Declares Ex-Chancellor Michaelis of For
mer German Government.

Berlin Monday, Aug. II (By the AS
sociated Press DR.. George Michaelis,
former imperial chancellor, has sent to
German newspapers a statement, declar-
ing he did not refuse to negotiate with
England through Pope Benedict in 1917,
as has been alleged by Premier Baur in
recently published statements. Premier
Bauer has made public letter from DR..
DR.. Michaelis to Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, dated Sept. II, 1917, seeking to
prove that there was refusal to meet
England with view to making peace at
that time.
The former chancellor declares that in
making public the letter, the premier
suppressed one important part This
section, DR.. Michaels included with his
statement to the press. 1t follows;
"Who will venture to attack Germany
again after she has maintained herself
three or four years against superior pow
er, and lately, as an Incompatible proof
of her competence, has achieved bril-
liant victory in the east? If we, on the
above basis, were able to obtain peace
for our poor, tortured people and the
world, then we ought to do it, and not
conduct this war one moment longer"
DR.. Michaelis concludes his statement
by saying that had his complete letter
been published, the representatives of
the government would not have con.
vinced a portion of their party that he
had refused a peace offer in an irrespon-
sible manner"

Prague, Monday, Aug. IL (By the As

led generally by the social democratic
element, in protest against the coup

did not wish to embarrass them further

in violation of the armistice.

mate the Austrian and Hungarian states
into an intensely autocratic government,
which will become the center of auto
cratic propaganda in central Europe. AS
Archduke Joseph is Hapsburg, Czecho-
slovakian officials hope the United States
will use its influence in preventing the
new regime from succeeding. They base
their hope on the fact that government

feeling exists here that the close rela

with the present Hohenzollern occupant

FRENCH ARMY SAME AS 1914.
When the Present Demobilization Plans
Are Completed.

Paris, Monday, Aug. IL French Wire
less Service) -Demobilization of the mil
itary organization built up by France
during the war is proceeding, and when
it is completed the organization will be
the same as in 1914 before the outbreak
of the war. The French army, if present
plans are not changed, will comprise the
2l corps Of 1914 and two corps created
during the war.
The three army groups and the nine
separate armies which made up the
French military organization at the end
of hostilities has been decreased until the
army group of General Fayolle, the ar
mics of occupation commanded by Gen
eral Mangin and General Gerard respec-
lively and the army of General Gouraud
in Alsace are all that remain. The army
commanded by General Margin will be
maintained in the Rhine provinces in
compliance with the provisions Of the
peace treaty.
In the peace army the q army corps
will have their headquarters in the same
cities as before the war, except in some
parts of the devastated district of north
eastern France. The 2lst corps at Epi-
nal, the 7th corps at Besancon Belfort,
the 9th corps at Chalons sur Marne and
the Goth corps at Nancy, will supply
troops for garrison in Alsace and Lor-
raine. When the temporary occupation
of German territory is completed, the
military organization probably viii un-
dergo further changes and Alsace and
Lorraine will each have an army corps
with headquarters at Strassburg and
Metz.
