Count Czernin differs markedly from that
Of Chancellor Won Hertling.
Mr.. Lloyd George thinks not.
In other words, England and America
have by declarations of their official rep
resentatives come definitely to state of
open though not unfriendly difference of
opinion as to how the Allies should con-
duct the war 1t is the military "knock-
outs policy against the moderate view that
Germany.
In Perspective
4 SHORT chronology may be useful in
IA interpreting these conflicting latest
announcements of the Allies, for the rea-
son that the pressure of President Wilson
happens at this time to influence a Cabi-
net crisis in England-a most unusual
situation. A parallel might be found in
the possibility of a statement by Lloyd
George affecting the status of an Ameri-
can Cabinet member, or even the Presi-
dent.
Late in November the Allies Supreme
War Council, meeting at Paris, refused to
consider war aims, considering military
policy alone following the Italian crash.
When Lloyd George canleeback to Lendon
after making his famous speech on
unity which did so much to stir the
forts, he found Cabinet crisis awaiting
him. However, he won out when he
showed that there was to be no interfer-
ence with the English army command, that
there would not, after all, be a French
generalissmo. Therein lies one clue to
the present situation
The LansdOWne Letter
THEN followed the famous Lansdowne
4 letter, urging that the Allies restate
their war aims, show the German people
that they were not to be crushed if they
behaved, and begin a diplomatic offensive
against Germany. Lord Lansdowne was
IN many respects seconded a few days
later by President Wilson, who, in declar-
ing war on Austria, laid down terms of
world peace closely parallel to those of
Lord Lansdowne. This speech caused an
epidemic of influenza among English poll
ticlans, Lloyd George being laid up for
week.
Lloyd Georges Course
ON December 10 Lloyd George
~ emerged in speech on which Eng
land disagreed, saying there was 'no
half way house to victory" However,
the understanding was then that Eng
land % general way approved of Mr.
Wilson's views, but not those of Lord
Lansdowne. Later in December Lloyd
George said that "vctory alone will give
reality to terms" and that Reinforcement
of the purpose for which the Allies are
lighting is essential to the future free
dom and peace of mankind"

Comment ON the Presi-
dents Reply and Attend
ant Circumstances


DRESIDENT WILSON'S speeches AL
ways provoke profuse comment, but
in connection with his latest effort. which
touches so closely all the Allies, particular
interest attaches
Elaboration or Modification?
ONE marked current in American COM
~ ment is that which hurries to see in
the "four principles" speech no change
from the fourteen commandments, regard
ing it merely as elaboration and explana-
ton. Such papers, therefore, as "The
New York World, (" "The New York Sum-"
1.-THE New York Evening Post" "The
Brooklyn Eagle" "The Washington Post"
and "The Springfield Republican" take
this view:
interpreting Mr.. Wilson"
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE distinctly
- differs. Telling how it had thought
the original fourteen commandments
were pledge" and not provisional
SKETCH" this paper remarks that "The
New York American" which wholly ic
nored the fourteen commandments, but
now praises this speech as an omen of
peace, was, after all, on the right track
1t is more pacific demand, and, "obviousss
ly the only person competent to interpret
Mr.. Wilson is Mr.. Wilson himself"
Flaws in Allied ArmOr
THEN there is the view that Mr.. Viii
son is bound to fail in this diplo-
m a in tbo
that there is no team work with the
other Allies. This stand is suggested by
two Washington correspondents, Mr.. G.. w.
Gilbert, of The New York Tribune, and Mr..
David Lawrence, of "The Evening Post"
After commenting on the marked diff
ference expressed by Mr.. Wilson and
Lloyd George concerning the Austrian
reply, Mr.. Gilbert remarks:
"The latest speech was equally an indepen-
dent essay. Many persons in Washington are
beginning to that it was less fortunate
than his last utterancc. Washington is slow
to see this SO much prestige attaches to
every appearance of Mr.. Wilson in the field
OF international politics.
"For the first time the Entente group /
including this country, the 'co-belligerent,'
stand divided in the public definition of their
position as result of the two speeches of
Lloyd George and the President
"Von Hertling and Czernin are playing that |
game just as hard as Mr.. Wilson u.s. The idea
Of dividing the enemy is not the exclusive
happy inspiration of the United States"
isceIIaneOus Approving Views
THERE are, of course, the usual num-
l. Der of profusely approving and un-
discriminating views of Mr.. Wilson's
speech, and more general agreement that
Mr.. Wilson has extended a peace bough
to Austria and mailed fist to Germany:
that it means war to the end, weakening
of Teuton morale, strengthening of Amer
lean determination, or, as ''The Springfield
Republican" thinks, that it has come too
late now that Russia has declared peace and
the Ukraine is taking orders from Berlin.
