Washington, July 18 Peace by ne gotiation and perpetual reconciliation among nations is the German Relchtag program, according to reports to the State Department today. An outline of the program of the Reichstag, mainly center Progressives and Social Democrats, Is reported to be: On August 4, 1914, the following words were spoken from the throne: 'We are impelled by no thoughts of conquest' On this platform the German peo ple stand today. Germany has taken up arms only In the defense of her liberty and Independence and for the protection of her territory. Against Annexations "The Reichstag aspires to peace by negotiations and perpetual reconcil iation among nations. With such a peace as this, annexation and all political, Industrial and financial measures undertaken by violence are Incompatible.

"The Reichstag disapproves all plana which lead to isolation and enmity among the peoples after the war. "The freedom of the seas must be secured. Only an Industrial peace will pave the way for a friendly Intercourse among nations. Will Fight to End "So long as the enemy governments refuse peace on this basis just so long will the German people stand together as one man, fighting until her own and her allies' right to live an) develop shall be assured. "In Its unity the German people stand unconquerable.

The Reichstag feels Itself to be one with the men In battle who have heroically guarded the front." This program will be laid before the Reichstag, Chancellor Michaelis must address himself to It soon. ANDERSON DIES L. A N.
