The Central Empires are angling for

English and American statesmen.
Her reply as TO the first five points Of
the Wilson speech was fully anticipated.
Her answer TO the sixth and C!ghtA

to Russia and France to talk peace
independently, but scornful rejection Of
her statement that she cannot talk Of

The answer to the seventh point was

tone far more subdued and diplomatic
than anything Germany has issued TO
