CONSIDERED OFFER OF
PEACE IN OCTOBER
GERMAN IMPRESSION
OF ALLIES REPLY
Reflected in Statement of Ger
man Oficial-Replles
to Accusations.

BERLIN, Jan. 2 by wireless 10 Say
Vile, n. Y.)-The German impression
of the entente's reply to the peace
proposals of the central powers was
reflected today in a statement mace
10 the semi.official Overseas News
agency by DR.. Mammann, who until
the turn of the year was director or
the intelligence department OF the
foreign office. This comment was not
based on the official text OF the en-
tente's note. as thus far only the YER
sion supplied by the Havas News
agency from Paris has been received
here.
DR., Hammann, who collaborated IN
the important work of the foreign Of
fice last month, said that considera,
ton by Germany and her allies OF a
peace offer dated back as far as
October. Al that time the Intention
was entertained of making an honest
and sincere attempt TO prevent further
useless bloodshed. Being asked as TO
the general impression created by the
entente reply, he said:
IF I am to express an opinion in
few words. it is This: Instead OF taking
place on y Judges chair. Apparently The
Entente forgot nothing that could possl-
bly, Influence nfutralS against us.
The point of the accusation. however
Ia which the largest spncc is allotted IN
the Entente note, is the martyrdom of
Belgium But If one desires TO pas.
