London, Sept. 29th-The address of the
German Chancellor DR.. Won B8tnmnuu HoIl-
veg in the Reichstag is more remarkable tor
What it omitted han for what it said, accord
ing to Lord Robert Cecil. who in discussing
the speech with the Associated Press today,
said. There is a very great change IN Tue
tone OF the speech over the previous Efforts
of the Chancellor. The talk Of Il complete
German victory is entlre'y absent. Another
lemul kabte thing was that there WAS not u
word about Belgium. The significance of
this j. probably that be was unable to say
anything about Belgium as bis listeners can
be assumed to be the WI ole world and he
was bound to offend a section OF 1t II Bel
GUM were mentioned. If he attempted
to justify German occnputlou he would
offend the best of all neulal opinion,
and equally he would offend his own peo-
pie if he expressed a determination. 10
give up that country. DE-, ven Beth
mann Hollweo's deuuuciNtion of England,
while violent, contained nothing really new.
1t was merely The old tlick OF attempting 10
convince our Allies tina! we are trading on
their efforts and bleeding lhen to dealh III
the process, but recent events on the Somme
ought to convince hlm f his emOr. The
idea That we want world supremacy is Iau-
tastic, Discussing this phase Of The Cham
cclIol's speech, Lord Robert Cecil declared,
you will note that in this lnce for CONNER
cial supremacy England is the chief opponent
to be feared, the United States being left
out altogether. Lord Robert continued.

paration for any such contest for world
sup emacy. | note IN the potion of his
speech devoted to effoits for peace that my
name is used, but | cannot understand his
complaints that Germany was once ready for
peace J. cans nothing, as naturrlIy every
body is always ready for peace on his own
terms. The Germans are ready, not for
peace, but for Il truce 10 enable them 10 pre-
pare 10 enforce their own terms Oh the word.
There will be no peace as long as Germany
is content to be ruled by a military master.
Discussing the reference in the Ch0nceIIoIs
speech TO the death Of the KING of
Rumunia the minister Of war trade said.
OF course it is quite possible that the
strain imposed by the war may have cnus-
ed his death as the King was an old man
but it is also quite possible that the
theory of the cause Of death may be
based on DR. Won Bcihmunn Holweg's imagi-
nation. Lord Robert stated that he be-
lieved The German Imperial Chnnce.lor
WIS sincere in his declatu ion that Ger
many was wogipg war with every possible
instrument. Continuing he said. lie
luli in submarine warfare is due TO a
shortage in SUMMARIZE, and it is always
increased when iustrunA hts are at hand.
The only change Il note is that no
British passenger liner has been sunk
since the Sussex. The number Of sub
marine victims has been increasing stead
lily in the last three mouths and our
Allies and ueutrals have suffeted viz
tually as much as we have. In June the
British lost two slips without warning

the British lost two that we've not warned
