Amsterdam. Oct. 11.-Another peace

About to Defy Kaiser.
New York, Oct. l0.-The German
reichstag is on the verge Of making its
first defiance Of kaiserism.
Reports that the majority reichstag
parties are contemplating a vote OF
lack of confidence in the cabinet in.
dictate hat the most critical internal
crisis of the war may be approaching.
DR.. Helfferich is the kaiser's chief
spokesman in the government and
more than any other statesman had
encouraged the Germans to continue
the war in expectation of a sufficiently
large indemnity to pay the entire cost
of the conflict. Any attack upon Helf.
ferich is by inference an attack upon
the Hohenzollerns.

when people lend money to the
