ERZBERGER'S STATEMENT
EYCITES PAN-GERMANS


The declaration of DR.. Matthias Erzberger.
leader Of the Clerical Party in the Reichs-
tag, that he could arrange basis for
peace within a few hours II allowed to talk
personally with Premier Lloyd George, has
caused a sensation, said advices from Ber-
lin today
The Pan-German newspapers especially
are excited over this and other statements
from Doctor Erzberger, who Is now in Swift
zerland presumably on n peace mission.
The Cologne Volkszeitung quotes the
Clerical leader as saying in an interview
with Zurich journalist:
"The nomination of Doctor Michaels to
the German Chancellorship is not weaken
ing of the peace motion In the Reichstag.
but strengthening Of 1t in every way.
"It would certainly be a crime not to do
all that is possible to prevent another win
ter campaign. After all. It Is still possible
to prevent that. Indeed, there is already
foundation for coming to compromise
with England, although that is where the
shoe pinches in effecting lasting peace"

Their object is evidently to break the Rus

then to swing to the north and south in
two great fianking movements.
The Germans struck at the most sensitive
part Of the Russian front when they thrust
from the direction Of Trembovla, driving to
cut the railroad connecting Tarnopol and
Buczacz. This disunited elements composing
the Eleventh Russian Armies and exposed
the Russian right flank.
Taken in connection with the military
aspect. the morale of the Russians has been

tremlst, and pro-Gsrman agents, who were
working from Petrograd. spreading mutiny
and discomfort among the troops.
Following the pounding Of German ar
tilery and the sharp attacks Of storming
troops the Russian lines crumbled at Bat
kow and the Sixth Grenadier Division began
deserting.
The retreat has continued ever since. al
though the Germans have been retarded by
strong rearguard attacks at some points.
In the sector Of the Czeremosz River,
the Germans forced a passage near Kuty

German military critics are of the belief
that the Russian retirement cannot be
checked until all the Russians are out Of
Galicia and Bukowina.
