man Imperial Chancellor, i'll addressing
the Reichstag main committee, com
pained of the lack of attention his
acquiescence in the four points LAID down
by President Wilson as peace essentials
had met from the American executive
The Chancellor asserted that on Feb
ruarv % of this year he declared IN the
Reichstag his agreement IN princIpie
with the possibility of discussing general
peace on the basis of the four points OF
Pra ldc WISH 5 mes; ngH of bruary
=, but that President Wilson. neither at
that time nor since, had taken any
notice of the Chancellor declaration.
Count Won IIertling declared he favor
cd the formation of league OF nations
the promotion of universal, successive
disarmament in equal proportions, the
establishment OF obligatory courts OF
arbitration, the freedom of the seas and
the protection Of small nations
Count Won Hertling, also declared tho
submarine warfare is slowly but surely
diminishing allied tonnage
Above all, he said, 1T IS restricting
the transportation Of reInforcements OF
men and material from the United
States
The Foreign Secretary said that, after
the previous failures, II had appeared
to the German government that IT should
not take any further steps IN tins dl-
rcction. and that n moment when the
nations enemies were suffering from war
psvchosis and the intoxicatlon of victory
was not a suitable time for new appeals
for peace.
The appeal however was made,
the Secretary added.
Theory and practice are two different
things The old proverb Of the mote IN
another's eve and the beam III one S
own finds constant illustration IN the
| Vaccinations Of the entente. They never
are tired Of condemning our march INTO
Belgium, but they pass over the opprcs-
sion Of Greece, the interference with that
country's Internal affairs and the en-
forced abdication Of its King as If they
were matters of course

They say they are fighting TO pro-
tect oppressed nations, but the century
old sorrows and the justItiablc grievances
Of Ireland nowhere find hearing, not
ever in America, where the people are
acquainted with them through the
numerous Irish immigrants.
'"The British government, which Is
especially fond OF talking of night and
Justice, recently found it compatible
with those principles TO recognize the
