KUEHlMAN ASKS
ALLIES Peace OFFER
German Foreign Secretary
Says Terms Must Meet
Vital German Needs
SAYS ISSUES CAN'T
BE DECIDED BY WAR

AMSTERDAM, June 26.-Germany's war
aims were briefly set forth, the idea
that she desired TO secure world
domination through war disclaimed,
and the responsibility for the con
illct primarily placed upon Russia by
Or. Richard Won Kuehlmann, the Ger
man Foreign Secretary, In a speech 60
the Relchstag In Berlin on Tuesday.
While declaring that what was desired
for the German people and their Allies
was "a free. strong independent ex-
istcnce' within the boundaries drawn
for them by history" the Foreign
Secretary said Germany would have 20
decline TO make any prior concessions
by stating her position as TO Belgium In
way which would bind her without
similarly binding Germany's enemies.
Referring 90 the responsibility for
the war, as he viewed Il, Or. Won
kuehlmann said:
Il do not believe any responsible
man I'm Germany. not even the EN-
RerOr or The members OF the Imperial
government, ever for a moment be-
lioyed they would win the domination
Of Europe by starting this war. The
idea OF world domination In Europe is
utopian. as was proved by Napoleon"
After declaring that the revelations
that had been made showed Russia as
the power which planned and desired
The war, with France abetting her and
England's attitude strengthening the
Russian desire for conflict. Or. Won
kuchlm1nn again declared that Ger
many had not entertained any belief
that this war could lead even 10 the
domination Of Europe and much less
that Of the world.
In introducing hls statement Of the
German war aims. the Foreign Minister
said
Il consider 70 necessary 10 say quite
simply, and I'm a way easy for all 90
what our positive desires
are:
we wish for the German people and
our ALLIES a free. strong independent
existence within the boundaries drawn
for us by history. We desire overseas
possessions corresponding 10 our great

sea, carrying our trade to all parts o
The world"
Dealing with the question of Poland
Or. Won kuehlmann said that not onf
was the Polish question inherently
dinlcut one but the almost inseparabh
connection between II and the solutio'
OF the economic questions existent bf
tween Ausiria-lIungary and German
had so far prevented the attainment 0
a definite result.
II believe, however" said the Forelr
Minister. that before there are genera

cerned will result in their succeeding
In finding a solution acceptable to a.
parties"
I'm South Russia" Dr. Won Kuehl
mann said, "our occupation OF th
Crlmea gave rise 20 certain incident
respecting the Russian feet but thes
have been satisfactorily settled"
Or. Won Kuehlmann announced iha
within the next few days a conference
would be held at ConstaniinOple, wher
the questions that has arisen beiweei
the Quadruple Alliance and "the eau
caslan people" would find a settle
ment."
It was predicted in Entente circle
here that this new peace offensive. liki
preceding ones. would fail and that Tho
Entente Allies aud America would con
tlnue to prosecute the war to VIC
toriOus conclusion.
Some observers think Germany ha,
, at last become convinced that 10 Is with
England and America that she mus
deal In peace negotiations and Is paw.
Ing the way for elimination OF the
"strailng" OF England. These observers
believe the Germans feel safe in prac.
tically ignoring the other Entente Pow
ers, confident In their ability TO doai
with them separately II England and
America can be brought 10 see the adj
vantage TO themselves Of accepting such
peace terms that Gormanic Powers are
prepared to offer.
Other features OF Won Kuehlmann's
speech are declared by the oflclgls here
10 be nothing mOresthan repetitions OF
former declarations by him or by hls
predecessor In the Oflce OF Foreign
Minister. The reference 10 Germany's
independent existence within the boun-
daries drawn for us by history" is un-
dcrstood here to mean determination
20 retain Alsace Lorraine by virtue OF
the ancient title set up by Germany
preceding the separation Of those
provinces by NapOleon's Act.
Referring TO the German Minister'S
declaration that Germany could not
bind herself TO any pledges In regard TO
Belgium" u Is pointed out that this
statement was evidently in answer 20
the comment made recently In the House
Of Commons by Foreign Minister Bal

The nation, like others, has leaned
upon that one city of the universe for
it's inspiration. guidance and material

To have the bond weakened that
connects us with Paris is to have the
feeling that child has when its
mother turns it loose and tells it to
walk alone to the nearest chair. There
is In the minds of the buyers, we inn
agine, something of the panic that

ing but its own legs for support in a
wide oasis Of space.
We did not get this feeling when
the war broke, because two or three
thousand gowns were assembled in

marine menace did not break the bond

to hew. Slowly the thick trunk
shaped itself to the form Of q boat
under the steady swing Of his OK.
In q week it was finished. They
loaded the sack of gold, the bundle of
furs, their meager camp outfit amid
ships, and swung off into the stream.
The Skeena drops fifteen hundred
feet in a hundred miles. Wherefore
there are rapids, boiling stretches Of
white water in which many a good
canoe has come to grief. Some Of
these they ran at imminent peril. Over
the worst they lined the canoe from
the bank. And in the second week
of July they brought up at, the head
of Kispiox Canon. Hazelt0n lay few
miles below. But the Kispiox stayed
them, a sluice box cut through old
stone, in which the waters ragged with
q deafening roar. No man ventured
into that wild gorge. They abandoned
the dugout. Bill slung the sack Of
gold and the bale of furs on his back.
Its the last lap, Hazel" said he.
"We'H leave the rest of it for the first
Siwash that happens along"
So they set out bravely to trudge
the remaining distance. And as the

