By KARL w. ACKERMAN.

BERLIN, Jan. 16.--Germany does
not regard the allied reply to the
American peace note as listing peace
terms, but as setting forth the en-
tente's aims OF conquest. The note
is regarded as q confirmation OF the
entente's intention of crushing Ger
many.
The German public. st was appar-
ent today, has arrived at this decis-
ion after the first shock at the
"ridiculously arrogant" phrases of
the note This general opinion has
served to weld all Germans together
even more firmly in determination
to continue the war in defense OF
national existence.
While the general opinion is that
further peace moves are not likely
