MISTAKE FOR CHANCELLOR
TO RETIRE, SAYS AUSTRIA

Associated Press
Lokal AnzeiEcr says a communication
from the AuStro- Hungarian government
has been received in Berlin declaring
that DR.. Won Bethmann- HollweS's con-
tinuance in Office as Chancellor is OF
importance, and his retirement pos
SihlE fatal mistake. The telegram
was obviously dispatched before the
decision on the Prussian franchise was
taken. which is generally interpreted
i'll Berlin rs a sign that pr. Won Beth
mann Hollweg would remain. The
l.okal AnzeiEer attributes the telegram
TO Count czernin. the Austro- Hungarian
Foreign Minister.
The executive committee of the
Catholic Center of the Reichstag. on
the other hand. believes DR.. Won Beth
mann-HollweG unSuited TO conduct
peace negotiations. and says he should
he replaced before an ultimate peace
conference.
The attitude OF this great party,
which is of quite as much Importance
as the views OF Count Czernin on the
same subject, and which have been re-
reatedly denied. is somewhat cleared
by the announcement OF the party or
gan. Germania.
CONTINUANCE IN OFFICE
NO HINDRANCE TO PEACE
While denying the report that the
party had demanded the Chancellors
retirement. for which lat present" there
is no compelling ground. or that it
had an interest in unseatinE him. Ger
mania says the party considers the
Chancellor scarcely fitted to participate
in the peace negotiations. particularly
since the declaration of war occurred
under his administration. but that il is
erroneous TO consider his further con-
tiruance in Office Il hindrance To peace.
The distinction drawn indicates that
the Centrist leaders believe the Chan
cellor may remain for the present. but
should resign before the actual peace
conference. This corresponds with
another declaration of Germania that
the Chancellor will accept a resolution
on war aims of the majority parties
in the Reichstag. This resolution based
on the formula of Herr Erzberger. the
Centrist leader will be presented to the
ReichstaE tomorrow. and will restate
the Chancellor's announcement at the
outbreak of the war that Germany was
undertaking a defensive war and de-
clare that the majority of the Reich
stag now favors peace based on a mu-
tual understanding and lasting recon
Citation of nations.
AS long as the enemy governments
refuse this the German people and
Reichstas. the resolution will say. are
united in a determination 10 fight on
until the rights OF Germany and its
allies are assured. Although the Ma
tional Liberal party has withdrawn
from the majority block leaders of the
latter except 800 votes for the resolu-
ton. including those of the Poles.
Alsatians and Danes.
