Lorraine 2" said the Foreign Sec
retary. THAT answer is no. SO long
as one German hand can hold a gun
the integrity of the territory handed
down to us as a glorious inheritance by
our forefathers can never be the OBJ
lect of negotiations or concessions.
Gentlemen, a comparatively short
time has elapsed since the foreign pol
icy of the empire was discussed in
detail in the budget committee. |
need therefore make only a kind of
epilogue 70 the statements already
made by the Imperial Chancellor and
myself. The efforts of the Holy See
to bring about an exchange OF views
between the belligerents have so far
as we are informed not yet resulted
in any considerable step forward since
the reply by the Central Powers. We
cannot say whether our adversarles
will make up their minds even TO an
swer the Pspal note.
After the clear, sincere and peace
loving notes addressed to the Pope by
us and our allies the utterances made
by influential newspapers hardly hold
out the prospect that the answer TO
the Papal note. if made at all BY our
enemies, will bring the world one step
nearer the goal suggested by the Pope:
Although the Foreign Minister OF
the Austro- Hungarian monarchy, IN
speech at Budapest, pointed out that
the Central Powers were prepared IN
the sense indicated by the Papal note
to collaborate not only IN the termlna-
ton Of the present conflict, but IN the
reconstruction of a Europe nearly
ruined there are no signs OF new
spirit among our opponents, who are
clinging to the time-worn formula OF
the annihilation or German milltarism.
The great question prelonging the
struggle is not the future of Belgium,
but of Alsace-Lorraine
Great Britain, according TO our in
formation, has pledged herself 20 France
that she will continue the night for the
conquest OF Alsace- Lorraine both polit-
ically and with her armies 80 long as
France desires TO adhere 70 the pro-
gramme of regaining those provinces.
This being the actual situation, think
il proper 10 give clear and hrm state
ment OF our attitude. since, curiously
enough. there still seems TO be mis-
conception in this respect among our
enemies, and even among our neutral
friends"
The Foreign Secretary then emphati-
cslly declared. as quoted above, that
Germany would make no concessions in
any form with regard to Alsace-Lor-
rsine.

trick OF bashfully covering up with the

| AMSTERDAM, Oct. 10.-At the plen-
ary sitting of the Rechstag yesterday
DR.. Georg Michaeis, the Imperial Ger
man Chancellor. asserted that peace was
impossible as long as Germany's enc
mics demanded any German soil or
endeavored to drive wedge between
+ the German people and their Emperor.
The speech of the Chancellor was de-
livered during the discussion of the
resolution against propaganda IN the
army in favor of German peace.
I'VE would get along much better
said the Chancellor, "if those who COM
bat the peace resolution OF July ls
1 and assert that its supporters want a
separate peace would be more just
toward this resolution. We must work
out in their positive sense, and force
fully. the aims comprised in this reso-
luton. We must be clear in our minds
AS 10 what we desire and must empha-
size what was said in the resolution.
"The German nation will stand to-
gether as one man, unshakable, and
persevere in the fight until its right
and the rights of our allies 10 exist

its unity the German Empire Is lnvln-

I'VE can in this sense achieve peace
which guarantees the peasant the re-
ward Of his land; which gives the
worker merited recompense; which
creates a market for industries and
supplies the foundation for social prog
ress; which gives our ships the pos
sibillty on a tree ,oyagc of entering
norts and taking on coal all over the
world-a peace OF the widest economic
and cultural develooment, a real peace.
This peace we can attain within these
limits.

posts, as long as they demand that We
shall yield a piece of German soil, as

I I'VE can wait. Time Is working for

they must reduce .neir claims. so long

In addressing the Reichstag, Foreign
Secretary Won Kuehlmann said, accord

British Outposts
Are Pressed Back
Slightly by German
French Charge Across Cork
Overlaid Morass to Victory
-U-Boat Bases Menaced

