Down chaneeIlor's Pro-
posaI.

The Hague, May 19.-The kaiser
and Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
were responsible for the refusal OF
the German chancellor to announce
peace terms In the reichstag this week.

from Berlin.
It was reported In these dispatches
that the chancellor, Doctor O Beth
mann-H ollweg, had gone SO far as to
draw up a peace offer, suitable to both
Germany and Austria-H Hungary, but
when he took 1t to German Great

the kaiser, 1t was rejected at a mill
