 views the Pres

 Flanders and ltal- ian Fronts.
TOUCHES ON THE SUBS

BERLIN, Nov. 30. - Imperial Chancellor George von Hertling in reviewing the war before the Reich stag yesterday said the German sub marine warfare will reach the goal intended. He contended that the ships sunk will exceed those which the Allies are now constructing.
 The Chancellor declared that Ger many was ready to negotiate peace when Russia should send represen- tatives to Berlin.
 He declared that the British forces are far from reaching vital parts of the Flemish coast from which they could destroy Ger many's submarine bases.
 Touching upon political reforms, the Chancellor said the fundamen- tai principles of the Imperial Ger man constitution shall remain un- changed. a4N
 Referring to the Italian front, he said the Teuton advance in Italy held the world in suspense. He said Italy had lost considerable part of its forces and over half of its war material. He said the watchword of Germany must be to wait, en- dure and hold out"
 Again referring to the British op- erations in Flanders, he said the battle there had continued without interruption almost since last July, and that while the British army was superior ill numbers to the Ger an army, the Germans had suf- fered the loss only of some farms and villages.
 The Chancellor declared that the British placed vain hopes on their tanks which lie destroyed on the battlefield. The speaker eulogized the home population for their pa- tence and endurance under great privations.
 He said the German fleet had full filled the hopes and expectations placed upon it, having lately cap tured the Russian islands of 0sel Dago and Moon, in the Baltic sea. He said the Gelman fleet had opened a path to the sea for the German submarine fleet.

 FOR HIS KINGDOM

ROTTERDAM, Nov. 30. = Prince William gu Wied, the former Prince of Albania. has by no means given up hopes of regaining the realm which he ruled over for so short a period filled with trouble immediate ly prior to the great European con flagration. His latest step has been to send a memorial to the German federal princes, wherein he deals at length with the development of Albanian affairs and protests against the protectorate of Albania pro- claimed by Italy. He argues that an independent Albania offers the securest basis for a lasting peace in the Balkans. and that it is there fore in the interests of Germany and Austria. Further. Prince Will liam asserts his own rights to the throne of Albania.