LONDON, Oct. l0.-German counter
attacks followed quickly on the heels
Of the Anglo French offensive in Flan-
ders yesterday, but there was lack
of power behind them, and they ac-
complished little. South of the Ypres-
S.aden railway. between the Houtholst
Forest and the northern tip of the
Passchendaele Ridge, the Germans sue
ceeded in pressing back Haig's ad-
vanced posts for a short distance on a
front of about a mile and a quarter,
but everywhere elsS they met staunch
defence that brought them only add
tonal losses.
On their section OF the Ypres front
the French troop. not only established
all their gains of yesterday, but ad-
vanced their line even further in the
region Of the Houtholst Forest. occu-
pying Papegoet Farm. to the east of
Draibank, and increasing their toll of
prisoners to 400.
The total number of prisoners taken
by the British has been increased to
1898, Haig reports tonight, making a
total for the two Allied forces of more
than 1000 The British also captured
several field guns, machine guns and
trench mortars.
The Berlin War Office repeats to-day
its assertion that along the whole front
under attack the German lines held
firm, except for a slight loss Of ground
south of Houtholst Forest. Even in
the latter region, the statement de-
clares. counter assaults limited the
initial success of the Anglo French
forces.
The remarkable feature of the joint
French and British drive yesterday was
their conquest of almost insuperable
natural obstacles. Many correspondents
at the front, in fact, attribute their
victory TO the fact that the Germans
were confident no advance would be at
tempted under such trying conditions
The Teutons were caught by surprise
when the French and British soldiers
foundered toward them through the
morass into which the recent rains had
converted the whole battlefront, and
they surrendered in large numbers OF

In one respect the battle of last
Thursday was duplicated. An entire

wiped out. Ignorant Of the nature OF
the country, and the strategems OF the
Allies, they were caught up in the grand

the trenches and were too dazed to Offer
Yuch opposition.

Army Poison
Plot in Princeton
Causes Arrest
Student Filler Taken Into
Custody-Two Pounds of
Cyanide Found
Especial Correspondence J

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l0.-One OF
the most subtle and dangerous plots
conceived since the outbreak Of the
great war was uncovered and foiled by
the vigilance of the officers in. charge
OF the aviation camp at Princeton, n.
j., on Monday and Tuesday of this
week. The plot, it is believed, was ma
ton-wide in its scope. and its object
was the wholesale poisoning OF the
students in the various aviation camps
throughout the country.
An investigation resulting from
chance remarks dropped by one of the
students led TO the discovery OF two
pounds of cyanide of potassium in the
rooms In Patton Hall, occupied by q
private in the aviation corps.
Immediately upon the discovery OF
the poison, Of which the quantity was
sufficient to have killed a far larger
number Of persons than those living at
the hail. the man and another private
were arrested by the provost guard and
locked up to await instructions from
Washington. Upon receipt OF orders
from the military authorities, Comman-
dant Rodman Glider. in charge Of the
aviation school. on Tuesday morning
took the prisoners under guard to Gov
ernor's Island, New York.
An examination by the officers dis
closed the fact that the second man
arrested on suspicion was innocent, but
the first man was detained and held for
court martial early next week. The
other man was brought back to Prince
ton and reinstated.
Ii is suspected that the plotters in
tended placing quantity of poison IN
the food Of students of aviation camps
in every section of the country. They
believe that it was the intention OF the
plotters to agree on the day the poison
was TO be used and carry out their
plans simultaneously.
The origin of the plot and the name
or names of those who conceived it are
still unknown, so far as could be
learned. The ois cials refuse to dis
cuss the affair in any way.
Il was possibly the intention TO
cripple the aviation corps so completely
at one blow that II would take months
to regain the time lost in the selection
and training of men specially adapted
to the exactng demands of the new
science of navigating the air.
In the aviatio student body at Prince
ton there are enrolled about 500 men.
OF these virtually the entire number
eat in the dining hall at the same time
In addition TO these men, aboug coo o.

COPENHAGEN. Oct. 10.-An uncen-
sored report of Mondays debate in the
Reichstag shows that the Socialist
speakers produced a whole series OF
instructions from the higher military
authorities concerning the "enllghten-
ment campaign" which were in direct
variance to the principle of no poll
tics in the army, which Lieutenant
General Won Stein, Prussian War Min
ster. said governed the campaign. 1t
was asserted~by the Socialists that
the War Minister was unable to con-
trovert this testimony.
The Socialists also called attention
to the fact that the general order for
enlightenment against peace was is
sued Immediately after the adoption
of the Reichstag peace resolution July
10, showing that the campaign was
directed against the Reichstag major
ity.
