greatest resentment. He expressed
two principles. which are the pillars
of his doctrine. These principles
are. that whatever the issue Of the
war the German people will not see
any restrictions imposed on the pos
sibility of their existence as a ma
ton; that the German empire will
not have to contest for any of the
rights enjoyed by the peoples of
the new and old world.
The Moral Force.
Free are those who are attached
to tradition to declare the Wilson
programme Utopian. Those who see
in militarism a gift Of Providence
wish that the present German En-
pire may remain as it is. Does this
pious Count Hertling also attribute
such terrible thoughts to the Pope ?
The Pope's note of August, 1917,
provoked a motion in the Reichstag
demanding an evacuation of all the
territories. in Belgium and France
with guarantees Of the independ-
'ence of Belgium from a political,
military and economical standpoint,
and it demands that a resolution be
taken. having as a peace basis the
substitution in the future Of the
moral force of right in place of the
material force of arms. This Is

EXEMPTION ASKED
FOR N. Y. POLICEMEN
Protection of Port Urged as Reason
by Commissioner Enright.

Police Commissioner Enright, of
New York City. yesterday conferred
with Secretary Baker relative to the
exemption from military service OF men
who have already been called to the
colors from the ranks OF the police
OF New York City. He also discussed
the possibility of exemption for men
who will be called to the army during
the coming six months.
Following the conference Secretary
Baker stated that he was unable TO
give Commissioner Enright assurances
that exemptions can be granted. He
stated. however. that the matter is
now under consideration.
Because of the failure OF various
mine operators. railroads and NUM-
tion plants to gain exemptions for
men employed in guarding their prop
critics. it is held in some quarters
here that there is little possibility
that an exception to the previous
rulings OF the Provost Marshal Gen
erals Office will be made in the case
Of New York City.
II is understood that Commissioner
EnriEht pointed out the great dangers
which menace the war program Of the
government at a port of the impor-
tance and extent Of New York. He
believes that only by the use of highly
skilled and trained men can the gov
eminent stores and embarkatiOn IA
cilities Of the government be made
safe. He laid great stress upon the
excellent work accomplished by his
forces in the past six months in pre-
venting sabotage in and about New
