'DRITls'H DEMANDS
CALLED TOO MUCH
BY GERMAN PRESS
Lloyd George Some Day Will
Be Reasonable, However"

AMSTERDAM, Jan. S-Discussins
the statement Of war aims made Friday
by Premier Lloyd George the Rheims.
che Westfalsche Zeitung OF Essen
says
when Lloyd George and British Ia
bon demand AlSaee for France and the
German colonies, Arabia, Syria and Pal
estine for England and speak Of the war
indemnity we will have to pay. the
answer in view OF the actual situation
is IL is too much The newspaper
thinks, however. that the calmer tone
in which Lloyd George spoke is worth
noting and adds
Lloyd George TO Be Reasonable.
We'll, Lloyd George too, will one day
become reasonable Until then U-boatS
and Hindenburg's swords will help"
The Frankfhrter Zcltung says.
"Only a defeated Germany could
think of negotiating on the terms laid
down by Lloyd George II is new war
speech and way to terminate the war
will only be open when the movement
which has begun in England and other
entente countries is strong enough to
replace Lloyd George, Clemenceau and
Baron Sonnno by men who recognize
the impossible nature OF such speeches
and draw consequences from such
recognition,
How far we are from that time it
Is hard to say"
People Not With Government.
The Nachrchten OF Dusseldorf says
THE main point OF the speech is that
Lloyd George binds Great Britain to
fight to the last breath for Alsace-Lor-
raine. We do not believe, however, that
the British people will fight to the last
breath for this war aim.
There Is no Alsace- Lorraine question
for us and the speech cannot, therefore.

was intended to throw suspicion on the
negotiations at Brest-Litovsk The
sword alone can convince this enemy
and make hi mready for peace"
Would Isolate Germany.
The Boersien Courier OF Berlin re
cards Mr. Lloyd Georges speech as an
attempt to isolate Germany by intiml-
dating her allies.
The Boersien Zeitting says that an i'm
tortant point in connection with the
speech Is that there is material dii-
ference between the present British war
aims and those known TO have been held
recently. This newspaper believes the
reason may be found in England's pres
ent position, which il describes as diff
iicult.
