INTERVIEW WITH VON HINDENBURG
BIG BLOW TO BE STRUCK IN THE WEST New York, December 11. Karl von Weigand, in the "New Tork World," publishes an interview which he has had with Field-Marshal von Hindenburg, who reviews the fighting, and claims, that Germany is in a, strong position. He does not refer to Verdun, but says that Germany, is preparing a big blow on the West front in the spring. He admits that the Germans at the Somme were inferior to the Allios in artillery, but contends that the position is changing. "The Entente's superiority numerically is not sufficient to .protect the smaller States."
Von Weigand asked: "What of the prospects for peace?" Von Hindenburg: "Ask. .the other side."
Von Weigand: "Am I to. understand you are ready for peace?" Von Hindenburg: "When wo have impressed our will on the Entente; when the Entente realise that they cannot crush Germany, and agree to Germany's integrity being preserved, and admit her equal rights with the other nations in world trade."
Von Weigand says that Hindenburg and the Kaiser and their staff are in a secluded position on a large estate.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
