lion mem"
Germany's allies, Herr Goethein con-
tinued, were not inclined TO continue
the war for pan-German plans of con-
quest, but were striving for peace by
understanding and Cancellation. while
the panGerman clamor for annexation
was finding bad reception among
them He asserted that the long work
Ing hours and insufficient feeding at
home increased the desire for peace
among the workers and that strikes
might be expected II tie war should
be continued for aims of conquest.
Goethein said furt..er that although
the military situation was satisfactory,
there was no hope OF crushing Ger.
many's enemies on land. As for the
submarine campaign, 100000 tons OF
shipping had been sunk, he asserted,
but no disposition toward peace on the
part OF England was discernible. A
rationing system for foodstufis had
not been even introduced, and no one
was able to say when the U-boat
would make England more inclined for
peace.
External pressure to force the Ger
man government to set forth its war
aims clearly having failed on the sur
face, internal conditions within the
empire threaten to compel the issu-
ance OF full statement OF Germany's
aims. What the German leaders want,
II they are successful, will be dis
cussed in the Reichstag. The chan
cellor. DR.. Michaelis. is finding the
way as difficult as II was for his pre-.
decessor. Won Bethmann- Hollweg, and
he must now face the critics OF the
government in the Reichstag.
