plea from labor of America aching
that the caso be taken from the
hands of the state of California by
Woodrow Wilson as Commander in
Chief of the United States forces

labor to the present step.

PEACE AND WAR
TALK IN REICHSTAG
LONDON, June 26—Full-r re
ports concerning the speech of von
Kuohlman show that while he un
questionably held out tho olive
branch, it was dono in so careful
a manner that it might also be con
sidered a war speech and as his
talk was followed by an address
from von Hertling which mullified
affirmative proposals the addresses
literally moan that domestic senti
ment not foreign was tho cause of
tho peace talk, this showing that the
situation in Germany is intensifying.
Kuelilman declared that it was
useless to talk of p--aca because
parliaments could not move in that
direction and diplomatic channels
were all block' tl by the Allies. The
Foreign Secretary did state that as
far as Germany was concerned how
ever ho coud say that she wished
to live within the frontiers traced
by the hand of histcry upon the
map of Europe for them, they de
sired poss s, ion of colcn’al posses
sions corresponding to Germany’s
greatness. “Regarding Belgium”
said Kuchlman I say nothing hut
this: “Germany does not wish to
bind her lia’ ds while our adver
saries aro silent.” The Foreign
Secretary declared that Russia was
the nation primaryily responsible
for the war.
Almost immediately after Kuehl
man had spoken Chancellor von
Hertling took charge and declared
that Kuehlman’s statements must
not be interperted to mean Ger
many’s intentions would paralyze
other pacificist actions. lb em
phatically declared that they wore
confident of victory on the battle
field and intimated that ‘'there
would bo no further discussion of
President Wilson’s four cardinal
principles for recce."
