GERMANS WANT
THEIR RIGHTS
BEFORE PEACE
HERR WIENER QUOTES AR
TICLE BY HElNEMANN IN
ADDRESS---GlVES HIS TALK
AND THE REPLIES.

BERLIN (via London, June 25-
The debate in the Prussian chamber
of deputies yesterday, in which Pro
gressive and Socialist members dis
cussed the attitude of the German peo-
pie toward peace and were answered
by the minister o. the interior has at
tracted wide attention
The morning newspapers report the
proceedings substantially as follows:
Herr Wiener Progressive. cited
with signs of approval from the mem
bers and article by Hugo Heinemann,
Socialist, to the effect that no Ger
man wants peace until Germany's
enemies are willing to concede her
right to develop her economic and
cultural powers"
DR.. Karl Liebknecht. the Socialist
leader, interjected: 1--WE have the
masses with us and the masses want
peace"
Herr Weiner continued:
I'VE are convinced that the CO.
operation Of all parties and classes is
essential, and that it means German
: victory. In this cooperation Is found
the guarantee that we will hold out
and that we will be spared from such
dastardly attacks in the future"
Herr Braun, Socialist, said the So
cialists did not deny that the German
people must stand together against
their innumerable enemies. He re-
p1,., .
sons are talking about continuing the
war in order to realize wild plans
of annexation" A great majority of
the German people wish imperatively
that no opportunity for securing an
early peace be lost. the speaker de.
clared, and they emphatically reject
annexation plans of all kinds, par
ticularly such as have been advocated
by one German ruler
"The German people want no CON
want no annexations. They do want
peace without bringing humiliation or
subjection to other peoples"
Herr Delbrueck, Prussian minister
of the interior, replied to Herr Braun
as follows:
while we are involved in such a
war as this we can have but one
thought, namely to terminate it in a
way that will make repetition i'm
possible. That is the goal which the
imperial chancellor and the allied gov
ernments have set themselves and
that is the goal you must strive for
along with us"
This reply was greeted with evil
dence of disapproval from the So
cialists.

SIX KILLED AS
TRAINS COLLIDE
THE CRASH TOOK PLACE ON
BRIDGE 100 FEET AsovE
WATER.

THURMONT. Md, June 25.-Six
persons were killed and a dozen
more or less seriously injured when
the Blue Mountain express and the
fast mail Of the Western Maryland
railway crashed together on
bridge 100 feet high over Owens
creek, few miles west of here, last
night. Four Of the dead were passen-
gers.
A mix-up in orders is said to have
caused the accident. The trains met
at high speed and the two engines
were almost completely telescoped.
Locked together, they both were held
to the track. The baggage car of the
Blue Mountain express toppled over
to the bed of the creek, and one
Pullman veered perilously near the
edge of the bridge.

CASE
MAY YET GO To.
HIGHER COURT
PLEA TO BE FIRST MADE TO
GOVERNOR WHITMAN AND
IF REFUSED THE FIGHT
WILL BE CONTINUED.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Counsel
Tor Charles Becker considered today
the advisability of an appeal to the
United States supreme court to save
Becker from execution in the week
OF July IL for the murder of Herman
Rosenthal. 1t was reported that either
a writ of error or habeaS corpus
might be requested on the ground of
newly discovered evidence. Either
writ automatically would stay eXecu-
tion. A letter written to Bccker's
counsel by a prisoner now in Sing
Sing, asserting that he overheard
part of a plan by Jack Rose, Harry
NallOn and "Bridgie" Webber to
frame" Becker. may be the basis of
thcp roposed appeal.
The letter was signed by Joseph
Murphy, who wrote that he was in
the Tombs prison when Rose, Web
Der and Vallon were detained there
as witnesses. Murphy said he saw
the three men comforting in a corri-
dor, and overheard one of them say,
I'VE haven't a chance in the world
unless we frame Becker up. Accord
ing to the papers they seem to think
Becker had something to do with the
murder, because Rosenthal made
that squawk, and it won't be hard to
make the people believe it is the
truth"
Becker's counsel said no move in
the direction OF an appeal to the
supreme court would be made until
after Governor Whitman had heard Il
plea for clemency.

during the Russian occupation re-
ceived in Berlin, tell of hardships suf-
fered by the change from Austrian

Activity along the front where
Austrian and Italian armies are fac
ing each other still is chiefly in the
nature of infantry activity. The Ital-
lans claim, however to be gradually
advancing along the Isonzo, and to
have repulsed Austrian attacks at
several points.
Latest Paris reports show French
progress only in the ridges east of
Metzeral, in the Vosges, and there
only to slight degree.
Nothing new has been heard from
the Dardanelles.
A comparative lull in the fighting
after fortnight of feverish activity
is enabling military observers on
both sides to review the present situa-
tian and forecast future operations.
Petrograd maintains that the Russian
defensive positions are so secure that
the Austro- German forces cannot
withdraw many troops for use against
RuSsias allies. The Russians assert
further that their preent line before
Warsaw is as strong as it ever was
and that their armies on the Dnies-
ter will fall back only if the eastward
drive of the Austro-Germans from
Lemberg threatents to cut them off
Berlin and Vienna are less communi-
cative concerning their intentions, but
it is believed Warsaw again is their
objective.
In England the campaign for muni-
tions is in full swing with the posi-
bility of nationl registration to as
certain the man power" of the ma
tion. That England appreciates the
need of adding to her fighting re-
sources is significantly indicated by
publication in the London Times of
tables showing that the casualties of
officers during the past month come
within few hundred of the total Of
ficer casualties during the entire
South African war. The total in
South Africa was 2,572, while the list
since May 26 show that 2,440 Off
GERS have been killed, wounded or
reported missing.
