M|CHAEL|S FACES
STERN OPPOSITION
Criticism and Demand for Par
liamentary Reform Grow
in Strength.
NEW COUNCIL A STOPGAP

By the Associated Press
BERLIN, August &c. via London, Au-
gust Eff frank discussion and un-
blushing criticism are capable of
bringing on parliamentary reforms, it
may be said that Saturdays proceed
ings in the reichstag main committee
have given increased nome ntum to the
movement. To this must be added the
volume OF piainspoken editorial COM
ment by the liberal press. which states
frankly that il will mot be satisfied
with half measures or substitute make
shifts.
The discussion of national politics
was continued by the committee yester-
day Chancellor Michaelis twice took
the floor for the purpose of explaining
his newly created council. made up of
seven reichstag deputies and seven
members of the bundesrat, over which
he is to preside. The new council will
hold its first meeting Tuesday for the
purpose of discussing the govern
ment's reply to the papal peace note.
The social democrats. centrists. nation
al liberals and progressives have agreed
TO cooperate with the government on
this issue.

HleHI reply 10 the papai peace note
The social democrats. centrists. nation
al liberals and progressives have agreed
TO cooperate with the government on
this issue.
Further Reforms Demanded.
The various factions. however. have
informed the chancellor they have ac-
cepted the newly organized body as n
provisionary device and consider il the
manent measures which will secure to
the reichstag constitutional preroga-
tives and greater responsibilities.
With other demands, the coalition
will urge notification of paragraph 3
of the imperial constitution which pro-
hibits reichstag deputies from becom-
ing members of the federal council
Elimination of this restriction would
facilitate appointment of members OF
parliament TO secretaryships which
carry with them membership in the
bundesrath.
Detailed reports of yesterdays ses-
sion of the main committee. at which
the various factions apparently strove
10 outdo one another in the candor of
their criticism. indicate that the chan
cellor was an attentive auditor and
showed no inclination to oppose some
of the more emphatic demands. In a
statement supplementing his speech in
the forenoon he said he would con-
sent to consider the seven reichstag
deputies in the new council as repre-
sentativeS of their political factions
The session afforded the party repre-
sentatives ample opportunity to bring
up their grievances Among them was
the statement of Matthias Erzberger.
leader OF the centrists. that his party
had not received proper recognition in
the distribution of government honors.
Hasty Action Not Urged.
The session gave the impression that
advoeaseo--0f parliamentary -fefUff1s are
inclined to support the chancellor in his
dertaken hastily. 1t Is plain at this date,
however, that the coalition which has
been augmented immeasurably by the ad-
hesioE of the national liberals now con-
stitutes an invincible reichstag majority
with which the chancellor must reckon
which will enter the new session next
month with a definitely outlined program
That the majority parties are not in
clined to give the newly created council
permanent importance is indicated by
press comment. The following deputies
have been elected by their parties to
membership in the council:
Socialist democrats. Philip scheide-
mann and Friedrich Ebert: centrists
Matthias ErZberger and Herr Fehrenbach:
progressive, Friedrich Won Payer: ma
tional liberal, DIR. Gustav Stresemann;
conservative, Count Won Westarp.
While slip OF the tongue by the chan
cellor ard bungled report of Wednes-
days session were directly responsible for
the tension of the past week, the exist
ence of much combustible material of a
political and parliamentary nature is
likely to call forth other fiare-ups. on ac-
count of the present mood and temper OF
the reichstag majority. Wednesdays
ruction Is synptomatc OF the majority $
growing appetite for increased authority
and responsibility. and further conflicts in
the attempt to appease that appetite are
hardly avoidable.

Rabies or
Hydrophobia
Continued from page ~

INITIATED in any way. The sus-
pected rabies animal should be
killed by other means than shoot
ing through the head. The head
should be removed, placed in a tin
container and sealed or tightly COW
cred. In cold weather it is only
necessary to pack the container in
box and ship it to the laboratory
by express. In warm weather or
in case it requires several days for
the head to reach the laboratory,
and where there is danger of de-
composition, the container should
be packed in ice. Care should be
exercised in removing the head of
rabid animal as there is always
danger of becoming infected by the
discharge or secretions of the body,
especially if they should get in a
fresh wound. A convenient way
to remove the head is to fasten a
wire firmly around the upper jaw
of the animal, holding this in one
hand and severing the head from
the body with an ak, cleaver or
sharp knife. In this way it is I'M
necessary to come in contact with
the animals body. The instrument
used for this purpose should be
thoroughly disinfected and the body
of the animal should be burned or
deeply buried.
1t is suggested that specimens of
this kind, when sent to the labora-
tory, be accompanied by an explain
atory letter or telegram so the
sender can be given immediate no.
tice of the result of the examin-
alton.
