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
