Admits War at Climax.
The following account of today's
session OF the reichstag was given out
by the Overseas News Agency:
"The reichstag opened this after
noon. President Kaempf, In his intro
ductory speech, stated that the war
in its economic and political as vel
az military aspects, had now reached
a climax. on all fronts there was now
a violent struggle for supremacy.
"He mentioned the arrival OF the
merchant submarines Deutschland ana
Bremen in the United States. IA news
dispatch to Berlin that tug had gorlt
out from New London, Conn. to meet
the Bremen, led to an erroneous repor
that the Bremen had reached Amer.
ica.l
aThe president read telegrams from
the emperors exchanged on the begin.
ming Of the second year Of the war and
with the president Of the Hungarian
parliament at the time OF the fall OF
the Roumania fortress Turtukal. The
speech was applauded."
General Won Wandel, deputy minister
for war, has been dismissed from the
war ministry. according toNan officia
statement given out by thA German
government today.
The chancellor began by outlining
the events yhich led up to the Italian
and Roumanian declarations Of war
He recalled that the German ambass,a.
dor had left home after Italy's decla-
ration Of war against Austria Hungary
and that Germany had announced thai
the italians would find German troops
fighting with their Austro- Hungarian
comrades on the Italian frontier.
State Of War Long Existed.
"Thus a state Of war practically ex.
isted." he continued, "but a formal dec
!aration Of war did not come till later
Italy apparently was afraid Of the fats
of the usual consequences which II
would suffer after the war in regard t
her economic relations with us.
"On the other hand, Rome preferreG
to lay. the blame for the declaration al
our door. But for us there was no rea-
son to play 1taly's game. Our tactics
were justified by the interrupted eff.
forts of the entente powers to cause
Italy to declare war.
''For more than year the italian
government resisted. Finally the meas.
ures which England employs with
equal ruthlessness against neutral:
and her allies were too strong. Italy;s
warfare depends upon English coal
and English money. Finally she had
to give In.
Charges Britain cosresd Italy.
1.-The decision certainly was brought
about by British coercion, altho Ital-
ian hopes in regard to the Balkans
also exercised influence. Italy, as Is
known, desires Balkan territories which
are within the natural sphere Of Greek
interests. s
"In order not to be abandoned Italy
found it necessary to partake in the
expedition OF General Sarrail (the al
lied commander at Saloniki) and this
caused an encounter between Italian
and German troops in Macedonia"
