but the chancellor failed to disclose to
the world what Germany's peace aims
are. Not al the pressure that had been
used By tho socialists and conservatives
could wiring from him any word concsra-
ing 0ermany's desires. He indicated that
the time for an exposition Of 0ermany's
peace ideas was not ripe. and that mean
time the best interests OF the nation de-
manded reticence.
With regard to the program OF renun-
citation Of annexations and indemnities
the chancellor declared that he would not
pursue such policy. which would enable
Germany's enemies to prolong the war In.
definitely without losses to themselves
and prove equivalent to the surrender Of
the future Of Germany.

she desired to prevent further bloodshed
and renounce plans Of conquest for her
self he did not doubt that an agreement
between Germany and Russia. could be
obtained which would exclude every
thought Of oppression and which would
leave behind no string and no discord"

the belief that Germany was approach

that the time would come whom she could
