Berlin. April 5. - Announcing that
Germany had no intention of making

He asserted that the kaiser did not
contemplate any yioa5ion of the Mon

tempt to seize territory on either of tn
American continents.
Germany, declared the imperial chan

marine activities. In this way it wi
fight the British attempt to starve the
central powers. Legitimate rights of
neutral vessels affected by the under
sea boat war would always be given
consideration, he said,
After having reviewed Germany s
victories Hollweg said his country
would never willingly consent to return
Poland or other conquered Russian pro.
vinces to the czar. He contemplate,
the formation after the war of a new
Belgium, in which the rights of Flcmis
speaking people who sprang from Ger
man stock would receive fullest con
sideration.
1t was folly, he asserted, for the o
lies to talk about starving Germany an
Austria into submission. In this co
nection he called attention to the con
ing crops which, he said, were mos
promising.
Right of Self Defence
Hollweg admitted that conditions of
life i'm Germany under the strain OF
war were not easy at present but de-.
clared all classes were bearing up ad-
mirably, particularly the poor In ex
eeuting its starvation program. he
charged Great Britain was making war
