THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1918. 12 HERTLING DEMANDS IN PEACE SPEECH VEILED WITH GERMAN WAR AIMS Imperial Chancellor Tells Reichstag Discussion of Peace Possible, but Instantly Advances Teuton Ideals of Victorious End, Leaving Suspicious Tone to Allies; Text in Full. (By Associated Pratt.) The German imperial chancellor again has told the Reich stag that a general peace is possible of discussion on the basis of the four essential principles laid down some time ago by President Wilson in an address to congress. Almost in. the taroe breath, how-0 ever, trie usual quauncauons were entwined amid his utterances, leaving the suspicion that the central powers, if they are desirous of peace still have their old ideals of victorious peace to the fore. : COULD NOT TRUST COURT. Conditional upon the acceptance even of the principles of President ' Wilson was the declaration by Chan cellor von Hertling that they must not only be proposed by the president, bat actually be recognized by all states and peoples. In addition there was no court of arbitration in which Germany could place iti trust, he said. The old accusation .that Great Britain's war aims are imperialistic was reiterated by the chancellor. WORLD WANTS PEACE. , As if endeavoring to divide the sentiment of the people of Great Britain, the spokesman for the Ger man 'government declared the world is . longing for peace, but that the governments of countries enemy to Germany were inflaming the passion for war. "There are," he added dramatically, "other voices to be heard in England. It is hoped these voices will multiply." Referring to President Wilson in his speech, the full text of which has been received, von Hertling said: "It has been repeatedly said that we do not contemplate retaining Belgium, but that we must be safeguarded from the danger of a. country with which w desire, after the war, to live in peace and friendship, becoming the object or the jumping off ground of enemy machinations. If the pro posal came from the opposing side, for example, from the government in Havre, we should not adopt -an antagonistic attitude, even though the discussion at first might only be unbinding. ; , To Use Cable.' "Meanwhile it does not appear as if Mr. Runciman's suggestion has a chance of assuming, tangible shape, and I must adhere to the existing methods of dialogue across the chan nel and ocean. - . "Adopting this method. I readily admit that President Wilson's mes sage of February 11 represents, per haps, a small step toward a mutual rapprocHment, I, therefore, pass over the preliminary and excessively long declarations in order to address my self immediattfy to the fOufpHnci pies which, in President Wilson's opinion, must be applied in a mutual exchange of views. "The first clause says that each part of the final settlement must be based upon the essential justice, of that particular case, and upon such adjustments as are most likely to bring a peace that will be permanent. Justice to AIL "Who, would contradict this? The phrase coined by the great father of the church, Augustine, 1,500 years ago vJustitia Fundamentum Regnorum is still valid today. Certain it is that only peace based in all its parts on the principles of justice has a prospect of endurance,- "The second clause expresses the desire that peoples and provinces shall not be bartered about from sovereignty to' sovereignty as though they were mere chattels and pawns in a game, even the great game, now forever discredited, of the balance of power." s ' . "This clause, too, can be uncondi tionally assented to. Indeed, one wonders that the president of the United States considered it necessary to emohasize it anew. This clause contains a polemic against conditions . . 1 I t l.; -4 loner vanished, views against cabinet politics and cabinet wars, against mix ing state territory and princely and private property, which belongs to j,ast that is far behind us. Serene in Germany. 1 do not want to be discourteous, but when one remembers the earlier utterances of President Wilson, one might think that he is laboring under the illusion that there exists in Ger many an antagonism between an au tocratic government and a mass of people without rights. "And yet President Wilson knows as, at any rate-, the German edition of his book on the state proves German political literature, and he knows, therefore that with us princes and governments are the highest members of the nation as a whole, organized in the form of a state, the highest members, with whom the final decision lies. But, seeing that they also, as the supreme organs belong to the whole, the decision is of such a nature that only the welfare of the whole is the guiding line for a decision to be taken. It may be useful ex pressly to point this. out to President Wilson's countrymen. Balance of Power. "Then, finally, at' the close of the second clause, the game of the bal ance of power is declared to be for ever discredited. We, too, can only gladly applaud. As is well known it was England who invented the princi ple of maintenance of the balance of power, in . order especially to apply it when one of the states on the European continent threatened to become too powerful for her. It was only another expression for England's domination. . "The ; third clause, according to which every territorial settlement in volved in this war must be made in the interest and for the benefit of the population concerned and not as part of any mere adjustment or compro mise of claims among rival states, is only the application of the foregoing in a, definite direction, or a deduction from it, and is therefore included in the assent given to that clause. ; Fourth Principle O. K. , "Now in' the fourth 'clause,' he de , snands that all well defined national aspirations shall be accorded the ut most satisfaction that can be accorded them without introducing new or per petuating old elements of discord and antagonism that would be likely in time to break the peace of Europe and, consequently, of the world. Here, also I can give assent in principle, and I declare therefore, with President Wil son, that a general peace on such a basis is discussable. "Only one reservation is made. These principles must not be pro posed by the President of the United States alone, but they must be also recognized definitely by all states and nations. President Wilson, who ap proaches the German chancellor with a certain amount of backwardness, seems to me in his flight of ideas to have hurried far in advance of ex isting realities. ELEVATOR MAN SAYS SHORTAGE, 0FCARSSER10US (From Staff Correspondent) Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 27. (Special.) But 60 cars were furnished to 49 average elevators in Nebraska last week, where 370 were needed to take care of the demand, according to J. W. Shorthill of York, one of the di rectors of the National Grain commis sion, who in a message to H. C. Hoover, national food administrator says: "The following statement is typical of grain movement: Forty-nine aver age country elevators loaded 60 cars last. week, but needed 370. At close of week seven contained 32,000 bushels of wheat and 24 had 260,000 bushels of corn, and 18 had 190,000 oats. TJiat rate shipments were made last week. Nebraska elevators could not be emptied by April 1, even though they were to receive no grain during that time, but far more grain is on the farms waiting cars than is in elevators and unless Nebraska gets at least three times the number of box cars that have been coming, serious loss will result before April 1. You will note that the state needed more than six times as many cars last week as were furnished. .Desire corn moved first, oats next, and wheat last." U: S.

