The imperial chancellor, DR.. Mich

as it was for his predecessor, Won

face the critics of the government in

charged, the bureaucracy and the

out in the Reichstag debate.
HELFFERICH EFFORTS FAIL.
DR.. Michaelis on Saturday sent
Minister, of the Interior Helfferieh
before the Reichstag to make state
ment on his hebalf. Helfferich failed
TO nollify the critical members of the
Reichstag and the sitting was adj
journed to today after the vice chan
cellor's speech had been interrupted.
General Won Stein, war minister, was
jeered when he attempted to explain
the army's side of the accusation that
the high command was using very
strong methods to help the pan-Gef-
man agitation.
Former Chancellor Won Bethman-
Hollweg, some months before his
resignation, had fest of strength
with Admiral Won Tirpitz, the re-
puted organizer of ruthless submarine
warfare, and the chancellor won. The
admiral since has been busy and the
new fatherland party, of which he is
one of the sponsors, according to re-
cent reports, has been very active in
opposing the Reichstag majority

tins or indemnities.

Recent reports have shown that the
feeling between the pan-Germans and
the Reichstag majority has been, be-i
coming more intense. some socialist
members of the Reichstag having
gone so far as to charge that the
