guarding the room all through the night.

the Russians in the Stanislau area, but

Halicz, the gateway to Lemberg from

Stanislau would result in Halicz being

very lively battle in which our troops
displayed admirable dash, the energetic
resistance of the enemy was broken He

money and German arms left by agents
of the kaiser, was reported today to be

assertions and under pressure from ad-

The collapse of the monarchial regime
in China was foreseen here. High Jap

that 1t would not be endured and would
receive neither internal favor nor exter-
nal recognition.
Reports received today from Picking
declared that Imperial Prince Polung-

assassinated. He was formerly a gov
eminent delegate to the st. Louis eX-
position.
The republicans of China have started
a formidable movement against Chang

lions in the republican ranks hereto

Not only is the chancellor under fire
from all parties in the reichstag over
these peace aims, but the demand for
greater liberalization in the govern

that it is expected the chancellor will
be forced to take cognizance of it.
The crisis was precipitated by pre-
liminary meetings of the reichstag COM
mittees. In one of these a Centrist
Government party member vigorously
assailed the chancellor and the gov
eminent, demanding wholesale cleo
toral reforms and announcement by
Germany of peace terms on which enc

Political Liberation
Of GERMANY Predicted


BERLIN CVia London), July 8.
alization of Germany is impending.
A weeks important conferences pre-
ceding the reichstag session brought
the situation to a head today. Tomor-
row Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg
is expected to make a formal state
ment and there is tense interest in po-
litical circles as to the attitude he
may show on electoral reforms.
From the central wing to the Social
lists all opinion in the reichstag is
united that a reformed electoral system
must be applied in Prussia. If Prussia
fails to adopt such a plan of its own
accord.
The governments promises Of vast
changes in electoral districts is con-
sidered only a small installment in
payment for the large debt owing the
pc ople by the German government.
There was a disposition indicated in
all parties today to demand Prussian
reform this fall.
According to Grandens' dispatch. the
main objection now held by German
reformists to the present electoral sys-
tenn is the preponderance of Prussian
representation in the government. In
the reichstag the kingdom of Prussia
ha s 23G deputies, six or eight times
as many members as any other king
dom or principality. In the bundesrat'
Prussia has seventeen members, near
ly three times as many as any other
section of Germany.
