PUBLIC DISAPPOINTED.
STRICT CENSORSHIP.
SPEECH ONLY POLEMICS.
Amsterdam, December 10.
The German press comments extensively on Dr. von BethmannHollweg's speeches. The Berlin newspaper Tageblatt says the Chancellor was wise when he refused to make suggestions regarding peace, and warns him not to be misled by Buperannexionist Pan-Germans, who k el * ev a Germany desires to annex najf of Europe. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung welcomes the speech, and adds, " Now, even tho blindest enemies know how e .stand, .how determined we are to van. ' "
Some Berlin journals receive the Chancellor's speech coolly, and a large section of the public is bitterly disappointed. The / Vossische Zeitung frankly admits that the Chancellor deceived everybody. The speech was only polemics, which ran out to painful littleness in his references to British hypocrisy. The Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts announces that the censorship has forbidden its comments on the Reichstag debate. Socialists show the intensest dissatisfaction with the censorship.
