GERMANY'S WAR AIMS. GERMAN CHANCELLOR DECLINES TO INDICATE THEM

At the sitting of the German Reichstag on May the 15th the Imperial Chancellor, Dr. von Bethniann-Hollweg, made the following speech:

I will not pursue a policy which would bo the basest ingratitude towards the heroic deeds of our people as the front and at home. It would permanently.. weigh down our people in all conditions of life, down to the Bumblest worker, and would be equivalent to surrendering the future of the Fatherland.

When giving permission for a free dis- cussion concerning, our war aims I ex pressly declared that the Government could not and would not take part in any controversy. I also protested against any positive conclusion whatever as to the Government's attitude being drawn from the Government's silence.
INGRATITUDE.
The programme of conquest is as little helpful in achieving victory and ending the war as a programme of renunciation. On the contrary, in doing so I should only be playing the game of the hostile rulers and making it easier for them fur- ther to dupe their war-weary peoples into Thut also would be biase ingratitude au imcasurable prolongation of the war, towards our warriors near Arras and on the Aisne.
