HALDANE DECLARES NO PEACE
POSSIBLE TILL KAISER
IS OVERTHROWN
A. P. A. Sarvioe.
L.ONDON, Dec. 1.—Whatever hope
might have been entertained that the
present peace talk held possibilities
of an early settlement of the Interna
tional struggle were blasted today by
the statement of Viscount Haldane
that ilrituin would not consider peace
until the kaiser and the militarist par
ty were overthrown and it becomes j
possible to treat directly with the Ger
man people.
The declaration of Haldane was made
during tin* course of u public address
lust night and is generally accepted
as voicing the inclinations of the got -
eminent. “Britain will consider no
peace negotiations of any character
the speaker declared," until Emperor
William and the German war party
are thrown out of their positions of
exalted power by the German demo- ,
crate.
The allies u century ago," said Hal
dane, “were quite ready to make peace j
with France but not with Napoleon !
untl the situation is much the same
today, i'nlll wo can deal directly with
the real German people, whom we can
trust and whom we know as sane eon
ributors of many goocT tilings to the
world's civilization, but who have
temporarily yielded their place to
false leaders and false ideas, we don't
care to talk peace."

REMOVAL OF IROOPS TO BALKANS
A. P. A Service.
LONDON, Non. 30.—It Is generally j
accepted here that the further confer- j
ence between Asquith and French re- j
ported from Paris today foreshadows |
the removal of a great force of Brit -
ish troops from the western front to
the Balkans. A hint of such action
is also contained In the fact that there
has been a noticeable gathering of
army transports at several of the coast
ports within the past several days. 1
U is believed that an attempt will be
made t>. transfer the bulk of the fight
ing to the near east while the final
preparations of the Russians are be
ing eonsumated after which the new
Russian army will attempt to drive
: hrough behind the German line of
communication through the Serbian

BELIEVED KAISERS
VIENNA VISIT
DIPLOMATIC
,
-
A. P. A. Service.
PARIS, Dee. 1.—It is generally be- ;
lieved in local diplomatic circles that j
the real object of the kaiser's visit to j
Vienna was to reconcile if possible the j
existing difference and divergent views
of Germany and Austria concerning the
Balkans.
That differences of some nature ex
isted between the imperial govern
ments with regard to the Balkan situa
tion has been known for some time but
their real nature has never been dis
closed. According to reliable advices,
the German emperor made an ineffect
ual attempt to obtain a pledge from
Austria of territorial sacrifices from
Hungary in the hope that an offering
of territory along her western frontier
would insure the co-operation of Rou
mania or assLst in keeping her neutral.
