He declared that it would be premature if he participated in these debates. 1 "To make promises of formulated,, detailed conditions in my position would bo unproductive and precarious," he i said. "Hostile leaders did this abundant-j ly," he added. "They gave extravag ant assurances to each other, but they only obtained by this action, deeper im-j ! plificntion in the war. j "Their example does not tempt me. What l could say about tne tendency also about tho aim of our conditions, I have said repeatedly: "To determine the war by a lasting peace which grants us reparation for all wrongs suffered and guarantees the ex istence and future to a, strong (ier- many.

"One step further than the European I neutrals as has been known- has been : "England then killed sixteen thous and w omen nnd children out of 150,000, making thus 12 per cent of them vie tints of the barbarous Knglish war fare.

" " ' "As is generally known, we did not declare a blockade', but only established definite barred zones within which ev ery ship has to count with immediate attack! "That isolated ships escaped danger is therefore self-evident. Hut that does not change the total success. "This success we shall be able m obtain partly by sinking, partly by dis couraging neutral s. lipping which 1ms al ready happened in the wittiest sense.
