williams Address to the German Diet
The Condition of Par;s-Initary
Operations.
LONDON, November 20.

A Tribune special from st. Petersburg says Rus
sia Is unprepared for war and cannot be prepared
before spring. The ST. Petersburg Gazette says
Russia cannot withdraw her declaration mol
leave 1t without practical consequences. Such 9
proposition from the English press only compelt
her to pursue more actively q realization or the
problem set beflre her. No one In Russia d esires
war, but oil classes would consent to war rather
than humilating retracton under threats.
Dispatches to private parties say that Gertscha
kof's answer does not withdraw the claims, but
repeats the reference to the violations of the
treaty. The morning papers say the ministry
wills stand firm: The feeling in stocks is much
improved.
The Army and Navy Gazette to-day under.
stands that RussIa has new weapon superior to
any rifle In existence.

cally regarding Pars9

and must be accomplished, sooner or later, to
satisfy the folks at home Respecting the time

ion is widely astray. Had my counsel been fol-
lowed, Paris would have been attacked long
ago.
Question. Were your counsels overruledf
| Answer After the victorious armies OF We.sen'

were marching toward Chalons Won MUttke de-
clded they should come up and aid In the annihi-
laton Of the army which 30 hurriedly abandoned

On Paris, then unprepared for siege, and to
take at least cut 1t on from the rest OF France
which should then be overrun as quickly as posi-
BILE. When the department OF theSelne-et-oise
was reached it was found hard nut to crack.
First we determined upon bombardment from
secret park Of artillery ut Vile Coubley, but now
came new disagreements. The King. advised by
Molske, determined to let famine reduce the capi-
tai, trusting that Partisan dlscords would hasten
capltulatlon.
Question. This plan was universally supposed
to be your own.

are decided. The whole plan is now changed, for
which am held responsible Ihave most ardent
ly desired and strenuousy urged the oomoard'
ment Of Paris.
Question. Bnt you have the satisfaction OF nav
ing accomplished the undcatlon Of Germany.
Anwer. All attribute nothing aud the par
tial failure OF German unity to the delay results
from these opposing schemes. Had my ADVICE
been followed, Bavaria and Wurtemourg would
have been carried on the wave which swept over
Germany, and the grand scheme OF United
Fatherland and Deutscher Kaiser w:ud have be.
come reality Instead Of q half:hearted con1ede'
ration about TO be born. For me, the great oo)ect
of the war never lay on this side OF the Rhine but
on the side whereI meant should exist one great
country, one great people and one great empire.
