SCHEIDEMANN IN STIRRING SPEECH
Phillip Scheidemann. in introducing the
Social Democratic Interpolation, said
The party decision does not demand i'm :
mediate peace but action by the Socialists
of all countries. We adhere to the same
point of view as contained in the demand
of August 4, the territorial integrity of Ger
many and her economic independence and
development: but today we still refuse to
Cypress foreign peoples. On both sides the
nations are being put off with the promise OF
an imminent final decision. Ii is our task
to expose this playing with the life of peo-
pies and we cry to all governments, 1t Is
enough
The supporters of conquest shout for
increase of power increase of territory,
money and raw material. That can only be
wanted by a nationally organized gang of
robbers" (This statement provoked a
storm OF indignation on the Right) THE
drawing of the Kaiser into this agitation
has as result that abroad the Kaiser is
made responsible for Pan-German madness
and the outbreak of war and that he Is con-
tinually being nsulted.
Peace by agreement would be good for
tune for Europe. Ninety-nine per cent OF
all the peoples look with hope and longing

IN conclusion. I merely wish to dispel
the idea that there is to be any wastage
or extravagant use of the s2,000.000 which
mas been placed at our disposal for war
purposes We agreed upon that, as well as
the use Of the machinery of the state gov
ernment, at yesterdays meeting. and | do
not anticipate the slightest hitch in our
plans or the slightest misunderstandings
among us.
We are confronted with great as well
as a patriotic task, and we owe 1t to our
country as well as to our state to do every
thing In our power to carry out these pur-
poses for which we were created members

policy. and the Councils demand for his
official head.
A. F. Eerensky a Socialist Minister OF
Justice, has been appointed Minister OF War
succeeding Guchkoff.
NJ Tereschenko, Minister of Finance. has
been named acting Foreign Minister.
The Executive Committee OF the Duma
has affirmed the refusal Of the Government
to proclaim as fundamental condition Of
peace that Russia seek no more territory
nor demand any indemnities AS a result
of the Governments refusal, members OF
the Council of workmens and Soldiers
Deputies have refused to enter the Ministry.
These developments leave tine Russian sit
uation once again wide open. They came after
, many elements in Petrograd had hailed with
relief the action Of the council in voting for
acceptance of the Duma Governments offer
of a coalition of forces to restore govern
mental order. The terms OF the councils
acceptance were not made public, except ii
was hinted that it had demanded Paul
y. Miliukoff. Minister OF Foreign Affairs,
must not appear in the reorganized cab
met. Milukoff's resignation, however, has
failed 10 satisfy the councils demands.
From the Governments rejection OF the
proposal today it appears the council went
much further than mere demand for Milu-
koff's head and possibly insisted upon
formal renunVation by the new coalition
government Of certain agreements with the
Allies.
The Duma Governments rejection de-
clared II was impossible to expect Russia
| TO renounce the principles enunciated on
| April .. The Government further insisted,
| the council was told, that ii was necessary
| To confirm the unity OF all forces on all
Allied fronts and to wage an energetic
| struggle against internal anarchy.
DUMA COMMITTEE CONCURS
The Duma Ministry's refusal was con-
! CURED in by the Duma committee. 1t was
| later announced
The principles enunciated on April .
were in the form OF proclamation to the
Russian people, signed by Prince Lvoff,
| president of the council This statement
| declared Russia did not seek to 'humiliate
| or subjugate" but did not specifically re-
| nounce claims to indemnity. The Soldiers
and workmen's Council has heretofore
strongly demanded "a policy of mo annexa-
tions and no indemnties" and IT is pre-
sumably this rock on which the two forces
in the Russian situation have now split.
Coalition was decided upon by the eXecu-
tive committee Of the workmen's and SOL

House decided by a vote Of 1893 to 1873
upon censorship, less rigorous than
that urged by the administration, al.
though retaining many features Of the
original proposal.
The administration espionage bill
was then passed by the House late yes

The modification Of the censorship
section Of the espionage bill consists
Of provision for jury trial; the jury to
determine not only whether the pro.
hibited matter is published Wilfully,
but also whether the information is
useful to the enemy. The administra-
ton provision presumed wilful publ.
cation and delegated to the President
the power to decide whether the mat
ter might be useful to the enemy.
