NEW GERMAN C ANCELLOR SAYS WAR WAS FORCED UPON THEM Dr. Michaelis in His Inaugural Address to the Reichstag Declared That Submarine Campaign is a Lawful Measure. A despatch from Copenhagen says: Dr. Michaelis, the new Imperial Ger- man Chancellor, in his address "to the Reichstag Thursday afternoon, de- clared leis adhesion to Germany's sub- marine campaign, asserting it to be a lawful measuref• justifiably adopted for shortening the war. Dr. Michaelis opened his Reichstag speech with a hearty tribute to Dr,n.IT von Bethmanollweg, the retiring Imperial Chancellor, whose work, he said, history would appreciate. The Chancellor declared that the war was .forced upon unwilling Ger- many by the Russian mobilization, disservice to the Fatherland, , and that the submarine war was also forced upon Germany by Great Britain's illegal blockade -starvation war. The faint hope that America, at the head of the neutrals, would check Great Britain's illegality was 'vain, Germany's final attempt to avoid the extremity by a peace offer failed, and the submarine campaign was adopted, said the Chancellor. The submarines, the speaker con- tinued, had done all and more than had been expected, and the false pro- phets who had predicted the end of the war at a definite time had done a PA0*R5Ixi5i 1 'it a T4rft�ficl'` e Er ksa„1 WONDER MN TBT GUy Is FOi-LOWINe NlE?

An^L+ liglish dog fancier and breeder, says Answers, uses the telephone in connection with his kennels in a novel and very effective manner. Close to the kennels is the kennel man's house, and a telephone arrangement has been set up in every kennel. In case the dogs are noisy at night, the kennel man speaks to the dogs by means of these instruments, and very soon the din subsides and the dogs go to sleep. They hear the voice of authority and obey. Sometimes a clog cries for lone- liness, and the same means bring him comfort.

A despatch from Petrograd says: A letter from Gen. Brussiloff's chief of staff states that Nikolai Lenine, the Radical Socialist leader, is an agent c® thetiGerman general staff. The evi- dence was traced through the confes- sion of Lieut. Ermolenko that he was sent to the front of the sixth Russian army to make, a propaganda in favor of an early pece with Germany. Lo - nine's task was to compromise the Provisional Government in the eyes of the people by every possible means. Funds worn sent through the in%er- mediary of an employee of the Ger- man legation at Stockholm.
