Alfred Capus Forecasts AL

Paris, Jan. e--Writing in the Figa-
70 Alfred Capus says;
1T Is not bad thing to familiarize
public opinion today with the possible
conditions Of peace. In fact, the sit
uation has entirely changed, since
Germany proposed the conference.
Discussions of this kind would have
been dangerous last year. They would
have led the enemy to believe US
weary of war, and would have
strengthened his confidence. Be-
cause he has taken the initiative the
case is reversed this year, and it be-
comes evident that Germany is now
unable to pro1ong the war for more
than a few months,

fore Submitting to them she will use
her last military and diplomatic re-
sources and will strike many desper-

Characteristic feature of the war of
1917. We must be prepared to meet
formidable onslaught and repu1se
them victorious1y. Out of these a
peace will evolve, which this time our
adversary will have to sue for and
not suggest with dominating superior
ity, Then it, will fall to the Allies
to state their conditions.

Gustav IfefFe again devetes a lead

violation of Swiss neutrality by the

the Germans know very well the

the writer argues that this will be a
