BERLIN. March 21.-Herr Won Heyde-

weekly review in the Tageblatt. of which
he is the editor i'm chief
Herr Wolff commenting on the Conser-
vatives' support in the Reichstag of the
resolution regarding the conduct of the
war says:
Many Of us have always been con-
WINGED that the political progress Of
Germany is only to he expected through
the Conservatives The members of the
other parties with honorable exceptions.
are with difficulty brought to act, and
are often tired before bedtime
when the storm-tried Conservatives
desire to protect their interests or carry
their purpose through they throw every
thing that hinders them aside. If they
can only realize their desires in the Reich
stag they will-heatedly as they will re-

''The Kreuz zeitung has declared frank
ly that the motions which the conserv-
atives and 80 National Liberals are TO
support in the Reichstag are intended to
express the feeling that the Government
does not possess longer that confidence
which In itself is certainly most desira-
ble"; I'm other words, that the motions
shall either impel Doctor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg to change his opinion or shall
make his position as Imperial Chancellor
impossible for him.

Premier BRAND as an invasion of the pre-
negatives of the army leaders, although |
this Interpolation, too, affected only con-

"Our Conservatives and 80 National
Liberals. in their fiery demand for new
parliamentary rights, stormed much fur

up elsewhere. They not only demand in
public session explanations of closely allied |
political and military motives, to which |
the Government is paying heed, but also |
prescribe in sharply formulated resolu-

forward development is moving somewhat
rapidly. and we must have time to accus-

fallen rather into desuetude since the
French convention.
Herr Won Heydebrand remains, never
