National Liberals Demand That
War Go On With Still
Greater Energy

ZURICH, August l1.-Discontcnted
German Socialists no longer have 4
monopoly of. attacks on the govern.
meht The National Liberal party,
which has just held meeting at Co
logne, criticises the government in Wig
lrous terms, but for absolutely oppo-
site reasons to those which inspire the
Socialists. The National Liberals ue.
clare that not enough energy is being
pent on the war.
Deputy Stressemann, in a violent
peeeh, contended that the governments
shows a lack Of conscience that Is cal.
culated to cause establishment AMI
anxiety. He attacked Count Monts and
Admiral Truppel because they had pro.
posed to accord with America. and ex-

0istrust Increased
Distrust, his party felt, was increased
W the fact that leaders Of the Social
st party had declared that they were
Importers of the Chancellor and his
rolicy and had not been repudated by
lin. Stressemann expressed satiSrar.
ION at the collaboration Of four great
economic associations in Germany, two
Industrial organizations and one agra
ian body, declaring that the last
ramed had shown great understanding
# the needs Of commerce and industry.
Other speakers demanded that miti.
AIRY and naval operations be carried
out on a still greater scale.
Deputy Bassermann, chief of the
oarty, declared that this was not a
time for reform of the Prussian cleo.
'orial system. The spirit of Bismar:H
1ervading the German people he de-
Jared to be wanting In certain gov
'rnment spheres the censor has given
free rein to democratic sentiment and
proposals for peace, while suPpressing
,tterances of the Nationalist. who
demand a policy Of force devoid OF
I'll sentiment.
Gaining Upper Hand
As the National Liberal party is that
f the wealthy industrial classes,
.hough not one Of the chief govern.
nent parties, this violent attack on
he Chancellor's policy has caused h
'ensation, and is proof that the Won
Tirpitz partisans are getting the upper
and. As the party is against any con
,essions to America on the submarine
warfare issue, its hostility to the gov
rnment s policy will probably have
considerable influence.
The "Vossische Zeitung" yesterday
published an article which is probably
feeler. The article states that the
government would not reply for some
time to President Wilson $. note, bui
hat submarine warfare would be con
r'hued with increased energy.
Silence Just Admission
Professor Meyer, the well known his.
tOrian, writes that Germany has Ut
need by any action of hers to strength
en- President Wilson 5 position, and
will continue the submarine warfare
without troubling about what America
thinks. The "Morgen Post" declares
that this attitude in itself CONSTITUTES
a reply. ...,..
The Munich "Neueste Nachrichten
maintains that the American note does
not prohibit a reply, but need no,
necessarily. receive, one. Nevertheless
the German government may have
something to propose. In any case, il
is desirable that discussion in the press
should continue. The "Neueste Mach
richten - thinks 1t would be well to re-.
ply in any case, in order to rebuff sue.
Of President Wilson's aifirmations rs
are considered erroneous, since silenc,
might seem an admission that they
were just.
