SPEED--ANxlETY
English Lord Sees Reason OF
Hurry for Peace.
SAYS Huns Anxiety for Forces
Is the Cause.

London, Oct 14-'"The speed of the
German reply is indicative. OF the
anxiety the Germans feel for the safe
ty Of a rapidly retreating army" said
tVfscount Northcliffe to an Associated
Press representative last night.
"At the time they were being ques-
toned about the Lusitania' they play
ed for delay, delay. delay" he con-
tinued. Now they are fighting to
gain days, even hours. Their reply IS
neither candid nor straightforward. 1t
Fconsists of evasions for the purpose
of unbalancing the minds of simple
folk in allied countries and to convince
the discontented section OF the Ger
man people that the allies will not ac-
cept what is declared by them to look
like a reasonable peace offer.
The character of the anSwer shows
clearly the atmosphere of equivocatlon
| in which the German government
lives and moves. Germany in fact
only declares herself to comply. She
/ does not comply. She has not accepted
the presidents terms. She only says
i-untruly-thatt those terms have been
| accepted.

J. "You will remember that in 1870
the Germans, when they had the grea,
French army enveloped at Sedan de-
clined to give an armistice. Bismarck
said; :
