The fact is that the efforts of the

BERLIN, (Via Amsterdam to Lon

lister, General Adolf Wild Won Hohen-
born. has made the following state
ment in the reichstag:
Il refrain from making any extend
ed statement to you on the military
situation as the daily reports from
headquarters enable the nation to fol-
low the satisfactory developments of
military affairs on all the fronts. Our
army reports are phrased with miliH
tary brevity but, in contrast with
those Of our enemies. they are always
true
"A victorious country has no need
to make excuses. That we have been
victorious a glance at the map shows
This our enemies also know, though
they DO not admit it. That we shall
be victorious throughout until the
glorious end is guaranteed by the he
roism of the army, the united will of
the people, the moral strength of the
nation and an abundance of all things
necessary to carry on the war"
Speaking of the Nerdun offensive,
The war minister said:
"These are not, as our enemies pre-
tend to believe, the last efforts of an
exhausted nation but the hammer
blows of a strong unconquerable peo-
pie provided with sufficient human
deserves and all necessary means of
backing up the hammer blows, which
will be repeated until our adversaries
are weary. To attain our aim l have
set to work with all my skill. A hun
dred meters of trenches have more
value for me than the finest speeches.
This war will not be terminated by
speeches about victory, but by strong

HER OWN TERMS
Charges German Imperial
Chancellor With Misquot-
ing His Language and Dis
torting Its Obvious Mean
ing and Intention
Republican A p. Leased WireJ


LONDON, April 10.-On the occasion
of government reception to visiting
diplomats at Lancaster house tonight,
Premier Asquith took occasion to reply
to the speech recently delivered in the
reichstag by the imperial German
chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann- Hollweg
Those present included Earl Kitch-
ener, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir
Edward Grey, j. Austen Chamberlain.
Sir Walter Runciman, Lewis Harcourt,
Viscount Bryce A. j. Balfour, and Lord
Robert Cecil The premier in propos-
ing the toast, Our Guests" referred
to Won Bethmann Hollweg's claim to
readiness on the part of Germany to
negotiate peace, and said:
THE German chancellor wants us to
assume the attitude of a defeated to
a victorious adversary. But we are not
defeated and we are not going to be
defeated"
Reiterating that the ententes would
make peace on their own terms, Mr..
Asquith proceeded
THE chancellor first misquotes my
language. then proceeds to distort its
Britain and France entered the war not
to strangle Germany or wipe her off
the map of Europe; not to destroy or
mutilate her national life: certainly
not to interfere with, to use the chan
cellors language, the free exercise of
her peaceful endeaVOrs.
LAS result of the war, we intend
to establish the principle that interna-
tional problems must be handled by
free negotiations on equal terms be-
tween free peoples, and that settlements
shall no longer be hampered or sullied
by overmastering dictation of a govern
ment controlled by a military caste
That is what l mean by the destruc-
ton of the military domination of
Prussia-nothing more, but nothing
less"
Referring to the fate of Serbia and
Montenegro, the premier said:
I'VE are in this struggle, the cham
pions not only of treaty rights but OF
the independent status and free devel-
opment of weaker countries. In the
circumstances, cyniciSm could hardly
go further than in the chancellor's
claim that it is for Germany-of al
powers-to insist, when peace comes
upon giving various races a chance fol
free evolution along the lines of theil
mother tongue and national individual
ity." Apparently this principle is to be
applied, L suppose, on approved Prus-
sian lines both in Poland and Belgium
Contending that the Poles have hat
an illuminating experience of the Ger
man ideas of a free evolution Mr.. AS
quith continued:
THE attempt to Germanize POLAND
has been for the last twenty years al
once the strenuous purpose and colossa
failure of Prussian domestic policy. No.
body knows this better than the chan.
cellor, for he has been one of it's prin.
cipal instruments.

rested here tonight in connection with
the flight over the border of General

Eight MeXicans, all of whom have
played important parts in Mexican

them were General Ignacio Morelos
ZaragoZa, who was in command at
Tampfco under Huerta when the arrest
of American marines precipitated the
crisis which led to the occupation of
Vera Cruz, and General Marcelo Careve,
a former lieutenant of OroZco. All eight
are said to have been working in the
interests of Felix Diaz, a fact which
supports the theory that SalaZar pro-
poses to declare for that leader
Baca has represented SalaZar at the
latters trials for gun running con-
and perjury. In each case he succeeded
in having his client acquitted. After
his first arrest, SalaZar escaped from

An Old Mans Stomach.

As we grow older and less active less and less food is required to meet She demands of our bodies. If too much is habitually taken, the stomach will rebel. When a man reaches the ad- vanced age of S5 or 90, you will find that he is a light eater. Be as careful as you will, however, you will occG- sionally eat more than you should and will feel the need of Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the disorder These tablets do not contain pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and enables 1t to perform its functions naturally. They also cause a gentle movement of the bowels. (Advertisement)
