pointed reference to the danger-
ous exterior situation despite the

sist

emphasized intention 6f all the
greal powers to work toward
peace The chancellor pointed
out the danger that the people
might succumb to the seductions
of unscrupulous war agitators.
The German people, he said,
wished to strengthen their de-|
fensive forces so that if neces-
sary they can avert hostile at-
tacks and preserve German

ors and invited the Reichstag to
discuss the bill calmly with the
