London. Oct. 22.-Discussing the

powerless reichstag. The desire OF the
German emperor and his counsellors
to protest at this time of the day
against the repreach of the Illegal
and inhumane actions made against
the German army and sea forces n
thereby against the German people,
argues a state of mind with which the
associated peoples nave nothing in

demnatory OF the shallow pretense of
German rulers in seeking TO discuss

Senators generally look upon the
German message as merely another
step in the movement to bring about
a cessation OF the allied attacks until
Germany has been able to withdraw
her troops out OF danger.
Among senators who discussed the
message were the following:

souri,. Boiled down, Germany siia-
ply proposes that the allies shall per-
NIT her to quietly withdraw her
troops. her artillery and her supplies
and reform them on a line to DE

she is being battered to pieces. hum
dreds of k-er cannon and large
amounts OF her supplies are being
captured. Every hour she is de-
stroying vast depots OF munitions,
food. clothing and arms, her forces
are rapidly being pounded to pieces
by the allies. She is compelled to
fight rearguard actions. largely under
advantageous conditions. and she
is losing thousands OF her men by
wounds. death and capture. II she
