Foes Hungry, but Armies
Must Win War, Says Cecil

London, Jan. 30-Speaking at Not
tingham to-day in connection with the
war loan campaign, Lord Robert Cecil,
Minister of Blockade, said that it was
because he hated war that he was
supremely anxious there should be no
premature peace.
Peace, he said. must be based fun
damentally on the establishment in Eu-
rope of boundaries and divisions rest
ing on the principle Of nationality, or
with the consent OF the governed.
Great Britain, continued Lord Robert,
did not desire to crush Germany, but
TO show and inspire Germany with the
real ideals Of nstionhood. 1t was the
business of the Allies first TO carry the
war to successful issue. and he be-

throw into the spring campaign a
weight that will exceed anything she
has shown veto gather together al
her last resources OF men ana muhl-
lions and make one desperate ehort to
win, or at least to put price on Aliied
victory which the Entente peoples VIII
refuse to pay.
1t is now generally believed that
Germany does not intend to wait Tor
the Allied attacks in the spring, but
to strike first, and to strike on inc
Western front. The weakening in the
position Of the Greek King is inter
preted as a sign that General Won
Falkenhayn at their recent conference
told him no present help was at hanG
that the Macedonian campaign had
been abandoned or deferred IN
definitely.
Germany is known 20 be concen-
trating troops on the western front
and many organizations which were
used in the Rumanian campaign nave
appeared there. There are also some
from the Russian front.
The places Of these have been taken
by Turkish and Bulgarian troops, freed
from the Balkans by the elimination
of Rumania as a danger on the buI-
garian-Transylvania frontier. Petro-
grad reports that some of the Bull
garian troops have appeared as far
north as the Riga sector.
The fact thai the troop concentra-
lions have been made OF the West
front at points which would seem 10
be useless Tor attacS on the present
lines is causing increasing worry to
