NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-Count Won
Hertling has surrendered to the al
ser's militarists The ehancellor's
answer to the war aims OF President
Wilson and Premier Lloyd Geaorge
has been dictated By Germany's army
commanders. The spirit OF Hohenzol-
lern arrogance that dehed the world
with ruthless summarizing is still the
guiding factor IN German states
manship The Kaiser intends to make
at least one more effort TO save his
autocracy from being forced to bow
to the peoples viii. The deluded
leaders of Germany who lightly de-
fed the United States 10 enter the war
seem now tesbe under the impression
that they are about to win victori-
Gus peace. 1t is apparent that the
Won NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. clique
has read into President Wilson's and
Premier Lloyd Georges peace invi-
tations the prepo ferrous meaning that
the entente powers believe they are
losing the war No other reason can
adequately account for the new Ger
man demand suddenly exposed to
view that Great Britain dismantle the
Notifications of Gibraltar and her 9TH
er principal coaling stations as pre-
liminary to peace.
German militarism as reflected in
the present rulers of the Hohenzollern
autocracy has not yet been crushed
Count Won Hertling has revealed that
the menace of the worlds liberties
still continues to exert its megalo-
maniac power in Berlin. So far,
therefore, as Count Won Hertling is
concerned the war must go on,
But simultaneous with the German
chanceIlor's declaration to the reich
stag main committee, Count Zernin,
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister,
has made a far more conciliatory
statement of war aims to the Aus
trian parliament 1t is impossible to
attribute to chance the appearance of
these different declarations of poll
cies at the same time Count Ger
min is not in agreement with the Ger
man militarists. This can now be
accepted as a settled fact. Germany
can no longer rely on her southern
peighbor for ungrudging assistance
in fighting the war for imperialistic
aims This facet may be destined to
play vital part in the near future.
An obstacle to possible peace ad-
| justment was in Chancellor Hert-
ling's firm declination to consider the
ceding of Alsace Lorraine back to
France
