STORM IN REICHSTAG
RAISED BY MICHAELIS

London, Aug. 25.-Special dispatch
es from Amsterdam represent the
scene in the reichstag main committee
Wednesday over Chancellor Michael
is attitude on the peace resolution as
a storm which would have resulted IN
ousting him from Office in democrat
ic country. according to these ac-
counts, DR.. Michaelis was challenged
TO explain his real attitude toward
the peace resolution because when
he said July 1s he supported it he ado
ed. CAS- I understand it." This ap-
barent qualification, said Herr Mich
aelis' challengers had been seized D?
the annexationists who claimed that
the chancellor was really on their
side. ,
DR. Michaelis, in replying, made a
laborious explanation in which, IN
approving the general spirit Of the
resolution, he said differences OF
opinion were possible regarding tne
details and he had in fact noted sucn
differences among the majority par
ties. This provoked an outburst On
the part of representatives OF the ms
jority parties in name of which Herr
Ebert, Socialist leader made a de-
claration practically charging the
chancellor with falsehood.
Herr Ebert said the majorities COM
pletely agreed about the significance
OF the resolution which was nnm>s"
taxable and they insisted that the
government promulgate definite
peace policy.
