BRITAIN FROWNS
ON PROPOSALS TO END
WAR AS "PREMATURE"
Determined to Continue
Conflict Until Germany
Is Driven Back Upon
Home Soil, Correspond
ent Is Informed.
By ED L. KEEN
LONbON, Juno 17.
Although an official statement Is not
procurable, I am authoritatively Informed
that the Allies', 'especially dreat Britain,
would regard any German peace over
tures at this time ns premature.
Great Britain Is determined to con
tinue the war at least until Germany Is
driven back upon her own territory. Any
peace talk that has reached the United
States certainly has not had Its origin
either In London or any other capital
of tho Allies.
There are nevcral reasons why Great
Britain In particular Intends to prose
cute the war until tho German grip
upon Belgium and Northern Franco has
been shaken. Briefly, these aro among
tho mora Important:
First It Is tho Arm hrllnf hern tlior
Germany has reached and passed the
high peak of her offensive efllclencs-. Eng
land believes that from now on the
Kaiser must fight desperately on the de
fensive to hold what his armies grasped
by "getting tho Jump" on tho Allies at
the beginning of tho war.
Second It Is the universal belief hero
that England Is now only approaching
the height of her offensive ofllclcncy.
When Its full intensity Is developed, the
Germans, it Is believed here, must be
rolled back out of Franco.
STATING POWERS WILL WIN.
Third. Military men here areo that tho
final verdict will bo won. not by brilliant
dashos, but by a long-drawn-out en
durance struggle. They base this bellof
upon tho strength of lino after line of
strongly fortified works on both sides
of the Flanders-Franco battlo line And
England Is certain that tho longer the
Btruggla Iho more certainly will tho great
resources of the Allies ultimately over
whelm tho Knlser.
Fourth England wishes to demonstrate
that a cltlzon army, organized by volun
teer enlistment, can copo successfully
with what sho calls "German militar
ism." Tho Blgnlng of a peace pact now,
no matter how satisfactory Its torms
might be to tho Allies, would leave tho
solution of tho question of tho ability
of a "democratic" army still In doubt.
In suport of tho statement that Ger
many has passed tho height of her often
bIvo ability, it Is pointed out hero that
since the dash Into Franco last fall tho
Germans have been unablo to make any
appreciable progress against' tho Franco
Flanders front On tho contrary, they
have been forced back at several points,
notably north of Arras.
LACK OF MUNITIONS FACTOR.
Tho German victory In Gallcla h cred
ited to temporary shortage' of shells In
Russia. Tho samo lack of munitions. It
Is admitted, has Drovonted Francn nnr!
England from launching an effective drive
against tho enemy. But this situation Is
now being remedied, both In Franco and
Englnnd, and within a short tlmo the
superiority in ammunition supply will
shift from tho Austro-Germans to tha
Allies.
The people of Franco unquestionably
would repent an attempt at peace nego
tiations at this time. No other nation In
Europo can boast of more whole-hearted
support from Its citizens, and tho fiery
patriotism of Franco demands not a com
promise, but a decisive victory,
The English were slow In becoming
aroused to tho seriousness of the strug
gle. But once aroused, they aro deter
mined to stay in with bulldog tenacity.
There Is no sentiment here for a peaoo
agreemont, no matter what It gives to
the Allies, until Germany has first been
decisively beaten on tho field of battlo.

Tho Administration was disturbed to

Tho State Department announced that

It was understood thero Is Uttlo doubt
that a torpedo struck tho Nebraskan, and
tho impression was that the publication of
the facts nas postponed as a. result of
a desire to add no fuel to tho flamo of
resentment concerning the Lusttanla's de

Dr. Anton Moyer-Qerhard, German Am
