May' 6. "The as sertion of Lord Robert Cecil that Germany will undertake a 'peace of fensive if she does' not succeed in overcoming the allies, is the latest means whereby: entente .statesmen are seeking to stimulate the war ar dor of -their people, whose belief in the justice of their own cause is vanishing. - says Baron von , dero Btfsche-lfaddcnhausen German un der, secretary for foreign affairs, in an 'interview .published in Berlin newspapers in reply to the statement of the British minister of blockade ; In the statement Lord Rober saidr the " failure of Germany's "knockout offensive" on the western front would result in a great peace offensive.; In 113 opinion.. "Let the British people deal with such maneuvers as they will, says the German 'under secretary. . "The sword first has to speak. Our task Is to break with hard pteel our ene mies' destructive aims against our existence and our integrity. We have attained gigantic successes." Tl! baron, who was formerly sec retary of the German embassy -at Washington- continued. "It Is known that the successes of the Ger man arms in the west which' have not by any means come to an end, have made a tremendous impression In, entente countries. Wide circles in Great Britain perceive, that the entente, frequently missed the psych. ological moment for the conclusion of peace. "The governments of, the western powers" are blamed- because, as is well known, that the secret treaties concluded by them prove. they have set up, Imperialistic alms of conquest for the sake of which they want to continue the . war until they have completely drafted their opponents."
