The con-espoaident points out tihat nothing buifc complete surrender of the Central BoAvei-8 will be consider-j ed by the> Allies. 'When Bulgaria wanted an armistice, the Allies accepted the proposal on terms wihich aanounted to Bulgaria's uncondition-' al surrender. This established a precedent for the method oi dealing with the otiher peace moves. If Germany and Austria are willing to surrender on the Allies' terms, it is possible 'the war ipa-y Be brought •to an early close.'. While high officials' would not venture an opinion in the absence of the teact of MaximiHan's speech, it was made, clear that if the Central Powers want peace before their territory is invaded and laid waste they must victoriously surrender. Miany strong.men in Washington, arid 'the.. Allies', caipit&tev■? are .opposed to suspending Eostiilitieb I .■joao, any terms, even if named by the Allies, but want to push ,the war across the enemy frontiers,., and administer punishment; for thie caimesß. comirditted by the Genmains and their associates in v 'the,,war.. ;■,■..■•:„•■■•,"■ :'■< 1: :^ ;';: . ■'■ ./■■-. .
