Amsterdam, Sept. 25.--Count Won
Hertling, in addressing the Reich
stag main committee, complained or
the lack of attention his acquiescence
in the four points laid down by
President Wilson as peace essentials
had met from the American EXecu-
tive.
On February 22, the Chancellor
asserted, he declared in the Reich
stag, his agreement in principle with
the possibility of discussing a gen.
eral peace on the basis of the four
points of President Wilson's message
of February 2, but that President
Wilson, neither at that time nor
since, had taken any notice of the
Chancellor's declaration.
Favors League of Nations
Count Won Hertling declared he
favored the formation of a league
of nations, the promotion of uni
versal, successive disarmament in
equal proportions, the establishment
of obligatory courts of arbitration,
the freedom of the seas and the pro-
lection of small nations.
I'VE never have concealed the
fact, said Chancellor Won Hertling in
the course of his address, that all
thoughts of conquest were far from
our minds. But how do things stand
on the opposite side? If one credited
the utterances of the enemy, official
and unofficial, they only desire to re-
pei a Germany which in criminal ar
rogance is striving for world
hegemony; to fight for freedom and
justice against German imperialism
and Prussian militarism.
Blamcs War on England
1--WE know better. The world war
was prepared years ago by the we'll
known encircling policy of King Ed
ward. In France there arose extern
sive war literature which referred
to impending war with Germany.
Austria Hungary's influence in the
Balkans was to be eliminated. The
Russian expansion movement ana
the pan-Slavic idea demanded it.
"The match was not put to the
powder by the Prussian military
party, but while the German EN-
peror was, up to the last moment
endeavoring to preserve peace, the
Russian military party put through
the mobilization against the Will oi
the weak Car and thereby made
war unavoidable.
Says Truth Is Obscurcd
THE official account of the Suk'
homlinoff trial made this clear tc
every one who desired to sec. we
canlook calmly forward to the JudS'
ment of posterity. For the present
it is true, those who are in power
in the enemy countries have succeed
ed by an unparalleled campaign oi
lies and calumny in obscuring the
| truth. When as result was not OBJ
| tanned by the spoken or writer
word it was achieved by pictoria
represent ntations-productio of alb
soiutely devilish fantasy, from whicf
one turns with horror and disgust
But the object. has been attained. 4
hatred has been raised amongst tbs
enemy populations against the Cen
| trail Powers, and particularly agains
Germany-a hatred which eschew:
all moderation and chokes off al
| just Judgment.
You have read Premier Clemen
ceau's latest speech, which seemed
in it's fanatical hatred and the
coarseness of mind displayed, tC
surpass anything hitherto achieved
But in America it found many
voiced echo, as is proved by the pro
nouncements that are reaching oul
ears from across the ocean.
War Fury Rages Here, He Says
THE widest war fury is at presen
raging in the United States. The
