INSOLENT SPEECH BY THE CHANCELLOR.

PREPOSTEROUS POLICY OF SPOLIATION.

DOOR BANGED ON PEACE.

GENERAL MASSACRE THREATENED IN RUSSIA.

In an insolent and bombastic speech in the Reichstag, the Imperial Chancellor outlined Germany's peace terms, revealing a more far-reaching policy of annexation than h(4S previously been suggested by the most aggressive Pan -'Germans. The retention of Alsace-Lorraine and the surrender by Britain of her most important naval stations are among preposterous cUmands which have excited general derision. The Austrian Premier committed Austria to a no-annexations no-indemnities policy so far as Uussia is concerned. Internal troubles continue in Austria, Affairs in Eussia are drifting towards unrestrained anarchy^ The Bolsheviki leaders threaten a general massacre of their opponents.
