$1,25O,OOO,OOO
GIVEN TO CAUSE
With But One Dissenting Vote, New
War Credit of 5000, ,O00, 900 Marks
Was Given Toward Prosecuting
War to the End

Berlin, Dec. 2, Via London Dec. g.
ell A. MA momentous war session
of the Reichstag was held to-day and
was marked by the unanimity of feel
ing that prevailed among the members
in regard to prosecuting the war to the
end. A new war credit of 5,000,000,-
600 marks $3.50, 0,000,00O) was voted
with but one dissenting vote, that of
Herr Liebkneeht, Socialist, and notable
speeches were made by Kaempf, the
speaker. After the credit was voted
the Reichstag adjourned until March
2.
Almost all the members were pres
ent when the body was called to order
and at least tenth of them wore the
gray field uniform. The benches al
lotted to members Of the Bundesrath
and all the galleries were crowded. On
the seat of DR.. Ludwig Frank, the So
cial Democrat. who fell as volunteer
in his first fight, large laurel wreath
reposed.
Cheers for Cruiser Emden
Speaker Kaempi, in the course of
his opening speech, announced that 69
members of the Reichstag were per-
forming active service. Over 100000
men he said had offered their services
as volunteers, but only small part of
this number has thus far been called
to the colors.
During Herr Kaempf's speech the
stormy enthusiasm of the first days of
the war was changed into less noisy
but more deep and serious feeling. The
enthusiasm was greatest when the
speaker mentioned the triumph of the
cruiser Emden and Germany's subma-
rines.
When DR.. Won Bothmann- -Hollweg,
the Imperial Chancellor appeared, he
spoke seriously and slowly, reading his
prepared speech with careful emphasis.
He eulogized the German military sue
cesses said that much remained to be
done, but that Germany would persist
to her last breath in this war which
was forced upon the German nation.
The Neutrality of Belgium
One of the most important parts of
DIR. Won BethmannH Hollweg's address
was his declaration of Belgium's s guilt
in surrendering her neutrality of which
written proof, he said, had since come
to light. These were not at Germany's
disposal on August 4, he declared, al
though well known to British states
men. This declaration met with pro-
longed applause.
The final portion of the Chancellor s
speech was devoted to an indictment
of British policy as being morally re-
sponsible for the war, although Russia
was directly responsible, the Chancellor
said, by driving through general
mobilization. Long continued applause
followed the close of his speech.
Hugo Haase, the Socialist leader, on
behalf of his party, stated that the
Socialists remained faithful to the
standpoint of their declaration of Au-
gust 8. He criticised the press censor
ship as unnecessarily severe.
DR.. Peter SPAIN, leader of the Cen
ter party, spoke in behalf of all mod
crate parties in favor of the war credit
which was then passed with only the
dissenting voice of Dr. Liebknecht.

SPANISH PRETENDER EXlLED
FOR INDUCING IN WAR TALK

Paris, Dec 8, $50 A. M.-The
"Eclaire" declares in its issue to-day
that Don Jaime of Bourbon, the Span
ish pretender, addressed an appeal to
his partisans some time ago to side
with France in the war. This came
to the knowledge of the Austrian au-
thorities and as Don jaime lives in
Austria he was placed under arrest in
his castle. The immediate excuse for
this action was the fact that Don
Jaime had been a colonel in the Rus
sian army.
An appeal was made to Emperor
Francis Joseph, but His Majesty said
he could do nothing in the matter.
Don Jaime persisted in his efforts to
gain his freedom and he was told final
ly that he could either remain a pris-
oner in Austria until the end of the
war, or leave the country. He chose the
latter course, and is now in Switzer-
land.
The hardest thing to learn is to
know oneself: the easiest to find fault
with the doings Of other people.
