The movement for the overthrow OF
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg.
halted for time by the adoption OF
ruthless submarine warfare is again
becoming evident in Germany. The
agitation is encouraged by dissension
over international reforms, possible
peace terms and food troubles.
The Pan-German conservative and
national liberal organs are today sharp
ly campaigning against the socialist
peace program and take the chancel-
lor severely to task for not disasso-
ciating his administration from
Scheidemann and his propaganda.
The conservative Deustche Tages
Zeitung demands strong hand at the
helm. which alone, it says, can save
the country from the breakers toward
which it is heading on the dangerous
Scheidemann course.
The Pan-German annexation crowd
is said to have turned a trick against
the socialists by exploiting peace
program which they claim the German
socialists will put forward at the
Stockholm conference.

little home made presents, even tobac-

St AIN SENDS
War THREAT

Amsterdam, April 26-The text of
SPANS note to Germany. as given in a
Berlin dispatch. while conveying a
grave warning that the end Of Spanish
patience Is in sight, also contains
suggestion that a crisis may be averted
through negotiation.
The note says. in part:
All the repeated attempts OF the
Spanish government, undertaken with
traffic and the lives of it's sailors. have
failed in the face Of the imberturbable
resolution of the imperial government
to employ unusual and violent war
measures"
The note then complains, of the Sc
ries OF restrictions Germany has i'm
posed on Spanish shipping and Of the
ing. 1t declares that these methods
render the economic existence of Spain
almost impossible. The note continues:
IAN these prove that Germany's in
tentions neither aim at acknowledging
our rights. nor take into account. as
they should. the requests of country
whose friendship. until today, was un-
abated and whose neutrality was pre-
served without wavering.
Hopes to Negotiate.
"If the imperial government persists
in declaring that it adheres to its de-
termination in order to defend its life
it must not be astonished il Spain. for
the same reason. must emphasize. the
right to defend her own life. Despite
negative replies to its previous note
the Spanish government still trusts that
the German government will be guided
by regard for the lives of our seamen
and the safety of our ships.
The Spanish government hopes that
the imperial government. fully appre-
ciating the difficult economic situation
N Spain. will enter into a discussion
regarding measures which may be for
the mitigation of difficulties which
have arisen in Spain"

French to Tell of
Conscription.

From The Tribune Washington Bureau
Washington, ID. c., April 26-Strong
demand that the government speed up
army preparations and get troops ON
the French fighting line is reflected In
the debates in Senate and House over
the conscription bill, which continued
today This demand is heard both
among the friends of CONSUMPTION and
the friends of volunteering. At the
same time congress as a wnole is slow
in passing needed army legislation,
both as regards the bill for the new
army and appropriations.
One of the chief arguments OF ths
supporters of volunteering is that 1t
would make possible the early send
ing of an expeditionary force to El-
scription plan is followed, the new
100000 army raised under selective
draft, will not be modified until Sep
tember or October instead of August,
as the war department asserts.
Both Sides Ask Speed.
On the other hand, the hackers of
conscription assert that while it will
take from eight to 10 months of train
ing to get the new army in shape to
army and the national guard can be
made ready to send abroad in much
less time.
The fact that the French commission.
especially Marshal Joffre and the mill
itary members of the commission who
are being received here today, believe
sending of an American eXpeditionary
force to France advisable, both for it's
moral effect and for other reasons.
and that this subject will be discussed
is likely to have most important bear
ing on the military situation here. 1t
is not unlikely Marshal Joffre will be.
invited to appear before the Senate or
House military committee or both.
Such an invitation is contemplated by
the Senate committee to let General
| Bridges of the British commission
speak. If it becomes definitely known
here that Marshall Joffre wishes
American troops sent to the lines early,
there is likely to be a speeding up of
plans in this respect.
Waits Another Week.
While it is true as the generall stasf
insists that the trained forces of this
country are needed here to help train
the recruits, there is no doubt that
under proper management one or more
| divisions could be sent abroad the COM
| ing summer. The prospect continued
| to be today that conscription would
possibly have to be held back until
next week

The message will also add that the
