WASHINGTON SCENTS TRICK
IN kUEHIMANN ADDRESS

Washington, June % The speech of
German Foreign Secretary Won kuehl-
mann before the Reichstag, IN which he
laid chief blame for the war to Russia
was read in official and diplomatic circles
here with some degree of surprise and
astonishment
The question which Immediately oe-
Cured to all officials was the underlying
motive for the sudden shift of blame
from England To Russia and the placing
of England third IN the order of liability
and France next to Russia
Such statement, IN contradiction
of all the German official argument hereto
fore diplomatists thought might fore
shadow some further move, possibly to
test out the sentiment of the Allies on
peace and probably to create some dis
sension among them As with other
moves Of German diplomacy It was viewed
most cautiously.
