Bethmann-Holl-weig's Reichstag address, placing the blame for the con tinuation of tbfe European slaughter at the door of Ger many's enemies, won enthusiastic approval from a ma jority of thmembers. The chancellor made no offer of peace; dui zr.aicaiea mai m lied statesman, it would be ing of tire war. The speech lacked the hopeful tone of formerAddresses.

English Press Lauds Lloyd-George. London, Sept. 29 Lloyd-George's declaration that the war must continue to a knockout and warning to neu trals to keep "hands off," contained in an interview with the United Press yesterday, won the unanimous support of the English press today. It was printed in every news paper irrGreat Britain' and telegraphed by all news agen cies throughout Europe. . ' , ' The papers comment editorially at length. "The state ment utters the immutable wall and purpose of the entire British Empire. It is a forcible answer to peace talk," said the London Times. "Interviewing is an American institution which the old world has borrowed. It is only appropriate that in choosing this method of expressing his views the secretary for war should favor with his con fidence one of the great American news organizations." Said the London Express: "To all would-be peacemak ers, whether America, Rome or Snain, or another neutral, the war secretary bluntly said, 'Keep out of the ring.'
