HOLLWEG ION THE FENCE"

Believed Trying to Delay Peace Ohcr
Until Fall.
London, MayS.-The opinion pre-
walls in British circles that the Ger
man chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollwcg, is Sitting on the fence" in
the matter of announcing German
peace proposals 1t is believed here
that he is playing for time in an at
tempt to let the fighting run through
the summer before he commits HIM
self.
The German chancellor IS anxious
to see the outcome Of the submarine
campaign of the fighting on the west
ern front, and of the Russian crisis
before he definitely announces a mo
annexation" program. Likewise, it is
believed, he is delaying in the matter
of internal reforms.
According to Reuter- dispatch
from Amsterdam, the pan-German
newspapers advocate the holding Of
public meetings to protest against
''the chancellor's weakness when the
empire seriously needs strong guild
ance.
