PEACE TALK
IS DASHED
Way in West is Clear, Says
German Chancellor.
TROOPS POUR into BELGIUM
Flanders Reported Flooded With Ger
Man Soldiers and War Material
From Eastern Front.

London, Dec. 19.-Germany's way
in the west is clear, inasmuch as
peace by negotiation with Great Brit
ain is out of the question at present,
Chancellor Won Hertling asserted in
an interview given to the director Of
the Wolff bureau, the semi-official
German news agency. as quoted in
dispatches reaching London.
The interview was given in re-
Spouse 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 be-
traya1 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 invec-
tive, but perhaps rather prolonged
thereby because it is clearly out Of
the question to negotiate with men
OF such temper. For some time it
has been impossible for an attentive
observer to doubt that the British
government under Lloyd Georges
leadership is completely inaccessible
to the idea of just peace by under
standing. His speech affords convinc-
ing proof of this
The chancellor then discussed the
origin of the war. saying Germany's
conscience was clear, and added:
More than a year has passed since
we and our allies offered the enemy
the hand of peace. 1t was rejected.
In the meantime our reply to the pa
pal note has again set forth our stand
point"
: After referring to the conclusion of
the armistice with Russia, the chan
cellor went on:
Lloyd Georges speech is the Brit
ish answer to the papa1 note. Our
way in the west accordingly is clear.
1t is not Lloyd George who is judge of
the world, but history. AS on August
2, 1914, so also today we may look
forward to It's verdict with equani-
nifty"

Germans Pour Into BeIqium.

Amsterdam, Dec. 19-The popula-
ton Of Flanders is expecting import
ant events in consequence of great
military movements. which remind
one CT October, 1914.

interruptedly coming from the east

arrived in the Waes country EAST
F1anders), in the neighborhood of st.
Nicholas, for example, while other
columns are going further west. This
results in terrible hardships for the
people, whose homes are requisitioned
for military quarters.
All schools, converts and even
churches have been converted into
hospitals. The conditions of the peo-
Pile is pitiable, every requisite Of life
being appropriated by the Germans,
entailing increasing mortality among
children, young women and old peo-
pie The Germans take everything
mich cows, eggs, medicines, bed lin
en- and mattresses. A protest against
the murder of the Belgian people must
arise throughout the whole world.
German officers encourage disap-
pointed soldiers with the prospect of
an offensive against the British with
enormous forces. The Germans uni
versally believe the war will end in
three months.
The ceaseless military movements
result in a large number of requisi-
tons and universal forced lager for
the laying of tramlines. There are
many other signs supporting the as
sertion that Important events are
Imminent.
