AMSTERDAM. March 2S.--The Iossischc
/ettnnD lays thai Chancellor Won Beth
mann-iiOllweg will address one of the
sessions of the budget committee con-
corning the resolution proposed by the
Conservative. National Liberal and Gem
tire parties of the Rsichstlg regarding
the Unrestricted use of submarines.
The newspaper adds that in matters
which cannot be discussed in public
much depends upon the confidence OF the
people In the Chancellor. The ncar
future will show. the paper says, how
much public confidence Is enjoyed by
Chancellor o I'ethmann-lIollweg.
According tn the EOssiSch' /onuHJ
the attitude of the press in Holland and
various other neutral countries shows
that the political representation Of Ger
many in those countries does not
strengthen the weight of the military
successes.
In regard to the United States the
POSsiSche /citnnO says:
"The American danger, az viewed in
German political circles, is always ex-
aggerated. but the Importance Of Il rup-
ture Of relations with such "A powerful
nation should not he underestimated."

Only to PrOlOmx War.

declares in a letter addressed to a prom
inent Nationalist that the best interest
OF Ireland lies in the speedy and victori-
ous termination OF the war. lie points
out that attempts to obstruct recruiting
IN ireland and other pro-tierman Efforts
would result merely In the %prolongation
Of the war.
Mr.. Redmond wrote the letter to en-
press his disardIroval Of a proposed pub
lie meeting to protest against further
taxation IN Ireland. He declares that
such an action would be called an Irish
constitutiOnalist movement by men "whu
are either proc German or opposed to re-
ciuiting In Ireland and committed Ia
the monstrous doctrine that Ireland
should remain neutral In this war"
1.-THE men who seek to prejudice Ire
land In the eyes of the world he says
"by making q ridiculous claim fo'
exemption from war taxes are the very
men who. by their apathy. their so-calied
neutrality, their hostility to recruiting
and their pro- ermanism are doing theil
best to prolong the war"
