Germany's present peace drive.
Following President Wilson's lead,
Loyd-George made a manifest bid
for Austrian and Turkish support in
over-ruling Germany's sway and to-
ward making a separate peace.
Authorities held too, that he was
striving by repetition to emphasize
the demand for characterization as a
means to future world peace. 1t was
significant, however, that he appear
ed to relieve his remarks Of the
spirit of interfering by ~disclaiming
any intent merely to overturn Ger
many's imperial constitution.
Germany must realize that restora-
ton and PREPARATION for damage done
are parts of the allied terms.
Reading between the lines, some
authorities felt Lloyd-George had in
effect announced hat the war will
not necessarily continue till the
kaiser has been d%ethroned, but only
there is sure evidence that his pow
er is crushed.
