10 Informed-Fsar American Intrigue

Copenhagen, Aug. 3.--According to
a. published account Of conversations
in Dresden, Chancellor Michaelis said
that while he was ready to accept any
opportunity given him to secure an
honorable peace. the requirement of
the hour for Germans was to avoid
any manifestations OF nervousness to
prove to their opponents that Ger
many,s might was unweakened.
Germany's opponents, DR., Michaelis
said, had been greatly encouraged by
the exhibition Of nerves in the inner
crisis and by the German longing for
peace, which was interpreted abroad
as sign Of weakening of the German
people. Peace was brought no nearer.
he said. by such things, adding that
the government would continue efforts
for peace but would avoid earlier
mistakes.
The chancellor intimated that the
prospects for speedy peace were not
bright but that unexpected develop
ments might at any moment bring tho
question to head and produce tan
gible results. He appealed for unity
and declared that the entire German
press must back the government in all
vital questions.
