TO KEEP ENEMY COLONIES.
Announcement ct Allied Purpose
Stirs Comment in England.

LONDON, February 1.-The statement
Of Walter Hume Long that the German
colonies would never be returned is given
prominence in the morning papers, Two
or three of the papers comment with
cordial approval, but the Daily News
thinks that such an announcement made
casually at a war loan meeting will do
great harm to the cause of the allies in
America.
THE allies note to President Wilson,
says the News. did not contain any
reference to the fate of the German col
onies, and the omission was made the
text in America for some generous
tributes to the disinterestedness of Great
Britain. Whatever is the proper destiny
Of those colonies-and they do not all
fall in the same category-the decision
OF the allies either ought to have been
stated In the note or deferred until the
peace settlement"
