SITUATION IS SATISFACTORY.
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.
"Only after false report* and Incite
ment by Russia * a'.leg had stirred *ha
Russian noldlers did the present of
fensive develop. Its goal was Lem
berg and Drohobyos. General Brusi
loff, with all his enormous sacrifices,
has gained only a slight advantage. A
half hour ago I received the following
telegram from the field marshal:
'* 'Provoked by the Russian offen
sive In QaMcia a strong attack was in
augurated there today under the per
sonal' leadership of PrmcxrttfBoiKild of
Bavaria. The Garmant^gPPSrted by
the Austro-Hungarian trftoiw, broke
through the Russian positions near
General BrusiloflPs gain*, there
fore, have beep equalised.
"Greece was forced by violence to
enter rihe war against, us. Our com
mon Tronit, wVh the brave Bulgarians
stands firm.
T,rtalyf even through the eleventh
Isonffo battle against qur wat-trled
Austro-IIungarian brothers, will not

of faith?the poweflsioa at Trieste.
"We look without MgU>ws concern
upon the optimistic if* the

nation also through our fleet, partlc
ularly the suhinarlnes. That Is our
IIrin conviction ami assuraiuv. Wo
and our allien, therefore, can look for
ward to any further development of
jnl lit a ry events.
"The burning question in our hearts,
hoWever. is how much longer the war
Is to last. With this Iveome to a mat
ter which stands In the center of all
our proceedings today. 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."
The Germany he Mid, wish to con
clude peace as combatants who have
successfully accomplished their pur
pose and proved themselves Invinci
ble. A condition of peace was the
inviolability of Germany's territory.
No parley was poHsttde With the ene
my demanding the cession of German
soil. ? ?
"We must by uiettiis of understand
ing and in a spirit of give and take, _
guarantee conditions of the Existence
of the German empire upon the con
tinent and overseas," declared the
chancellor.

A?KEI> TO CONSERVE OIL
Eliminate Sources of Waste While
Country I a At War.
Washington, July 22.?An appeal for
conservation of the country's x>il sup
lily by curtailment of pleaoure riding
in motors and hy eliminating other,
soureps of awste while production is
increased was issued tonight by Chair
man A. C. Bedford or the defense coun
cil's petroleum committee. Mr. Bed
ford is president of the Standard Oil
' mi pa ny of New Jersfey.
"This country," said the statement
"is producing crudo oil at the rate of ?
about 800,000,000- barrels a year, but
f is using it at the rate of 886,000,000
barrels a year. The country is ab
sorbing the entire ciirreiit production ?
anil drawing very rapidly upon its re
serve supply.
"The rapid development of the auto
mobile is largely ? responsible for pres
ent conditions. Today there are more
than 4,000,000 cars, demandlhg over
10.000,000 barrels of gasoline a year.
"Berause of the demand, the price
of crude oil has risen, thus stimulat
ing more producers to drill new well*.
Though this ftrllHng has been (going
on with great aggressiveness the le
turns from 'such efforts are not as
satisfactory as they were a year ago.,
"If our government Is to 'have 'the
? rtroleura it will need to prosecute
the war successfully, and atippiy all
necessities directly growing out of the
war, two steps will tiave to be taken, -
namely: ?- '
"1. The public will have to econo
mise in the use of gasoline. Pleasure
rilling .should toe curtailed, - People
should look upon their automobiles as
necessities.
' ' ? # j* f. -S , ? ! . ? '
"2 Every oil producer in, the ooun-'
try* should be encourage^/as a pa
triotic effort to secure the utmost pos
sible output of crude oil."
