Hertling Declares Entente Can
not Mate Explanations
When Neutral Nation is
Under Allied Yoke.
Copenhagen, Monday, March 18.
Chancellor von Hertling, on the first
reading in the Reichstag of the peace
treaty with Russia today, declared
that he did not wish to discuss the
opinions of Germany's enemies re
garding the treaty. '
"Hypocrisy" the chancellor added,
"has become second nature to the
enemy, whose untruthfulness is made
worse by its brutality. Every attempt
at calm explanation and every real
deliberation must fail, when the en
emy, at the very moment they are
laying a heavy hand on a neutral
country,' darc to speak of a policy
guided by complete unselfishness.
"The treaty with Russia contains nn
conditions disgraceful to Russia, if the
provinces breaking away from Rus
sia say it is in accordance with their
own wish and the wish is atcepted
Allies Blamed for War.
lhe imperial chancellor declared
that Lourland and Lithuania were
united to Germany politically and
economically and militarily and
addsd:
"Ovonia and Esthonia are the east
ern frontiers fixed by the treaty, but
we hope th.at they also will have close
and friendly relations with Germany,
riot, however, to the exclusion of their
friendly relations with Russia. Po
land is not mentioned in the treaty
and we shall endeavor to see if it' is
possible to live in stable and good
neighborly relations with the new
state.
"If the Reichstag adopts the peace
treaty, peace on the whole eastern
front will be restored, as I announced
February 24, but among the entente
powers there is not the least inclina
tion to finish this terrible war. The
responsibility for bloodshed will be
upon the heads ot those who wisn
continuation qf the bloodshed.'

t ' '
Moscow, Saturday, March 16.
President Wilson's message to the
Russian people is very significant and
is a limited recognition of the soviet
government, in the opinion of the non
socialist and conservative newspaper
Ranneye Outro. The message shows
the determination of the United
States not to interfere in Russian in
ternal affairs, adds the newspaper,
which continues:
"In the. grave days there is. great
moral support in the firm intention
of the powerful trans-Atlantic repub
lic to obtain for Russia complete sov
ereignty and independence in her own,
affairs. The United States, which
was declared to be capitalistic by the
bolshevik proves faithful to the prin
ciples proclaimed by her, and the sin
cerity of her position was acknowl
edged by the bolshevik! in the hearty
reception the sov-ict congress gave to
the president's- message.". . ..
