(United Press Staff Correspondent) Berlin, Aug. .--Although the German Committee on Honorable Peace met throughout Germany and the newspapers were filled with comment on the speech de? liver ed simultaneously at all the gatherings, public discussion was limited.

The Kaiser 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 j peace, I Under the auspices of the German National Committee, an organization having the approval of the : official censorship, fifty well known German orators will make the same speech In fifcy German cities today. The speech is unofficially known to represent Chancellor von Bethmann HoHweig'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 those with whom he has politically disagreed on the conduct of the war.

I favor the vote for hrohahlv .timwlflte as' new borrowings of Wllions become necessary. ' It is practically certain that in some of the warring nations thyidy disguised socialistic seizures of property will have to be made, to pay the war bills, even if the war doesn't last a day longer. If peace continues to be evasive far into the third year of the war, there will be few coun tries that in the end will be able to avoid widespread confiscation. Economically, the two years of war fare have not been disastrous for any of the prnicipal belligerents. Wort ingmen's wages, in general, have ris en higher than the increased cost of living. The dispatch of so imany mil lions of men to the front and the use of so many millions moro in tnu nitions lactones, have ' caused a scarcity of ordinary labor throughout Europe. ' . ' The Central Empires, however, will feel a serious economic strain when the war is over, because , their supply of raw materials is rapidly becoming exhausted. The Allies have been able to import raw materials continuous ly during the war, while Germany and Austro-Hungary have had to live on their reserves. How to purchase raw materials from abroad in suffi cient quantities to provide for the millions of Teuton soldiers returning to workshops - and ' factories after peace is declared, will present a se rious problem, for Berlin and Vienna to solve. . : .- '-; -' .
