MlCHAELIS ASSAILS WILSON
Chancellor Says Statement of War
Aims Would Prejudice Questions
at Peace Parley.

Amsterdam. Oct. doctor Mi
chaeIis, the German imperial chancel-
lor, in a speech to the main committee
of the reichstag. said that Pope Bene-
diets peace proposals were inspired
by moral seriousness, pure justice and
neutrality, whica things were lacking
in the replay made by President Viii
son TO the pope.
Justifying GerInany's refusal to state
her war aims, Doctor Michaelis said
such action would only have confus-
ing effect and would injure German
interests.
Were Germany to state her war
aims, the chancellor asserted. il would
prejudice the complex questions TO be
discussed az the time of peace negO-
Iiations.
The chancellor strongly attacked
President Wilson's reply 10 the pope,
which. he asserted. merely bound the
German people together more firmly.

there are forty-four on the waiting list

ton of a tuberculosis hospital in
