KAISER INSPIRED SOLF
AND MAX ADDRESSES
Intended to Prepare Germans
Minds for More Conciliatory
Utterances

Special Cable 10 Errniug Public Ledger
Copvri0rt. 1918. bu N.rc York Times co.
The Hague. Aug. 80.
The publicity and widespread ap-
proval given to both Doctor Solfs and
Prince Max of Baden's speeches by the
papers of all shades are obviously in
srired. Your. correspondent learns.
moreover that these speeches We're made
with the full approval of headquarters.
and there are many Indications that they
are intended to prepare the minds of the
German people for still more important
and conciliatory utterances than hither-
TO have been made, especially with
respect to Belgium.
Persons in close touch with German
political circles expect that Germany
before long will show her hand. as a
direct peace offer would hardly be
apropos at the present juncture. For
egn Minister Won HintZe is expected to
leave for Vienna shortly. when doubt
less the discussions carried on at head
quarters will be continued but he will
return to Berlin next week.
l ne herman papers are still mucn
ergrossed with Solfs speech. and ap-
parently even ReventlCw vas deprived
of his usual vehement TRADE.
The Freiburg Nachrchten compares
Solfs ideas to the Pope's message
Georg Bernhard. in the Vossische Zei
tung, declares that the success of both
speeches may be found in the echo CON-
|. ing from abroad. He says that in Ger
many it is we'll known that the words
spoken now express the same ideas that
| German statesmen and party leaders
| have always had, and that Germany
sought peace even at the height of her
! military success, but that the enemy al.
ways refused to make peace. Where >
| he eXclams, lis Wilson's love Of peace
he who once declared there should be nc
| victor and no vanquished?"
Bernhard goes on to say that people
| can draw two conclusions from the
| speeches-that the Government wants
| peace and does not want to sacrifice the
| German people needlessly. Germany Is
| still making desperate effort to SOW
seeds of dissension and jealousy be.
! tween Eng'an and America. and one
of the latest arguments used is that the

Since Germany's capitulation to

Considerable speculation is still in

tween America and Holland regarding

should not keep the people in suspense.
The prosperity of thousands of Dutch
subjects depends on the outcome of the
negotiations, and the uncertainty has
made the market for East India trading
