ARTHUR BALFOUR SENDS NOTE
TO AMPLlFY ENTENTE REPLY
Why Peace is impossible at Present
is Explained.


Washngton.-Th Entente Allies,
in note addressed by Arthur Bal
four. British Foreign Minister, to Am
bassador Spring Rice, and delivered to
the State Department, amplify their
reply to President Wilson's peace
note, by explaining in detail why they
believe 1t impossible at present to at
tain peace which will assure them
such guarantees as they consider es.
sential The note also explains why
the Allies demand the expulsion of
Turkey from Europe, restoration of
AlsaceLorraine to France, Of Italia
lrredenta to Italy, and the other ter
ritorial changes set forth. Those
who think the future Of the world may
be insured by international treaties
and international laws, the note says,
have ill-learned the lessons taught by
recent history. After charging that
German influence in Turkey had re-
suited In conditions as barbarous and
more aggressive than were known
under Sultan Abdul Hamid, and that
it had been shown Germany canno,
be expected to respect treaty obliga
tions. Mr.. Balfour says:
so long as Germany remains the
Germany which, without shadow OF
justification, overran and barbarously
ill.treated country it was pledged
to defend. no state can regard Its
rights as secure IL they have no better
protection than solemn treaty"
