BELGRADE, January 0 (via Sayville).?
The German impression of the entente's reply to the peace proposals of the central powers was reflected today in a lull in the semi-official Overseas News Agency by Dr. Hammann, until recently director of the intelligence department of the Foreign Office.
This comment was not based on the official text of the entente note, as thus far only the version supplied by the Havas News Agency from Paris has been received.
Dr. Hammann said that consideration by Germany and her allies was a peace offer dated back as far as October. At that time the intention was entertained of making an honest and sincere attempt to prevent further useless bloodshed. Heine asked as to the general impression created by the entente reply, he said:
"If I am to express an opinion in a few words, it is this: Instead of taking place around the peace table, the entente's deliberations took place on a Judge's chair. Apparently the entente forgave nothing that could possibly influence neutrals against us.
"The point of the accusation, however, to which the largest space in allotted in the entente note is 'the martyrdom of Belgium.' But if one desires to pass judgment on the martyrdom of Belgium,' one must speak beforehand regarding 'neutral and loyal Belgium.' and this Belgium had ceased to exist long before the war. I do not want to speak about the documents which..."  We found in Brussels and which have been published.
