In the reichstag, which have been In
progress since adjournment. was taken
after the chaHcelior's speech, apparent

sellor's position, however, appears to
be mistaken, and such Information as
is obtainable indicates that the cam
paign for resumption of submarine &C.
tlVlty on the Old basis has met with
no success.
After severa: days of confidential
conferences of the chancellor and
members Of his abine with a COM

and naval representatives have sup
ported the contentious of the chancellor

HollWeg's opponents nave not permit

alignment of the rcichstag parties on
the question has undergone little
changes since the struggle of last

was victorious. Part of the Catholic
