LINES (Continued from First Page.) committes Dr. von Kuehlmann made a speech in which he said: “All eyes at the present moment are turned toward the extent to which Russia has set the world ablaze. The gang of bureaucrats and eycophants, rotten to the core, overruling the weak and misguided though probably well- meaning autocrat, surreptitiously brought about the mobilization of that country, which was the actual and im- mediate cause of the great catastrophe which befell the world. “Now, however, Russia has swept aslde the culprits, and she is laboring to find through an armistice and peace an opportunity for her internal re- gconstruction. I need not supplement the clear words in which the chan- cellor yesterday stated the attitude of the German government toward these aims. Here agaln our policy, will ad- here to the principle of 'm but moderate statesmanship based on facts. The principles hitherto an- nounced to the world by the present rulers In Petrograd appear to.be en- tirely aceptable as a basis for re-or- ganization affairs in the east, a re- organization which, while fully taking into account the right of nations to determine their own destinies, is caf- culated permanently to safeguard the essental interests of the great neigh- boring nations, Germany and Russia. “I am profoundly satisfied that we shall be able to pursue this course in full agreement with our allies and, 1 take it, also with the almost unani- mous moral support of the represen- tatives of the German people here as- sembled,—a fact which will give our action necessary weight.” NEW PASTOR ARRIVES.

Paul, one year vounger, was found lying ih the cellar with his throat cut with a razor. The father broke open the locked door of the bathroom, where the ser- vant had cut her throat and taken mu- riatic acid. She died in the Paterson General hospital. She confessed to the police that she had killed Paul so he “might be with her,” and .a diary found under her pillow, translated, told of a plan to kill Paul, Frank, and their sis Hattie. An unsigned will left her savings to St. Stephen’s church and a Polish insane asylum. RUSH OF RECRUITS.
