tors were made objects of veritable
TRADE of condemnation in the senate

POSITION
IS N|SREPRESENTED
German Agents the Cause Of
It---Want To Strengthen
Stockholm Meeting

Petrograd, May l4.-Germany's prop
aganda is now seeking to distort Am
eriea's position in the eyes of new
Russia.
tonishingly patent falsehoods of the po.
sition which the United States has as
sumed are being given daily publica-
ton in Russian newspapers. Today, all
Petrograd newspapers featured a Gre
port from Paris" that the Washington
government is censoring all press re-
ports from Stockholm relating to the
June socialists peace meeting
Heretofore newspapers have printed
similar Hreports' including a state
ment that the American government
is forbidding all socialists to leave the
United States to attend the Stockholm
conference.
The animus behind such "reports
is plainly pro-German. Germany is
bringing every effort to make the
Stockholm pro-German conference OF
socialists success. To achieve a for
midable movement for separate peace
between Russia and Germany.
The propaganda is all the more in
sidious because the "reports 81 come in
the guise of news in such shape that
Russian newspapers are impelled to dis
play them prominently.
Even Maxim Gorky, who is well ac
auainted with America, has apparently
been deceived by such reports. His
newspaper today contained an editor
ial bitterly criticising America fo1
q censorship" on news of the Stock
holm conference.

Amsterdam Dispatch Makes
This AnnOumcement--Itis
COrTObOrated
HE HAS JUST RETURNED
FROM VISIT TO VIENNA
Hmdenburg and His Military
Coterie Are After the
ChancellOr's S Scalp

London, May IA. - Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg will probably make
announcement of the Central Powers ,
Feace terms in a speech to the reich
stag tomorrow, an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Amsterdam asserted to-
day. The German chancellor has Just
returned to Berlin from series of con-
ference with officials in Vienna Prior
to this he went to German great head
quarters for conference with the
kaiser.
Other information from Germany, re-
ceived today via Holland, indicated that
the chancellor on Tuesday would make
a speech in the reichstag, outlining the
general military and political situation,
but not covering Germany's IS peace aims.
Such statement will be withheld until
July, when the reichstag is to be re-
convened, according to German news
papers.
That section of the German press
which is hostile to Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg declared today that the chancellor
resignation to the kaiser. The most cir
cumstantial of these stories insisted
that Field Marshal Won Hindenbure
raised storm of objection to the re
| form recommended by the constitution
committee, which would grant the reich
stag control over the army and that hi
and his junker friends conceived TIL,
plan OF multiplying the committee ;.
recommendations by terminating tht
reiehstag sitting, rather than recessins
the body until later in the summer o.
fall Such procedure would mean auto
matte death of the constitution commit
tee, necessary for reappointment anC
repetition of its work = which woulC
avert another issue between the reich
stag and the army for several months.
Would Stir Up Liberals
Hollweg flatly refused to take such I
course, insisting German liberals coulc
not be held IN check if such trick wer
played upon them. He was said to hav
announced an ultimatum to the kaise
that he would resign if such schem
were attempted to have won out owe
Hindenburg.
The fact that he did succeed in tri
umphing over Hindenburg was believe
by Holland observers to have made hi
position even more insecure since Hin
denburg's advocates are now definitel
aligned against him.
Hollweg returned from German head
quarters Saturday and left the same ev
ening for Vienna. On Sunday night h
started the return trip to Berlin.
