London, Sept. 22.-The following of hcia1 statement issued in Berlin was received here last night by the Mar conf Wireless Telegraph company:
 ''The North German Gazette, the of hcial organ of the German govern nent, commenting on the recent speech from the throne by King George, says:
 If the British government had made every possible effort for the maintenance of the peace of the world that peace would undoubtedly have been preserved. The German Emperor had made such efforts with the Elm peror of Russia and the King of Eng land up to the last moment, but these efforts dfd not meet with any success.
 t' We know today from a report su ubrnitted by the Belgian ambassador in Petrograd to his government on July 30 that Russia attacked us be- cause she had received the positive assurance of the British government that England would take part in a war against Germany

 T have anxiety over the result of the war. God has blessed our arms We have had unexpected good fortune could not have hoped that circum- stances at this stage of the war would have been so favorabIy for the allies
 ''I have certainly expected that the great battles in France would have been fought much further south and that a greater measure of dissertation and oppression would have been in hicted on the gallant people of that country.
 eff we are sure we have time-and I think that the navy can give us time even if this battle is as disastrous ss 1t appears to be triumphant ana if the other battle are sinister, still the British Empire can, if resolution fails not, finally settle this matter as it chooses.
 ''As far as the navy is concerned it cannot fight while the enemy remains in rort- We hope that the navy will have the chance of settling the Ques- ton with the German fleet yet If tEey do not come out and fight in time Of war they will be dug out like rats out of ho1e.'

These attract interest and in the minds of some people are inportant from the fact that. Originating sirnuI- taneously at wi de1y distant points, they seem more or less to confirm each other One unsubstantiated report from Antwerp to the effect that Gen eraI Won Kluck, the commander of the German right wing, has removed his headquarters back to Mons, com plete these rumors.
 The latest official communication from Paris even more laconic than usual, declares that the allies are making progress between Rheims and the Argonne, although the fighting yesterday was less violent A wound ed officer who has returned to Paris from the front, has supplemented the official news with the declaration that the allies, on their left, have advanced seven miles.

 Military experts here believe that the Germans intend to rage the entire city of Rheims.
