HUNS NOT READY

Cannot Meet Allies Demand for JUS
tice Among Naiions--British Pre-
mier's stand Commended I'm
Washington.

Washington. Jan. e.---Gsrmauy is
rot ready to take the course to an
honorable peace which Lloyd George
yesterday showed her. This is the
private opinion of officials here after
IA careful perusal of yesterdays
speech by the British prime minister
The allied aims have been revealed
in detail. \ They are shown to be based
throughout not on selfish interest. but
on abstract Justice to all-friend
enemy and neutral.
In this respect they contrast strik-
insiy with the German aims as set
forth by Count Czernin AT Brest-
Lttovsk. 1t is believed, accordingly
that the burden of the continuation OF
hostilities has been definitely shifted
to Teator shoulders.
That Germany is going to assume
this burden is indicated by news re-
cefved In official quarters here today
that Germany has broken of nego.
tiatsons with Russia because of the
ins&tence of the Russian delegates
that the meetings be trqansferred to
Stockholm or some other neutral city,
This cause for the rupture of the ne
gctiations is regarded as mere pre-
text.
Were Gernnany- ready to proceed in
the path indicated by Lloyd George
ii is pointed out, she would gladly
have the negotiations removed to
some point where they would be more
accessible to the entente allies and to
allied opinion.
Suggestions made to officials here
tonight that the Lloyd-Georgc speech
opened the path to peace were frown-
ed upon, The features OF the speech
which apparently have most deeply
impressed American officials are
these:
/. The greater clarity with which
Lloyd George expresses President
Wilson's distinction between the Ger
man people and the German govern
ment.
:. Skill with which he has depicted
the details OF the entente aims as
beAed op. justice rather than interest.
