I He demanded that "encmv lead-j ers" set forth "new proposals." ( 'I ho Ctcrman Chancellor 'm oft-rost-j poncd and eagerly awaited rpeccli , was delivered to the Reichstag com- mittce Thursday afternoon.. "Un January o tho period expired ' for co-operation nmong the Kntente looking toward a general peace," Ilertling said in opening. "After that that Germany was no loirger b"und I !yher offer to the Entente. She had n free patli to pursue bcparato peace ngotiatioiiR. I.LOYD GEORGE'S Sl'EECL' 'Since then war aims bpcccl'cs liavo been delivered by Premier Lloyd George and President Wilson. Lloyd George hhowed an alteration in tone. He no longer abused us, but lie showed an inclination for ne-. lrotiationi,, Hut 1 cannot go bO far US tho (foreipi journals, whiclulunc' j :.. 4i... V iV-rSlSMftrAri! read in the hpeech'auSriet"(Tes!ro for peace, or oven friendly feelings low aril us. "In declaring ho does not seek the annihilation of Germany and never entertained a desire to destroy us, hu even used words of apprecia tion of Germany's political und cultural position. "But Ills other utterances force tlie conviction that he believes him self entitled to adjudge the Germans guilty of all possible crimes. "Wo cannot understand such feel ings, nor can we find in them any tiroof of a sincere will. WILSON'S TONE DIFFERENT "I acknowledge that President Wilson's tone i.s now different from what it was before his attempt, by means of the American reply to tho Pope, to sow dissension between tho German Gocrnmcnt and the Ger man people. "lie no longer talks of autocratic suppression of the German people by the Government, and his former attack upon the Hohciuollerns is not repeated." Commenting on President Wilson's war aims bpeecli tho German Chancellor asserted: "On tho first four points an agree ment is obtainable without difficulty. "On tho fifth thcro will be some difficulty. It chiefly concerns Eng land, but President Wilson's pro posals could bo taken into considera tion respecting tho colonies de manded by Germany. "The sixth concerns only Russia B nnd the Central Powers. "Tho seventh can only be bellied hi peace negotiations, but Germany 1 lias never demanded tho incorpora tion of Belgian territory by violence. "On tho eighth point, Germany does not wish annexations by vjo Jence, but this is a question only to fhe discussed by Franco und Ger many. MUM ON ALSACE-LORRAINE " However, wo cannot talk on the cession of Alsace-Lorraine, 87 per wnt of whose population speak German. "On tint ninth nnd tenth nnlnts Germany remains solidly with tria-Hungury. (Hero there wus un omission, either an excision by the German censor or nn undecipherable phrase.) "As to tho fourteenth point, Ger many will bo ready, wheh'all other questions are bottled, to discuss" a league of peoples."
