Confidence in Govern

IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR
MAKES ANGRY SPEECH
Quits Berlin to Confer with En-.
peror. Who, Ii Is Feared, Will
Side with Military.
TBy cable to The Tribune


Berlin, Dec. / Germany is undoubt-
eddy on the eve Of great political
crisis. as a result of the vote in the
Rcichstag ccnsuring DR.. Won Beth
mann Hollwcg. the Imperial Cham
cellor. for his astonishing attempt 10
justify the dragoonng Of Zabern, Al
SAGE. 10y a twonty-year-old lieutenant.
All Germany is wondering whether the
Chancellor will fall He is appointed
by the Kaiser. and remains in office as
long as ne retains the Kaiser's con-
fdcncc. and the resolution of censure
therefore is only the expression Of the
Reichstags opinion and is only effec-
tive so far as il may influence the
Kaiser.
1t is believed that in this case, how
ever. the Kaiser has realized the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation. for he has
tummoned the Chancellor TO Donaucs-
chingCn. where he is staying. Count
Wodel, Civil Governor Of Aisacc, and
General Won Deimling, commander of
the army corps stationed in Alsace,
have also been summoned.
Germany is awaiting with anxious in
terest the result of the conference
which takes place tomorrow. 1t is
stated tonight that if the Kaiser
blames Count Wcdel the Chancellor
will resign, and that if the blame falls
on General Won Deimling the War Min
lister will go.
The situation which has arisen simply
because the foolish conduct of young
lieutenant remains unpublished is one
of great gravity. Never since the his
torical interview with the Kaiser pub
lshed in The Daily Telegraph" has
Germany been swept with such storm
of wild i.dignation. and no quiet can
possibly be restored until Colonel Reut-
ter and Lieutenant Forstner are suit
ably punished, or at least transferred.
Several names are suggested in con-
nection with the succession TO the I'M
perial CHARACTERISTIC, including those
of Marshal Won der Goltz, Admiral Won
Tirpitz and even Prince Furstenberg,
one of the Kaiser's most intimate
friends and his host at Donaueschin-
gen. Germany is eagerly awaiting the
Kaiser's decision. and each party, mill
tary and civilian, is confident that the
Emperor will decide in the wisest pos
sible way under the most difficult cir
cumstances.
Even if the Imperial Chancellor saves
his post for the present his position
will be singularly difficult and will be
entirely without prestige. A vote of
censure has been passed only once be-
fore in the history of Germany on a
Chancellor. and then not by anything
like such a great majority, and it is
believed that the fact that the Kaiser
interviewed personally after Yesterdays
debate is proof that he thinks his
Chancellor treatment OF the Zabern
question distinctly weak. For almost
the first time in German history
Kaiser and Reichstag seem TO hold the
same view. If this belief is confirmed
by to-morrows interview at Donau-
eschingen the days of Won Bethmann-
Hollweg as Chancellor are numbered.

NEW LAW DESIRABLE
TO GOVERN PENSIONS
Csnnisu;oeers Want Power to Increase
q Well q Rsdace Police and
Fremen's Allowance.

Amendment to the law governing pen.
sions of the police and IRE departments
20 - to give them the power of increas-
! ing a. well az reducing the amounts paid
pensioners may be recommended to Con-
gress by the District Commissioners
The proposed investigation OF the po-
lice and fremehs pension rolls. II was
announced yesterday, will be welcomed
by the District heads, who feel that an
inquiry by the Senate District Commit
tee would bring to the attention Of Con-
gress many Of the needs Of the present
pension system.
Every two years the Commissioners are
directed by the present law to hold an
examination to determine whether the
amounts being paid pensioners shall CON
tinue I'm whole or In part" This, in the
opinion Of the corporation counsel, means
that the Commissioners have the power
to reduce q pension, but not to increase
II
In the belief of the Commissioners. this
rule should work both ways As the law
now provides. the District heads are
slow to reduce the amounts of pensions
paid because the pensioners may, for a
time, have outside employment. Reduo-
ton Of the pension might. work hardship
upon a deserving pensioner upon loss of
his employment. This explains why some
persons are continued on self-supporting
pensions when also recipients Of fair in
comes through private employment.
Members of the police and fire. depart
ments are placed on the retired list after
O. competent board Of physicians has
found in their cases that they are phys
icafly unable to perform the duties of
their Offices. Often this disability has
come from the duties of the service. It
is generally progressive. Therefore, the
Commissioners realize that private en-
ployment may be of short duration for
the pensioners, and hesitate to reduce
the amount Of pension paid, as, on los
ing his position, the pensioners may be
left without funds or means of support.
Commissioner Johnston declared yes
terday that he believed that an investi-
cation into the Districts pension sys-
TEN would clear up the situation and be
good for every one concerned.
