BERLIN, Dec. 9.-Speaking in the
Reichstag today Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg made known Ger
many's position regarding peace
II would be folly for Germany to
make proposals which would not
shorten, but which would lengthen the
duration Of the war. as long as in the
enemies countries the guilt and ignor
ance of statesmen are entangled with
the confusion of public opinion" said
the chancellor.
Continuing the chancellor said,
THE masks must be torn from the
faces of our enemies first. At present
they speak of a war of annihilation
against us and we must consider this
fact theoretically.
Arguments or propositions for
peace now would not advance us and
would not bring the end Of the war
nearer. X our enemies make peace
proposals compatible viii, csrmany's
dignity and safety. we shall always be
ready to discuss them.
"Fully conscious of our unshaken
military success, we decline to assume
responsibility for the continuation OF
the misery that now fills Europe and
the whole world. Nobody can say We
are continuing the war because We
want to conquer this or that country
as a pledge"
The members of the Reichstag
cheered the sentiments voiced by the
chancellor.
Philip Scheidmann. the Socialist
leader, said that Notwithstanding her
great victories. Germany has also
made heavy sacrifices and that the
present moment is an opportune time
for peace talk.
III this war continues" shouted

only victor; Europe will commit sui
