GERMANY'S NOTE TO NEUTRALS.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 12. The German Nota. to Neutrals re- iterates that Germany took up arms to defand her existence and says that this sim has now been attained. The Note alleges that the Allies bave departed more and more from their criginal": expressed nims which are now directed towards conquest, and complains that the Allies have not examined Germany's peace offer and have not made counter proposals. It makes a series of al legations against the Allies, referring to Ireland, South Africa and Greece, and accuses them of breaking treaties of ill-treating prisoners in Africa and Russia and of deporting civilians. It endeavours to throw responsibility for the fate of Belgium on Great Britsia, France and Belgium herself and protests against the accusations of German atrocities in Belgium which it describes as calumnies,
