Copenhagen, July U<>?Chancellor Mlchaells In Ills address before the reichstag yesterday said (JcriUHii.v would not continue the war a day long er If It could obtain an honorable pence. America's Intervention was not regard ed with serious concern. The German fleet. particularly, the submarines, would master the situation, he said. "Although," said Chancellor Mlchae lls, "English statesmen knew, as shown by their H?lue book,' that Russian mob ilization must lead to war with Uer niany, they addressed not a word of warning to llussla against military measures while my predecessor In in structions July I'D, 1014. to the ambas sador at Vienna directed him to say that we would willingly fulfill our duty as an ally, but must refuse to permit ourselves to be Involved In a world war through Austria-Hungary disregarding our counsels. The man who wishes to kindle a world war does iA?t write like this, but a man who Is laboring and has labored for peace to the utmost. "The concentration of the Russian army compelled Germany to ft Iosco tho sword, There was no choice left to us, aijd whyt Is true of the war Itself Is true also of our weapons, particularly the submarine. NVe dney the accusa tion that the submarine warfare is contrary to international law and vio lates the rights of humanity. "England forced this weapon In our luinds through an Illegal neutral block ade. England prevented neutral trade with Germany and proclaimed a war of starvation. Our faint hope tha^ America, at the head of the neutrals, would check English Illegality was vain" and the final attempt we made by an honorably Intended peace offer to avoid , the last extremity failed. , '"Then Germany had to choose this last measure as a coulter measure of self defense. Now also It must carry It. through for Gie-purpose of-shorten ing the war. The submarine war is accomplishing all and more than all It Is exacted to. False reports which1 found their way In flie press as a re sult of the short session of the relch stag evoked for a time a certain feel ing of disappointment which ended at a particular time, They did the father land no service. "I declare, in fact, that the subma-' rine war accomplishes in the destruc tion of enemy tonnage what it should. It impairs England's economic life and the conduct of the war month to month In a growing degree so that It will not be possible to oppose the necessity for peace much longer. We can look for ward to the further labors of the brave submarine with complete confidence. "I desire to senfl'home greetings to our troops on all fronts, land, sea? air and -undersea. What our troops, under the leadership of great commanders, have accomplished in three years is unprecedented in the world history. Our thoughts also turn to our true al lies, a brothership in arms which, ce mented and tested in heated battling, will not 1k>. dissolved. Germany will hold fast in faithfnr alliance to' its treaties and agreements. "It Is reported from the supreme army command inac tne military mc uatlon Is very good. The great Anglo French spring offensive ;? the west liaw been Hhattered by armies which show unbroken power and superior ability. "In the east, in spite of the confu sion in Russia, the attack by Russian millions did not "materialize and there is comparative cajm.

Germany did not desire the war In order to make violent conquests and, therefore will not continue the v.ar a day longer merely for the sake of such conquests, if It could obtain an honorable peace."
