REICHSTAG ADOPTS
PEACE RESOLUTION
Lawmakers Vote Majority Pro
gram Despite Chancellor's
Speech; Large War Credit
Also is Voted.
(Br A Mod ted Press.)
Copenhagen, July 21. After Im
perial Chancellor Michaelis had de
clared that Germany would not con
tinue the war a day longer if it could
obtain an honorable peace, the Reich
stag adopted the majority peace reso
lution calling for peace without an
nexation or indemnities and passed
without discussion the third reading
of the war credit bill for 15,000,000
marks.
U. S. Causes No Concern.
Chancellor Michaelis in his address
declared America's intervention was
not regarded with serious concern
The German fleet, particularly ' the
submarines, would master the situa
tion, he said.
"We look without serious concern
upon the optimistic sentiment in the
entente countries caused by Amen
ca's intervention," the chancellor
stated. It is easy to reckon how much
tonnage is necessary to transport an
army from America to Europe, how
much tonnage is required to feed such
an army. France and England are
scarcely able to feed and supply their
own arnncs wunoui lorcing
economic situation still further.
"After our previous success we shall
be able to master this situation also
through our fleet, particularly the sub
marines. 1 hat is our firm conviction
and assurance. We and our allies,
therefore can look forward to any
further development of military
events with calm security.
Mobilization Meant Waf.
Although English statesmen knew,
as shown by their Blue Book, that
Russian mobilization must lead to
war with Germany, they addressed
not a word of warning to Russia
against military measures, while my
predecessor, in instructions July 29,
1914, to the ambassador at Vienna,
directed him to say that we would
willingly fulfill our duty as an ally,
but must refuse to permit ourselves
to be involved in a world war through
Austria -Hungary disregarding our
counsels. . -..
"The man who wishes tg kindle a
world war does not write like this,
but a man who is laboring and has
labored for peace to the utmost.
"The concentration of the Russian
army compelled Germany to seize the
sword. ,
"There was no choice left to us and
what is true of the war itself is true
also of our weapons, particularly the
submarine. We deny the accusation
that the submarine warfare is con
trary to international law and vio
lates the rights of humanity.
"England forced this weapon In our
hands through an illegai blockade.
England prevented neutral trade with
Germany and proclaimed a war of
starvation. Our faint hope that
America, at the head of the neutrals,
would-check English illegality was
vain and the final attempt we made
by an honorably intended peace offtr
to avoid the last extremity failed.
"Then Germany had to choose this
. last measure as a counter measure of
self-defense. Now also it must carry
it through for the purpose of short
ening the1 war. The submarine war
Is accomplishing all and more than
all it is expected to.
"It impairs England's economic life
and the conduct of the war month to
month in a growing degree so that
it will not be possible to oppose the
necessity for peace much longer. We
' can look forward to the further labors
of the brave submarine with complete
confidence. . ...
How Much Longer?
"The burning question in our
hearts, however, is now much longer
the war is to last. With this com
plex matter which stands i:t the cen
ter of all our interest and all our pro
ceedings today, Germany did not de
sire the war in order to make vio
lent conquests and therefore will not
continue the war a day longer merely
for the sake of such conquests, if it
could obtain an honorable peace.
"The Germans," he said, "wish to
conclude peace as combatants who
have successfully accomplished their
purpose and proved themselves in
vincible. A condition of a peace was
the inviolability of Oermany a tern
tory. No parley was possible with
the enemy demanding the cession of
German soil. '
"We must by means of understand
ing in a spirit of give and take, guar
antee conditions of the existence of
the German empire upon thj continent
Peace Only Victor.
Dr. Michaelis' words on this point
require a careful reading and are
capable of various interpretations
other than a suriace one. rlis uer
man indicates a willingness to make
peace only as victors; in his use of the
words "understanding" and "give and
take (the Uerman words "ver
staendiKunjtM und "auseleich").
He revives the Bethmannjc ideas of
readjustment of the frontiers and
colonial possessions on bargaining
rather than the restoration of the
status quo. Peace, he said, must offer
the foundation of a lasting recon
ciliation of nations. Loud cheers
greeted this statement.
" It must, be continued, "prevent
nations from being plunsed into fur-
' ther enmity through economic block
ades and provide a safeguard that
the league in the arms of our op
ponent does not develop into an
economic offensive alliance against us.
- Must Hold Out.
"We cannot again offer peace. We
have loyally stretched out our hands
once. It met no response, but with
the entire natkm and with Germany,
the army and its leaders in accord
with this declaration the government
feels that if ourjsnemies abandon their
lust for conquest and their aims at
subjugation and wish to enter into
negotiations we shall listen honestly
and readily for peace to what they
k have to say to us. Until then we
must hold out calmly and patiently.
"The present time is in regard to
food conditions the most severe we
have experienced and in the month of
July has been the worst Drouth has
delayed and want exists in many cases,
but I can declare with glad confidence
that relief will shortly set in and the
population can then be supplied more
adequately." ;
"What wc long to attain," the chan
cellor went on, "is a new and splendid
Germany, not 4 a Germany which
wishes as our enemies believe, to ter
rorize the world with its armed might;
no, the morally ourifi-d. Gorf-farinr i
loyal and mighty Germany which we'
all love. For this, Germany we shall
fight and endure. For this Germany
we and our brothers out there will
bleed and die. For this (Germany we
shall fight our way through despite
all force."
Aa Appreciative Hearing.
Dr. Michaelis address was given a
courteous and appreciative hearing
except for occasional socialist inter
jections. The conservatives sat silent while
the chancellor was making his refer
ence to peace, but began interrupting
and challenging statements of opposi
tion members when the latter took
the floor, singling out Herr Scheid
mann and Herr Fehrenbach for par
ticular attention.
The delav of the chancellor in in
stituting cabinet conditions has caused
some unfavorable sentiment to de
velop in the Reichstag. His course is
interpreted as a move to prevent any
parliamentary criticism or contro
versy over the new appointments by
deferring announcement of them un
til the Reichstag is no longer in ses
sion.
WOMEN DO WORK
IN BRITISH ARMIES
Feminine Contingent Gradually
Growing and Pressing
Nearer to Fighting
Front. .
FINE SPIRIT MARKS

