SOCIALISTS SPLIT
OVER WAR CREDIT
Fifteen in ReiChStag Vote
Against New Bill for 10
Billion Marks.

BERLIN Cvia Sayville), Dec. "a
The split which was predicted in
the socialist party occurred Tues
day.
An overwt Inning majority Of the
socialist party members voted for the
supplementary credit Of ten billion
marks, while only 10 members
voted against il.
In behalf Of the majority Socialist
Member Ebert stated that the sup
plement credit was necessary since
the enemy governments were not yet
disposed to make peace.
The secretary Of the colonies made
a sensational disclosure. He stated
that the British stories about Ger
man aggression in South Africa We're
absolutely untrue. The British had
reported that the Germans had at
tackled Nakabsouth. At the same
time the British circulated maps,
according to which Nakabsouth Is
on British soil. But these maps show
signs of forgery, which are still Wis
ible: that formerly NakabsOuth was
shown on the maps as on German
soil This latter is correct, said the
secretary, but an erasure had been
made in the transfer point.
The secretary deposited the map
with the reichstag.
He also added that in 1912 he had
an interview with Gen. Botha, who
would not counsel the reduction Of
the force Of German troops in south
west Africa. Nevertheless. they were
reduced before the beginning Of the
war from 10000 TO less than 1000.
This fact, added the secretary, was
we'll known TO the British govern
ment. which was well informed about
the numbers of the German forces.
