 WITH DISSENSION
One Faction Insists the Social Democrats Uphold War Only Because Very Existence of Fatherland Is Threatened.

BERLIN, Mar 12-As indicative Of dissension in the ranks of the Social | Democratic party Karl LiebknechtI and his supporters are severely criu-I oizod by Wolfsang Heihe, one of | the party leaders of the Reichstag. in a pamphlet entitled Against the | Inuiguers
 Heine charges that the Socialist or- | gan Norwaerts has been guilty of de- ! ception and of causing disruption of the inner unity of the party and the promotion on the other hand O, the interests of those who. in Che time of the country's need. condemn the posi- ton of the party
 "The Social Democracy he saysI could act no differently than it has done; it had to align itself on the side of the Fatherland in this war He refutes indignantly Che claim of the "intriguers" that the Social Dcm-I oCrats are "hurrah patriOts' cbauvin- ists and jingoes, and denies that the. war from Germany's standpoint. is an Iimperialistic undertakings
 As long," he continues "as the. enemies cannot contemplate any peace that does not presuppose dictat ing to prostrate Germany just SO long is it worse than madness a be- trayal of the interests of our people. in fact to talk of peace to them
 ITO stick it out to the end Tbas labJve all things. is our duty to our selves Our longing and our hopes Jour sympathy and our concern must not toe allowed to overpowCr us. at least not until everything is dark Iahead Even the most pardouable desire and the most comprehensible excess of feeling can do us the ut- Imost harm if given way Co at an un- suitable moment"
 Touching on the future Hene de- clares that in these pouentous times courage and determination must not be weakened "The party without hesitation. chose its rightiul place at the outbreak of the war Now, in the middle of the war while dangers
 increase and the ability of every man is needed, the party must not l yacillate thereby causing cofnIsion
 in the ranks of Gemanys defenders This might cause the most serious
 conSequences for the whole German { people, including the working class

 "The homoliest and most uuassum % ing comrade Is in position 70 ask o
 the intriguers this question
 s Do you want your party. in tn ' eyes of tho world, to ossume the re v- sponsitility in case Germany shoul e be beaten, cut to pieces and robbed
