of Destruction.
DOMINATION DREAM FADES

LONDON. October 13.-The most in
teresting speech at Wednesdays sitting
of the reichstag was that of the social
ist, Herr Scheidemann, who, according
to reports published in the Lokal An
zeiger and the Tageblatt and forward
ed here in Reuter- dispatch from Am
sterdan. said:
I'VE declare openly and clearly that
the nation wants peace. All the nations
have had enough of being lured to de-
struction by fresh and brilliant prom
iSes.
THE French censorship prevents
Frenchmen from knowing that they
could have the liberation of their own
country and of Belgium from the Ger
man troops today without losing a
further drop of blood and without losing
a foot of territory. We wish to see
the relations between nations regu-
lated by treaties, not by brute force"
Sees Break In Censorship.
After protesting strongly against
the mismanagement of the food situa- :
tion and declaring that no power on
earth could prevent the real position
regarding food and the war from be-
coming known. Herr Scheidemann
averred that the censorship and the
state of siege had completely broken
down, and added:
I'VE desire a real peoples government,
responsible to an imperial ministry, the
re- establishment of the principle that no.
body can be chancellor who lacks the con-
fidence of the reichstag and a universal
equal franchise
According to the Koelnische Volkszei-
tung,, Huga Haase, the radical socialist
said:
"Millians are looking tothe reichstag for
a glimmer of peace. We see everywhere
an undecided battle. We wish to save
what is possible from the wreck of in
ternational law Our dream of domina-
tion in this war will never be realized
An agreement must be sought without
hesitation in order to save the people
from the worst"

the German and Austro- Hungarian
troops, and expressed admiration for the
Turks, who, under Gen. Osman's COM
mand. had accomplished heroic deeds in
the last seven months. He paid tribute
to the energy of the Bulgarians, who,
after having fought two wars. were now
successfully fighting on both their north

tility. he said. had reached its climax in
