Information here to-day indicated
general recognition among the Ger

Hollweg was their main stumbling

Count Won Bernstorn. former envoy

HoTweg is regarded as OF the super
military type. There is little evidence
here that the military aristocracy IN
Germany nor the conservatives are
ready even to talk about peace, But
there Is widespread discomfort among
the workers and the radicals. The
ranks OF the progressives are growing
daily. Austria Hungary is particular
ly affected by big popular movement

One striking feature OF the radical
move In Germany which IL arousing

any apparent curb by the German
Government or the German censorship
ra Macmillan Harden, the radical
editor His paper Die Zukunft does
not appear to have been percepu5ly
Duieted down by German censorial ac-
uylty, and Harden's editorials are
more and more violent in demanding
| .omplete democracy in Germany.
Hardens friends here declare he
Will demand a constitutional GOV
ernment in Germany as the only
method Of obtaining peace, realizing
with other radicals that a serious
peace effort is impossible with the
conservatives and the military autoc-
| racy dominating the Government

servatlves at Harden's vigorous edl-
torial preaching are given in numcr'

clared that Harden was being dubbed
