BERLIN, Nov. 29.-The nineteenth bud
get was discussed in the reichstag today
Herr Bebel, the Socialist, made an ad-
dress in which he called attention to con-
ditions in the country and declared this
indicated that a crisis was at hand.
He said the unemployed in Berlin al
ready numbered between 10000 and 40, ,OOO
Owing to industrial combines, price
agreements and high duties, Herr Bebel
declared, Germany was paying the high
est prices in the world. Holding up a
loaf of bread, which caused prolonged mer-
riment among the members, the Socialist
leader said:
"They still say this is a big loaf, but a
loaf that weighed four and a half pounds
eighteen months ago now weighs scarcely
three pounds, and the price has risen
fully 80 per cent"
Continuing, Herr Bebel said that official
inquiry showed that the number of pubic
school children in Berlin who never had
dinner had risen to 4S41, while a large
rumber of them had only bread and
coffee for dinner.
Turning to home politics, Herr Bebel
announced that he disagreed with the
declaration made before the reichstag
yesterday by Chancellor Won Buelow that
no camarilla existed in Germany. He
quoted from Prince Bismarck and Prince
Won Hohenlohe to prove the contrary.
Referring to the recent trial of Maxi
milan Harden, who was sued by Count
Kuno Won Moltke former military gov
ernor of Berlin, for defamation of char
acter, the Socialist leader asserted that
the vices revealed in the trial were Sc
prevalent that If the police brought all
the guilty parties to justice a scandal
eclipsing the Panama and the Dreyfus
revelations would break out. The guilty
persons, the speaker averred, are to be
found in the highest social circles, and
they include princes of ruling houses.
The police know the names of the VIC
tins, but they are afraid to act lest the
victim blurt out the names of high per-
sonages who are guilty. A number of
tragedies already have resulted from this
state of affairs. Herr Bebel concluded,
and some officers have committed suicide
TO escape blackmail.
Imperial Chancellor Prince Won Buelow
delivered comprehensive speech in the
reichstag today relative to foreign poll
tics. He referred to the seriousness of
the situation in Morocco and hinted that
some of the sacrifices of European lives
would not have occurred had the inter-
national police provided for by the AL
geciras con-ention been organized in
June.
He recognized, however, that under the
circumstances France and Spain could
not have acted otherwise than they have,
and that. with them rested the whole
responsibility.
Unfortunately German private interests
had suffered thereby, and the German
government would be compelled to help
the sufferers until the International COM
mission made settlement.
Referring TO assertions that have been
made that Germany in recent years has
twice been on the verge of war, the first
time in 1904. during the emperor's voy-
age in the Mediterranean. and. later.
owing to the crisis in Morocco. Chancel-
lor Won Buelow declared that neither
