Policy Founded on Might Fails
Amsterdam* Aug. 23.?*4A
polity based on iriight alone and
and not on right is dooiried to
failure from the beginning,"
was the interesting admission
made by Dr. Richard von Kdulmann,
German imperial foreign
secretary, in his inauguration
speech to the main committee ol
the richstag yesterday.
Dr. von Kuehlmann laid down
the following programme:
First, the maintenance of cor
dial relations with the allies, and
second with the neutrals, "whose
rights and necessary conditions
of existance we should be most
careful to respect as far as com
patible with enemy trickery and
our own military needs.
"To arrest further defection of
important neutrals is an extreme
ly serious and important task confronting
us," said Dr. von Kuehlmann.
"We can only solve it
successfully by observing the
principle that in politics might
counts, but also right and that
only if we base our conduct on
both can we hope to achieve
lasting results.
"We have finally to consider
our relations with our enemies.
Although direct diplomatic relations
have been broken, public
opinion is not bound by frontiers
made by our guns and trenches.
It is our important duty to study
the psychology of our 'enemies,
to follow their intrigues and the
changing currents of public
opinion, so that our hand may
not be proffered when the spirit
of our enemies is hard and unbending,
and also so that sharp
words may not be said when the
ice on the other side is melting
and a conciliatory feeling is be
ginning to be shown."

The further statement is made
by the Committee on Public In

quotes, that since the entrance
of this country into the world
war, approximately 1,300,OOC
men have offered themselves foi
service in the Nation's fighting
forces. It further appears thai
duiing the time this country has
been a belligerent, 121,514 men
have volunteered for service in
the Navy and Marine Corps and
have been accepted. In the
Regular Army the increase has
been 190,347, and in the National
Guard 136,998, a total of 327,34E
enlistments in the Army branch
es, and a grand total of 448,85*3
in both Army and Navy. Even
this figure does not include all
who have been accepted foi
service since the United States
entered the war, for there have
been additions to the various
reserve corps, but these figures
are not all available. The larg
est single item is that of the 27,

The war that began three
years ago has brought us three
years nearer to peace. It has
done some other things.
It has brought us nearer to the

It has brought the old world tc
realize that the aristocracy ol
manhood is far better than the
aristocracy of birth.
It has taught the new worlc
that there is something highei
tban the making and spending
of money and that service tc
humanity is the noblest service
of all.
It has taught the whole work
the bitter lessons of adversity
and of the chastening hanc
which spares not those it loves.
Inhuman, cruel, ruthless san
guinary, awful in every aspec

Austria Wants An Early Peace. 5
, Copenhagen, Aug. 24?An
' Austria which is literally crying
1 for peace, which has discarded :
any thought of territorial ex
: pansion and is willing to buy its}
i way out of the war by territorial
sacrifices on the Italian front and
in Galicia; an Austria of frequent
! jfood riots, unable to last through
Another winter of war; an Ausi
tria whose population would rise
in revolution if any reasonable
, peace offer were rejected by the
government, is pictured by an
Intelligent Austrian who has arrived
here from Vienna. In a
! long talk with the correspondent
i he told a story, which though
) perhaps unduly pessimistic, ex.
plains the persistence of Count
Czernin, Austro-Hungarian fore'
ign minister, and of Emperor
1 Charles in returning again and
i aggin to the subject of peace
i negotiations
{ This Austrian, who spent
I several days in Berlin on his
way to Copenhagen, had an op!
portunity to talk with represen
? tatives of the German foreign
[ office. He said that all ot these
i men, with the exception of one.
were convinced peace was com- 1
i ing before winter. 1

Washington, Aug. 2b.? At the
lirect suggestion of President
kVilson, Provost Marshal Generil
Crowder telegraphed to all
rovernors tonight a supplementil
explanatian of regulations
joverning the status of married
nen under the draft law. No
:hange in regulation is made,
md the purpose of the statement
s to clear up misunderstandings.
In a letter to Secretary Baker,
luoted by General Crowder,
'resident Wilson states his opinon
that the regulation directing
ocal boards "to establish the
act of dependents in addition to
he fact of marriage ought not to
)e abrogated." This leaves the
egulations as they are and the
supplementary statement is designed
merely to make the ap
plication of the rules uniform.
While the statement regarding
named men was in preparation
orders were issued changing enirely
the mobilization arrangenents
previously made. Con- ,
;estion of rail traffic and the
lecessity of making better pro
vision for receiving the men at
he cantonments dictated the
changes.
Under the new orders, five per
:ent of the white men, preferably
hose with militnrv Pvnorionpn
:rom each local area, will be
started forward to the camps
September 5th instead of thirty
:>er cent. They will go in five
daily detachments of equal size
ind form skeleton company organizations
and set up a going
xmcern into which the remain
let of the total quota can be
absorbed without confussion as
they reach the cantonments.
The next forty per cent of the
luota' will go forward Septem
aer 19th. when the second thirtv
aer cent originally was scheduled
:o go; a second forty per cent
will go forward October 3rd. instead
of the third thirty per cent
and the remaining fifteen per
:ent will be called up as soon
[hereafter as practicable.
Local boards are directed to
disregard order of liability numbers
to some extent in selecting
the first hve per cent as men of
