WESTERN FRONT.
THE VERSAILLES COUNCIL. LONDON, Feb.. 3. The Press Bureau states:—The Supreme War Council at Versailles carefully considered yon Hertling and yon Czernin's speeches, but were unable to find an approximation to the moderate conditions laid down by the Allies. This conviction was deepened by the contrast between the Central Powers' idealistics at Brest Litovsk and the plans of conquest and spoliation now openly disclosed. The Supreme War Council therefore decided that the Allies' immediate .task is the .vigorous prosecution of the war until a change in the enemy's temper'justifies the hope of peace on terms which do not involve the abandonment of freedom and justice in the face of aggressive and unrepentant militarism. ■ The Council : secured complete agreement on all questions, both in policy measures and the execution thereof.
