Admiral Won Hintze. German For
eign Secretary, before leaving for

the conferences between Emperor

theil advisers, was interviewed by

that Germany discarded finally the
mask of moderation toward parti-

Admiral Won Hintze said:
Discusses George Statement
Lloyd Georges statement was
vague and uncertain. Nothing is
known authoritatively in German
political or military circles about
such reasonable peace proposals.
Had the entente statesmen seri-
ously intended to pave the way for
a peace by understanding they could
have approached Germany through
the properly authorized persons with
a view of discussion that would
bring both'parties into contact. There
can be no question, therefore, of a
refusal by Germany of any rea-
sonable peace proposal"
Admiral Won Hintze reviewed the
conditions of peace that had been
laid down in other speeches of Pre-
mier Llyod George, in the MESA ges
of President Wilson and in the de-
cisions of the entente allied confer
encG at Versailles. and the views
expressed by German Chancellors
and Count Czernin, former Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister. He said
that several German ChancellorS had
pointed out that the enemy con-
tinued to show a will to prosecute
the war until the humiliation of
Germany should be accomplished.
Subsequent developments have
shown the same picture" Admiral
Won Hintze. declared.
In concluding, Admiral Won HintZe
was emphatic in asserting that guilt
for the prolongation of the war lay
not with Germans but with the en-
0snte statesmen.
