Tirpitz Policy.

London. July 15.-The conference
of the German Chancellor. DR.. Won
Bethmann- -Hollweg, with the politi-
cal leaders of the Reichstag has been
adjourned to Monday, says an Am
sterdam dispatch. so that the Chan
cellor may first have an audience with
Emperor William at imperial head
quarters.
The result of his negotiations with
the leaders of the Reichstag, the dis
patch adds, is awaited with interest
throughout Germany, as it is sup
posed the Chancellor will be forced
either to define his peace policy or
to retire.
Attacked by Won Tirpitz Party.
The Chancellor has been attacked
bitterly in the last month by the von
Tirpitz party, which insisted that the
submarine war ought to be renewed,
regardless of the protests OF the United
States. The Navy League and some OIL
the National Liberals joined IN TINS
agitation, declaring that 1T was the
only means of bringing the war through
to a successful conclusion.
A dispatch from Berlin under date Oh
July said that the campaign IN faVor
Of the resumption Of active submarine
war was going on epergetically. one
~ the two purposes Of the agitation
was said to be a movement against
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg'
largely on the ground of internal poi
itics. The other aim was resumptlo"
of the submarine campaign.
Peace Committee Preparing.
The German National Committee
which recently was organized under
III. presidency of Prince Won "edel 10
prepare the minds of the German peo-
ple for IAN honorable peace" Will soon
bepin its labors with series OF meet
mos in various towns in Germany.
According to Reuters correspondent
at Amsterdam, the committee Is re-
earded with profound distrust by the
Pan-Germans.
The "Berliner Tageblatt" says nifty
speakers, including politicians ana
professors of the most varied views
will deliver addresses. Professor
Adolf Hanback, will speak in Berlin
In this connection great interest IS
manifested in the report that Count
Andrassv is to succeed Baron Won
Burian as the Austrian Foreign Min
ister. Andrassy, it is known. made an
effort to arrange peace between
France and Austria. His appoint
ment. it is believed would mean re-
newed attempts to sign a separate
peace. -,
IN Since the difficulties with the
United States began with the Lulsi,
tania sinking, the Chancellor has stood
firmly for peace with the United states
and he has succeeded IN winning tne
Kaiser TO his cause. But recently the
advocates OF sterner sea policy navy
been growing more and more lnsistent.
The visit of the Chancellor TO the
front is interpreted as meaning that
the time has come now for hnal set
tlement of the dispute. If the Kaiser
rules that the submarine war shall be
renewed Hollwag will undoubtedly
quit his post.
Failed to Satisfy Enemies
The Chancellor has been quoted IN
the "Norddeutsche Allgemelne Ieituns
as saving that the terms OF peace
must INCLUDE measures TO prevent an
attack on Germany from France or
Belgium, the creation of Poland as a
buffer state and assurances that after
the war German trade would be per-
mitted to develop without hndrance.
Apparently this statementfas failed to
satisfy his enemies.
