The new patriotic musical comedy,
My Soldier Girl" featuring Miss Gu

the attraction at the Odeon Sunday

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 2s.-Dr. Michaelis,
the German Imperial Chancellor. in a
speech to the Main Committee Of the
Rechstag said that Pope Bcnedicts
peace proposals were inspired by moral
seriousness. pure justice and neutrality,
which things were lacking in the reply
made by President Wilson to the Pope.
Justfying Germanys refusal to state
her war aims, DR.. Michaelis said such
action would only have confusing ef-
feet and would injure German interests.

military exertions were awaited by Ger

re asserted. it would prejudice the COM
plex questions to he discussed at the
time of peace negotiations.
The Chancellor assailed President
Wilson's reply to the Pope. which, he as
serted. merely bound the German people
together more firmly. He dwelt upon
the satisfactory state OF our relations
with the neutrals.' which could not be
disturbed. he said. even by the unprece-
dented exertions of the hostile press.
I'VE greatly deplore,' he continued.
1.-The sufIcrings caused to the neutrais by
our enemies economic war, and we are
always prepared to assume a share in
the provisioning OF the neutrals.
The economic and financial! difficult
ties OF France are fast increasing. Still
more keenly felt is the economic distress
in Italy. with its internal political con-
comitants In England also the war Is
exercising its certain inexorable effect.
THE deceptive hope OF dissensio
among US causes the leading British
statesmen to continue to adhere to their
war aims. or AT least to proclaim such
aims as are entirely Incompatible with
the political. economical and vital needs
of Germany"
"In the United States the Government
attempted by all methods, even by un-
parallelled terrorism, to stir up war en-
thusiasr, which hitherto had been nom
existent among the wide masses.
"In Russia a grave economic crisis
reigns The transport especially Is In
no wise adequate TO the tasks before IT,
THE German reply to the Pope's note
met with the approval of our friends
and allies, while majority Of our enc
mics have given it an obviously embar-
Iasssd reception.
"It is difficult to understand how any
one acquainted with the international
situation and international usages ever
could believe that We ever would be in
such a position as. through a one sided
public statement on important questions
which are indissolubly bound up with
the entire complexity Of questions which
must ne discussed al the peace negotia-
tions. to bind ourselves to n solution to
our own prejudice
ANY such public statement at ths
present time could only have a confusing
effect and iniure German interests. We
should not come a step nearer peace. bu,
it would contribute certainly to a pro.
longation OF the war.

cur war aims and bind the hands OF oui
