Garry Fight to Floor of Reich
stag Thursday.
Won Tirpitz Party Bent on I'm
restricted Warfare.

Berlin, Oct. 3.-Efforts of the Won
Tirpitz party to force a resumption of
submarine warfare will be defeated as
the result of the conferences now be-
ing held in secret sessions of the
reichstag committee, it is now gen.
orally believed. The Tirpitzites, how
ever. hope to force a public discussion
of the whole question when the reich
stag reconvenes Thursday.
Ernest Basserman, gray-haired ma
tional liberal party leader and one of
the most important figures in the
reichstag, declared today after the
question has been aired in the budget
committee meetings, it will be fully
discussed in open session.
I'VE wish to live in peace and
friendship with America said Bas-
sermen, but undoubtedly there is Bit
ter feeling here because American
supplies of ammunition enable our
enemies to continue the war. If
America should succeed in forcing
England to obey international law,
restore freedom of the seas and pro-
ceed with American energy against
England's brutalization of neutrals, it
would have decisive influence on the
political situation between the two
countries"
"Do you think submarine warfare
will be renewed?" he was asked.
THAT must be decided by the for
eign office, the ministry of marine
and the general staff was the reply.
England is our chief enemy We
must recognize this and defeat her.
