Berlin, Dec. 9.?So long as uncontrolled hatred of Germany and the belief that Germany is approaching a j col-lapse continue to be the dominant j idea of the enemy countries, it would : be folly for Germany to take the initiative in proposing terms of peace. Germany, however, is ready at any time to consider a peace suggestion from the countries "with which she is at war; does not wish a continuation of the war; and dissociates herself, jmder these circumstances, from any I responsibility for its prolongation. This is the substances of the Gen-1 man imperial chancellor's reply in the j reichstag to day to the Socialist inter- j pellation on peace, in which he painted a picture of Germany's triumphant on all sides and supplied with everything, even if not in abundance, necessary to the continuation of the war. The interpellation was introduced by Dr. Scheidemann in the following ttn mo. "Is the imperial chancellor ready to j give information as to the conditions ; under "which he would be willing to; enter into peace negotiations?'' Ready to Bisccss Them. "If our enemies make peace proposals compatible with Germany's dig- ! nity and safety," ssaid Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, "then we shall always be ready to discuss them. So long as in the course of our enemies the guilt and ignorance of statesmen are entangled with confusion of public opinion it would be folly for Germany to make peace proposals, which would not shorten, but would lengthen the war.' Only two Socialists spoke on the interpellation, all the non-Socialists parties uniting in a short declaration op-1 posing discussion at this moment. The ; J - -f -Li?

The country had enough food, if properly I distributed. Germany's enemies, he said, were suffering more than the Germans, and paying higher prices for food. 3iot Near Collapse. "Rumors that Germany is on the verge of collapse," said the channel lor, "and the attribution of a peace mission to every prominent German who goes abroad, Prince von Buelow, Prince Maxifillian of Baden, Dr. Solf, ii <J!U tilt?

There is not a weak point in tthe German reckoning. If our enemies do not choose to accept the situation and end the war, now, they must do so later. Germany can wait." At the conclusion of the imperial chancellor's first speech Dr. Kaempf, president of the chamber, read the interpretation and put the formal question as to whether the government was prepared to reply. "We are ready to reply immediately," replied Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. The reichstag presented the typical appearance of a momentous day, there being not even standing room in the I galleries. The American ambassador, James W. Gerard, was among the diplomats present. The great audience also included the Duke of Mecklenburg.

The ! emperor requested the United States to use its good offices in getting safe con- ( ducts for the departing attaches and for their successors, who will he appointed later. A communication from the German ! foreign office announcing the action , was delivered to Secretary Lansing today by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, who hurried from I New York when he was advised that | a reply to the request of the United I States had been received at the embassy from Berlin. Mr. Lansing after ! a conference of five minutes with the ambassador authorized the following official anouncements: "The German ambassador has informed me that the emperor has been > pleased to recall Capts. von Pappen and Boy-Ed, in compliance "with tho wishes of the United States."

He has been in the habit of donning them about the first of October for protection against the cool weather ^ but being busy with various other impartant matters, he acted imprudent by neglecting to do so. And now from this case arises the question as to what time of the year a person really should put them on.
