London Papers Say
HOllWeg Fears Defeat

London. Sept. 29.-The evening news
papers publish long reports of Chan
celor Won Bethmsnn-Hollweg's speech,
contrasting it with his earlier utter
ances and drawing the conclusion that
Germany fears defeat and is anxious
for peace. "The Standard" says:
"The Chancellor makes it clear that
peace must be on the whole German
peace. but there is now no talk of vast
indemnities, great territorial acqui-
sitions and so forth. The Chan
cellor labors to make the world be-
lieve the conflict was forced on his
country by England How came it,,
then, that England, France and Russia
were indifferently prepared for war
two years ago, while Germany was
ready to the last button?
IF the slaughter of the youth Of
France and Russia really affects Ger
many to tears, it is curious that she
never thought of ending the carnage
when she was in q position Of I'M
doubted advantage"
"The Standard" concludes with the
remark that neutrals must now be
told, with the utmost politeness, Of
course, that terms Of peace are no
concern of theirs.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-30

itself superior to the rest Of the ma
ton.
There is a great difference between
this speech and Hollweg's Look at the
war map speech.
Talk of Victory Vanished.
"His case is now that the Allies
have not vet defeated them. Talk OF
complete German victory has vanished.
Ii is very significant there is not SIN
gle word about Belgium. The probable
reason is it is impossible TO mention
Belgium without offending either the
Junkers or his audiences abroad.
Apart from this, the Chancellor
pIays his old trick of attempting to con-
vince our allies we are trading on their
efforts. The story never bore much
plausiblity, but recent events on the
Somme rather diminish its chance OF
convincing even the Germans.
The idea we want world supremacy
is fantastic.
at is curious he takes the view the
only nation competing against Germany
after the war is to be England. he for
gets America. =,
"The Chancellor's attack on England
is due to the fact the Germans cannot
believe any one ever tells the truth. IL
is incredible to them that We entered
The war lust for the sake OF right ana
Justice, not for some deep political rea-
son. Any one is able TO see that II we
had such a plan We started without
means 10 carry 1t out"

newaI of Warfare
Soon.
SEVENTEEN MORE
VESSELS TORPEDOED
Eleven British Fishing
Steamers Sunk in
One Day.

London, Sept. 29.-The recent lull in
submarine warfare Is due to a shortage
in U-boats, but the number Of subna-
rine victims has been increasing in the
last three months.
This statement was made to-day by
Lord Robert Cecil, who expressed the
belief that the German Imperial Chan
cellor was sincere in his declaration
that Germany was waging war with
every possible instrument.
1.-The lull in submarine warfare is due
TO shortage in submarines" Lord
Robert said, "and it is always increased
' hen instruments are at hand. The
only change | note is that no British
passenger liner has been sunk since
the Sussex.
"The number of submarine victims
has been increasing steadily in the last
three months, and our allies and neu-
trails have suffered virtually as much as
we have. In June the British lost two
ships without warning; the other allies
lost one without warning and neutrals
lost five, including three without warn
ing. n.
"The figures for July show the Brit,
isb lost two that were not warned. and
neutral countries nine. In August the
British lost one without warning; our
allies one without warning and neutrals
twenty-six. To September "a the Brit
ish lost five vessels without warning
and neutrals twenty-six.
"Eighty-one British lives were lost
during the period covered above. Dur
ing August and September Norway LOST
thIrty-three ships, with a total tonnage
of $1,000 Sweden lost eleven, denmark
seven, Holland three, Spain hye and
Greece six"
Seventeen vessels were reported tor
pedoed to-day A semi-official an
nouncement from Berlin states that
eleven British fishing steamships were
sunk by German submarine in the
North Sea on September %, while four
Belgian lighters were torpedoed IN one
day at the entrance to the British Chan-
mel.
The Norwegian steamer, Vindeggen,
OF 1923 tons, has been sunk by an
Austrian submarine. according to a
Reuter- dispatch from Madrid. TWEEN

resulting from the split in the South
German ranks. The detection here
has affected the Reichstag representa-

Chancellor's critics being members OF

Much.
PLEASED AT LACK
OF NEW OVERTURES
Socialists See No Prospect
of Shortening of the
Conflict.

B.rlln, Sept. 29.-The speech Of DR..
Won Hollweg, the Imperial
Chancellor, in the Reichstag meets
with a mixed reception in the news
papers, the feeling being variously
expressed that he placed such re-
straiat on himself that his utterances
lacked defniteness.
The Conservatives. for example, ask
pointedly whether his sharp words
against England and his declaration
that ne statesman should be hanged
who omits adopting every possible
means 10 defeat Great Britain, sig
niiies that DR.. Won Bethmann- oliweg
is willing to resume the submarine
warfare. though they themselves as
sumo that the contrary is the case.
Conservatives Disappointed.
The Conservatives also note that a
number Of points were untouched by
the Chancellor which many Of them
wanted 10 hear discussed. All the
ueyspapers. except the "Vorwaerts,"
are erat.fed that the Chancellor made
no new peace overtures. In view OF
the utterances Of members of the
British and French cabinets. general
approval is given of DR.. Won Beth
rrann-Hollwegs emphasizing Of the
statement that England is Germsny'
chef foe.
The "Vorwaerts," voicing the feel
ings Of the socialist secessionists, ex-
presses distinct disappointment over
the speech, which it says opens no
prospects for shortening the war.
"Zeitung" Praises Speech.
Victor Hahn, in the National lei
tung," declares the Chancellors denun-
citation Of England was the dramatic
high water mark Of his speech and that
when he said statesmen shoult be
hanged who did not proceed against
this enemy with every means tending
to shorten the war he, as the response
bic minister of the empire, said IN
pregnant words what has lain inartic-
ulate in the soul of the German folk.
"The speech fairly breathed conf
dence and strength" concludes the edi-
tOrial.
"Germania" declares every one must
accent the Chancellor's word. unless he
wants TO promote Won Bethmann Holl-
veg n the status Of the "wordbreak-
ing statesmen of Rome and Bucharest"
IL his word is accepted, the newspaper
contends, then it will eliminate with
one stroke the suffocating political air
that had begun TO gather"

Following the speech Of the Chan

his utterances. The motion was re-
jected
Ledebour, the dispatch adds, protest
ed that a delay would cause the policy
Of the government to be judged still

Chancellor's words had been dictated
by embarrassment and that he had been
unable to say what was necessary. But
the Reichstag adjourned until Octo-

mats were present. President Ksempf
