BIC GERMAN WAR
CREDIT is VOTED
Reichstag Acts on Measure
Without Debate.
SOCIALISTS OPPOSE BILL

Chancellor Says People Long for New
and Splendid Germany. Morally Pu-
rified, Loyal and Peaceful to Attain
Which They Will Continue to Fight.
Copenhagen, July 23-The German
reichstag has voted without discus
sion the third reading of the bill pro-
viding for war credit of $4,000, ,000,-
000 marks (abOut $3,450. 900, ,000). The
minority against the measure was
made up of independent Socialists.
DR. Michaelis, the new chancellor,
in his first address to the reichstag,
made no new important declarations
concerning the war.
What we long to attain" the chan
cellor went on, lis a new and splen-
did Germany, not Germany which
wishes, as our enemies believe, to ter
rorize the world with her armed
might, no; the morally purified, God
fearing. loyal, peaceful and mighty
Germany which we all love For this
Germany we shall fight and endure
For this Germany we and our broth
ers out there will bleed and die For
this Germany we shall fight our way
through, despite all force
DR. Michaelis' address was given a
courteous and appreciative hearing ex
cept for Socialist interjections on oc
casions. The Conservatives sat silent
while the chancellor was making his
reference TO peace, but began inter
rupting and challengine statements ot
opposition members when the latter
took the floor.
The delay of the chancellor in in
stituting cabinet changes has caused
some unfavorable sentiment in the
reichstag
His course is interpreted as a move
to prevent any parliamentary criticism
of or controversy over the new ap
pointments by deferring announce
ment of them until the reichstag is nC
longer in session.
