they speak of say, unless she is
completely beaten to her knees.
Change of Viewpoint.
1t has been pointed out here dur
ing the last few days, when officials
were discussing the peace proposals
OF Sen. LaFOllette, that the view
point of the United States was
changed completely when it entered
the war. Up 10 that time PROPOSE
tons Of peace without victory and
suggestions of compromise had been
accepted as possible by the admins
tration. Revelations which have
shown the bitter hatred entertained
against the United States by not
alone German othcialdom but the
German people themselves has
changed this view. Only a few days
ago one Of the highest officials Of
the government declared that if the
United States consented TO any COM
promise with Germany, no matter
what the attitude of the entente. il
would simply make il certain that
this nation would later be compelled

Entente diplomatic circles
here today expressed the belief
that the only immediate result
of the pOpe's proposals will be
TO open the way for complete
statement by Germany's enemies
of their war aims. This might
result advantageously. officials
said. inasmuch as then Germany
would know what 10 expect and
might make counter suggestions
which, would possibly open the
door for peace.
While making il plain that they
looked with deepest suspicion on
the latest peace move because Of the
apparent advantage which Germany
enjoys under it, entente diplomats
admitted today that II cannot be re-
jected off-hand without very spe-
cifc reply.
