TIE CASE OF BELGIUM
The Chancellor then stated the
lines Of conduct in the case of Bel.
plum. He said:
1--WE must create real guarantee
that Belgium never shall be a Franco
faf4 -, -.
a. a military and economic fortified
ton against Germany. Also in this
respect things, cannot be what they
were before. Also, here Germany can
not saerifice the suppressed Flemish
race, but must assure for them the
sound evolution which corresponds to
their rich natural gifts, which evolu-
ton 10 based on their mother tongue
and follows their national character.
I'VE want neighbors that do not
form coalitions against Us, but with
whom we collaborate and who oollab-
crate with us to our mutual advan-
tape. The remembrance Of war shall
still echo In sadly-tried Belgium, but
we shall never allow that this shall
be new source Of wars. We shah
not allow II in the mutual interest
4cERMAhf's PLAN FOR EUROPE
The Chancellor then outlined what
Germany wishes Europe to be in the
future. He said:
I'VE shall adapt that which will
arise from this crisis, the severest Of
all In history. This new Europe In
many respects cannot resemble the
past. The blood which has been shed
will never be repaid, and the wealth
which has been destroyed can but
slowly be replaced. but howsoeyer
this Europe may be, II must be for
the nations that inhabit IL a land Of
peaceful existence. The peace which
shall finish this war shall be a LASTING
peace II must not be the germ Of
new wars but Of ali peaceful arrange
nepts Of Esropean questions"
The chanceIlor then pointed out
that Enoland wishes an end Of war
after peace, but that she then wants
70 continue the commercial war with
dpuhls violence.

The Chancellor quoted Bismareks
word that -the fate Of colonies Is de-
eided on the Continent" The Chan.
caller further pointed out that Ger.

new formulas in order to maintain the
speil Of Illusion, hatred and deception

GERMANY THREATENED.
A0f all nations in the war;" he said,
"cnly Germany has been threatened
b. the enemy and their responsible
representatives with annihilation,
with the partition Of her realm into
portions, with the, destruction of her
essential political and economic forces,

prussian character, or militarism, or

tion were the lust Of conquerors, the
lust Of revenge, and jealousy Of Ger
man competition in the workman
kets. During the war they remained
powerful with the governments of our
enemies, In spite of all defeats. This
70 still the object and aim OF the war,
alike In ST. Petersburg, Paris and Lon
don. To this we oppose the state
ment that Germany in this war had
only one aim, that Is to defend her,
self, TO maintain her existence, to hold
the enemies back from Que frontiers
and, whenever their lust for destruc-
tion had shown itself, to drive them
back as quickly as possible. &c..
DENIES WAR DESIRED.
