LONDON, Aug. 29.-President Will
sons note has apparently created a
profound impression on the British
Socialist groups, which have been con-
ferring on the question of sending
delegates to Stockholm 70 discuss peace
by negotiation. Although Arthur Hen
| derson, the labor leader, and many
others, declined TO express their opin-
ion, on the ground that they had no,
had time to digest the note, all were
deeply interested. Even the extreme
pacifsts were not willing to express
disapproval Of It.
George James Wardle, Labor Member
Of the House Of Commons, declared
that President Wilson had taken a very
high ground-"the only reasonable
ground on which the future peace of
the world can be guaranteed"
He added: until the German peo-
pie are prepared to disown the govern
ment under which they now live, there
are little prospects of any peace which
will not be more preparation for an
other and worse war;
Urges a Conference
James Ramsay Macdonald, Socialist
and Labor Member Of Parliament, said
that President Wilson ought to see that
by some conference, such as that at
Stockholm, the German people could be
directly approached; otherwise the Az
lied governments would simply speak
to the German people at long distance
and in words which they would regard,
rightly or wrongly, as menace. and
that the German people would continue
to identify themselves with their rulers.
president Wilson's position" he
added, then means a war of attrition
in a most horrible. devastating form"
Henry W. Hyndman, leader of the
British Socialists, characterized tho
note as IAN extremely powerful, digni-
fed and permanent document" adding:
at shows clearly that President Will
son has no decisions whatsoever ss to
the real meaning Of the Popes pro-
nouncements. II carried out, the Pope's
proposal would enable Germany at
some future time, when the peoples
are again lulled to sleep, TO renew its
attempts to dominate world freedom"
"The Daily Mail" in an editorial on
President Wilson's reply TO the Pope
under the caption, eve Cannot Take
Your Word-Presdent Wilson's Mes
sage to the Kaiser" says:
president wilson's reply TO the
Pope's peace proposal has the spirit
and point Of view the world has learned
during the last six months to look for
in all his utterances on the war. The
United States entered the struggle for
the purpose of making the world safe
for democracy. and with the conviction
that IL never would be safe for democ-
racy so long a. an ambitious, intriguing,
irresponsible government held the Ger
man people in its grip.
His Words Unmistakable
president Wilson reiterates both his
purpose and conviction. In few cour-
teous but unmistakable words he shows
that the Pope's suggestion for a gem
eral restoration Of the status quo ante
would enable Germany TO repeat few
years hence her attempt to dominate
the world and would involve the crea-

big advances later.

men, perhaps she fears the hardship OF
a further penetration into Russia, and
perhaps she still clings TO the hope or
= secret peace In any case, the Gei
man people might be expected to en-
thuse over the situation. but they do
not. Is il because Germany want
peace more than any further terri
tory?

Delbrueck Hits
At Chancellor
Editor of "Prussian Year

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 29.-Attacki
upon the German Imperial Chancellor
Georg Michaelis, continue. Professor
Hans Delbrueck now Lsks the Chan.
cellor an embarrassing question con.
corning peace.
In the Prussian Year Book Delbrueek
inquiries Of DR.. Michaelis why, II he
really accepts the Reichstag resolution
as the basis of his policy, he neglect'
to answer the inquiry made on July "a
in the English House of Commons BY
former Premier Asquith. The latter
asked if Germany were willing to evac'
uate Belgium and restore its indepen'
dence, besides making reparation.
Delbrueck openly questions the good
faith Of the Chancellor. He ask:
whether Michaelis's silence, in the face
of Mr.. Asquith's summons, does not
shows that those are right who insist
that Michaelis takes another stand
point from that contained in the resolu
ton.
Reichstag Powerless
az the German government is ready
to conclude a peace upon the basis OF
no annexations and no indemnities,'
asks the professor, why all this un'
precedented apparatus of a joint com
mittee of the Reichstag and Bundesra'
to assist the Chancellor in drawing w
q simple answer TO the Popes proposal
of peace on that basis"
The truth is, says Delbrueck, DR.
Michaelis does not enjoy the confidence
of the Reichstag. Neither the German
nation nor the world knows what the
Chancellor's policy is, he declares.
The Reichstag's resolution, Professor
Delbrueck concludes, would have had q
different effect il II WAS not believed
abroad that the Reichstag is powerles'
and that the Chancellor 10 double

Reform Plan Attacked.
The Stats Zeitung," the Munich
organ of the Bavarian government,
publishes a Berlin communication
against the introduction OF a parlia-
mentary regime in Germany as opposed
10 the federative character OF the En-
pire. The "Staats-Zeitung" declares
that all the Federal states undoubtedly
share the view expressed by the Ceu-
trist speaker in the Reichstsg who
said that his party welcomed the
Chancellor's intention TO bring about
closer relations between the govern
ment and Parliament, but it must re-
jeet any tampering with the federated
character of the Empire and the rights
of the Federal states.
The article says the Reichstag in
its present form, although without the
right Of parliamentary domination, has
met all patriotic requirements com
pletely and more satisfactorily than
the British and French Parlianents
have met the needs Of their countries.

Mrs. Dana was surprised TO see this

and others familiar with plant life
have expressed much surprise over
