THE PEACE QUESTION.
Another Speech by the derman Chavcelior.
Copenhagen, Oct 23.
A message from Berlin states: When the Reichstag reassembled the Chancellor in a speech said that the whole- of the German people were anxious to hear the, Govetament's view of their prospects of success in the pance effort The President's first answer to the German Gdveżnment's peace move brought the question of a peace of justice or a peace of violence to the forefront in all countries. He hoped Pre- sident Wilson's next daawer would set doubts to rest Until then the German people must prepare for both eventualities, "either that the enemy Governments were anxious for war, in which case the Germans would fight defensively with all the force of a people driven to the last extremity, ur for going to the conference table. In the latter case the ver man people were entitled to ask what a peace based on President Wilson's conditions means for Germany's future. That was a question of stupendous import, for it was hot, Germany's strength that would decide what was right, but the 'decision would result from what was thought right in a free discussion with their opponents. That was a gra. effort for a proud people accustomed to victory! It had been represented to him that the acceptance of President Wilson's conditions would mean the submission of questions of legality, to an anti: German court of justice. If that was so why, asked the Chancellor, did the extreme apostles of force in the Extente fear the Council Chamber as the guilty feared a Court of Justice?
Why the Repy was Delayed,
Paris, Ort 21,
The reason for the delay of the German reply to Presi deat Wilson is that von Hindenburg is trying to show that the military position has improved by the shortening of the front. Although it is clear that the Germans are not offer- " ing much resistance to the evacuation of the Belgian coast - it has caused an immense sensation in Germany, who though vitally interested in getting an armistice, is not reconciled to the idea of paying the penalty for her crimes-Heras,
