IN ACCORD WITH OFFER
MADE BY GERMANY I'M 1916

Copenhagen, Aug '2l-At a meeting
of the main committee of the reich
stag called for today, Chancellor Mi
chaelis was to declare the pOpe's
peace note in acord with the German
peace proposals of 1916, and the re-
cent reichstag resolution on the same
subject, and therefore to be sympa-
thetically received in Germany.
Germany, cannot, however, discuss
details, and. particularly, under no Cir
Cumstances, can it enter into discus
sion of the status of AIsace-LOrraine
as a part Of the German empire. The
chancellor, according to this forecast,
will say that as Germany has earlier
indicated its desire to make peace, the
first word must come from the other
side.
