AT THIS TIE IT Rf ALLIES " (By EJ Kn.) LONDON, June 17. Although offi cial expression cannot be procured, I'm authoriatlvely informed that ths allies, especially Great Britain, would regard German peace overtures at the present as premature. Great Britain is determined to continue the war, at least unttL Germany Is driven tack upon her own. territory. Tho peace talk reaching the United States has not originated in London or oth er capitals of the allied powers. It is firmly believed here that Germany has reached, or already passed, her highest offensive., efficiency, whilo England, is bu approaching this height. .Military authorities agree the final verdict will be won. not by brilliant dashes, but by endurance and unlim ited resources. England wishes to demonstrate taat her citizen army, organized by the enlistment of volun teers, can ce with "Grman mili tarism." Peace at 'a present t;Sne, no mat ter how satisfactory to the allies, would leavvtha questlosaof the worth, of her "dctnocratic arru" In doubt.
