VIEWS OF SOCIALISTS
 NOT YET KNOWN BY THE OUTSIDE WORLD

London, January s.-While no Ger man official or semi official reply to Premier Lloyd Georges speech has yet been issued, much newspaper comment has been received. Some of the German newspapers recognize the moderation of the speech, but they declare with out exception that the conditions laid down by him cannot be accepted. It is considered significant, however, that the comment of Vorwaerts has not been received so that the opinion of the socialists in Germany is unknown outside of that country.
 Austrian newspapers. according to dispatches received by way of Switzer- land, express the view that the pre- mier repudiated a desire to dismember Austria and thus, as the Nieue Frele Presse puts it, the "Czechs and Jugo- slavs now understand that their false abandoned them."
 The Kolnishe Zeitung, according to dispatch from the Central News agency, says of the prime ministers $ speech: 'If his war aims should be fulfilled Germany would be driven back into her position in 1914, but without Alsace-Lorraine and the Ger man colonies and loaded with an im- mense war indemnity, faced with a dangerous Polish state on her from tier and moreover, delivered to the discretion of the entente allies for re- ceiving goods. The peace offer of Pre- mier Lloyd George cannot be &C., cepted"
