Chancellor Won. Hertling asserted in
an interview given to tho director OF
the Wolff Bureau. the semi-official
German news agency, as quoted in

The interview was given in re-
sponse to a request for a reply to the
recent speech OF Premier Lloyd
George, who said he would regard
peace overtures with Prussia at the
moment the Prussian military spirit
was drunk with boastfulness as a
betrayal OF the great trust with
which he and his colleagues had been
charged.
Lloyd George calls US criminals
and bandits" said the Chancellor.
Modern wars are not won by In
vective, but, perhaps, rather prolonged
thereby, because II 10 clearly out OF

OF such temper. For some time 1t has
been impossible for an attentive OBJ
server 10 doubt that the British Gov
ernment, under Lloyd Georges lead
ershlp, Is completely inaccessible TO
the idea OF just peace by under
standing. His speech affords con-
vincing proofs OF this"
The Chancellor then discussed the
origin of the war. saying Germanys

said. since we and our allies offered

After referring 20 the conclusion OF
the armlstlce with Russia, the Chan
csllor went on:

way in tho west accordingly Is clear
