Germany Has Murdered
Confidence Noted Ger
man Author Says.

The allies are exhorted to exact
specific and rigorous guarantees
from Germany by the author OF 'I
Accuse" and The Crime" two
books which have attracted much
attention by the writer's treatment
of the war.
The author, himself a German
democrat, is quoted at length by a
correspondent of the Petit Parisien.
according to a dispatch yesterday
to the French EmbassQ. This is
what he says:
The violation of Belgian neutral
ity. acknowledged by Bethmann-
Hollweg and lately by Hertling. and
the Odious accusations against Bel
gium that she failed in her duty as
a neutral are the things which
weigh terribly on Germany. As
success did not cover her crimes,
the Germans have lost the conf
-dence of the world.
Obstacle to Pence.
1T appears to me, though, as an
insUrmountable obstacle to peace.
There is perhaps one way of remov-
ing this obstacIe-the humble and
sincere confession of our faults
an act Of contritiOn with no men
tai reservations. But none Of the
authorities have ever had the least
comprehension of this duty.
Germany a harmless victim. Ger
many falsely accused, Germany on
whom war was imposed, Germany
lighting for her existenCe-this is
q q
repeating"
The German writer then mentions
all the crimes of imperialistic Ger
many and warn the allies Of her
maneuyers. He further says:
How could anyone trust such vii
lains, coming with a white flag to
say to those they have attacked, to
those who have suffered violence at
their hands, Trust US. let US be
friends
Confidence Unre~tored.
NO" he concludes. confidence is
rot 50 easily restored. 1t cannot be
artihcially preserved. It does not
really exist unless it Is spontaneous.
Masters OF Germany, you have
murdered confidence. The German
signature no longer has any value.
Set at the end of a document regard
ing the reconciliation of nations
that is, set out without guarantees
II has absolutely no value. 1t is not
only tine words and promises that can
get the German draft in future to be
accepted. Unless it is indOrsed by
the other powers it will have no value
in the world. As to the German
democrats confidence, it will be OBJ
Jained under no other conditions"

 At a sitting of the foreign commit tee of the Hungarian Lower House, Count Michael Karolyi, opposition leader, sharply criticized the foreign policy of the Monarchy, according to Buda Pest despatches. He claimed- absolute autonomy for the Hungar- fans and said that when the Austrian government rejected the British pro- posal to submit the Balkanic prob- lem to arbitration, the monarchy proved that it wished to begin the war,
 Count Karolyi said Austria's foreign policy during the war had been still worse than that which prevailed be- fore hostilities began and asserted that there were 'numberless occasions when peace might have been con cluded"
 "When we knew that Germany would not give in and that the whole world has arisen against the policy of Germany, which had become hate full to all nations," he continued, Eve might have made peace.
