; on the Russo-German front. Or ]
- the subject of peace the correspon
dent quotes the marshal in parts
as follows:
"At present the enemy won’t
j make peace. They are not ye: •
' weakened enough. We must, there-1

Field Marshal Hindenburg criti- ;
died the French demands, partic- >
ularly that relating to Alsace-Lor ;
nine.
“If they want it,” he said, “they i
should come and get it.
“The British” he continued, “ap- j
*>ear also to have decided to con >
tinue the war. It Is true that re
ports come from India that ought j
Ao dampen the British for lust for ]
war somewhat, but one must wait j
‘and see whether these reports are
her Achilles tendon; I am not re-,
ferring alone to India.
“In Russia also the emperor and ]
government plainly desire the con-1
tinuation of the war. The most
remarkable thing is all these na
t-ens do not see that they are only
sacrificing themselves for Great
Britain. It does not look like peace
and so Genaany - cannot sheat her
