GERMAN REICHSTAG TO MEET
Will Vote on War Credit of $1,250,ooo,
Oo0-FinanciaI Situation
Explained.

Berlin, via London, Dec. 1.-The
Reichstag will meet for the purpose of
voting war credit of 5,000,O00,00O
marks ($1,250,OOO O00). DR.. Won Beth
mann-Holweg, the imperial chancellor,
conferred with the leaders of the vari-
Gus parties, explaining the military
and financial situation. He first re-
ceived the Socialist leaders.
1t is expected that the war credit
will be adopted unanimously and prac-
tically without debate The govern.
ment does not intend to raise the new
loan forthwith and probably will not
do so until spring.
Chancellor Won Holweg
speaking to the Reichstag committee
said the military situation on both
fronts was wholly favorable, but that
he wished to defer further explana-
tons till the meeting of the Reichstag.
He said he hoped the Reichstag would
vote the loan unanimously as this
would encourage the troops to the
greatest energy.

POLAND is MORE IMPORTANT
Berlin Considers Events There Of Far
Greater Concern Than Those
in Flanders.

Berlin, Dec 2.-(Via The Hague to
London.-The East gradually is COM
ing into it's own. Those familiar with
conditions have recognized for the past
three weeks that the center of i'm
portance has been transferred from
France to the Eastern war theater.
The departure of Emperor William
to the eastern front, the appointment
of General Won Hindenburg as field
marshal and the publication of appre-
ciative kilograms to the eastern COM
manders have directed the attention,
even Of the uniformed public, to the
fact that events in Poland are of far
greater Importance than those in Elan

"The Ninth Army Corps, under your
safe and tested leadership, again has
fought with unrivalled brilliancy in a
hard but successful battle. Your
achievements in the past few days will
stand in history as shining examples
of fortitude, endurance and valor.
Communicate this to our splendid
troops with my imperial thanks, to
which / wish to give tangible form by
comforting upon you the Order of

French Discredit German Strength.

Paris, Dec. "A semi-ofiicial COM
munication concerning the German
armies in the field, made public here,
says: Germany at present has at
her disposal 251a active army corps,
of which 211a are operating against
France and four against Russia. OF
the 33 German reserve army corps,
% " are now employed against France
and 10k against Russia. These fig
ures show that there is total of 5S1s
army corps, active or reserve, fight
ing for Germany on the two fronts,
and not 100 army corps as has erro-
neously been stated by the Germans.
II the territorial units Uandwehr)
of which nothing was said in the Ger

France and seven against Russia, that

territorial divisions"

he failed to register as an alien and
travelled more than five miles without
a permit.
