Just as soon be a sailor.

little while. The people here seem
% be all beggars and are SO ragged
hat | should think they would
freeze to death. as it is pretty cold
acre already. We are sleeping in
tents yet rs we have not gotten TO
our destination yet. But | don't
mind that after the voyage on the
ocean. | am feeling fine here with
IL the rain. We have good food,
but not like we had in the states.

Schcidcmann's reply TO the Cnancei-
lor. as Published in tho Bcrlincr Nor-
wacrtS. follows:
Two chief arguments were advanced
by the militarist party for the pro-
Ionsation OF the war-namcly, the sue
cess Of tho U-poats and the strength
or our army. But these were II have
given us a decisive victory ia six
months. according TO the announcement
made in 1916. Alas! that period has
long since passed. and while tho E-boat
has admittedly harmed England enor-
mouslv. its chief visible effect has been
the entry OF America into the war.

Regarding relations between Ger
many and Austria. Herr Schcidemann
sa id an indication OF the Austrian feel
ing toward the present German regime
might be gathered from tho fact that
during the recent demonstrations i'll
Vienna the Austrian Emperor was
never once attacked by speakers. bat
that the German Emperor was openly
and repeatedly insuited. This was due,
he said. to attacks of the German junk
crs on Austria. lie declared tho Junkcr
press had been demanding that Ger
many should be freed from Austria"
Touching on President Wilson'S peace
terms. Herr Schcidemann said:
Regarding Alsace. there is nothing
eor US TO redress. II will remain ours.
But as for Belgium. let US cease med
ding in Flemish politics.
Let us seek in honor TO save the
world from new bloodshed in the
spring. Let IFS give up illusions on
both sides. Remember that the feeling
among our people is most serious. IL
