GERMANY FEELS
ENTENTE REPLY
ENDS PEACE HOPE.

Berlin. Jan. 4-tNia London) The
official text of the Entente reply to the
peace proposals has been finally re-
ceived by the American embassy by
the roundabout route of Washington
and Copenhagen. 1t will be presented
by Ambassador Gerard to the foreign
office this afternoon.
Sober second thought in official Cir
Giles confirms the impression expressed
on the day the press version of the
note was received here that the note
puts an end for the present of all
chances of peace and that Germany
and her allies must buckle down to the
task Of continuing the struggle with
all energy. This undercurrent of opin-
ion is largely supported by the opinion
expressed in the neutral press.
