LONDON, Feb. 17.-The Independent

of President Wilson'S recent address
to Congress confirmation that neither

"Prcsidcnt Wilson," says the news

1t appears, however, that the German
government again will not seek an
understanding with President Wilson,
but, in view Of the war aims of Amer

There will be a tendency to associate

come fact All generals should be
equally loyal to all constitutionally ap-
pointed civil authorities. And, con
versely, the civil authorities should be
strictly impartial in their dealings with
generals. But these wise rules are not
easy to observe during a desperate war
so prolonged as this. And the anomaly
OF the position in Britain is that
strictly speaking. Mr.. Lloyd George is
not consttutionally appointed. Mr.. AS
qulth has never been censured by the
House of Commons. 1t is an open Sc
cret that, at any time, he could make
the position of the government in the
tiouse an impossible one. AS months
pass, Mr.. Asquith's success in running
the war compares more and more IA

what keeps Mr.. Lloyd George in power
is mainly the determination Of Mr.. As
