Trus eos ri tho Vermont state Hospital
for the Insane
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-09-29

The chancellor declared that tho German people again had an opportu- nifty to show their appreciation of the heroism of the army by subscribing to f @ new war loans. He asserted that the nation firmly believed in sacrifice. T know we can also rely on the fighters behind the front" he said, ito give all their available money to SUD- port the gigantic work of our fighters in the field. With clenched fists but open hearts we will stand behir them, one man and one people,"
 Concluding his speech. the chaneel- Tor exclaimed:
 Germany will not be permitted to think of peace while her house is burning. She must first extinguish the fire"
 After the chancellor had concluded the Reichstag adjourned untili Get. 5.
 The allies cannot break through the German lines on the Somme, the chan cellor told the Reichstag, according to an account of his speech cabled to Reuters by way of Amsterdam. Tho German prime minister made a similas statement in regard to the eastern front.
 The English and French, 1t is true" he said have achieved advantages. Our first lines have been pressed back some kilometres and we have also to deplore heavy losses in men and ma terial. That was inevitable in an of- fensive on such a mighty scale.

NO PEACE UNTIL GERMANY HAS WON,
 CHANCELLOR SAYS
(Continued From Page One)

/
 Referring to the actual conditions on the war fronts, the chancellor said that the attacks made by the central powers in the southeastern theatre had frustrated the great plan of the entente to sever the connection of Germany with the Orient by the sep arate conquest of Turkey, Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary.
 "On the whole, therefore," he said, i've see isolated successes of our ene- mics on the Somme which cannot in- fluence the general situation. On the other hand, we have. the successful repulse of all enemy attacks and the Illustration of the enemy's intentions in the Balkans and the failure of his plans. Thus the gigantic war is pro- ceeding. The war aims of our ene- mics are announced without disguise and can allow of no misinterpreation. Their purpose is territorial coveteous- ness and our destruction. They pro- pose to give Constantinople to the Russians, Alsace-Lorraine to the French, Trentino to the Italians and Transvlvania to the Rumanians.
 Since the first day of the war we have sought nothing but the defense of our rights, our existence and our freedom. Therefore, we are able, first and alone, to sasclare our readi- ness for peace negotiations. I spoke on Feb. g, 1915, and repeatedly after wards with sufficient clearness on that subject. Does anyone dare to demand that I've shall make offers in the face of Premier Briand's declaration that the conclusion of peace today would be a sign of weakness or that memory was dead? The entente continues the war because it hopes to be able to attain Utopian war aims. The lust
