GREY'S PROMISE
OF AID AFTER WAR
, England Would Use Germany
Against Riis.iia. Bclhrnann
Hollweg Declares.
Berlin, Aug. 19 ? by wireless to Say
ville, I.. J... Dr. von Rethmann-Holl
i wet*, Gorman Imperial Chancellor, in a
i speech to-day at the opening of (he
I Reichstag, :\ft*?r a recess since May 30,
i retraced the history of the European
events leading lip to the present war.
He unveiled what he said were at?
tempts mr.de by the enemies of tier
many to conceal the whole truth from
the nations at large and from their
own people.
This, he said, was proved by the in
; completeness of the information given
1 by the diplomats of the Entente Allied
I countries to their own parliaments, and
he said it ?howed that up to the present
? !h< eompletc truth was hidden ai-?l for
. bidder, ?n the Entente Allied countries,
j The Chancellor added:
"I never have concealed anything
! from the representatives of the German
nation. I never had anything to con
: cenl."
l>r. vor. Bethmann-Hollweg discussed
Poland's future, and announced that
the previous German and Polish antag?
onism had been abolished. He said*
"The present occupation of Poland
is the beginning of an evolution which
will lead the country, freed from the
! sa yoke, toward a brighter future
and able to develop and cultivate its
individual and national character."
Reviews Military Situation.
Reviewing the present military situa?
tion, the Chancellor raid:
"Again all French attempts to shatter
our west front haVe failed, in spite of
the contempt for death and the reck
I less waste of human lives of the
French.
"Italy, our new enemy, who thought
i that she could easily take her neigh
i bor's coveted goods, has been splendidly
) repulsed, in spite of a numerical su
i periority, and has made an immense
1 i ec in human lives.
"Unshaken and unshakable stands
i the Dai danelles front.
"We greet our faithful allies and ex?
tend special greetings to the exalted
? ruler of the I'miube, the monarch who
, yesterday entered upon his eighty-sixth
j ear
"We ourselves have taken almost alt
! Galicia and a large part of Poland.
i Lithuania and Courland, and our lines
everywhere, far advanced into the en
rmies' countries, stand like walls. We
ourselves have strong armies free at
our disposal for new enterprises.
"Proudly and without fear we look
into the future!"
The Chancellor arraigned what he de?
clared was the English pretence that
Great Britain was lighting in the in?
terest-? of small neutral countries.
"The legitimate commerce of neutral
: countries," he said, "has been strangled
by England, which forbids neutrals to
transport merchandise coming from or
?.'oing to Germany, even if the mer?
chandise is not contraband. Neutral
ships are forced to take English crews
| on boaul on the high seas and do as
j they command.
(.reek Islands Occupied.
"England occupies Greek islands
i without explanation, because this is
convenient for the liberty of the mill?
; tary operations of herself and her al
' lies. She tried, together with her al?
lies, to force neutral Greece to con?
cede territory to Bulgaria because she
desires to engage the latter nation on
her side.
"In Poland, P.ussia, fighting together
with her allies for the liberty of na
I, destroys before the retreat of
her armies the whole country evacuat?
ed, burns villages, despoils harvests,
expel? the entire population of villages
and cities, Christians and .lews alike,
turning them into desert countries, and
lets them perish in the dirt of Russian
roads or in ti htly closed railroad cars
without windows.
"Tins is the liberty, this is the civ?
ilization for which our enemies are
g."
The Chancellor enumerated cases in
which be said England had violated the
rights of small nations, citing the Roer
i republics, Egypt and Persia.
The Chancellor, in a sensational
! statement, quoted the words which he
1 declared Sir Edward Grey spoke to the
German Ambassador to London when
' the latter took 1- ave of the British For?
eign Minister after the beginning of
the war, in Augu: t. 191 I.
Causes a .Sensation.
"Sir Edward drc\." said the Chan
| cellor, "emphasizing his words, said
' that the war betweea the two coun
i tries would make it possible that at the
? conclusion of peace he could render us
more valuable services tha.i had Eng
? land remained neutral."
The Chancellor explained that he in?
terpretod these words to mean that
' England desired the friendship of a
ami weakened Germany ?s a
counter influence against powerful Rus?
sia. England would be ready to use
such u Germany a weak country,
without industry and without a navy.
The Chancellor's report of this scene
in London caused a profound sensa?
tion in the Reichstag.
Commenting upon recently published
documents declared to be secret reports
of Belgian diplomats, the Chancellor
declared they proved that Germany ha?!
been attacked after long an?i careful
ration by others for war. H'e re
viewed an attempt to arrive at an un?
derstanding ????th England after the
t Moroccan crisfs, stating that England
. . ! Germany's suggestion for
I an anconditional mutual neutrality, but
! hud offered to promise to make no at?
tack upon Germany without provoca?
tion, and had given assurances that
England had entered into no engage
ittaek Germany and would not
enter into one.
( ontradicts Asquith.
The Chancellor said he had sug?
gested: "England therefore will ob
I viously observe benevolent neutrality
| should war be forced upon Germany."
nd flatly n ?
! fearing that it "??'uld have endan?
gered her friendship with other na

A short time afterward, the Ch

', tente into a defensive ?alliance, wh
he declared, the British a:,d Fre
I General Staffs and Admiralty had tra
formed into ar offensive alliance, c

The Chancellor recounted German
endeavors to maintain friendly re
tions with Rossis, which he said ?
frustr?t??! by pan-Slavists and Frei
revanche politicians.
After his statement regarding 1
land's future, the Chancellor said:
"Further (.ernian and Austrian v
tories will fre the Balkan nations fr
Russian oppression, and make posait
a realization of the principle of t
Balkans for the Balkan nations."
In closing the Chancellor referri

Although he had no advantage of
family or wealth, he rose to be, next
i to the Pope, the most powerful ec?
clesiastic in the Roman Catholic
j hierarchy. He belonged to the eld?r
', group of prelates whose power was
? founded in part on the support of the
great Catholic rulir.g house of Europe

premacy in the cuncils of the Hcly
See.
In 1903, while Cardinal Vannutelli

The cardinal's early education was
obtained at the seminary in Genai?

, College in Rome. After teaching
theology in the Pontifical Seminary he
began a diplomatic career. He served
as auditor of the apostolic delegation

served as papal nuncio in Bavaria,
apostolic delegate to Ecuador and
Peru, and nuncio ft Brussels and Vi
, enna. He was proclaimed cardinal in
1887, being created Bishop of Porto,
i Santa Rutina and Ostia. He became
i dean of the Sacred College in 1903.
He was well liked at the Quirinal be

jurisdiction. As dean he was counsel
| lor to two pontiffs.
The dean s younger brother, Vin
