(ierinans Ban Peace Talk
LONDON, Jan. 29.—According to
Reuter’s Amsterdam correspondent,
the Rhineland members of the Ger
man central party have declared at a
meeting that there must be no more
peace talk, but “we must extort the
peace which the enemy would not
negotiate.”
The dispatch quotes the Vorwaerta
as saying that the entente reply is
far from being a peace ofTera nd that
it is instead a new declaration of
war with boundless war aims."
