BERLIN, Dec. 12.-Great throngs
about the reichstag marked the Ger
man public's interest today in what
was expected to be the most important
meeting of that body since the start of
the war.
Expectancy was keyed to the highest
pitch as to what message Imperial
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg had
to deliver.
It was announced semi-officially the
address would be of world interest.
Newspapers have been indulging in
the liveliest speculation as to what an
nouncement the chancellor will make.
The public's interest was vouchsafed
in an unprecedented demand for tick
cts Of admission to the galleries and
by great crowds that thronged the
streets around the building wherein
the session was to be held.
The chancellor, it was announced,
expected to begin his address immed-

and to occupy not more than half
hour. After that the session will ad-
journ at once
Bethmann- -Hollweg's address will re-

Dec 12.)-Germany's campaign in Ru.
mania has only started. Every Ger.
man soldier is fitted with snow shoes
for the winter campaign-and all
wagons are so devised that they can
be transformed into sieds. Favored
by ideal weather, the forces Of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen and General
Won Falkenhayn have acquired such
momentum with the fall of Bucharest,
that they will surge on farther into
Rumania. Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen. by Bucharest's fall, is in a
position to swing masses of men and
artillery north, south, east and west,
with clear lines Of communication.
The complete decentralization Of the
Rumanian forces has permitted Won
Mackensen's troops to ADVANCE with
insignificant losses.

for their lives this winter-instead OF

declared.

colonial empire in Asia Minor and they
are holding in check every movement
to break through the German defences.
1t would be therefore, greatly to Ger
many's advantage if a peace could be
secured on this basis.
Nevertheless, Germany's losses in
man power are becoming constantly
much greater than the losses OF any
one of their principal antagonists. At
the same time the British government
has Just undergone reconstruction;
and France too, is evolving scheme
for greater efficiency. Under these
conditions, while Germany is not over
thrown, the German militarists may
vel, feel that the future developments
OF the war cannot hold out for Ger
manv any better prospect than the
ceaseless killing of proportionately
more Germans than Frenchmen or
Englishmen.
GERMANY must make large conces-
sions to secure peace at present-far
larger than are indicated by the war
boun ndaries On the map. But, whatever
Germany proposes as basis for peace,
in her first declaration, probably VIII

tude doubtless will be the dehnite
statement of tentative peace terms.
