KAISER f.lUST SET OUT HIS AIIS IN WAR
Conditions Threaten to Compel the Issuance of Itemized Statement.
Canning Laurels Won by Mrs. Clutter at Beallview Picnic
External pressure to force the German government to et forth, its war aims clearly having- failed on the surface, internal conditions within the empire threaten to compel the Issuance of a full statement of Germany's alms. What the German leaders want, if they are successful, will he discussed in the Reichstag this week, probably today. The imperial chancellor Dr. Michaelis, is finding the way as difficult as it was for his predecessor, Von Eethmenn-Hollweg and he must now face the critics of the government in the Reichstag. Whether, as has been charged, the bureaucracy and the army have been furthering the pan-German scheme of annexation and indemnities
is expected to be brought out in the Reichstage debate. j Hoot War Minister. Dr. Michaelis on Saturday sent Minister of the Interior Helfferich before the Reichstag to make a statement on his behalf. Helfferich failed to mollify the critical members of the Reichstag and the sitting was adjourned to today after the vice chancellor's speech had been interrupted. General Von Stein, the war minister was jeered when he attempted to explain the army's side of the accusat on that the high command was using very strong methods to help the pan-German agitation. Von Bethmenn-Hollweg, some months before his resignation had a test of strength with Admiral Von Tirpltz, the reputed organizer of ruthless submarine warfare, and the chancellor won. The admiral since has been busy and the new fatherland party, of which he is one of the sponsors, according to recent reports, has been very active in opposing the Reichstag majority declaration for peace without annexations or Indmnities. Feeling More Intense. It has now come to a test between the followers of Von Tirpitz and the pan-Germans on one side and the ma
jority of the Reichstag on the other. Recent reports have shown that the feeling between the pan-Germans and the Reichstag majority has been becoming more intense, some socialist, members of the Reichstag having gone so far as to charge that the agitation of the pan-Germans is dividing the German peoole into two camps on the question of the aims of the war. Today's British official statement indicated no let up in the Intense artillery duel in Flanders. The definite developments reported was the launching of the accepted counter-action by the Germans. The attack delivered after a heavy barrage had been laid down, was made east of Polygon wood where the British are established on the highest point of the PalschendaeleGheluvelt ridze. The British guns beat off the Germans a few of whom rmfined as prisoners in British b?nds. More favorable developments in the Russian political situation are reported. A complete agreement has been renched on all questions it is announcd and the immediate formation cf a coalition cabinet is planned.

Thousands of persons in Armenia are starving and Richmond residents will be asked by the Armenian and Syrian Relief association to aid in alleviating this suffering. Monthly subscriptions will be asked, as it is hoped that there will be a steady income for relief work. - Prof. M. F. Papazian, a native Armenian, will describe the conditions in his country and how the thousands of persons are in want, in a talk at the Commercial club Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. The speaker will be introduced by Rev. Mead A. Kelsey, field secretary of the relief association. The inovcation will be given by Rev. W. J. Cronin, pastor of St. Mary's church. A relief agent in the Russian Caucasus, Harrison A. Maynard, writes to friends in the United States of the need to give Armenian refugees employment, so that their minds may be
taken off the horrible experiences
through which they have passed and !
at the same time they may become
self-supporting once more.
"Why should we live?" a woman who
used to work for him, asked Mr. Maynard. "In spite of herself we encourag
ed her to work," goes on the letter, "and now 6he is somewhat happy and
very industrious. Another women of j a different disposition was bo harass-'
ed by memories of the massacres and !
by thoughts of the murder of her only
son, a teacher in the American School 1 at Bitlies, that she could not sleep.!
When first given wool to spin she!
worked at it desperately, going out at
night into the street to spin by the
ligh of the stree lamp, as she had
none in her house. When she has no! wool to spin she comes to our house,
picks over wneat Dy nana, sews or)
does anything we can give her. Now I notice that the lines of her face are j less drawn and she is beginning to be
somewhat composed.
