GERMAN COLONIES
SENTIMENT OF SOUTH AFRICA \ _____ (Rcc. January 19, 9.30 p.m.) - ( London, January 18. There are strong comments in South' Africa that no reference was made to German colonies in tlio Allies' reply to President Wilson. It is understood that the question will he decided at the Imperial Conference. , The % "Cape Times" says: "If the omission" is due to British disinterestedness and -self-effacement, it is mere unctuous balderdash. The Dominions will consent to restoration only if the war situation leaves .practically no alternative. Even then' their consent would be reluctant. The war was thrust upon us, and it would bo folly to gratuitously .re-establish the t German menace where the war has enabled us to destroy it." —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
