Cites Need of Material.

The war minister, Lieut.. Gen. Won
Stein, pointed out the paramount role
of war material during the present con-
fiict. He said the heroism of the troops
at the front imposed upon every Ger
man at home the necessity of provid-
ing the requisite materials and added:
The enemy has suffered appalling
losses from our artillery. For a long
time a very energetic French general
stood opposite my sector. We found
on prisoners and on the dead docu-
ments which mostly were incompre-
hensible to US. From them we learned
how many death sentences were passed
by the general on his own soldiers. AT
the time of our victorious attack on
the much talked Of wire hedge at
Thiepval. behind which machine guns
were placed, the order was given:
Whoever retreats will be shot. At the
time of the attack on the heights south
of Avricourt soldiers captured there
stated they had received th" order:
Every one who retreats viii be shot.
ITO US such an order is ncomprc-
hensibie. The heroisul and sense OF
duty of our soldiers Justify our conf
dence that they viii never be found
wanting, even when fighting against
numerically superior forces.

Says Enemies Desire War.

THE war continues, with its destruc-
tive forces" the chancellor said. "Ac-
cordingly our enemies desire 1t. They
celebrated the past summer as a period
of victory But did they obtain what
they wanted?
Our lines are unbroken, and Ru-
mania, through which a great change
of events was expected, is now atonlng

in words of thanks, and our clear con-
science, since we, the first and only

the war by a peace guaranteeing our
existence and our future-they give US
moral right to such confidence.
But, gentlemen. this right ought

Idle Hands Assist Enemy.

The chancellor urged the necessity to
do everything in Germany's power in
order to manufacture the necessary war
material saying:
Hands that are idle assist the
enemy"
The bill. he continued, had been dis

in the reichstag main committee, and
was in harmony with the patriotic
spirit shown by the whole nation since
the beginning of the war
"On behalf of the confederate gov
