Chancellor Declares.

Berlin.-"n our enemies make peace
proposals compatible with Germany's
dignity and safety, then we shall al.
ways be ready to discuss them," said
the Imperial Chancellor, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, in addressing the
Reichstag.
The Chancellor made it clear that in
his opinion it would be folly for Ger.
many to propose peace "as long as in
the countries of our enemies the guilt
and Ignorance Of statesmen are entan.
gled with confusion of public opinion"
Conscious of her military successes,
the Chancellor said, Germany declines
responsibility for a further continue
tion of the war. Germany, he de-
clared, could not be charged with the
purpose Of fighting on to make fur.
ther cOnQuests.
Socialist Sought Statement.
The address of DR.. Won Bethmann.
Hollweg. which has been awaited with
extraordinary interest. was made in re.
sponse to the Socialist Interpolation:
''ls the Imperial Chancellor ready to
give information as TO the conditions
under which he would be willing TO
enter into peace negotiationsT In his
, reply, he said:
As long as in the countries Of our
enemies the guilt and ignorance OF
| statesmen are entangled with con.
fusion Of public opinion, II would be
folly for Germany to make peace pro-
pOsals, which would not shorten, but
would lengthen the duration of the
war. First the masks must be torn
from their faces.
AT present they speak Of a war OF
annihiliatiOn against Us. We have to
take this fact into account. Theoreti-
cal arguments for peace or proposals
OF peace will not advance US, will not
bring the end nearer.
IF our enemies make peace pro
posals compatible with Germany's dig
nifty and safety. then we shall always
be ready to discuss them. Fully con-
scious Of our mistaken military sue.
cesses. we decline responsibility for
continuation Of the misery which now
nils Europe and the whole world. No
one can say that we continue the war
because we still desire to conquer this
or that country as a guarantee"
In these words the Chancellor, with
impassioned force, stated the position
OF the German Government on the
question of peace. His remarks were
cheered with great enthusiasm.
Parties Approve His stand.
After Chancellor Won Bethmann
Hollweg had made his reply TO the SO
cialist Interpolation regarding peace
the other parties made a joint declara
ton approving the Chancellor's utter
anees and indorsing the view that II
the condition OF peace made after th'
war there must be guarantees for Ger
many's safety, even II this implies an
nexation OF territory.

Peace Proclamation.

Peace on earth, good will to men,
is fundamental and imperative in
every civilization that calls itself
Christian. War is a confession of
weakness, at best a necessary evil. 1t
is not yet thing of the past because
brute instincts that should be regu-
lated and directed are allowed to
runriot. War is a destroyer; peace
is a builder. There has never been
war in which selfishness was not
the direct Or indirect cause. 1t there
fore follows that armament does not
prevent war; standing armies and
great navies do not prevent war.
Preparation suggests war. Teach
men the arts of peace, train men in
I the arts of peace, and war will dis
appear from the face of the earth.
Temper. unregulated, is the vice of
vices. 1t takes more courage to
meet the requirements of peace than
war. Few men are great enough to
patient. Most men find it easy to
be ugly, hateful and devilish.
This year of all years in the his
tory Of the world commands us to
be men, to be great in the arts of
peace, to know the sacredness of
life. War means the destruction Of
fatherhood and motherhood; the de-
struction Of home; the perpetuation
of poverty; hell on earth.
We now spend $500, 900, 900 a year
on Preparedness for war Isn't
this the time to spend one per cent.
of this amount on the preparedness
for peace?
Therefore, /, Woodbridge ~ Fer
ris, ask that the people of Michigan
set apart Tuesday, May eighteenth,
as Peace Day. Let the Grand Army
of the Republic, the Spanish-Ameri-
can War Veterans, the Woman's Re-
lief Corps, the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the Sunday
schools, the Churches, the Fraternal
organizations and the people gener-
ally. hold such exercises as will stir
the emotions of love and good will
towards all men.
Given under my hand and the
great Seal of the State, this thirtieth
day of April, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and fif-
teen, and of the Commonwealth the
seventy-ninth.
