PARIS. Jan. 6.-The speech Of Premier
Lloyd George. in which he restated the
war aims Of the Entente, has reused q
storm Of approval in almost every Sec
tion Of the press. which regards the ad-
dress as important not only In the point
Of Wow Of the contents but in regard to
the present condition Of the Brest-
Litovsk peace negotiations between the
Germans and the Russian Bolsheviki.
Albert Thomas, French Minister Of Mu-
nitions. in telegram to Hup,amite, says ::
II would like to say how deeply moved
felt when Premier Lloyd George. turn
ing to me. read the frst few words Of the
passage Of his speech regarding Alsace-
Lorraine. The British Gov
ernment has not desired to leave the
Brest-I4itovsk declaration without reply"
Opinion Is divided considerably as to
the effect Of the utterance Of Lloyd
George upon the course OF the Brest-
Litovsk negotiations. There Is no in
clination in offcial circles to exaggerat,
the meaning Of the suspensions Of the
pourparlers or TO believe that the hitch
over the meeting IN neutral country -
likely seriously to, alter the existing
facts Of the situation in Russia.
The Maximalists now will not have
the shadow Of an excuse for suspectine
the democratic purity OF the British war
aims and will have to decide between
the dream Of a worldwide social revolu-
ton as a prelude to a world peace and
the settlement Of tho conflict by the
various countries in accordance with
their individual political character.
1t Is only those portions OF the Lloyd
George speech which deal with The east
ern settlement that have aroused cri;i-
cism. "Pertinax" finds fault with the op-
portunist nature OF the Premier's re-
marks. pointing out that there Is a
fragrant contradiction Of the broad
scheme outlined. "Pertinax" also is dis
appointed in the idea OF internationaliza
ton Of the Dardaneiles, saying that II
would be useless unless the Near Fast

Lloyd George, he concludes. believes
that there is a half way between defeat
and victory, hut he has been so Arm ir
some OF the essential points. which Ger
many cannot accept without suffering
military defeat that 'his speech on the
whole must gain our applause"

SPLENDID NEWS

The best news that has come over
the wires since the United States en-
tered the war, came in Friday even
ing at 4:40 p. M. This brief news
that instantly set all America wild
with jubilation, read:
Turkey has made definite peace
proposals to President Wilson. Aus
tria-Hungary and Turkey have in
formed Germany that they will ac-
cept President Wilson's peace
terms"
If these reports are true, it is pos
sible that peace is in sight-possibly
within a few weeks-for Germany,
standing alone, will be unable to
withstand the onslaughts from all
fronts. She must crumble and crum-
BILE rapidly.
Won Hindenburg and Ludendorff
are said to have told the kaiser re-
Gently that Germany has lost the
war-that the military situation was
hopeless. This statement is suppos-
ed to have been the cause of the Bit
ter words between the kaiser and
Hindenburg, OF which the dispatches
spoke few days ago.
Some chagrin and disappointment
is expressed by loyal Americans and
soldiers at the front over the sudden
ending of hostilities, should the wal
come to a close without giving the
allies a chance to wreak revenge by
razing a number of German cities
But would the revenge be worth tn,
price? Germany certainly deserve
such a punishment-her punishment
cannot be too severe-and the allie
should, and probably would, inflic
it with clear consciences, but sue
a revenge would have its price-an
thousands Of our brave boys live
would be that price. But judgin
from the attitude of the peoples
all the allied countries Germany ca
save herself from the threatened fiji
bath only by unconditional surrel
der. However, warning is sent o.
from Washington advising the peop
to not put too much faith in the b
lief that Germany will suddenly Ell
the war by accepting uncondition
surrender.
