In addition, five members of the
Prussian cabinet will be asked to re.

1t Is believed this decision reflects
the emperor's decision to stand by the
chancellor IN the crisis.
According to Berlin newspapers
reaching Berne, Switzerland, the chan
cellor told the reichstag that "the for
mula Of peace without lamentations is
unacceptable to lis. We cannot de.
clare our terms Of peace. We must
fight and conquer"
The chancellor made a strong at.

main committee last week and advo.

A Berlin despatch TO the Cologne

says that after the chancellor made his
address, Matthias Erbzerger, the cen
trist leader declared that the debate
had strengthened his conviction that
the whole situation required energetic
action by the reichstag. He combat.

Germans and other annexionists.
To this the chancellor, according to
the summary Of his speech published
In the Lokal Anzeiger, Of Berlin,
said:

LARGE SUMS USED BY
GERMAN PLOTTERS IN
INDIAN CONSPIRACY
Money of American Millionaire
Used in One Instance
by Germans.

San Francisco, Dec 12.-Further in
dications of the immensity of German
financial transactions incident to the
alleged conspiracy to foment revolu-
tion against British rule in India were
brought out here today at the trial of
81 persons charged with conspiracy in
the proposed revolution.
William Wilms, milliona ire lumber
man and land owner of Chicago, who
was a friend of BaSon Hans Won Refs
witt, former acting consul general for
Germany at Chicago, testified that at
the baron's request he had advanced
$4,000. which was later paid him on
Won Reiswitz's personal check, to a
Chicago jeweler for letters of credi,
that were dispatched to Manila and
Oriental cities for the ostensibIe pur-
pose of purchasing Oriental antiques
The prosecution charged this money
went to Hindu agents of the alleged
conspiracy.
The prosecution introduced further
papers seized by federal officers in the
office of Wolf Won Igel, former conf
Dental representative of the German
embassy at Washington. Among thes,
was a memorandum which prosecu.
tion alleged showed that Won Igel hat
paid $4,000 to Dhirenda Sakar, one o
the Hindu defendants.

The Posts washington bureau.
Washington, Dec. l2.-A\plan is
beir 9 developed in the war de-
partment to bring General Per-
shing home from France and
make him chief of staff of the
United States army. If this plan
is carried through it is probable
that he will be succeeded as head
of the American eXpeditionary
forces by Gen. Thomas H. Barry,
long commander of the central
department of the army, with
headquarters at Chicago.
It is believed that the knowledge that
has been acquired ny General Pershins
would make him invaluable as head
and directing spirit of the general staff
during the remainder OF the war. Cen
ornl Pershing has visited all fronts on
the western line and has been a close
obs erVer of the operations of British,
[ French and Belgian forces. lie has
studied the work of those governments
in supplying their armies and in mov-
! ing those supplies to advantageous

! General Pershing now has a greater
