authority for the statement that &C.
cording to reliable private informa-
ton, the longing for peace is general
in France st.,
my plea for a statement Of peace

by no means be construed as a sign
of lack Of strength" said the socialist
leader. But the present war is bring

..cheidemann, however, assailed the
idea that it Is possible to starve Ger
many. Recent census figures, he said,
showed 2O,000O00 swine and 55,000,-
900 Kilograms of potatoes in Germany,
enough food, he said, to supply the
entire empire for a long time.
! Scheidemann quoted Kaiser Wilhelm
as saying that this is no war for con-
quest.
Therefore" said the socialist
leader, IT have asked the chancellor
to state possible conditions of peace"

that Germany is seking world leader

to be the equal of other nations. Tho

said, FIRST because this expression is
wrong and second because this affair
concerns nobody but the Germans

the French to continue to desire to
