Eterlin, Aug. 1. The Kaisor today
inaugurated a speech-making propa
ganda throughout Germany to unify
the empire on Germany's peace terms
and to prepare the public mind for
peace.
Under the auspices of the German
National Committee, an organization
having the approval of the official
censorship, fifty well known German
Wetors will make the same speech in
fifty German cities today. The speech
is unofficially known to -represent
Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweig's
peace term views.
The speech is being awaited with
the keenest interest by both, friends'
and foes of Dr. Hollweig.
This propaganda may mark the be
ginning of re-established friendly re
lations between the Chancellor and

disagreed on the conduct of the war.'

Mr. Hughes ' assailed the Adminis
tration for the course it has pursued
with reference ' to 'Mexico. mainte
nance" of American rights during the
European war, preparedness and oth
er great questions of the day. He
declared for 'a now 'policy of "firm'
ness and consistency, toward Mexico,
for "die .unflinching maintenance of
aH American rights on land and sea,"
md for "adequate national defense;
adequate protection on both our west
ern and eastern coasts." 1
'We denounce all plots and con
spiracies in the interest of any for
eign nation," Mr. Hughes said. "Ut
terl' intolerable is the use of our soil
tqt alien intrigues. Every American
must unreservedly condemn them and
support every effort for their sup
pression." The nominee assailed the Adminis-
!iati6n for its direction of diplomat
ic intercourse" from the beginning,
declaring that where there should
have been conspicuous strength ; and
alertness there had been weakness
and inexpertness. He cited San Do
mingo as an instance where appoint
ments had gone to "deserving Demo
crats" and to the failure to continue
Ambassador Herrick at his post in
Paris after the war had started, as a
'lamentable sacrifice of international
repute."
"I endorse the declaration in the
platform in favor of woman suf
frage," Mr. Hughes declared. And

(Written for the United Press)
New York, Aug! 1. The warring
nations of Europe are af their last
jtand. as they enter . today upon ihe
Two years of prodigal expenditures,
of enormous losse? and, of indecisive
victories and defeats have led up to
the final phase of the great Struggle
which discloses neither side able as
let to dictate terms to the other. The
lilies and the Central Empires have
lot even decided , among themselves
is to the details of their own terms.
This must bo the principal work of
heir statesmen during the third year
)f the waT. ' '
The two years of conflict have
iemonstrated that in a war as com-
j'ex as is the European struggle, oth-
3r forces beside toso, controlled by
he militarists : play an increasingly
mportant' pari in the final" outcome.
The present war map, showing the
German lines extending far into
3my countries, and showing also Jthe
oss of Germany's colonial empire, ia
iut one element that must enter into
my discussion of peace. Linei on
either ' side may hold, but once the
memy establishes a definite superior
ly, in man-killing ' power, ' this fact
will have a new bearing on peace ne
otiations. '
Three other Influences arc at work
n the final phase cf the wars finan-
inl, economic and food. ' Financially.
Sdrope at 'large is approaching a
imit of impossible taxation after the
war, to pay the interest ontho mon-
y now being so Teadily borrowed un-
ler the. influence of patriotic fervor.

last a day iongef. If peace continues
to be evasive far into the third year
tt the war, here wfll be few coun
tries that in the end will be able to
avoid widespread confiscation. 1
Economically, tho two years of war
fare" have not been disastrous for any
f the' prnicipal belligerents. Work
ngmeh's wages, in general, hayo'ria-
n hfgher than the bicreased cost pf
living. The dispatch of so, many mil-
ions of men to the front and( the
lse of so many millions more in mu
nitions' factories, have caused a
.icarcfty of ordinary labor throughout
Europe.
The Central Empires, however, will
reel a serious economic strain When
be war Is over, because their supply
if raw .materials is rapidly becoming
xhausted, The Alliea have .been able
.0 import raw materials continuoua-
y during the war, while ' Germany

' For two years, the' supply of food
