Copenhagen. May 15.--The Ger
mans are still OF the belief that they
will be able to reach the English
channel coast. bar navigation OF the

begin peace negotiations. according
to an interview the Poiitiken has had
with prominent German politician.

quested that his name be not used.
He added that the German offensive
thus far had proved failure. owing
to heavy losses and that the German
high command was waiting to obtain
more artillery.
Germany had lost in killed and
wounded and made prisoner three
million men. he added. Answering
questions about the opinion Of the

uation on the west front and the end
of the war. the newspapers infor-
mant said
I'VE still believe. according to
messages from our military leaders,
that We shall reach the north coast,
where our guns can bar navigation
OF the channel. and fire at south
England. II is suggested from the
German side that this course OF war
will commence. and as far as Ger
many Is concerned. II will be very
easy to start armistice negotiations,
as. despite all assertions. we don't
aim at any conquering. We want
neither the mine districts at Lor-
raine's west frontier. nor Antwerp.
I'VE have lost, including killed.
wounded and prisoners. three million
OF men. Do you think that we in.
tend to make foolish claims and send
our children through another four
years Of war? Moreover, we shall
have enough to do during the age
OF man to control the new Russian
country and secure their mercantile
and industrial Influence. Resnon-
sible German nol'ticians only demand
that the western powers shall give
