Copenhagen, Nov 8.-The threat
that a military dictatorship is newt
able unless insistence upon a radical
government of Count Won Hertling as
it now stands is accepted is held over
the Progressive Democratic elements
in Germany.
Count Won HertIing, through a semi
official note in the Norddeutsche ALI
gemeine Zeitung, announces that no
promises whatever were made to give
the radicals the two posts they de-
sire. Representative Of the reiChstag
majority have issued an equally au-
thoritatiye announcement that they
adhere to their old position. The
radical press indicates that the chan
cellor's compromise proposal to ap
point radical deputy to the newly
created ministry for occupied terri
tories with d seat in the Prussian Gao
met is not acceptable, because such
q post would be merely temporary
and the occupant would be powerless
in the face OF the military authorities
The situation is drifting rapidly to-
ward the goal desired by the reaction
aries-that is, split in the present
minority in the reichstag and the for
nation of new coalition embracing
the conservatives and the national lib
erals. Such bloc, which would have
a bare majority in the reichstag, Is
by no means impossible, notwithstand-
ing the apparent unity proclaimed BY
