There are 10000 troops of the allies

months they will be thrown into the

Looking into the future, the military

German ChanceIIor'S
Speech Is Upheld by
All Reichstag Parties

BERLIN. December 10.-The entire
nation is discussing the speech in the
reichstag made by Imperial Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hol1weg, in which he
declared the allies must first propose
peace and the German nation must
have definite assurance. in any peace,
that war never will return. Interest
also centers in the attitude of the So
cialist party as reflected IN speeches Of
leaders following the statement Of the
governments policy by the imperial
chancellor
Deputy Otto Landsberg, a socialist
democrat. after the imperial chancellor
had answered the socialist interpella-
ton of peace, expressed approval of the
= chancellor's address as reasona Bile
invitation to the entente allies to mi
tiate peace negotiations in which Ger
many was willing to join.
Request Not Based on Anxiety.
Herr Landsberg declared that the So
cialist appeal for peace was based on
no anxiety about the outcome of the
war. He said he shared DR.. Won Beth
mann -Hollweg's opinion that the war
has been forced on Germany. and that
guarantees were necessary to prevent
q repetition. No true German, he as
serted, was DESTROYS of ending the war
on any other terms.
He repeated the declaration made ear
Her in the day by DIR. Philip Scheide-
mann. socialist. that the socialists never
would consider a peace involving the
retrocession of Alsace-Lorraine.
Deputy Landsberg said that with Pre-.
uier Asquith Of Great Brita n, and Pre-
mier BRAND of France both demanding
the destruction Of Prussian militarisnl,
which was equivalent to the destruction
Of a strong Germany. he could under
stand the chancellor's attitude in his
speech and was pleased that DR.. Won
demanded the destruction of Russian and
French militarism or British "mar;neisna'
which could render peace impossible. Re-
garding the acquisition of territory the
deputy expressed high satisfaction that
the chancellor had mare no mention Of
annexation.
Honorable Peace Desired.
The chancellor repeatedly has desig-
mated the occupied territories as re-
demption pledges" he said. and has
said that the statesmen who must hold
out hopes to their countrymen Of a
better future speak Of the destruction
of German militarism and the taking
away of German territory. but the
statesman whose weapons fortunately
are crowned with success declares him
