Copenhagen, Oct. % - Prince
Macmillan, German chancellor, ad-
dressing the Reischtag yesterday,
declared that President Wilson
must answer Germany s peace eff
forts. Until then, he said, Ger
many must prepare to resist a
peace of violence. "The German
peoples have spoken to President
Wilson, the chancellor said.
"This fact lends added voice to
the utterances of the representa-
tives Of all parties today" ct is
apparent that the prince address
as partly in answer to preceding
speeches by Reichstag members, de-
handing enlightenment on the in
ternational sitpation.) 81 say only
that the President must first ans
Wer Germany's peace efforts, which
throughout the country have
brought to the highest point the
question peace of justice or vio-
lence." The chancellor declared
that Wilson IS reply to the latest
German note may bring about a
definite certainty regarding the re-
suit of the negotiations. Until
then, he said, the German people
must prepare to resist a peace of
violence. The government which
acted otherwise, the Prince con
tended, would be swept away by
public opinion. "The whole Ger
man people are anxious to hear
the governments views regarding
the success of peace negotiations, =
he continued. "I speak with the
greatest reserve. I am certain
the parties will observe reticence
consistent wit the seriousness of
the hour In closing his address
to the Reischtag, Prince Max said:
nThe enemy is at our gates. Our
first and last thoughts must be for
the brave defenders who must be
defended against the charges that
have been made against them.
There is some bad elements in
every army and when it is found
that the will of the people is
against such members of the army,
the army will promptly disown
them.

The text of the speech of Prince
Max was interestingly considered
by officials without comment.
When he determines upon a course
of action expected now with
out much more delay it viii
be in close cooperation with our
associates in the war. The official
text of the German peace note was
delivered at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing by Swiss Charge Oederlin. A
cursory reading of the official text
showed that it was substantially
the same as that sent out by Ger
man wireless. As explained by a
cabinet member today the "situa-
tion has now reached the stage
where it is not only necessary
but an act Of courtesy, to discuss
with out associates in the war,
questions relative to the next step
in the negotiations. This official
stated that the country could de-
pend upon it that emo fruits
our sacrifices in this war will
even be risked by President VIII
son..
