United States into the struggle. He
regretted that Chancellor von Hert-

because the chancellor had declared

London. Jan. 26.-The Times thinks
:he speeches Of Chancellor Won Hert-

bined diplomatic offensive against the

1.-THE attack obviously was intended
to shake the solidarity Of our defense

The chief objective Of the converging
forces. Neither speech disclosed the
least readiness to make any conces-
dons which the allies declare to be in
dispensable."

War Must Go On.

tanned by a majority of the morning
newspapers of London respecting the
speeches of Chancellor Won Hertling
and Foreign Minister Czernin is that
Germany regards herself as the con-
queror, that she is determined upon
aggression and is prepared to listen to
no peace terms except her own, and
that therefore the war must go on.
It is admitted that the tone of the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister is
more conciliatory than that of the
German chancellor but this Is at
tributed largely to the pressure of in
ternal conditions in Austria Hungary.
Count Czernin's respectful references
to President Wilson's address are ne
ceived coolly for the most part be-
because OF his declared fidelity to the
alliance with Germany
