KAISER'S VIEW OF PEACE AS
TOLD BY HIS SPOKESMAN
Francs Must F.ret Bend the Knee, New
Cermsn Envoy Says.
Until France and her allies admit
that France has been beaten by Oor
ninny the Inst named country will con
tinue to tight This statement Is cred
Ited by the New Vork Times to flerr
U. von Eckhardt, the newly appointed
Gorman minister to Mexico, lis said
that the aduilsslou by France that she
nail been beaten was the first condi
tion of peace, so fur as the German
government was concerned.
lien- vou Eckhardt told of conver
sation he bad with the kaiser two days
before he left Herlln for New York.
The knlser. bo snld. displayed tho keen
est desire that the world should un
derstand that It was Itussla and
France and not Germany that had
suited the wnr and that It was Itussla
and France who had thrust the sword
Into Germany's hands.
"The euin-ror," snld Ilerr von Eck
hardt, "Insisted that be bnd done all
thut was In his power to maintain
peace In Europe. He was deeply seri
ous. However, tho kaiser Is not alarm
ed. He Is confident that victory will
be with German arms.
"The German army was In Brussels
ut tbe time when 1 bad this talk with
the kaiser, yet be was not carried
away, by that fact Instead be Insist
ed that the situation was very serious,
and be told me that everything he bad
done was with tho thought of peace In
mind and that, while be was working
with this end In view, Russia mobilis
ed and France bad begun hostilities
at Nuremberg and bombs had been
thrown. He holds Russia aud France
responsible for this conflict and the
reason thoso two countries wanted
wnr was because tbey did not wish
Germany to play a too Important role
In the world."
With reference to the atrocities that
hare been blamed on tbe Germans,
Ilerr von Eckhardt said he bad seen no
proofs of them.
"What about the possibility of an
early peace In Europe?" be was asked.
it Is tho wish of Germany, as well
as of the whole world," he replied,
that there shall bo pence. But It must
come, and this I assure you, with hon
orable conditions for the German em
pire. First and foremost tbe most Im
portant condition of peace must be tbe
acknowledgment that we are victorious
In Franca, that we have won In Franca
Until It Is admitted that Germany has
defeated France Germany will con
tinue to fight
"Furthermore, when peace Is restor
ed It must be with tbe guarantee that
never will more wars come."
