A Growing Demand Being
Made in Germany for the
Chancellor's Retirement
CIRCULAR ISSUED,
CRITICIZING HIM
Statement Finds Fault with
About Everything He
Has Done

Berlin, via London, Oct. 4.-The cam
paign against Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg is daily assuming more tangible
form. One OF the latest developments is
circular, demanding the retirement of
the chancellor, sent out by vociferous
group of his opponents to such members
OF the Reichstag as are considered open
to their arguments.
The Indictment covers almost every
thing in the chancellor's conduct of for
eign affairs before and during the war
The attacks are made in particular on
his attempts to reach an agreement with
England, his first attitude toward Bel
gums neutrality and, naturally, his pol
icy in the submarine issue The only
name of international prominence among
the signers is that of Ernest Haeckel,
and the circular is regarded as sympto
matte rather than serious.
