AMSTERDAM. July 13-How the Ger

Germany is recorded by his favorite war
correspondent, the faithful Karl Rosner
OF the Berlin LokdidnsetOer.
One evening. after a busy day in sur
veying operations from a cf ain OF OBJ
servatlon posts. the Emperor. chatting
with his encourage. spoke with glowing
enthusiasm. says Rosner. of the time
when the forces now let loose on destruc-
ton would again be placed in the SER
vice OF peaceful pursuits. He sketched
farreact ing advances In the technical
domain. In physics. chemistry and sienti-
fic farming. The Emperor forecast that
all OF Germany's needs in nitrates would
be covered by extracting nitrate from
the air.
The Emperor then described the mar
vellous possibilities" OF the new gas mo-
tors and how purified waste waters from
metal works would serve to fertllize II

Chancellor's statement would be con-
fdential Such parts Of II as ho de-
Jared TO be confidential should DO treated
MS such, Herr Won Payer insisted, and
not get into the press as on former oc-
casions.
The Main Committee gave It's consent
to this.
After the Chancellors speech had
been delivered a general discussion took
place. Deputy FIschbeck. a Progressive,
said that II must be made clear that
the resignation OF DR.. Won Kuehlmann
as Foreign Secretary was not the result
OF Pan-German intrigues, and that the
appointment OF his successor was not
made at the request of those circles ana
not In the furtherance OF their policy.
The Deputy said that the Chancellor's
announcement OF adherence to his policy
was satisfactory. and that IL he carried
out tho promises he had made on this oc-
casion he. as well AS the new Foreign
Secretary, Admiral Won Hintze. would
have the support OF the Progressives
View of the Conservatives.
Count Won westarp, Conservative
member OF the Reichstag, said:
THE reasons given for Foreign Sec
rotary Won Kuehlmann's retirement were
decisive. The unfavorable effect Of his
speech was created more from what he
refrained from saying than by what he
said. Now. as before. / cannot approve
ofthe Chancellors internal policy. The
reply TO the Papal note was only
diplomatic act and had no place in the
Governments programme.
"Of course, we must all respond TO
every serious suggestion of peace nego-
tiations, but considerable reserve I'm ex-
,,NA al for rt al N
would be expedlent."
Count Won Westarp denied that he
and his friends had doomed the candi-
dacy Of Admiral Won Hintze to succeed
Won kuehlmann, and said:
I'VE have no prejudice. either good
or bad, with regard to the new State
Secretary. and we shall await his pol
Icy. II Ia desirable that Admiral Won
Hintze should in the main have the
closest cooperation with the supreme
army command. a point on which the
Chancellor lay such emphasis"

Serious peace proposals from the

WANTS BELGIUM KEPT
AS A NEUTRAL STATE
HertIing Reasserts 1t Is Held
Only for Bargaining.

CoPENHAGES. July 10 49, Denial that
Germany intended TO retain Belgium
was made by Count Won HertHng. the
German Imperial Chancellor. In the
course of his speech before the Reichstag
Main Committee on Thursday.
Tho present possession of Belgium
only means that we have pawn for
future negotiations the Chancellor said.
I'VE have no intention to keep Belgium
in any form whatever.
What We precisely want as expressed
by us on February "a. is that after the
war restored Belgium shall. as a self
dependent State, not be subject to any
body as vassal and shall live with
us IN good friendly relations.
II have held this point OF view from
the beginning in regard 10 Belgium and
I still hold il to-day. This. side of my
policy Is fully In conformity with the
general lines. the direction OF which /
yesterday clearly laid before you.
I'VE are waging the war as war OF
defence, as we have done from the very
beginning and every imperialstic ten
dency and every tendency to world domi-
nation has been remote from our minds.
What We want Is the inviolability OF
our territory. open air for the expan-
sion OF our people in the economic do
main. and, naturally. also security in
regard to the future. This Ia COM
pletely in conformity with my point of
view in regard to Belgium, but how this
point OF view can be established in de-
tail depends upon future negotiations.
and on this point I am unable to give
binding declarations"
A German official telegram received
here to-day says:
with regard to the statements msde
on Thursday by the Imperial Chancellor
In the main committee OF the ReiChstag
regarding Belgium a view has spread
among the public which may give rise to
misunderstanding. We are therefore
giving In full that part OF the Chancel-
lor's speech. He said
THE present possession of Belgium
only means We have a pawn for future
negotiations. We have no attention to
keep Belgium in any form whatever
"By the expression pawn is meant
that one does not intend to keep what
one has In ones hand as a pawn II nego-
;!atlons bring a favorable result"
