SUPPORT GERMAN CHANCELLOR

Rsiehstaq Not Likely to Approve Re-
sumption Of Submarine Campaign.
Berlin, Oct. 6.-Efforts to compose
the differences between Chancellor Won
Bethmann Hollweg and his opponents
apparently have accomplished little.
The chancellor's position, however. ap-
pears unshaken and such information
as is obtainable indicated that resump-
ton Of the Submarine campaign on the
old basis has met with no success. :
After conferences between the, cab
met and members Of the reichstag
discussion OF the submarine issue was
resumed today before the ways and
means committee
Herr Won Jagow, secretary for for
eign affairs. and Admiral Won Capelle.
secretary for the navy made state
ments explaining the position Of the
government. The naval secretary fire.
quently interposed in the debate which
followed. The following probably may
be taken as fairly accurate statement
Of the situation.
In Accord With Won Hindenburg.
The conferences thus far have not
brought the opposing elements much
nearer together. They have shown the
chancellor to be In full accord with
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, the
chief Of staff. and the navy depart
ment. The naval department has sup
ported the chancellor in his purpose to
restrict the submarine campaign.
No new arguments were introduced.
The alignment of the reichstag parties
on the question has undergone little
change since the struggle Of last
spring. Part Of the Catholic center, 1t
is true, has beer, shown to be amenable
to arguments Of the opposition. but DR..
Peter SPAIN and other centrist leaders
are still supporting DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. Mr.. SPAIN, in a speech, do
tended strongly the position Of the
chancellor.
Chancellor to Retain Support.
Even In the unlikely contingency
that some Of the centrists disregard
the unit rule and vote against the
chancellor, should ths test come. this
detection would be counterbalanced by
the group headed by Deputy Schitfer
and Red Prince" Schoenich- -Carolath,
which is out Of sympathy with the in
trigue against the chancellor.
Even the conservative camp is not
united. The free conservative wing
under Baron Zedlitz has declared It.
self out Of sympathy with the move
ment. Ali in ali, it seems there is a
very little chance that the submarine
campaign win be resumed. Confirma-
tory evidence Is found In the stock
market.
