AMSTERDAM, Feb. 11.-Kaiser
Wilhelm. in commenting on the peace
pact with Ukraine, declared that "a
German victory must first be recog-
nized" before Germany can live in
friendship with other countries.
The kaiser's statement was made in
a telegram to the burgomaster of
Hamburg. He said:
whoever extends his hand to US,
receives our hand; but he who won't
accept peace must be forced to.
"Our troops, under Hindenburg. will
continue to win victories-then peace
will come.
1--WE desire to live in friendship with
our neighbors, but a German victory
must first be recognized.
MAY this be the first of series of
blessed conclusions of peace" de-
clared German Foreign Minister
Kuehlman, just before the separate
peace pact with the Ukraine was
signed, it was learned here today.

the Ukrainians in the future" he con-
cluded.
Replying, the president CT the Uk-

ton Of the great war"

the junkers changed their tone.
Shortly after this the allies
published an intimation the
war would not stop until the
central powers were disrupted.
Thereupon, Scheidemann
and his. followers automatical-
" aligned themselves with the
! government. Like rats in a cor
ner, they meant to fight.
Judging from what every
one fresh from Germany is
saying, the allies are now on
the right track, in that they
will only continue the war ull-
til the German war party gives
up its ambitions for world con-
quest, when they are ready to
make an equitable peace e-but
until then they will fight re-
lentlessly.
Today the masses in Ger
many and in Austria are in a
mood to listen to reason.
From the most dependable
sources, I have learned that do
mestic conditions in both coun
tries are appalling.
Austria is threatened with
disruption. Long professions
of women and children are
common, marching through the
streets Of the cities demand
ing bread. The recent strikes
broke out spontaneously be-
cause the people desire peace
and are hungry.
Illness is rampant. T h e
death rate is steadily mount
ing. Deaths from consump-
tion alone are sometimes high
er than the birth rate. A
strange m ala dy popularity
called the "bread disease" is
taking off multitudes.
The coal shortage is severe.
There are many deaths from
the cold.

but he appears to insist that it be
confined, at any rate in this case to
generalities and that the several par
ticular questions of territory and
sovereignty, the several questions up
on whose settlement must depend the
acceptance of peace by the twenty
three states now engaged In the war,
must be discussed and settled, not in
general council, but severally by the
nations most Immediately concerned
by interest or neighborhood. He
agrees that the seas should be free

glad to see economic barriers remov-
ed between nation and nation for

bitions OF the military party with
whom he seems constrained to keep
on terms, Neither does he raise ob-
lection to a limitation of ornaments.
That matter will be settled of itself,
he thinks, by the economic conditions
which must follow the war. But the
German colonies, he demands, must
be returned without debate. He will
