German Socialists Split,
but All Stand for War

London, Aug. 12.-"The Daily Chron-
icle's" special correspondent, who late
iy returned from Germany, dealing
with the Socialist split in that coun-
try, gives a conversation he had with
one Of the officials of the new move
ment started by Edward Bernstein and
Herr Liebknecht in opposition to the
so-called governmental Socialists. This
official said:
"A split in the Social Democratic
party, prevention of which has been
the chief aim Of all leaders of that
party for years past, carnot be avert
ed any longer. Indeed, it may be said
it already has come about. Those who
are suspected of planning or advising
a strike are terrOrized. They are
Swallowed everywhere they go. Their
letters are opened. In feet, there is IN
existence such an elaborate system OF
spying as to make organized action by
the workers absolutely impossible.
"The police take equally severe meas
ures with regard to Socialist litera-
ture. Domiciliary visits frequently are
paid in suspected quarters. Recently In
a town in Baden twenty men and wom-
en- were arrested on the charge of DIS
tributing Socialistic pamphlets and
treated as common criminals"
Assuming that people find out after
the war that it was not defensive
war" the correspondent asked, "do you
think the consequences will be seri-
ous?"
"Our people will never believe that
they have been misled," was the reply.
"As for myself, |, too, believe that this
war was forced upon Germany. But,
assuming that clear proof to the con-
trary comes TO light, do not believe
that this will materially change public
opinion for years to come. No nation
can possibly come 10 any other con-
clusion after the continued pressure by
word and pen which is being brought
to bear upon il now"
The statements of my informant
clearly show that as thing stand now
any organized labor movement which
would affect the manufacture of war
material or the general conduct of the
war or any movement for peace, would
not have the slightest chance of sue
cess. Public opinion, moreover, would
be strongly against any such movement
so much so that, as a German re-
marked to me, mot one stone of their
buildings would be left upon another
if they dared to interfere with the
war"

GERMAN PARTIES
PLOT TO DRIVE
OUT CHANCELLOR
Will Open Bitter Fight III
the Reichstag on Won
Bethmann-Hollweg.
Bv GORDON GORDON.SMITH.

Zurich. Aug 11.-When the German
Reichstag meets in a few days time
stormy scenes may be expected.
A faction Of the National Liberal
party makes no secret Of its intention
to render The position of the Chancel-
lor untenatle. Bassermann. Strese-
mann, Fuhrmann and othe- prominent
members ale leaving no stone un-
turned to drive Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg from office. They reproach him
with want Of energy in the prosecution
of the war, especially as 10 naval al
fairs.
No party in Germany approves me
government policy. ImDerialists and
the military party demand declara-
ton of annexation of all conquered
territory. A section Of the Agrarians
and the minority Socialists ask a dec
claration that there will be no annexa-
ton.
Everybody is complaining Of the I'M
certainty and vacilation of the Chan
cellor. The victories in Poland are
rendering the National Liberals. impe-
rialists and military party more AFRO
giant than ever, and if Admiral Won Tir-
pitt does not obtain a free hand TO
carry out an unrestricted submarine
warfare an attack will be made on the
Chancellor all along the line.
The "Magdeburger Zeitung," one of
Won Bethmann- Hollweg's organs, made
a violent attack yesterday on the Ma
tional Liberals. denouncing them for
want of patriotism in keeping up party
notifies at such a crisis, and adding:
even if they succeed in overthrow
ing the Chancellor. they will not
change the situation, for it is the
Kaiser at this moment who. with equal
competence, dominates generals and
ministers. What would the people say
if any one at this moment dared to
criticise the strategy of general? To
attack ministers or generals IL almost
10 attack the person Of the Kaiser. who
gives his unlimited confidence only to
those who merit it and show them
selves worthy of It,"
Berlin, Aug. ia meeting last
night of leaders of the National Libe-
raj party in Berlin expressed unani-
nous condemnation of intrlgues
against Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. II was declared that the at
titudc of opposition to the Chancellor
expressed recently in certain party
circles did not represent the opinion
of the party as whole. The Chan
cellor's public statements. it was said,
gave no reason TO suppose that he
was conducting weak illusionist pol
lev. The meeting declared that his
policy deserved full confidence.
