Germany Declares
Against League
of All Nations

AMSTERDAM. March O-Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press
For the first time in Germany a.seml-
official statement dismisses The idea
OF a league of nations as fantastic and
impossible. The statement, as published
in the German paper, says:
I'VE do not see that a league OF
nations could offer any guarantee Of
lasting peace among men. The nations
would perhaps greet such a league with
Joy but in due tire they would learn
To curse il because it could not fail to
deceive all their hopes most cruelty.
"The only possible result would be
continual strife and quarreling and
finally perhaps a fresh war in which
the whole world would be involved.
$50 far as Alsace-Lorraine is con-
eerned, We decline all leagues and con
presses."
