\ Double Purpose?

Diplomats of the entente allies here
regard the peace offer as having the
double purpose of placing upon the
allies the responsibility for continu-
ing the war and of impressing upon
the German people that they are
fighting "a defensive conflict against
enemies who refuse quarter. Com
ing Immediately after the culmina-
ton of the triumphant Rumanian
campaign, the peace, offer, entente
diplomats say. is intended also to i'm
press the German people that they
need have no lack of confidence in
tfeir government to continue the war.
