WASHINGTON. Sept. An insight
into the changes which anust be brought
about In Germanys system of govern
ment before President Wilson will re-
gard 1t as representative of the German
people was given to-day at the State
Department when Secretary Lansing au-
thorixed denial of published reports
that he had stated that the elimination
OF the Hohenzolerns was not necessary
as a peace condition.
Mr.. Lansing. 1t was explained, had
not made this statement nor had he any
idea of conveying that impression. The
INSTRUMENTATION Of this Governments 9
attitude was caused by a misinterpreta-
ton Of an answer which the Secretary
Of State made to a question concerning
the phraseology Of the Presidents reply
to the Pope.
The real attitude Of the United States
Government. as explained by the Presi-
dent. Is simple and we'll defined SO far
as the basic question of discussing pence
with Germany is concerned. The Pres-
dent demands that the German Govern
rnent change its character 50 that 1t Is
in the flrst place responsible to its OBJ
| legations and in the second place really
| representative of the German people.
These primary conditions must be full

the leaders responsible for the war must
be eliminated The present German lead.

sia undoubtedly was responsible for
the present world conflict. Chancellor
Mlchaelis OF Germany has given out
remarkable interview. His statement
seems based upon testimony which has
not been printed here. The Chancellor
says:
1.-THE statements Of the former Russian
War Minister and the former Chief OF

are calculated completely to destroy the
legend Of Germany's guilt in starting
the war and they will force European

that the American Government "ob-
viously had no knowledge Of the course

| "Russian Machinations.''
| "It certainly now is established ir-
refutably" continues Dr. Michaelis
that II was not Germany that chose the
: time for the war. but the military party
surrounding the Czar. who was under
! the domination Of France and England
He goes on to cite the alleged desire
of the Kaiser for peace and then adds:
1.-The Importance OF the new dis
closures is that the Car who had to
decide as to war or peace. in fact. came
! to the conviction. from the German EN-
perors efforts. that Germany did not de
sire war. The consequence Of this con.
viction was a positive order to stop the
Russian mobilization. but a couple OF
criminals dsrcgarded the order ant
thwarted its execution"
The Chancellor says the Russian For
eien Minister. NJ. Sazanoff. also frus
trated execution OF an order by the Czal
to give Germany assurances of Russia
desire for peace. He then proceeds t'
point out an alleged sinister relationship
between Gen. SoukhomlinofY and severa
other Russian bureaucrats and "th'
