officials to make war on the social
istic minority party and possibly the
regulars too. The mutiny itself
which according to Admiral Won Ca
pelle has not threatened the COM
batiye force of the navy for one
single moment, has undoubtedly been
suppressed but not the feeling of
Indignation caused by the attempt OF
certain officials TO use the discovery
OF the unrest TO suppress the grow
ing liberal element in Germany.
Newspaper comments and speeches
OF deputies OF ali shades before the
Reichstag show very plainly that the
people are losing patience with gov
ernment officials who identity them
selves with the pan-German party
and their program OF conquest. The
chancellor and vice chancellor Helffe-
rich are now face to face with an
open movement in the Reichstag to
oust them if they should refuse to
identify themselves with the peace
resolution of the majority. Accord
ing to report of the 'Nossische Zei-
tung' there is movement on to
reinstate the former Imperial Chan

foreign secretary Won Kuehlmann
created a much better impression in

they demanded that Germany sur

Kuehlmann firmly declared Ger
many would never consider abandon

Bitter invectiye against President
Wilson featured the Reichstag de-
hate.
Deputy Haussmann argued Ger
many was not guilty Of starting the
war and the American president was
mainly guilty for It's proiongation.
Adoption by Britain of the French
war aims for Alsace.Lorraine means
war to the DEATH" Haussmann said.
Count Won Westarp, leader of the
conservatives, vituperatively assalled
President Wilson and characterized
the plan for Belgian independence as
an "Utopian dream"
only "A British or a German Bel
GUM is possible after the war;" he
asserted.
Reports from Washington say that
the government is watching The
developments in Germany with keen
interest. Members OF the cabinet
are being kept informed about the
happenings In Germany They gave
expression to the hope that the new
movement within the German empire
would gain in strength. There lis
no desire TO overestimate the reports
Of a revolutionary movement against
the present form OF government in
Germany.
