NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Dr. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's anxiously await
ed peace speech in the reichstag to-
Gay has turned out to be an extremely
clever maneuver to throw upon the
allies the delicate task of being the
first to state what they are fighting
for The German chancellor is thus
trying to get the better position for
his country in the eyes Of neutrals by
suggesting that responsibility for con-
tinuing the war rests on the quadruple
entente.
The allies are accused Of being
actuated still by the desire to crush
Germany, which they publicly pro-
claimed at the outbreak of the war.
The chancellor thus intimates that the
Germans are in reality fighting de-
fensive war and it is therefore all the
more necessary that Germany's en-
emies shall be the first to break the
silence concerning an acceptable
basis for compromise.
The speech IS that OF bargainer,
but a bargainer who doesn't know how
much he can get and who wants the
other side to come forth with sug.
gestions first. Nevertheless there Is
evidence in the speech that the
chancellor feels the peace negotia

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

about the future status Of Belgium,
Serbia and Poland.
This in all probability is the reason
for the large attention paid in the adj
dress to the question Of rights Of small
nationalities. The chancellor seems
bent on trying to suggest that since
nobody respects small nationalities,
the peace conference cannot be limit
ed In its method of regulating their
future. e
BY referring to the British admin
istration of India and Egypt and to
the attitude Of the allies toward
Greece, the chancellor challenges
Great Britain to prove how she can
consider herself the champion Of
small nations. The emphasis laid
upon German population of Alsace i'm
plies belief that critical part OF
the peace discussion must relate to
the future ownership of Frances. lost
provinces. The speech throughout Is
not only an able defensive document,
but it's defense has been combined
cleverly with an offensive threat of
IGermanys power to continue the war
as long as her enemies. The speech
does not in itself bring peace any
nearer. 1t will do so. however. If it
fulfills it's purpose of melting the al
, lies to declare what they are fighting
for.
