SEEKS TO ALLAY FEARS
Hertling Says Military Situation
Is Satisfactory.
Asserts Growing Discomfort Is Mainly
Due to Suffering Caused by
Four Years of War.

London, Sept. 26.-According to a
dispatch from Berlin, Count Won Hert
ling, the German imperial chancellor,
addressing the main committee of the
Reichstag, declared that the public
discomfort in Germany was not justi
fed by the military situation on the
Western front.
The chancellor opened with the
promise to meet the desire of the
Reichstag for information as far as
possible.
He proceeded to allude to the deep
discomfort which has seized wide cir.
cles of the population" and said that
the principal reason was the pressure
of the terrible four years of war, with
all the privations and sufferings
brought in it's wake and the sacrifices
imposed on all classes, all families and,
more or less, on every individual.
Exceeds Unsuitable Limits.
81 have no intention of trying to
diminish this pressure by words" he
continued, "but, gentlemen, if this dis.
content is Influenced by our present
military situation, by the events on
the western front, / must, without de.
string to anticipate d statement which
we may expect from a representative
of the war ministry, declare most EN-,
phatically that II far exceeds %justifia.
BILE limits"
Count Won Hertling admitted that
the last German offensive was unsuc.
cessful and that ii has been necessary
to withdraw to the Sfegfried line.
"The situation is grave" he added,
but we have no cause to be faint.
hearted. We have already passed
through harder times"
The chancellor instanced the failure
of the Verdun offensive, the Somme
battles and B%rusiloff's mass assaults,
bringing in their train the well re.
membered u%nfavorable reaction on the
Austro-Italian front. Then came Rou.
mania's entry into the war.
I'VE never lost courage" he said,
but showed our enemies what a reso
lutte will TO victory could do.
Praises Austrian Tenacity.
THE Austro-Hungarian army holds
large tracts of Italian territory and
bravely maintains its positions against
attacks by the French, English and
Americans, who are supported by ev.
cry kind Of modern instrument of war.
"The events Of the last few days
have proved the old spirit Is alive in
our troops. The fatherland's true sons
are intrepidly preventing the en-.
emy's pertinacious attempts to break
through.
Shall we then lose courage and for.
get what previously happened? Shall
we refuse the old absolute confidence
In the men who hitherto have led us
to victory because Of vicissitudes Incl.
dent to all wars? No, gentlemen, that
would be unmanly timidity and base
lngratitude."
