“WHAT GERMANY WANTS.” ' Amsterdam, June 29. The “Cologne Gazette” in a semiofficial letter on "What we want,” savs : "The time is near when our enemies will desire peace’ and they 7 will cry for if. We do not, want a weak peace, which could have been obtained without this frightful war, and our annies would consider it an insult to them gallantry to acquiesce in a, weak peace 1 . “Two things are essential for peace. The first, is that our enemies must ask for it, and then experts will express their opinion on ‘What Germany wants’ as far as peace terms are concerned. Lntil then-we must, fight and. above all, remain united.”
