ILOYDS QUOTE STRONG ' ODDS AGAINST PEACE Continue! from Fnie One with scorn tho German Chancellor's attempt, to place blame for continuance of tho war on tho Allies becauso .they cannot accept Germany's terms of peace terms that would place the other nations of Europe at hermorcy." GERMAN OFFICIALS HOLD NO HOPE OF EARLY PEACE By CARL W. ACKERMAN BERLIN, May 25. German otnclals cherish no high hopes of an early termina tion of the war, despito the Increasing amount of peace talk in Berlin, Washing ton and London. - - President Wilson's peaco remarks at tho Mecklenburg celebration last Saturday ' Impressed the "German public sympatheti cally and won .much notice in the German press. Officials, however, are not optimis tic. Though they believe England is tired of the war, they hold that France may exort such pressure on British statesmen as to prevent peace until the expected Al lied offensive. The German newspapers, particularly the conservative organs, do. not relish tho Idea expressed by the Socialist leader, Philip Schiedemann, in an Interview, that Presi dent Wilson might bo an acceptable peace maker. "Before he undertakes the difficult role of peacemaker, President Wilson must provo a change in his attitude not only by demanding but by enforcing a respect for international law by our foes" said the Lokal Anzelger, ono of the most Influ ential newspapers. The Tages-Zeltung (Count von Revent )ow), the Tagllche Rundschau and the Kreux-Zeltung, which urged Germany not to yield to the United States In the re cent submarine dispute and expressed dis pleasure at the terms of settlement, all declare .President Wilson unacceptable to Germany under present conditions. Their editorials, however, cannot be said to re flect the views of all Germans. ALLIES TO RESTORE SERBIA, PETER'S REGENT ASSERTS ATHENS. May 26. Prince Alexander of Serbia, Regent of King Peter's landless kingdom, in an Interview said that he had assurances from all the Allies that no set tlement of the war would be accepted which did not provide for the restoration of gerbla. 'T was very glad," ho said, "to be able to assure myself during my visits to the capitals of the Allies that our legitimate expectations have found the slncerest sympathy and will have tho most efficacious ild. I was assured that the Allies are United in their determination that Serbia must be restored. "While waiting for the deliverance our poor population In Serbia has suffered ter ribly from the cruel regime under which It now lives. It Is Macedonia that Is suffering the most from Bulgarian terrorism, and It is precisely Macedonia that the Bulgars claim la exclusively Bulgarian! 'The fate of our civil population Is what worries us most, and we are trying all the time to tind Borne way to stop this extermination of our already almost half exterminated race." The Prince spoke with deep emotion of the efforts of the Americans to aid the suffering Serb civilians. He praised espe cially the work of Dr," Edward Ryan, who is now In Belgrade. mjHBLAGANIWNIHAN BATTUTO I M0M1 IRA MDIGEEDHBRENTA. i)opo Dodid Ore di Spaventoso Inferno gli Alpini Han Re- spinto Cinque Attacchi Nemici SEMPRE LA BAIONETTA Clean-up Day at Ridley Park The third annual clean-up season was inaugurated In Ridley Park today.
