GERMAN CHANCELLOR TALKS OF THE "UNSCRUPULoUS STAND"
 TAKEN BY ENGLAND.
Says That Belgium Women Cut the Threats of Soldiers Whom They Had Chartered in Their Homes While They Were Sleeping.

New York, Oct. 3.--Dr. Von Berth mann-IiOllweg the German Chancellor early in September made formal statement to the Associated Press The existence of the statement was known but it failed to reach America by either mail or cable. and It's text has become available Through a copy of tie North German Gazette, just re. ceived here. The Chancellor's state ment follows:
 General Headquarters, Sept 2.
 q do not know what is thought of this war in America. assume -lere have been published in America the telegrams exchanged between the German Emperor, the Emperor of Russia and the King of England, con, taining the history of the events that preceded the outbreak of the war and which bears irrefutable testimony of now the Emperor until the last mo- ment strove hard to preserve the peace.
 These efforts had to be futile, as Russia under all circumstances had resolved upon war, and as England, which for decades had encouraged the anti-German nationalism in Russia and France did not avail herself of the splendid opportunity offered her to prove her often emphasized love of peace, otherwise the war between Germany and France and England could have been averted.
 "When once the archives are open ed the world will learn how often Ger many extended to England her friend ly hand, but England did not desire the friendship of Germany. Jealous of the development of Germany and feeling that by German efficiency and German industry she has been sur passed in some fields she had the de- sire to crush Germany by brute force, as she in former times subdued Spain, Holland and France. She believed the moment had arrived and there Belgium gave her welcome preteXt to take part in the war.
 Germany, however, was forced to enter Belgium because she had to forestall the planned French advance and Belgium only awaited this ad- vance to join France. That only a pretext was involved so far as Eng land is concerned is proven by the fact that already on the afternoon of Augusta, that is, prior to the viola tion of Belgimu neutrality by Ger many, Sir Edward Grey assured the French ambassador internationally of the help of England in case the German fleet attacked the French coast
 Moral scruple, however, the Eng fish policy does not know. And thus the English people who always posed as the protagonist of Freedom and Right has allied itself with Russia, the representative of the most terrible barbarism, a country that knows no spiritual or no religious freedom, that tramples upon the freedom of peoples as well as of individuals. Already England is beginning to recognize that she has made mistake in her calculations, and that Germany will master here enemies. She is there. fore trying by the pettiest means to lnJnre Germany as much as possible in her commerce and colonies, by in- stigating Japan, regardless of the consequences to the cultural com munity of the white race, to a pillag, ing expedition against Kiaou4Chau and leading the negroes in Africa to fight against the Germans in the colonies.
 Having strangled the news service of Germany to the whole world and having opened the campaign against us with falsehood, England will tell your countrymen that the German troops burned down Belgian villages and cities but will pass over in silence the fact that Belgian girls gouged out the eyes of defenseless wounded. Of ttcials of Belgian cities have inVteu our officers to dinner and shot and killed them across the table, Con- trary to all international law the whole civilian population of Belgium was called out and after having at first shown friendliness, carried on in the rear of our troops a terrible war fare with concealed weapons.
 Belgian women cut the taroats of soldiers whom they had quartered in their homes while they were sleeping. England also will say nothing of the dunn dunn bullets which are being used by the English and French despite all conventions and their hypocritical proclamations of humanity, which can be seen here in their original packing as they were found on French and English prisoners of war.
 "The Emperor has authorized me to say all this and to state that he has full confidence in the sense of justice of the American people which will not allow itself to be deceived through
