sion has broken out between DIR. Won
-Hollweg. the German
chancellor, and Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg. the German chief Of
staff. over the political reform
movement, in Germany according
to information received here today
from Berlin.
An unconfirmed report was cur
rent in the German capital that the
chancellor had resigned, but it was
apparently without foundation
The Berliner Tageblatt, in COM
menting upon the report. said that
the chancellor's resignation was re-
jected if it was rendered.
Resents Restraint.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
was said TO be incensed over the
attempt of the constitution commit
tee of the reichstag TO put par
liamentary restraints upon the con-
troll Of the German army and navy.
Hindenburg is supposed also to
have protested against the growing
political intimacy between DR.. Won
-Hollweg and a certain
section of the socialist party. The
political foes of the German chan
celllor are still active against him,
but are apparently able to make
but small Roadway. There is every
indication that the kaiser's faith in
the chancellor has not been shaken.
Peace Speech Hinted Again.
AS a result of the trip of DR.. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg to Vienna, where
ne conferred with Emperor Charles.
It was again reported today that a
peace speech may be made in the
reichstag.
In some quarters the belief was
expressed that the chancellor would
renew Germany's peace offer to-
morrow, giving the war aims OF the
central powers in some detail, but
this was entirely problematical.
