In Speech in German Reich stag, New, Leader of the Kaiser Declares That Amer ica Is Not to Be Taken Seri- ously.
fBy Review Leased Wire)

COPENHAGEN, July 20.-"We look
 look without serious concern up-
 on the optimistic sentiment Tn the entente countries caused by Americas intervention" said Chancel- Tor Michaelis to the reichstag yester- day. i::It is easy to reckon how much tonnage is necessary to transport an army from America to Europe, how much tonnage is required to feed such an army. France and England are scarcely able to feed and supply their own armies without influencing the economic situation still further. After our previous success we shall be able to master this situation also through our fleet, particularly the submarines, That is our firm conviction and as- surance. We add our allies, there can look for further development of mili- tary events, in calm security.
 How Much Longer?
 "The burning question in our hearts however, is how much longer the war is to last. Today Germany does not desire the war in order to make vio- lent conquests and therefore will not continue the war a day longer merely for the sake of such conquests, if 1t could obtain an honorable peace"
 Victorious Germans.
 "The Germans" he said, wish to conclude peace as combatants whp have successfully accomplished their purpose and proved themselves invinc- ible. A condition of peace was the in violability of Germany's territory. No barley was possible with the enemy demanding the cession of German soil.
 "We must by means of understand ing and in a spirit of give and take, guarantee conditions of the existence of the German Empire upon the con- tinent and over seas," continued the chancellor.
 Will Not Offer Peace.
 We cannot again offer peace. We have by all stretch out our hands once. It remains but with the entire nation and entire Germany, the army and its leaders in accord with this declaration, the government feels that if our enemies abandon their lust for conquest and their aims at subju- gation and wish to enter into negotia- tions we shall listen honestly and readily for peace to what they have to say to us. Until then we must hold out calmly and patiently.
 Drouth Delays Harvest.
 ''The present time is in regard to food conditions the most severe we have ever experienced and the month of July has been the worst. Drought has delayed ard want exists in many cases but can declare with glad con- fidence that relief will shortly set in and the population can then be sup piled more abundantly."

UN|ON|STS IN
 PROTEST OVER
 FACTSOF WAR
Unionist Business Committee of the House of Commons Declares Proper Precautions Are Not Being Taken.
fBv Review Leased wire.l

|. ONDON, July 20.-The Unionist
 business committee, one of the
 most influential groups in the
 house of commons, which the war has produced, sent Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, letter yesterday referring to a prev ious letter wherein they urged the views on various political matters, in cluding Americas entry into the war, economic policy, and revolutionary movements in labor circles. Tester days letter cites recent events as hav- ing caused doubt in the minds of the writers whether the government is following the developments in Ger many with a proper regard for the facts.
 Germans Are Unit.
 They urge that it is a mistake to suppose that the Germans were unwil- lingly driven to war by the emperor and Prussian militarists and that any democratic movement in Germany is likely to sweep out militarism from the country. The German people as a whele, the letter says, are in sym pathy with the government and that is a reliable sign that the German social structure will stand the strain of the war until the end.
 Might Sow Discord.
 It is therefore time that Great Brit ain hold a consultation with its al lies, adopt practical decisions and act therupon with a view to carrying out the resolutions of the Paris economic conference and the British imperial war conference. The writer's fear otherwise that Germany will be at a great advantage when peace negotia- tions begin and will be able to intro duce discord among the allies.
 Labor Needs Attention.
 Regarding the widespread discon- tent and the growth of revolutionary feeling" the letter says, the labor question must be dealth with along lines of a broad national policy by statesmen having knowledge of the is- sue involved and having experience with workmen. The chancellor later received members of the committee privately and according to press re- ports gave emphatic assurances re- garding the postwar policy, detailing steps already taken.
 Criticise Churchill.
 Adding to the same sources, the de- putation made plain-spoken complaints of some of the new ministerial ap- pointments, especially that of Winston Churchill, the minister of munitions. who it is alleged. they decide as pe- culiarly unfit by temperament and character for that position. They said his relations with labor is extremely delicate while his unpopularity is bound to weaken the support of labor.

RUSS REGIMENT
 QUITS; TEUTONS
 FORCE LINE BACK
Disaffection of One Slav Con- tingent Compels Line to Give to Germans-Efforts Against French Checked.

Disaffection among Russian troops has resulted in an important gain of ground by the Germans and Austrians in the region of Zlochoff, east of Lem berg, the Galician capital.
 Regiment Quits
 Persistent attacks at first were re- pulsed by the Russians. Later Rus sian regiment near the center Of the line voluntarily left its trenches and retired, forcing the other units on the line to fall back. This movement, Pet rograd says, gave the Germans op- portunity for developing their move ments. Some Russian troops are re- ported to have refused to obey their commanders under the influence or the extremists throughout and about the recent disorders m the Russian capital.
 Would Assassinate kerensky
 Northwest of Halicz the Russians have evacuated Bludniki. Near Drze- zany, between Halicz and Zlochoff, the Russians have repulsed German eff forts. A Russian offensive movement near Novica, south of Kalusz, brought no important gain. An attempt to as sassinate Alexander Kerensky, the Russian minister of war who encour- aged the Russian soldiers to take the offensive on July l, has failed. A shot fired at the minister in the town of Polotzk missed him.
 German Drive Checked
 Another effort by the German crown prince to regain the California plateau and the Casemate plateau between Hurtebise and Craonne, on the Aisne front, has been checked by the French. The Germans attacked repeatedly in mass formation, but every attempt was repulsed and the French held to their positions. Elsewhere on the front in France there have been only raids and artillery duels. After I'm perial Chancellor Michaelis had de- clared that Germany would not con tinue the war a day longer if it could obtain honor with peace, the reichstag adopted the majority peace resolution calling for peace without anneXations or indemnities and passed without dis cussion the third reading of the war credit bill of 15,000.000 marks.
 The new chancellor in his first ad- dress to the reichstag made no new important declarations concerning the war.
 He declared that the work of the submarines was up to expectations and that the U-boats would master the situation. Americas intervention in the war he did not regard with serious concern,

 Dealing with the future trade re- lationship between Great Britain and Russia, Sir Paul said the two chief questions were, credit to Rus sian traders and the best means of extending international commerce.

The administration admits il has not

alone, buttressed by governmental
announcements showing what the

ought to be. The government will
cause to be published weekly a table