She sat on the edge of the bed, re-
garding her reflection in the mirror
with extreme disfavor. Bill fingered
his thick stubble Of q beard for Q
thoughtful minute. Then he sat down
beside her.
"What's a mollah, honT' he wheed-
led. "What makes you such a crosser

"Oh. I don't know" she answered
dolefully. I'm tired and hungry, and
I look fright and-oh, just every

'Tut, rut!" he demonstrated good
naturally. "That's just mood again.

"All right; you go shopping, then"
he proposed, while I take these furs

into money. Then we'll dress, and

CHAPTER XIII.
The Stress Of the Trail,

me stress OF the Trail.
Roaring Bill dumped his second pack
on the summit Of the Klappan, and
looked away to where the valley that
opened out of the basin showed its
blurred hollow in the distance. But
he uttered no useless regrets. With
horses they could have ridden south
through rolling country, where every
stretch Of timber gave on q grass
grown level. Instead they were forced
back over the rugged route by which
they had crossed the range the sum-
mer before. Grub, bedding, furs and
gold tOtaled two hundred pounds. On
his sturdy shoulders Bill could mack
half that weight. For his wife the
thing was a physical impossibility.
even had he permitted her to try.
Hence every mile advanced meant that
he doubled the distance, relaying from
one camp to the next. They cut their
bedding to blanket apiece, and that
was Hazel's l0ad-all he would allow
her to carry.

he would say. 1T don't hurt me. I've
done this for years."
But even with abnormal strength
and endurance. 1t was killing work TO
buck those ragged slopes with a heavy
load. Only by terrible. unremitting ef-
fort could he advance any appreciable
distance. They were footsore, and
their bodies ached with WEAKNESS that
verged on pain when they gained the
pass that cut the summit of the Klap-
pan ranae.
'Well. we're over the hump" Bill re-
marked thankfully. Its a downhill

interpret from one general to another
speaking different languages.
In the meantime we are all quite
eager about the new American output.
The first touch of it's sanity is shown
in the fact that materials suitable for
our climate have been chosen for the
summer gowns.
Organdie is too well known to be
more than barely mentioned. but the
fact that 1t has appeared for evening
gowns is a comfort to many who did
not know what to wear when asked to
dinner on hot summer night.
Another sane thing that the design
nrs over here have done which was of
necessity is to launch gowns In the
materials, whether thin or not, and In
the colors, whether vivid or dull, that
can be easily purchased in any part Of
this country.
Each season the yardage in Paris
has grown less. Each season the trans
pOrtatiOn has become more difficult
and uncertain. If the American pub
lie accepted gowns Of a different ma
terial and color from the original.
then the dressmakers over here would
realize q profit on their initial expense.
but the French do not always make
gowns that can be copied in other
fabrics and colors.

let's cat that lunch you packed up
here"
In a branch Of the creek which
flowed down through the basin, Bill
had found plentiful cOlors as soon as
the first big run-off of water had fallen.
He had followed upstream painstak-
ingly, panning colors always, and now
and then a few grains of coarse gold
to encourage him in the quest. The
loss of their horses precluded ranging
far afield to that other glacial stream
which he had worked with Whitley
Lewis when he was free lance in the
North. He was close to his base of
supplies, and he had made wages
with always the prospector's lure Of
q rich strike on the next bar.
I'm the morning." said he, when
lunch was over, 'T'll bring along the az
and some nails and shovel, and get
busy"
That night they trudged down to the
cabin in high spirits. Bill had washed
out enough during the afternoon to
make respectable showing on Hazel's
outspread handkerchief. And Hazel
was in a gleeful mood over the fact
that she had unearthed a big nugget
by herself. Beginners luck, Bill said
teasingly, but that did not diminish
her elation.
AS the days passed there seemed no
question Of their complete success.
Bill fabricated his rocker, a primitive,
boxlike device with blanket screen
and transverse Stats below. It was
faster than the pan, even rude as 1t
was, and 1t caught all but the finer
particles of gold.
A queer twist Of luck put the cap
sheaf on their undertaking. Hazel ran
a splinter Of wood into her hand, thus
putting a stop to her activities with
shovel and pail. Until the wound
lost its soreness she was forced to be
idle. So she rambled along the creek
one afternoon, armed with hook and
line on a plant willow in search Of
sport.
The trout were hungry, and struck
f1ercely at the bait. She soon had
plenty for supper and breakfast.
