farmers not TO hold wheat Tor

While II has been the practice IN

3 TALKS
SOUND WARLIKE
British Papers See in Ger
min and Hertling No Hope
for SpeedV Peace.

London. Eng, Jan. 26.-The view
entertained by a majority Of the morn
ing newspapers OF London respect
ing the speeches of chancellor Won
Hertling AMI foreign minister Ger
min is that Germany regards herself
as the conqueror. that she is deter
mined upon aggression and IS pre-
pared to listen to no peace terms ex-
cept her own. and that therefore the
war must go on.
It is admitted that the tone Of the
Austro-H Hungarian foreign minister is
more conciliatory than that OF the
German chancellor but this is attributed
largely to the pressure of internal
conditions in Austria-Hungary Count
Czerniu's respectful references 70
president Wilson's address are re-
ceived cOolly for the most part be-
cause Of his declared fidelity to the al
lance with Germany.
Chancellor Won Hertling's speech was
characterized by lord Robert Cecil
minister Of blockade. in a statement to
the Associated Press as very Warlike'
certainly not a peace speech lie
added that the speech had been dlc-
tated by Hilderburg and Ludendorft
and contained no declaration of policy
regarding Belgium which he had al
ways looked TO as test Of the reality
of any proposals from the other side,
German Press Is Critical.
An Amsterdam dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company says Ger
man newspaper comment is divided
on the subject OF chancellor Won Hert-
ling's speech. The pan-German news
papers approve Of his remarks on
AIsace-Lorraine, but reprOach him for
his conciliatory tone in regard to Bel
GUM and France and for not using
the language OF a victor"
