PEACE HOPE
At Berlin
WANING
Note Of Allied Nations Ii Re-
ply 10 German Request For
Conference Deemed Not
Deserving Of Rejoinder

Berlin. Jan. 2.--Berlin's Z. peace
hopes arc dissIpated.
Now It IL war to the last ounce
Of human blood.
The allies' note 10 mot deserving Of
a written rcjoinder,
Summed up. that Is the Berlin
press opinion--and It typifles the
opinion Of the man In the street.
The German decision is that the
allies peace answer must be force OF
arms under Hindenburg's Leadership.
Privately the editorials OF some
Berlin newspapers are more violent
In their denunciation OF the entente
course. than their printed stories.
New Years night they were all 1t
their desks writing editorials. One
OF the editors. the man writing the
leader Tor the Lokal Anseiger. was
asked what Germany would do.
Hold out." he flashed back. 1T
10 insanity for Europe TO bleed 10
'dextA--but the allies refuse peace.
Only one reply can come and that
from our armies. Let Hindenburg
answer"
The German public read the full
text OF the note on Tuesday. The
dissipation OF the three weeks peace
hopes therefore did not occur until
after celebration Of New Years. This
years celebration was every bit as
gay as last year.
American Ambassador Gerard has
not yet received the oficial text Of
the reply for transmission to the
German foreign once.
Today's newspaper editorials re-
hected the bitterness OF the writer's.
None ought to be surprised at the
action Of the entente nations in re-
jecting peace proposals. said the
Lokal Anzeigen. "but It Is surpris-
Ing that ten men should have signed
q document without foundation. q.
frivolous. lying document, constitu-
ting the last kernel Of untruth.
'"It may be the people Of Ger
many will read hope Of peace be-
tween the lines. However. we con-
slider u the sharpest refusal. It Is
impossible for the entente allies to
say palmer that peace is not wanted
and negotiations are not desired
and this without laying any weight
upon. nor knowing our terms. We
now can see that the world Is full OF
devils. Let everyone In Germany do
his utmost, so that they will not
succeed. 4

to find evidence that anybody has been influenced

is the product of mere controversial vanity and love
of personal notoriety and great deal can be LETT
to the common sense of the American people II
was sufficient to save the country in the civil war
when Copperheadism everywhere, and it Will
be sufficient now. Our own opinion is that most OF
the soapbox orators are never so harmless as when
they are talking and that they are probably doing
more to solidify the country on the issues of the
war than any other agency except German
diplomacy. ".......
The one thing to remember in regard to all this
speech making is that if actual crime results the
man who urged the criminal act is equally guilty
with the man who committed it.
