In one of the most vigorous and plain spoken speeches he has made before the Reichstag since the outbreak of the war, the 1m- J perial German chancellor Tuesday bluntly refused to enter into a discussion of Germany's peace ' aims as demanded in interpella tions by the Cotiservativee and Socialists. Dr. von Rethmann-Hollweg assert ed that these called for the govern ment's specific peace program, the aqnouncement of which would at the present time not only be premature, but which It would be difficult to formulate and also of no practical service to the nation in the present general situation. The chancellor plainly declared he would not permit himself to be '•wayed by pressure from any source and that be was not under the spell of any party or elldtiA- The best In terests of the nation, be believed, demanded that the reticence be had Hapoedi ea himself *n the face of continuous clamor since December, 1I1S. should be observed until the moment was ripe He wee sure such n course would be eadersed by the aauea at large, which coatlaeed to rally arouad Its Ka>perer*ad would meet the views of the majority of the members of the Reirhetag The chaacellor briefly reviewed brothers and leaves all other matters in suspense? No, I will not pursue such a pol icy. That would be the basest in gratitude toward the heroic deeds of our people at the front and at home. It would permanently press down the people, to the smallest worker, In their entire conditions of life. It would be equivalent to surrendering the future of our fatherland. "Or ought I, conversely, to set forth a program of conquest. I de cline to do that. (Cries from the right—‘We are not demanding that'’) ff It has not boon demand ed. then we are of one opinion. * "I also decline to set fortp a pro gram of conquest. We did not go forth to war, and We stand in battle now against almost the whole world, not In order to make conquests, but exclusively to secure our existence and to establish firmly the future of the nation. **At regards our eastern neighbor, Russia, I bavs already recently spoken.

Demoralization of the Russian army and the consequent withdrawal of German forces from the eastern front began having their effect in France Wednesday. The heavy rein^ forcement of men and guns which Field Marshal van Hindenburg has been able to throw into the defense of his sorely battered lines have for the time being at least, caused a deadlock which the most furious ef forts of the British and French have failed to break.- These first fruits of the chaos in Russia are the more ominous in the bints they offer of future possibili ties. The Council of Soldiers' and Workmen's Delegates seems to have been aroused at last to the perils of the course it Mias elected to follpf. but It ia a question If its awakening has not come top late. The soldiers In the ranks evidently have the bit In their teeth and It remains to be seen If there is a hapd strong enough to check them from* bringing about practical anarchy.

The State market agent was espe cially struck by an incident that took place in the asparagus districts. The more enterprising growers have been organized into a splendid co-opera tive association and have adopted the best method of marketing in ex istence. taking everything into con sideration. This step among the growers has of course broken up the highway robbery that tbey were ex posed to in past seasons. Never be fore have the growers been so suc cessful as now, after having organ ized and adopted a modern system of marketing. Certain Interests In the trade, of course, saw that their past lucrative methods ware almost eliminated, so they decided to do everything to break up the association. Their fav orite method of breaking up an as sociation Is to get a weak-kneed in dividual and pad hia sales, that la. give him a little more than the mar ket price.
