argue for and against the ratification

WOULD STIMULATE HUNS

Washington, p. G. Feb. 27.-Count
Won Hertling's speech In the reichstae
Monday, continuing the discussion
Of the war aims 81 the belligerent pow
ers, has not changed the situation In
the opinion Of high officials here. In
stead OF marking an advance toward
peace, it is regarded rather as de1fb
erately calculated to strengthen the
hands of the German militaristfc party
by endeavoring to convince the Ger
man proletariat OF the impracticable
nature OF President Wilson'S aims as
disclosed in his last address to con
gress on February II. ~, 's.s 4.
Not Practical Method Claim.
While stating his readiness to &C,
cept the presidents four fundamental
principles for a.sbasis of peace, the
German chancellor dismissed them as
idealistic and unavoidable by insisting
that they must depend for their ap'
plication upon the Ventilation Of con
ditions which cannot be met. In the
official view his treatment Of the sub
ject was ironical and designed for
very different ends than the advance
ment of peace. f. f.
No Comment Expected.
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribution
to the debate on war aims and peace
aspirations. Experience has taught
officials that. important qualifications
are to be found usually in the full text
of the speeches OF the spokesman Of
the central powers =

Attention was directed by officials to-
President Wilson's former character.
iZation of the German chancellor's ut
terances as 'very vague and confus-
ing" and it was said that the presi-
dents comment had peculiarly ap-
propriate application to the speech of
yesterday, in which Won Hertling sig
nified his fundamental agreement with
President Wilson's four principles.
President Wilson in his last ad-
dress to congress said of the chan
cellor's speech delivered a few days
before: 'fa
"His discussion and acceptance of
our general principles lead him to no
practicable conclusions. He refuses to
apply them to the substantial items
which must constitute the body Of any
final settleme nt.'
