 Of Culpability, His View
NO PLEDGE ON BELGIUM
Reichstag Informed What a Wonder full Man Baron Burian Is-RegretS Exit of Rados1avoff-1n Entire Amity With Turkey.

Amsterdam, June 25-Chief blame for instigating the war was laid at Russias door by Dr. von Kuehlmann, the German foreign secretary, in an address to the Reichstag yesterday in which he also dealt with Germany's war aims. France and England were named as the next powers in order of culpability, zt
 T believe,'' said Dr. von Kuehl- mann. that one can say without fear of contradiction, as a result of revela- tions, that the deeper We go into the causes of this war the clearer it be- comes that the power which planned and desired the war was Russia: that France plays the next worse role as instigator, and that England's policy has very dark pages to show.
 'In Austria Hungary, he said, that brillian representative of her foreign policy, Count Czernin, retired because of internal political reasons. His suc- cessor, Baron Burian, is a well-tried diplomat, whose loyalty, friendship and devotion to the alliance were as- sumed from the outset. The personal and cordial collaboration which exist ed in the case of Count Czernin and which contributed to the final settle ment and solution of all questions, also exists in the case of Baron Buran.
 Tt is also to be reckoned among Baron Burians services" Dr. von Kuehlnann went on. that an inter- view between the two emperors oc-, cured at main headquarters which history will record as momentous i'll shaping the relations between Ger many and Austria Hungary. Both emperors, in the presence of leading statesmen, assured each other solemn 1y they would not only loyalty abide by the existing alliance, but intended also to strengthen, widen and deepen 1t in political, military and economic directions
 Pursuant to the expression of the will of these two august personages. responsible statesmen forthwith en- tered into corresponding negotiations. During his visit to Berlin, Baron Bur- Ian discussed the fundamental queS- tlons thoroughly in conferences with the chancellor, the exchange of views being carried on further in writing. They probably will be continued on the occasion of the chancellor's visit to Vienna.
 With Bulgaria. too, recent events especially the peace negotiations have facilitated the drawing closer of many personal and political ties. It IS a matter of regret, which the German public shares, that Premier Rados- 1avoff, who has been a pillar of our alliance, recently resigned for internal political reasons The explicit assur- ances of his successor and the exalted personality of the great statesman who wears the Bulgarian crown are a guarantee to us that there will be no change in the policy hitherto fol- lowed.
 Dr. von Kueh1mann again went over the question of the Dobrudja which is the subject of negotiations between Turkey and Bulgaria and added "Rut thero does not exist any conflict in interest between us and Turkey
 pr. von Kuchlmann announced that within the next few days q conference would Do held at Constaninople where the questions arising between the Quadruple alliance and the Caucasian people "wo1I1d find q settlement"
