SPEECH LACKS
FORMER HOPE
Britain Bitterly Scored
BY Chancellor of
= Germany
By CARL W. AcKERMAY.

(Stof Correspondent United Press
BERLIN, Sept. % Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg's reichstag
address, placing the blame for con
finuation OF the European slaughter
at the door OF Germany's enemies,
won enthusiastic approval from the
majority OF the reichstag members
today.
The chancellor made no offers OF
peace and he indicated that In view
OF the utterances OF Allied states
men, Il would be folly 20 expect an
early ending OF the war.
His speech lacked the hopeful tone
Of his former addresses.
THE desire for territorial con
quest by our enemies Is res ponsiole
for the daily piling up Of mountains
Of corpses," said the chancellor.
'~The British leave no doubt az 70
what they wish 20 do 70 Germany
They wish 10 crush out our exist

the military standpoint, boycotted BY

ssbleness---that ia the Germany
Rngland wishes 70 see at her feet
Then when England no longer
fears German competition. when
France has been bled 10 death, when
al her Allies are slaves OF England,
when European neutrsls must sub
NIT to every British order, the
dream Of British world supremacy IS
70 become a reality.
"A German statesman who would
hseitate TO use against this enemy

that would really shorten the war
such 4 statesman deserves 70 be

Bsthmann-Hoilweg declared the
