81 London, Feb. 27-As far as the Bril-
tish public Is concerned the mild
words Of Count Won Hertling concern
ing Gerpany's intention and partial
acceptance of President Wilson's basis
for peace, falls on almost deaf ears.
A few weeks, even a few days ago
their reception would have been differ
ent. But German speech is now judg-
ed by German action.
The press is unanimous in the be-
lief that the whole eastern situation
has been carefully planned to bring
eastern Europe under German domina-
tion.
The most important newspapers
! leading toward peace, such as the
Westminster Gazette and the Man
chester Guardian, have undergone a
change Of outlook by the events Of the
past week. The Daily News says:
When we turn from his words to
his acts in Russia we see his profess
menship which plumbers country
With which It has just made peace,
ltters false statements of Justice and
1elf-goyernment."
|Eg3 The speciousness Of this speech
only nakessits hypocrisy more con-
\ spicious and detestable, says the Daily
h Mat which remarks that the declara-
ton that Germany never thought of
assailing Swiss neutrality is gravely
9ninous.
