EVASIONS.

London, January 19th, The Greek reply to the Allies' ultima tum evades the demand for apologies to the Allied Ministers and the public salutes to the Allieu flage, in connection with the events of December 1st, sad nieo ignores the demand for the removal of the officer responsible for the order given on that date. Furthermore, the release of those arrested is not dealt with in socordance with the spirit of the Allied demand for immediate liberation.

The New Fork Times :- If Germany has the effrontery to say that the terma are unjust tho judgment of the whole world will be against her. It is for Germany to say whether there is to be peace now If she continues to fight, her defont is inevitable and the final terms will be harder.

The American, a pro-German paper, says:- If the Allies insist upon their demands there will not be peace until one side conquers or both are exhausted. COMMENTS OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

SUGGESTION FROM PARIS.

PARIS, January 13th.

A Parliamentary group has passed a resolution urging the appointment of an inter-Allied General Staff which could ad- vise the Govertiments upon the direction of the war. The appointment of a Com- mander-in-Chief by common consent is also suggested. He would be assisted by the inter-Allied staff and could, if neces sary, amalgamate uiuerent troops.

The Daily News says that nothing could be better for the Allies than that neutrals should be able to compare the Entente's and Germany's Notes simui- taneously. The next diplomatic step in doubtful but it is already a material advance to have approached within reasonable distance of negotiation,
