WASHINGTON, November 25.-The follow
ing is an extract froE King Williams speech
to the North German Parliament:
The government is, however, compelled,
with regret, to express the conviction that
peace between these two great neighboring
people, upon the continuance of which they
a. $oJ 1ocS hon civ he
imperiled by the remembrance which this
war will leave in France when, by the re-
eovery of her own strength, or by the alli-
ance with other powers, she shall feel her
self strong enough TO renew the struggle.
The conditions upon which allied gov
ernments would conclude peace have been
publicly discussed. 1t is necessary that
they should be commensurate with the
greatness of the sacrifice laid upon our
country by this war, which, though under
taken without any reason, was approved by
the whole French nation. 1t is, above all
things, necessary that they should establish
safe frontier for Germany against the con-
tinuance by future rulers of France OF de-
sire for conquest.
The confederate governments feel that
they can rely on the North German Parlia-
mcnt not refusing the means still required
for the attainment of these objects. They
are convinced that now, when it is ques-
| ton Of rendering secure the policy OF con-
quest which has been pursued for so many
hundred years, that this frontier should be
| settled, SO as to partly redress the results
OF the unfortunate wars which Germany,
at a period of internal dissensions, was
forced to wage by France. 1t is at the same
| time necessary thac our South German
| brethren be freed from the threatening po-
| sition which France acquired by former
wars.
The results which have been achieved are
before you. The governments expect to
| meet from YOU the same patriotism and de.
votion which they have already experienced
when they had to undertake the now
| achieved successes. 1t is their most earnest
wish that it may be possible to refrain from
, using all these means.
