Michaelis Denies Spurned Peace Offer In 1917 Letter
Berlin August 11. Dr. George Michaelis former imperial chancellor denies a German press report that he refused to negotiate with England through Pope Benedict in 1917. He says Premier Bauer published a letter from him to Field Marshal von Hindenburg dated September 12 1917 omitting an important part. The omitted section urges seeking peace if Germany could secure relief for its people and end the war.
