Washington, d. c. From Ger

thoritative statement that Germany,

OF the war cannot be realized il the
ultimate result of the conflict Is such
as to permit a completely victorious
set of belligerents to impose its own

practical operating officers.
$f'There would be few deadlocks on

it was evenly divided. Men who
