The German chanceIIor's Address

The answer of the German chancellor, Bethmann- -Howeg, to interpolation by social member the reichstag, concerning terms of peace which Germany entertain is likely put end all peace rumOrs for some time to come. The answer reduced it's lowest terms that the hour for peace has struck. The chancellor may had in mind the effect of speech upon the people Germany but tt evidently intended rather for the the allies who been buoyod up only by reports of German distress and the reiterated assertions of their gov ernments that the allies conquer the end.
 The chancellor makes the point that far they have everywhere been defeated that the soil of the enemies is not only occupied by German armies but that German civil governments have brought order in the conquered provinces that normal conditions have been restored Bel gum and that Poland and Courland better served than they under Russian domination.
 The speech was designed to disatuse the minds the people of the allied countries that Germany is suffering Of starvaton; that it is short of supplies that the of attritcn has affected the German armies point is made of the fact that Germany has yet mobilized. France has done to the extent of robbing both cradle and the grave. While France has been obliged to call to the colors the youth of the class of years hence and has of ages the trenches, Ger has in the field over the age of forty five and yet called out the class of 1916
  pIete diplomatic military defeat of the allies in the Balkans and the junction of the Central powers with Turkey presenting a united, impreg- nable and irresistible front to the enemy in that part of the world whence vital blow may be de- livered at British interests in the orient.
 Plainly, the purpose of the speech was to compel the allied countries to show their people that they were accomplishing something instead trying content them with the reiterated declaration that a new phase of the about to be entered- when the abandoned phase had been one of disappointment and disaster.
 There in the address the almost inseparable allusiOn to the co-partnership with God. Yet be- tween the lines find that the interpretation to be given by the people the enemies countries is that they place upon declarations of their governments that since destiny' and right their side they must eventually win for destiny and right count against the side with the heaviest battalions"
 The speech also designed for world con- sumption It intended to absove Germany from blame for the further prolongaton of the frightful struggle and 70 place the onus on the guilt and ignorance of the allies
 The immediate effect of the speech will cer- tainy be to silence all peace runners and to relieve the belligerents of both sides from neutral peace movements which have been declared to be irritating
