SOCIAL DEMOCRATS BELIEVE
AFFAIRS NEED OVERHAULING

Berlin, July 7 (via London, July 81.
Following hard upon the heels OF
the mass of the plain-spoken edito-
rial comment based on the hair-tri
ger tension in the relations between
the reichstag and the government
comes the official news that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and General
Won Ludendorff. his chief-of- staff,
have arrived in Berlin for confer
ence with the emperor.
The Tagesblatt names Matthias Erz-
berger, a leader or the clerical CEN
ter, as the man who took the lid off
the seething political kettle and paved
the way for the discussion which re-
suited in common meeting ground
for all but the pan-German faction in
Fridays session of tho main commit
tee.
Herr Erzberger's discussion of the
internal situation is said to have been
remarkable for its lucidity and can
dor. 1t was augmented effectively by
the utterances of social democrats,
who related the impressions they had
conference and in neutral countries.
Their deduction was that affairs in
Germany must be subjected forthwith
to a thorough overhauling for the
good Of the German people and the
German empire. The majority faction
of the social democrats also is con-
vinced that the government must
make positive declaration that it is
opposed to all policies Of annexation
either In the east or west
While all the sessions Of the main
committee are looked on as confiden-
tial, the Tagesblatt reveals enough of
Fridays proceedings to warrant the
conclusion that the discussion covered
the entire range Of internal political
reforms.

Berlin, Saturday, July (via Lon
don, July S).-Unless all present in
dications fail, in the course of the
next few days the German empire Is
on the eve of momentous, If not
historical parliamentary upheaval.
= Developments in the last forty-eight
hours point to a significant realign-
ment of various factions in favor of
sweeping electoral and parliamentary
reforms.
Although the sessions of the main
committee and the constitutional
committee have been of an executive
nature, press comments permit the IN
ference that the discussions of vital
subjects of governmental policy fire.
quently reached the boiling point.
That they have been of gravely sig
nificant import is indicated clearly by
the sudden decision to postpone the
Saturday plenary session which was
general debate and the expected
speech of Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg.
Comment on HolIweg's Absence.
The absence of the chancellor from
the session of the main and the con-
stitutional committees in the last few
days has caused general comment in
parliamentary circles as exceptional,
in view of the confidential character
of the discussions.
Monday will mark the inauguration
of what promises to be one of the
most memorable parliamentary ses-
sons in the history of the empire. All
the reiehstag factions remained in
session in individual groups until late
last night to decide what action might
be taken.
The Zeitung Am Mittag says that a
deputation of six members from the
social democratic party in the reich
stag called on Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg Friday for the purpose
of impressing the gravity of the sit
uation on him. The delegates insist
90 tnat the chancellor make an un-
equivocal declaration that the govern
ment was prepared at any time to
enter into peace negotiations on the
basis of the status quo. The deputa-
ton also demanded immediate intro
duction of parliamentary and cleo
toral reforms, urging the appointment
of leading reichstag deputies to sec
retaral and ministerial posts.
Minister Slated, Report.
There are rumors that Prof. Adolf
Won Harnack, one of the most inti-
mate advisers of the emperor. is
slated to succeed Herr Won Trott Zu
Solz as Prussian minister of educa-
tion. The present minister Is said, to
be opposed to sweeping electoral re-
forms.

To ASK CONGRESS
FOR 800 MILLION
FOR SHIP BUILDING
Second Appropriation May Be
Used Largely for Wooden
Construction, Denman S
Statement IntimateS.


Washington, July 8.--Another ap-
preparation of $500,000,000 for ship
building probably will be asked Of
congress Immediately by the admin
istration. Contracts already let and
about to be closed, the shipping board
announced tonight, have used the
first $500, 100000.
Announcement of the intention to ask
for second appropriation was con-
tanned in statement issued tonight
by Chairman Denman of the shipping
board. which carried the intimation
that the second sum may be used
largely for wooden construction.
"The vast resources OF quick wood
construction" II said. "are still far
from exhausted and we believe more
steel contracts can be placed. We
need wooden vessels of both slow and
fast speeds. The slower can relieve
our coastwise congestion and our car
shortage. Many wooden ships can be
built which are faster than the ma
jority Of the vessels now crossing the
war zone"

French Front in France, July S.
Sergeant Andrew Campbell won in Q
Tight with death, with the chances
one million to one against him, while
flying with the Lafayette squadrilla
yesterday afternoon. The lower left
wing Of his airplane broke off when
he was soaring mile high. Only
his presence of mind and GOODNESS
saved him. Campbell threw all the
controls on the other side and vol
plancd some distance In order to de-
tach the floating remnants of the
broken wing which were beating
against the body OF the machine and
threatening to dislocate everything
Then, when he had succeeded in this
maneuver, he descended slowly on
the remaining wing into a beet field
without injury to himself. The slight
est turn in the air would have meant
leath.
This accident was preceded by the
ceremony of the presentation OF an
American flag to the squadrilla by dn
employe of the treasury department
at Washington. French and Ameri-
can aviators from several squadrillas
were paraded on the flying grounds
for the ceremony which was a fine
spectacle Of the fraternity OF the two
nations. The famous Alpine band
played the national anthems of both
countries.
Promoted for Bravery.
Before the ceremony Corporals
Campbell. Bridgeman, Hewitt. Hinkle
and Droxel were promoted to be SER
geants for bravery during recent op-
erations. They with others, have
been operating along the whole front
where they drove off dozens of Ger
man fighting machines during the
German offensive last week.
In the week from June "a to June
80 they fought seventeen air duels
and as the result of their recon-
naissances furnished the French with
most valuable information. Lufbery
and Willis had four engagements
each; Bigelow and Lowell two each;
1haw, Haville, Soubiran, Hall and the
French lieutenant, De Maison- Rouge.
one each.
Hall, who is newcomer, after
serving as q machine gunner in the
British army, while making his Sec
ond flight with the Lafayettes was
wounded severely. He was decorated
with the military medal for attacking
single handed seven German airmen.
Infantrymen on the ground stopped
their fighting to watch the stirring
combat which ended in Hall being
wounded in three places. He lost
fnn ut
miles but recovered his senses wheI.
within 100 feet of the ground and
brought his machine safely within
his own lines.
Lowell Is Injured.
Walter Lowell also suffered an ac-
cident. The motor broke down in the
air and the machine, out of control,
descended astride trench in the
French lines. The unconscious avia-
tor was taken from his machine byl
an officer and it was found he was
not seriously hurt.
