Dispatches from Berlin state that Herr
Schiedemann, q Socialist member of the
Reichsta9, moved the adoption of Il consti-
%tutionaI amendment making the Chancellor
responsible to the Reicbsta8 for the Kaiser's
acts and authorizing the Chancellol's dismiss
sal upon the Reichstag's vote. He appealed
that supplies should not be voted until DR..
Won Bthmann Hollweg either resigned or
was dismissed.
DR.. Won B@hmann Hollweg, replying,
declared that the proposal was an invasion
of the Imperial prerogativo, and that the re-
cent vote Of want of confidence merely sig
nified that he and the Reichstag held differ
ent opinions. He had not resigned, nor
would he resign, believing that the majority
of Germans were unwilling that the Kaiser's
prerogatives should be restricted, and he
declared that it was unconstitutiona to put
pressure upon the Kaiser by votes of want
of confidence, or the Withholding of supplies.
Herr Schiedemann thereupon warned the
Reichstag that it was necessary to support
its conspre by taking steps to clip the wing
of the military and establish parliamentary
responsibility. The nation, he declared, is
behind Parliament and will support it in
limiting the monarchial power. Dr., Won
BethmNnn Hollweg, he said, was a great
statesman who had succeeded in uniting the
nation against his policy; he had meant well,
but had failed to understand his times. Herr
Spain announced that the Centre Party will
oppose Herr Schiedemann's propose! and
will vote the Budget for the nation and not
for DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg.
