Both Sides Pleased.

Copenhagen. July 30. - German
newspapers varfously interpret the
tax on peace possibilities of DR..
Michaelis. the German imperial chan.
cellor. to newspaper men in Berlin on
Saturday. Radical papers of the
stamp OF Vorwaerts, profess to find in
the chancellor's concluding phrase a
clear disavowal of all annexation
plans. while the Pan. German and an
nexationist organs are no less satis-
fled with the declarations and they lay
weight on the alleged designs Of con-
quest entertained by Germany's oppo-
nents as multiplying all overtures for n
moderate peace.
The Tages Zeitung says the reyela.
tions made by the imperial chancellor
show the necessity of material and
comprehensive success for Germa any.s
future In the peace treaty and proved
how childish and comic are German
descriptions OF peace based on under
standing and subsequent reconciliation.
Vorwaerts regrets the chancellor did
not expressly state that Belgium would
be given freedom. Any less intent.
that newspaper says. would be utterly
incompatible with the reichstag's pro.
