today declared that the address of
DR.. Won Kuehlmann. minister for
foreign affairs, before the German
reichstag this week should lead the
entente powers to have greater faith
than ever in their final victory by

~Dr. Won Kuehlmann." said the
minister. mo longer believes in a
military victory. but considers that
to put an end to the war one must
take refuge in diplomatic pourpar-
lers And thus when everybody
knows that the allies demand the re-
construction of and indemnity to Bel
gtum, the return to France of Alsace-
Lorraine, the liberty and independ-
ence of the Jugo-Slavs, in union with
a reconstructed Serbia, the Czecho-
SIovaks and the Poles and the self
determination of all the peoples,
great and small, the German thinks
that peace ought to be assured by
means of secret diplomatic pour
parlers.
.This last German peace offensive
for the first time betrays the fact
that Germany no longer believes in
victory by force of arms and that on
that account she tries to obtain 1t
by other means. This Is the reason
why we should have greater faith
than ever in our final victory by
force Of arms and justice"

AMSTERDAM, June 2s.-The Wolff

sian sources that the former Russian
emperor was murdered in train while
leaving Yekaterinburg Immediately
after that city had been captured by
cxecho-slovak forces.
The Wolff bureau also repeats the
report that Alexis, the former Russian

cherin, the Russian foreign minister,
has telegraphed the Russian minister
at Darmstadt that the former Rus
sian emperor was murdered a few
days ago between Ekaterinburg and
Perm. says an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Copenhagen.
Adds Weight to Report.
Tho dispatch from Bern gives
weight to the increasing number Of
reports Of the assassination Of the
former Russian emperor. Darmstadt
is the capital Of the grand duchy OF
Hesse. and the former Empress Alix
is a sister of the reigning grand duke.
1t is not unlikely that the Russian
government. through Foreign Minis
ter Tchitcherin, would inform the
Hessian court of the death of Eicho-
las Romanoff before making 1t public
through regular channels.
Berlin had reported recently that
the former emperor was being re-
moved from Ekaterinburg to Moscow.
Perm is on the northern railroad
route from Ekaterinburg to Moscow.
Czecho-Slovak troops control the
southern route. and 1t is probable
that II the bolsheviki did take the
former emperor from Ekaterinburg
they took him by the railway run
ming through Perm.
The former Russian empress was
last reported as being in Ekaterin-
burg with her husband and daughters.

THE notion that Won kuehlmann ls
a clumsy speaker WHO has blundered
into saying things which he did not
mean, or which were not authorized
by his superiors, may be altogether
Germany would dream of making a
statement in public about military op-
erations without submitting every
word Of it to the higher command and
obtaining their Endorsement OF 1t
down to the last letter.
il was because the military authori-
ties desired him so to speak and be-
cause they thought it necessary to
break to the German people the news
that the speedy and decisive victory
which a few weeks ago they were
themselves promising is not now
within their grasp.
THE chancellor's explanation and.
still more, the circulation officially in
neutral countries of Herr Naumann's
speech, which followed Won Kuehl-
mann's, confirmed this explanation.
The German people have in mind the
kaiser's speeches, loud boastings and
confident promises which followed
the first stages of the western offens-
i've. To be suddenly told the truth and
have to face the fact that the war
may be greatly prolonged and that
the great general staff does not see
its way to victory is stupendous
