BERLIN. April 5 Cby wireless to
Sayville) the Imperial chan
cellor, DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollwe
arose today to deliver his pronounce
ment on the attitude of Germany with
respect TO the war. the reichstag pre-
sented the aspect OF former great
days when some question of great ma
uonal import was to be discussed. All
the members were present and the gal.
leries were crowded.
Among the foreign diplomats were
the American ambassador. James w
Gerard; the Argentine minister, Luis
Molina, and the Dutch minister. Baron
Gievers. and the Greek minister. y. G.
Theotky
hush OF expectancy was upon the
house when the chancellor began, but
after his Introductory words he was
interrupted by an outburst OF applause
and throughout his long speech, which
was notable one. he was listened TO
with rapt attention. and was frequent
ly greeted with cheers.
The chancellor reviewed the mill
tary situation and showed tha,
throughout all the fighting Germany's
progress had been steady and certain
He declared that Germany was at war
only 10 preserve her existence and
10 hold back her enemies from the
Germ an frontiers.
Germany's Answer
Germany had been threatened. ne
said, with annihilation, with partition
Of her realm. with destruction OF her
essential political and economic
forces. and the answer TO any sug-
gestion OF peace on the basis OF de
struction Of Prussian military power
was-the German sword.
Germany had no aggressive aims
against the American continent and
she was not fighting for new terri
tory. The new Europe which would
arise out Of the war. he said. can
not resemble the past Whatever II
might be. IL must be for the nations
that inhabit it-a land OF peaceful
labor The peace which shall end
this war shall b. a lasting peace"
said the chancellor
One OF the most important OF the
imperial chancellors utterances had
TO do with Belgium. Germany would
never consent that Belgium should
serve as a military or economic forti-
fication against her: or that she
should be a vassal Of France and
Great Britain. lie gave assurances
that the BelPians would be permitted
10 work out the destiny correspond
ing 10 their natural life. based on
their native tongue Though the re-
membrance OF the war would stiII
echo in Belgium. Germany would not
allow this TO be a new source OF war
