GERMAN FACTIONS
WORK FOR REFORM

London, Sept. 5.-Germany is begin
ming to talk characterization as the
first step toward peace.
Berlin news, via Holland, announc-
ed that at the session of the reich
stag convening Sept 26 the same
coalition of the Centrists and Social
Democrats which precipitated Chan
cellor Hollweg's downfall will seek to
deprive the present chancellor of sew
eral of his prerogatives.
London sees little in Berlin reports
hopeful of any real reform.
1t is the same fight as the Left par
ties put up prior to the downfall of
Hollweg.
The revolters are those who appar-
emily were content to rest after a few
additional and empty promises had
been made by the new chancellor.
London has always suspected that
Matthias Erzberger Clerical leader
and his coherts were used by the gov
ernment to fake a reform movement
by which the government might oust
Won Bethmann-Hollwe They may be
in use now again.
On the other hand, the Clericals are
the Catholic party of Germany and
have been profoundly stirred by Pope
Benedicts peace plea. They may also
have been equally stirred by Presi
dent Wilson's reply, laying down dem
ocratization as the prime requisite to
discussion of peace with Germany

lines ahead in the Brestovizza valley,
in the district south of Gorilla and
working further forward eastward
over the great BainsizZa plateau.
The fall of Monte San Gabrielle. the
chief remaining vantage point OF the
Austrians aside from their Carso
strongholds, is considered only mat
ter of time.
There has been no renewal of the
Flanders fighting on a large scale as
yet, although the intensity of the ar
tillery fire suggests that this is inn
pending The British, however are

Amsterdam, Sept. 5. - Vienna pa
pers, like those of Germany, use the
reply of President Wilson to Pope
Benedict's peace proposals as a vehi-
Gle to heap personal abuse on the
president. The Vienna Nieue Freie
Presse says
Even an unprecedented perusal must
lead to the conclusion that President
Wilson's reply is the most partisan
presentation imaginable, that lacks all
Justice, is filled with malignity and
prejudice against Germany and shows
that President Wilson has no inkling

the character of the German people.

"nonsensical."

DRIVE ON PETROCRAD
NEXT GERMAN MOVE

London, Sept 5.-A quick. hard
drive from Riga to Petrograd is Lon
don's forecast of Germany's Russian
campaign Riga, Russia big Baltic
port is in the hands of the Germans.
Military experts believe Germany
will do her utmost in speed.
The Germans must go far in the
32O-mile journey toward the Russian
capital before freezing weather sets
in if they expect to rely on the Ger
man Baltic fleets aid
They may also be expected to hurry
with all speed to cover as much
ground as possible before General
Korniloff can carry out his palms for
regeneration of the Russian army.
Retreating Russians are burning vii
lagos and laying waste the country.
If the Russians manifest a proper
fighting spirit military authorities
agree they will easily block the Ger
man drive.
Russians Aided by Nature.
The ground from Riga to Petrograd
is of nature lending itself readily to
defense.
Small bodies of Russian troops could
play havoc with greatly superior at
tacking forces attempting an advance
over such broken terrain.
In the opinion Of observers here
much depends on the Russian flee
stopping the expected German drive
II mutinous sailors can be quelled ant
discipline and fighting spirit restored
