His real purpose will be to preserve the Hohenzollern dynasty and the imperial bureaucracy.

The prevailing English judgment is that, if Germany be permitted to stop hostilities, the war will have accomplished nothing.

There is a determination here to destroy utterly the German bureaucracy, and Englishmen are prepared to sacrifice themselves to any extent in men and money.

The preparations that are being made here are for a long war; as I read the disposition and the character of Englishmen they will not stop until they have accomplished their purpose.

There is a general expression of hope in this country that neither the American Government nor the public opinion of our country will look upon any suggestion for peace as a serious one which does not aim, first of all, at the absolute destruction of the German bureaucracy.
From such facts as I can obtain, it seems clear to me that the opinion of Europe--excluding of course, Germany--is rapidly solidifying into a severe condemnation of the German Empire.
