 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 26.- In the address of Chancellor von Hertling yesterday before the reich stag, Germany threw a hint to Bel gium to enter upon negotiations for a separate peace, intimating that a satisfactory settlement could be ar rived at by the representatives of the two nations if they were not interfered with by delegates from the allied nations.
 At the same time Germany through the chancellor declared that general peace can be discussed on the basis of the four principles as laid down by President Wilson in his last ad- dress to congress. This statement was followed by the statement that these principles must be recognized by all states and all peoples, and that this stage has not yet been reached. It was declared that court of arbitration is lacking, and that the tribunal of the world is now prejudiced against Germany, which declines to be judged by the nations of the world, holding itself as arbiter and sole judge of its own actions.
