In some quarters here there was an
inclination to believe that the first
outbursts of the German press against
Lloyd Georges speech were govern

will maneuvor into some sort of peace
negotiations.

Denunciation Of the Peace
Terms of Lloyd George
Seem to Be Government
Inspired and Not Senti-
ments of Whole Country.

Washington, Jan. S.-Preliminary
reports indicated today that Germany
is indisposed to accept Lloyd Georges
peace terms as basis for negotia-
tions.
However, other advices showed that
Germany's Liberals are beginning to
assert themselves more strongly than
ever before. This gave some hope
that the internal reconstruction de-
sired by the allies and the United
States as peace basis will eventually
get under way.
The Liberals opposition to Ger
many's annexation plans for Russia
was considered as perhaps the most
hopeful sign the Teuton mind has
shown. While some here suggested
that If Germany were to get the slice
Of Russia she wishes, peace could be
obtained, the general feeling was that
such a peace would only lead to
trouble later. Protection against flu
ture wars is one of the main things the
allies want, however in any peace
agreement now reached.
