DESIRES PEACE
BUT WON'T ASK
That Is Germany's Attitude,
Says Berlin Vorwaerts,
Socialist
SHE WOULD DROP
INDEMNITY IDEA
Nor Would Germany Seek
for Annexation Of
Territory

Amsterdam, via London, April 81
The Berlin Vorwaerts comments sarcss-
tically on the announcement of the semi
official Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
| that the German government refuses to
declare its attitude, amid the conflict of
opinion regarding Germany's war aims.
The Vorwaerts says the government does
not wish to reject directly the peace
formula of the Social Democrats but new
ertheless refuses to adopt it because the
British and French newspapers are talk
ing nonsense and adherence to the form
ula might be interpreted as sign of
weakness. The paper adds:
whoever wishes may read between
the lines that the government is prepared
to conclude peace without annexation
and indemnities and would even be glad
to get it, but does not dare to say so,
owing to the threatening attitude of the
Paris Matin and journal and also of the
Deutsche Tages Zeitung and the Taeg-
lische Rundeschau."
George Bernhard, in the Vossische lei
tung, sharply criticises the declaration of
the Norddeutsche Zeitung. He regrets
that henceforth nobody will be able to
judge from the statements of the gov
eminent what its war aims really are.
THAT nobody knows what the govern
ment really wants." he says, is the ex-
PLANTATION of the confusion of counsels.
Our leading statesman does not lead"
Pieter Jeles Troelstra, president of the
international Socialists bureau, who has
arrived a: Copenhagen from Berlin by
way of The Hague, is quoted by the So
cialdemokraten as saying that the OBJ
ject of his visit to Berlin was to endeav-
or to obtain permission for the German
Socialist minority party to be represent
ed at the coming conferences in Stock
holm. To this end he had an interview
with Foreign Secretary Zimmerman.
The Socialist leader said he had rea-
son to believe that Austria in making |
peace would agree to liberate Serbia and !
give her an outlet to the sea, while Ger |
many would probably liberate and re.
build Belgium.
He said that while in Berlin he con.
ferred with the foreign secretary, who
promised that the imperial government
would place no obstacles to the participa
ton of the radical minority German So
cialists in the conference. Arrangements
for the participation of the seeded wing
Of the Socialists was one of the main oc.
casions for Troelstra's visit to Berlin.
He found, he explained, that the major
ity under Philip Scheidemann would
make no objection.
Troelstra declared that ii was neces-
;ary at this time that the central gov
should formulate definitely
peace programs and that the Socialists
If the entente countries should induce
heir governments to put forth at the
'ame time better peace formula. As

inue hostilities. After conference with {
