j WASHINGTON, July 7.-A1I Germans, j formerly connected either with the German embassy or with any on# of the many consulates in America, have been j requested to leave the United States. | Notification that their presence in j America is undesirable has been sent j to them by the state department, ) The Germans who principally are clerk* or •ervant*. were not told that they were suspected of being spies.

BTERDAM. July 7.-Herman Tm. pertal Chancellor von Bethmann-Hoil-w«g Is to announce Germany's adherence to the principle of “no annexation* and no Indemnities” In a speerh he is expected to deliver at the relchstar meeting, according to report* received here.

No Peace With Russia. Tb<* - han. --M-.r. It , ... i 1m , long supported the “no annexations, no Indemnities’* principle, but because of opposition of other governmental forces has made no announcement of this stand. The fact that all opportunity of a separate peace with Russia seems now to have failed has Impelled the German government to deride on new peace announcements.
The term, "Peace without annexations and without indemnities,” was first agitated In connection with the German efforts to call a "Socialist peace conference" at Stockholm. It was coined apparently by Philip Scheide-

Students in the officers' reserve training camp of the United States army at Ft. Benjamin Harrison rounded out their eighth week of training today, the usual Saturday Jetdown coming at 11 o’clock. , The Ninth training regiment, however, did not complete its work on the rifle range and. several companies continued work in the afternoon. Others will go to the range tomorrow and put in a busy Sunday. The firing schedule is so strenuous that the work can not possibly be completed within the six days allotted. The Eighth training regiment of Ohioans and West Virginians did not complete their intrenchments on the north line of the reservation, but they will end the
task Monday.
It is probable, now that both the Eighth and Ninth training regiments have had work at trench building, that a new’ round of trench practice will be started by Lieutenant-Colohel George Hoffman, chief engineering officer. The men may get some real practice at testing high explosives and the results of the use of hand grenades in modern warfare. Of couise the sacrifice of human lives will be avoided but the effects will be displayed at a "safety first" distance. Occupying craters also will be a feature of the training soon to be given the advanced military students.

In the brigade camp comprising the Tenth, Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth regiments and in the artillery camp the usual Saturday/ inspections were held.
