MICHAELIS TELLS WHAT ALLIES WANT Chancellor Recites What He Declares to Have Been Peace Demands of Kaiser's Foes Early in Game. MUSTER IN CO. E OF "LUCKYSEVENTH" First Company of the Nebraska National Reserve Guard Takes Oath Given by the State. Ihe Omaha battalion of the "Lucky" Seventh regiment, Nebraska National Reserve Guard, is formally under way. Company E, the first of four com panies to be recruited here, was mus tered jnto the service last night with seveniy-eignt men present or ac counted for. This company having been technically completed, the re cruiting of Companies F, G and H will proceed as rapidly as oossible. Under the comman of F. W. Hig- guisuii uie company was musisrea into the service by Captain J. if. Leidy of the adjutant general s c partment. It was a splendid body of men who gathered at company headquarters, 1612 Farnam street, to take the oath that made them soldiers of the state and of the nation, pledged to answer the call of president or governor in the behalf of iheir country. Most of them were young men, many whose dependent wives or . other relatives prevented their enlisting for inline que; overseas service, others mere boys hardly out of high school But here and there was to be seen a man well over the draft age who had en listed in the company, eager to "do his bit, by replacing the guardsmen who have teen called into federal service. Not a man of the seventy-eight but was anxious for the sterner service in France not a rnan but who, had circumstances permitted, would have been more than willing to rWs his life with the rata who are to see. for eign service. - "Maybe they will need us yet,'1, one orivate wistfully sighed. "And if they do," he ladded, "I guess that I can find a way' to care for my wife while I am gone." And not one of the guardsmen who heard the remark but voted art em phatic "Aye. Company E U already assuming the resemblance to a real military organization. Its quad formations have been completed, non-commissioned officers named and a company quartet formed. During rest periods last night the songs of the four joy ous youths made the drill room ring and set feet to moving and shoulders to swaying. Men of the company will meet at headquarters at 7:30 o'clock Tues day and Friday evenings for ninety minutes of drill. The men in charge are certain that it will be but a few weeks until the "rough places" are worn away and that an efficient and well drilled company of men will be ready to take the place of one of the organizations that is to help fight the real battles of the nation.

What is purport ed to be a verbatim report of the speech of the imperial German chan cellor, Dr. Michaelis, received by the British admiralty per Wireless Press and through Reuter's Hague corre spondent, in part follows: "As regards our enemies, their num ber has increased since the adjourn ment of the Reichstag by three, name ly, Siam, Liberia and China.' These Loumnes nave no convincing reason for enmity against us. They acted solely under pressure of the entente and the United States, the latter hav ing great influence over Liberia and China. We have made it clear to these countries that we shall bring them to account for the damage done under international law to German in terests." After referring to the solidity of Germany and its allies, the chancellor rend a telegram from Field Marshal von Hindenburg, declaring that the military situation was more favorable for Germany than ever. The chan cellor added: " Successes on Land. "Our successes on land correspond with our success on the sea. In the month of July, according to the latest reports received, Uo.UUU tons of sh d ping were sunk. When we take into consideration our results on the one hand and the failure of our enemies on the other, it appears to be incom- prenensibie that our enemies show no disposition to prepare the way for consideration of terms of peace, not to mention peace which includes re nunciation, i.t .Li. .. . . i was.aoie recently to snow by in formation regarding a Franco-Russian secret treaty what far-reaching war aims r ranee naa ana how f.ngland supported French desires for German land. Only recently a member of the British cabinet declared that there would be no peace until the German armies had been thrown across the Rhine. I now am able to show that further arrangements were made by the enemy regarding their war aims, some of the details of which were al ready made known to the committee on an earlier occasion. I proceed in chronological order: Peace Demands Made. "On September 7, 1914, the enemy coanuon aecmea only to conclude a joint peace. On March 4. 1915. Russia made the following peace demands, of wnicn tngiana approved by note on March 12, and France by note of the same date, namely: Russia to receive Constantinole, with the European shore of the straits; the southern part of Thrace as far as the Enos-Midia line; the islands m the Sea of Mar mora, the islands of Imbros and Ten- edos and on the Asia Minor side the peninsula between the Black Sea, the Bosphorus and the Gulf of Ismaila as far as the River Sakarieh. in the east This basis was laid down and the ne gotiations continued their course in 1915-16. In the course of them Russia obtained the promise of the Armenian vuiayets of Trebizond and Kurdistan and Messina and the hinterland ex tending northward as far as Sivas and Kharput. 4 England's Share. "England's share was to be Meso potamia and the rest of Turkev in Asia was. to be divided into English ana trencn spheres ot interest. Palestine was to be internationalized and the other districts inhabited by the Turks and Arabs, including Arabia proper and the holy places of islam, were to be formed into a so. f r . j . . . . ,. t- . 1 icucrauun oi siaies unuer critisn suzerainty. When Italy entered the war she demanded her share of the booty. Fresh negotiations were opened, which in no wise pointed at renuncia tions. I think we shall have further details about them which will be pub iisnea later. With such far reachine enemv war aims it may be jinderstood why Mr. Balfour lately stated that he did not consider it advisable to make a de tailed statement on the war colic v of the government Those are the bot tom facts as they appear to us at the present moment, when we envisage the possibility of concluding peace." Germany Makes Overtures For Argentine Friendship Zurich, Aug. 24.
