 Name Is Schwind.

/ The president said 1t was impossible
to separate business and life. He de-
clared that the two were inseparable.
The history of business IN the United

history of the nation.
The need Of ships to carry the COM

Since the war Of 1912. the United

relations with Austria Hungary

urgent demands of the United
States to Vienna for disavowal
of the sinking OF the Ancona and
reparation are complied with.
Furthermore, 1t was stated today
upon high authority. the United

communication. Austria's delay in
submitting answers submitted to
Baron Burrian, minister of foreign

ease the situation.
The foreign Office, however, did
inform Ambassador Penfield it. de-
sired more time to make reply, but
American officials are unable to
understand why it is impossible for
the Austrian government to secure
the information, desired.
1t is pointed ont that if the COM

sunk the Ancona had taken his

British Press Sees No Yield
ing in German Chan
cellor's Speech.
GERMANY PICTURED
AS ON DEFENSIVE
London Newspapers Score Won Beth
mann HolIwes's Defense Of Ger
nrany's War PoIiey-SociaIist Lead
ers Acquiesce in chanoeIlor's
Declaration as an Invitation to Allies
to Bid For Peace.

London, Dec. 10.-The speech OF the
German chancellor. DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. before the reichstag yester-
day, is commented on by London
papers today
The chancellors utterances are de-
scribed as "colorless and perfunctory,'
and as attempting to present Germany
as waging a purely defensive war.
All the newspapers characterize as
fallacious the chancellor's argument in
regard to the analogy between Brit
ish proceedings in Greece and the Ger
man invasion Of Belgium.
Peace Remote.
The Evening Standard says DR.. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg's speech disposes
of the ideg that Germany intends to
ask for peace. This newspaper con-
siders the possibility of peace as more
remote at this moment than at any
other time since the war began. 1t
contends that the weakening OF Ger
many's zeal viii merely lead to an un-
pleasant surprise in the spring, when
Germany hopes to surpass her previous
achievements.
The object of the reichstag debate,
the Standard continues, is to stimulate
a national spirit which will make these
achievements possible
Burden Of Conflict Still Evident.
The Pail Mall Gazette thinks the es-
sence Of the speech lies in it's commits
sion. It says: 80 Il
while Germany has beaten every
body, according to the chancellor, and
her calculations show no flaw and no
uncertain factors neither does the
burden of the conflict seem to dimin-
isil.'5 s a @ Z
e Comn entfng On the sclun,sy attempt
to- charge the allies with, violence
against neutral powers, the Pail Mall
Gazette remarks:
s",rhe chancellor omits from the COM
parison details which would somewhat
compromise the argument, such as the
fact that the Greek government in
vited the allied armies on its soil and
then made preparations for delivering
a streacherous attack II circumstances
would seem to make that rprobable The
parallel is an admirable measure Of the
intellectual contempt entertained by
the Germany. hierarchy for pseudo
representative institutions, before which
it condescends to air it's omnipotence
and infallibility."
