AMSTERDAM, Jan. 24.-Thc Nord Deutsche Allemeinc Zeitung publish es the following autograph letter from the German emperor to Chan cellor von Bethmam.HolIweg, dated october 31, 1916:
 My dear Bethmann: I have since been turning over our conversation thoroughly in my mind It is clear that the peoples of the enemy coun- tries who are kept in hard endurance by the war by lies and frauds and deluded by fighting and hatred, pos sess no men who are able or who have the moral courage to speak the word which will bring relief-to pro, pose peace. What is wanted is a moral deed to free the world, includ ing neutrals, from the pressure which weighs upon all.
 For such a deed it is necessary Co find ruler who has conscience who feels that he is responsible tc God. who has a heart for his owr people and for those who are hi: enemies, who is indifferent to any possible wilful misinterpretation o' his act and possesses the will to free the world from it's sufferlngs

 Lee appeared primarily to oppose the Adamson bill 10 compel ninety days notice of a strike or lockout