Delegates from a num ber of states are attending. "Our duty is to keep the spirits of the men at a high pitch by doing more than our share of war work,'T Miss Parker told the conference.

In opening debate in the senate on the finance corporation bill, Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee aid the legislation was necessary because the government must control the money market in or der to finance the war. He denied that the measure would cause inflation of currency. With assurances of bi-partisan sup port, Chairman Simmons expects the senate to pass the measure, certainly by the end of the week.

South Side police are puzzled over Stanley Jurek, 15-year-old South Side boy, who was arrested early Tuesday morning charged with breaking into Welch's grocery store, 4705 South Twenty-fourth street, and stealing more than $100 worth of goods.' "He'll either grow into a saint or a sinner," decided Police Captain John Briggs, who quizzed the lad for an hour while the boy gave several false names. He insisted that he entered and robbed the sore alone, although . the evidence points to an accomplice. Police insisted that he was not able to carry the heavy step-ladder which he used tnd the loot alone, but the alleged burglar insisted. "I sure enough did it all alone, and I'll do it again just to show you," and so in the early dawn the boy dragged the heavy step-ladder more than a block in order to convince Captain Briggs that he was telling the truth. The police found young Jurek hid ing under a porch near the store he had entered. He had several sacks filled with a conglomeration of fruit, candy and Overshoes which had been taken from the store. The police thought that the Jurek boy, might be connected with .other robberies which were committed on the South Side last week and searched the home at 4224 South Twenty seventh street, but found no stolen articles. The boy's father, when aroused by the police, said that Stanley was-in bed, but when he entered the-bedroom he found the window open and the boy gone. The lad said he went to bed about 10 o'clock and , at -11 he got up, crawled through the win dow and . went down to the store, which he entered by breaking through a rear, window, high from the ground, which he reached by means of the step-ladder. The boy has been turned over to the juvenile authorities. .... More Buildings Soon For Fort Omaha School (From a Staff Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 27. (Special Telegraph.)

He is a kind, genial gentle man of the old school and is beloved by all who know him. The following interesting statement was made by him, in person fo Mr. G. F. Willis, international distributor of Tanlac, at Kuhlman-Chambliss's, recently. "I am 69 years old and always en joyed very good health up to about six years ago, when I suffered a nerv ous breakdown and my general health gradually failed me.

"I began readine about Tanlac when you first came here, but did not decide to try the medicine until I talked with a friend of mine. He . said it was the best thing he had ever taken, and that was sufficient proof to me. "I have just finished the first bot tle," continued Captain Patty, "and came here this morning not only to buy the second bottle, but to tell you just what it has done for me. I began enjoying my meals from the first few doses. My nervousness is gone and I can sleep like a child and alwavs wake up in the mornings ready for break fast and feeling refreshed. I am very fond of onions, but almost afraid to eat them because they always dis agreed with me so I could taste them for hours afterward. I ate one for dinner the other day and it aereed with me perfectly, and I felt no bad after-effects, whatever. I am begin ning to feel like a different man now . and am always going to keep this Tanlac on hand. It has done me more good than anything else in the medicine line I have ever taken. I certainly do recommend it to my friends. It is really remarkable." .
