INTEREST CENTERS
IN GERMANS' REPLY
Bolsheviki Test of Annexation
Attitude Throws Country Into
Political Turmoil.
BANANAS DONATED FOR
POOR OF MARYLAND
Boston, Jan. 8. Two million ripe
bananas were offered by the United
Fruit company to the food adminis
tration of Maryland for distribution
among the poor. The company wired
Food Administrator Hoover ' that the
arrival at Baltimore of a steamer car
rying the fruit had been delayed a
week by Ice in Chesapeake bay and
the bananas had become unsalable
through, regular channels.
London. Jan. 8. A reply from the
central powers to the statement of
British war aims made by Premier
Lloyd George Saturday is awaited here
with the greatest interest. It is be
lieved they cannot decline to reply in
some form and to make the reply more
straightforward and definite than any
previous statement of their aims.
But if the German papers correctly
mirror the situation there, the test
which the bolsheviki have made of
Germany's attitude toward the prin
ciple of no annexations has thrown
Germany Into political turmoil. Ad
vices from the capitals of neutral
countries bordering on Germany show
that the opinion prevalent there is that
one of the most severe national crises
in the history of Germany is develop
ing as a result of the difference of
views between the militarist and non
militarist leaders regarding the gov
ernment's attitude toward Russia.

Chattanooga People Tell How:
Von Ludendorf, as leader of the former
group, actually has gone so far as to
threaten the resignation of himself and
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg if
further countenance is given even to
such views as those advanced by man
of the type of Dr. Von Kuehlmann and
Count Czernin, the German and Aus
trian foreign ministers.
At the same time the view of Von
Kuehlmann and Czernin fall to satisfy
the German socialists, who regard
their middle-of-the-road policy as
tricky and who also are determined
that the spirit of the reichstag reso
lution must be followed and without
qualification or reserve.
Neutral observers declare that the
gap between the German parties sud
denly has becomo a chasm so wide
that there is little hope of bridging it
and that the development of an inter
nal crisis of serious proportions seems
Inevitable.
Ent.nte United in Aims.
On the other hand It Is pointed out
that the various parties In entente
countries never appeared so completely
united as in their support of the war
aims formulated by Premier Lloyd
George.
