Germans Will Fight
Czarism, Says Paper
Workmen Will Demand That
the Promises Be
Fulfilled

London. May IA dispatch to Reu-
ter's Telegram Company from Amster-
dam says:
The Berlin newspaper 'Germannia
claims 70 have been informed from
Bundesrat circles that during the dis
cussions in the Committee Of Foreign
Affairs and in the Bundesrat itself. the
opinion was unanimously expressed
that it would be inopportune to discuss
Germans war aims in the Reichsiag at
the present moment"
II is remarkable. the correspondent
continues. that both the "Norwaerts
and the "Tages-Zeitung." referring TO
the struggle that is going on around
the German Imperial Chancellor, saw
that the Sight is not directed against
Dr. Won Bethmann-H ollweg personally
The "Norwaerts" asserts that the
Chancellor's aims are known. and that
the Socialists would support any Chan
cellor who theoretically promoted their
aims and turned them into a practical
policy.
The "Vorwarts" declares that II any
Chancellor should act on the lines ad-
vocated by the parties Of the Right a
severe struggle would begin, as IT
would destroy all chances Of a speedy
peace. The newspaper adds that the
workmen demand that promises TO them
be fulfilled and that they will not toll
crate that their sacrifices of maintain
ing the empire shall be nullihed and
the empire ruined by crowd OF adj
venturers.
They won't allow that Czarism
which has been destroyed in Russia TO
arise in Germany" the correspondent
quotes the "Norwarts" as saying.
