The Berlin correspondent of the Pollliken slates' that a prominent Ger
man politician In an Interview eald the offensive on the western front
had not turned out as expected. Too many lles had been lost, and Hln
denburg'a train was stopped, but he still believed the German army would
succeed In making Its way todhe north coast.
From there the German cannon would bo able to blockade the channel
and reach the south coast of England. This probably would mnke It
easier to bring about an armistice and peace negotiations In which Ger
many would not aim at Conquests. Then the war would be oer.
The politician thenstated that Germany did not want anything but
the return of her colonies nnd supremacy In Madagascar, He meant that,
an armistice would take place this summer.
GENERAL MAURICE MAKES HIS REPLY
TO PREMIER DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
Continued from Pate On
After the short personal explanation
which follows I do not Intend to re
open the question unless and until I
am asked authoritatively to do so
Obviously a. newspaper controversy
as to the correctness of facts stated in
mv letter of May 6. which I was and
nm Prepared to substantiate before a
tribunal appointed bv Parliament, Is
Impossible, as proof denends upon the
production df confidential Information.
I feel, however, that I owe my read
ers a word of explanation on two
comments which the Prime Minister
made on my conduct, and these t can
answer without disclosing secrets.
The first ta as to my presence nt
Versailles at the session In which the
question of taking over the line was
discussed. I accompanied the British
representatives to Versailles, and I
was present at the first meeting of
this session of the supreme -? coun-
ell. During the meetings held after
the first I was In a corridor outside
the council chamber, and In the Inter
vals between the meetings wni en-
gaged on work n connection with
h , " . ,. T k.u
questions under examination. I nom,
therefore, that my statement that I
was at Versailles at the time is Justi-
Med.
Didn't Hear Speech
As to the second point, the Prime
Minister asked why I did not make any
criticism of the ministerial statements
either to him or to my chief, the Chief
of the Imperial staff, while I was In of
fice The Prime Minister made his
speech on April 9. 1 was not, as had
been stated In some reports of the
speech. In the House on the occasion
The day on which the Prima Minister
spoke was also a day on which tho
enemy's attack In Flhnders began. Be
tween then and April 20, when I handed
oxer my work to my successor, 1 was
xery much occupied with my duties, and
was part of the time In France, t hnd
no leisure to do more than glance nt the
Prime Minister's speech. I did notice
the statement about the forces Jn Fgypt
and In Palestine, but that did not seem
to me by Itself to warrant my calling
attention to It at a time when ex'ery
one was ytty much occupied with other
matters.
I left the war office on April 20 on
leaxe. and then for the first time read
the full report of the speech. While J
was on leaxe I heard of Bonar Iaw's
answers to the questions in the House
on April 23. I returned to London on
April 29 by arrangement to make my
ofDll farewell at the War Office, and
I n..-. rrt (in tha "Uanauprl pa vine ttr

April 23." It was then, on April 29, and
not till then, that I formed a definite
opinion that Bonar J.aw's replies and
those statements of the Prime Minister
which I haxe questioned, taken together,
put upon the soldiers a responsibility
wllch In my judgment should he borne
by the ministers, and It appeared to me
a matter of urgency to correct that Im
pression, as the Prime MlnlsteV Indi

I had left the office, to my chief of the

to be as long as I could wait, because
I had been warned to expect, orders to
go to France on or after May 10, and 1
did not wish to make such charges on
the exe of leaxing the country, as sug
gertlons have been made that I was

MAURICE STATEMENT
RENEWS EXCITEMENT
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
copwiosf, iffi. Bv Jveip York Tltnrs Co.
London, May 15,
The Dally Chronicle circulated Gen
eral Maurice's statement to the whole
English press, irrespectlxe of party af.
nuations This lact created no little ex
citement in Journalistic circles.
The Chronicle has been a supporter
of the Lloyd George government during
periods When his tenure of power has
oeen an mucn in me naiance mat one
sheet or two might have turned the
scale
Speculation turned on the point
whether the Chronicle had engaged
Maurice's services simply because of
his qualifications for military cor
respondence, or whether his engagement
Indicated that the Chronicle in some
measure espoused his side In the con
troversy with the Prima Minister.
On this question, which may very well
be critical for the Lloyd George Gov
ernment, it Is of Interest to note the
Chronicle's leading article. In part It
reads:
''Lloyd George laid stress on Maurice
not having been present In the Versailles
council chamber when the question of
extendlnr the British line Was discussed.
General Maurice had never claimed that
he was. but ht now makes It plain that
he wgs In the very closest touch with
the council's sittings.
.."Another matter Is the Prims Mln.
Jeter's complaint that General Maurice
deferred his criticism so long, and then
tnem in me newspaper. Lloyd
djtriw did not say, but It was currently
