telegram to President Wilson today

sion here. expressed it's most pro-
found and complete respect and al
legiance" to the American nation.

hered portions of our mother country
occupied by German and Austrian
lower, message of cheer, courage

GERMAN ALLIANCE
WITH RUSSIA URGED
Georg Bernhard, Political
Writer, Wants Brest-litovsk
Treaty Revised.
Tn ropM ErnMnMIc. GROlJP
TO FORM ECONOMIC GROUP
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, August 27.-Re-
vision of the Brest-Litovsk peace
treaty, which shall secure for Ger
many an alliance with Russia and the
"Asiatic bloc attached to Russia" Is
advocated by Georg Bernhard, politi-
cal writer in the Vossische Zeitung ol
Berlin. After declaring that all the
German offers of peace have been re-
jected by Great Britain, the writer
says:
Their acceptance can be counted
upon only If England's position on the
political chessboard is rendered such
that there is no course for her ou'
that of acceptance.
Vital idea of German Policy.
.'The vital idea of the new German
policy must hence be directed toward
the creation of group of powers
which will have a word to say con-
cerning English efforts either to carry
on the war, or at the peace conference
or, at least, in the matter of conduct
ing economic warfare. NO TeIman ai
longer denies that the Brest-Litovsk
peace treaty is the chief obstacle tc
the formation of such a group.
Bernhard admits that the treaty
cannot be annulled, but he lays stress
on the view recently outlined by Dr.
Solf, the German minister for coll
onis, that the treaty is only frame
to be filled out in the future, and adds
"The originally planned community
of interests of the border states with
Germany is of subsidiary Importance
compared with the absolutely neces-
sary relationship between Germany
and Russia and the Asiatic block at
tached to Russia.
Instead of creating new Kingdoms
at this critical time, we should con-
Germ ourselves with the laying of the
foundation for a European alliance OF
nations without which the league OF
nations of the entire world. which
has been advocated by many, would
be nothing but deceptive label fol
Anglo-Saxon world domination"
Bernhard says the original idea OF
the Brest-Litovsk treaty was thai
concessions could be made in ex-
change for concessions frop England
but that as it now is clear there is nc
outlook for peace by agreement. these
concessions should be made to Russia
