eIa Trench Plows.

Whenever and wherever 1t has been
possible to do SO. gigantic trench dig
ging machines have been used for en-.
trenchments instead Of the spade Of
the soldier. Many hundreds Of ''trench
plows." as they IRE called. were used
by the Germans in the early days Of
the war, and that gave rise to the com.
mon belief that the Germans were the
drst to use them. But so long ago as
the Boer war British army authorities

them 80 successful that they became

Amsterdam. Feb. 26.-Speaking be-

made this declarations:
Il can fundamentally agree with the
four principles. which In President
Wilson's view must be applied In a
mutual exchange OF views. and thus
declare with President Wilson that q
general peace can be discussed on
such a basis.
"Only one reserve need be made In
this connection: These principles
must not only be proposed by the Pres
ident OF the United States. but also
must actually be recognized by all
states and peoples.
But this goal has not yet been
reached. There is still no court of
arbitration established by all the ma
lions for the preservation OF peace In
the name Of justice.
Unfortunately. however. there Is no
trace Of similar statements on the part
of the leading powers OF the entente.
England's war aims are still thorough
ly imperialistic and she wants to i'm
pose on the world peace according
to England's good pleasure.
IF. therefore. q proposal came from
the opposing side. for example. from
the government in Havre. we should
not adopt an antagonistic attitude.
even though the discussion at first
might only be unbinding.
Meanwhile. l readily admit that
President Wilson's message Of Feb. II
constitutes perhaps a small step to-
ward a mutual rapprochement."
Count Won Hertling. the German i'm.
perial chancellor. announced in the
reichstag that the Russian government
had accepted the German peace condi'

of peace must ensue shortly.
