EUROPEAN VIEWS OF THE CRISIS.

GERMANY SEES SIGNS OF DEFEAT. EFFECT OF THE RUMANIAN CAMPAIGN. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received December 6, 11.30 a.m.) PARIS, December 5. The "Matin" states:—"Mr Lloyd George is exacting, under a threat of resignation, the creation of a War Council invested with full powers. France wishes the new organisation success. AMSTERDAM, December 5. The crisis in England is causing widespread interest in Germany, where it is believed that Mr Lloyd George will lead a Cabinet, including Mr Winston Churchill and Sir Edward Carson. The "Vorwaerts" says: — The Lloyd George conspirators have the upper hand. Our energetic submarine warfare has caused distrust in the capability of the Government, and the Rumanian catastrophe threatens to damage the Entente's prestige more than any other failure of the war. The German cannons before Bucharest are also hitting Mr Asquith and Lord Grey.