Expeditionary Force Gets Dowr
To Real Work of Training
With Vim That It
Surprising.
Or Amoclkted Pre.)
British Headquarters in France,
July 21. The feminine section of the
British army is growing larger day
by day.
Khaki-clad young women, at first
confined to the Red Cross section of
the field army, are rapidly pushing
into many departments of army ac
tivity, displacing men, who in turn
are passed along to work nearer the
front line trenches.
Every boat coming from England
brings new companies of women
workers. At first their work was
mostly at the remote bases, but now
they may be found working further
and further afield, sometimes within
hearing distance of the guns. In the
clerical departments at the chief
bases women have very largely dis
placed men. As chauffeurs they are
being employed by hundreds, not only
on ambulances and light supply
wagons, but also on heavy transport
orries, and with entire success.
Women Carpenters.
Six hundred young women car
penters are at work building army
huts. They have only six weeks of
instruction and preparation in Eng
land before crossing the channel.
Their work here is practically "shop
work." ,
The huts are of the new semi-cyl-
inderical Canadian type, which is be
ing turned out by the thousands in
knock-down form, every hut exactly
alike. The young women wear a neat
uniform of regulation khaki, with
short shirt and knickers, and a sleeve
badge showing an army half com
pleted. Each sirt has to know only one
small part of the whole process of
hut building; each day she repeats
the same operation: whether it be
with saw, hammer or plane, and then
passes on the work to the next opera
tive."
The housing of the women workers
has been accomplished without par
ticular difficulty, borne units are in
huts, others billeted in hotels. Each
unit has its own supervisory officers
and chaperons. While at work it is
under command of young women
lieutenants , who act their part as
smartly as any British subaltern with
the actual fighting forces.
(Bjr Associated Prea.)
American Training Camp in France,
July 20. "Whenever you write home
whether in a private letter or to any
newspaper tell them we are doing
finely and that no army ever had a
finer spirit or was more confident
of winning." "
"I have handled troops for a good
many years and under varied condi
tions, but never had a finer set of
men, never a more enthusiastic lot
than now. It has been a revelation
to me to see the splendid spirit that
has prevailed since we landed and it
augers well for the part America is
to play in tjie war that its initial troops
take hold with a vim that is going to
prove irresistable."
The first quotation is from a com
partively greerf trooper, the second
from a seasoned officer. Both were
made independently to the Associated
Press within a few moments of each
other yesterday. Both illustrate the
wondertul esprit de corps prevailing
throughout the first American con
tingent an esprit de coros which has
evoked the enthusiatic approval of the
trench.
The American soldiers mingling with
them do not appear to underestimate
in the slightest the seriousness and
earnestness of the task before them
but from the newest rooky to the old
est sergeant they are going through
their daily drill, performing their
daily work with dash, vim and cheer
fulness and willingness that has come
as genuine to the correspondent who
spent the. first two years of the war
on the uerman 6ide with ample op
portunities to witness the perfunction
arv Qualities of the German soirit.
Thus far there has not been one
single soldier who boastfully under
takes to underestimate his opponer)
but likewise no one has made his
appearance who is not supremely
hopeful and confident in the final out
come. The fine spirit prevailing, is
evident on every side. The discipline
is excellent and there is an absolute
lack of complaint. The troops are
taking their training with cheerfulness
and are adapting themselves to the
novelty of billeting and living under
unprecedented conditions necessarily
imposed by living in a stranger's
house.
The troops are engaged in work
almost entirely strange to them, yet
the officers say they have made en
tirely unexpected progress, which not
only is a good augury for the balance
of the army, but is due largely to the
entnusiasm prevailing in eacn com
pany and regiment.

General Goethals declined to dis

knew nothing about them.
Chairman Denman of the shipping

General Goethals were rapidly clear

at any time since the disagreement

$7,500 worth of these rugs are offered in discontinued
patterns. They are made from extra heavy Saxony yarns and
are noted for their high silky pile and excellent wearing quali
ties. A splendid lot of rich patterns in blues, brown and rose,
in Oriental designs, are in this sale. We may say that "Hart
ford Saxony" Rugs have the nearest appearance to a genuine
Oriental rug of any machine-made product. They are not
sized, are very heavy, lay close to the floor and will not slip.
In this large assortment we are offering rugs that are suitable
for large Living Rooms, Dens, Dining Rooms, or the Office.
Many can be matched in small rugs, which are also sold at a
discount. -
