Messages from Berlin state that Dr. Solf, the German Colonial Secretary, declared that the Jingoes, though numerous, did not possess real influence; in responsible quarters. Germany would undertake the guardianship of the nations bordering on Russia. This did not imply annexation. . Germany was prepared to restore, fully Belgium's independence. Dr. Solf appealed to the' moderate parties in all countries to work for the realisation of an honourable' peace. A fuller report states that Dr. Solf said that the safeguarding of ; Germany's colonial future was not merely ■ the aim of the Government, nor that of , certain vested interests, but the aim of the German people, notably the workers, who regarded it as one of the most important features of the war.
