COPENHAGEN, March 16, via London,

THE speech of Chancellor Won Beth

made tremendous impression through
out Germany. Such an absolutely ex-
plosive answer to the diets undemo-
cratic attitude was entirely unexpect-
ed The speech, taken as a whole, has
the character of a great political dem
onstration. What made the greatest
impression was the firmness with which
he declared he would carry through
his new policy against every opposition,
together with the warmth with which
he defended the reichstag against the
criticism of the herrenhaus.
The liberal parties. the members OF
the central party and the independent
conservatives stood while the chan
cellor was speaking and interrupted
him repeatedly with prolonged ap-
plause. The house felt in every SEN
tence of the chancellors speech that
he was dealing with a subject he had
deeply at heart. and that he regarded
the moment of the delivery of his
speech as a decisive one in his career

that an article in the Frankfurter

gree the impression that the sudden
appearance of Chancellor Won Beth

Wednesday and his speech advocating
the characterization of Germany were
caused by his knowledge of events IN
Petrograd.
The Zeitung draws parallel between
the chancellors acts and the reVoiu-
ton in Petrograd, pointing out that at
the same time the executive committee
OF the duma seized the reins of power
DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg delivered
the speech which. it says. also disclosed
a revolution, although of quite differ
ent time and employing different
means.
The newspaper asserts a democratic
German empire will come because 1t
must come, not because the chancellor
avowS himself in its favor, but be-
cause his words express the VIII OF an
