dispatches early in the week that the
crown prince had been summoned to
Berlin because the reformists in
sisted that he as heir to the throne
subscribe to reform pledges so that
their fulfillment would be made GER

on the possibility that the Grown

Rumor Scoffed at.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Informa-
ton available at the state depart
ment today gave conflicting views on
Germany's internal disturbance.
Dutch newspaper comments for
warded to this government, differs
as to the likelihood OF Chancellor
Hollweg resigning. The Alteemeen
HANDICAPPED says reports of his res
ignation are false. The Vaderland
thinks Hollweg's resignation quite
possible" The TELEGRAPH says the
chancellor's position is Still precar-
ious."
All the Dutch papers agree that an
early decision in the crisis may be
expected.
No credence whatever is given
rumors OF abdication by the kaiser.
The state department issued the
following summary:
THE Altesmeen HANDICAPPED says
that the granting of full electoral re-
form in Prussia means accession to
one of the three demands of parties
of the left. There remain demands
for parliam entary reform and a dec
laration in favor of peace without
annexation or indemnities
"Vaderland states that Prussian
electoral reforms are exceedingly i'm.
portant and change the whole polit-
ical constitution Of the kingdom and
will have far reaching consequences
THE TELEGRAPH thinks that it is
possible that concession Of reform IN
Prussia is mere sop which will
satisfy some parties and leave the
socialists alone with their peace de-
mands.
The Nfeuwe Rotterdamsche Cour-
ant wrote that Prussian reform is
small concession for the future, but
by no means settles the crisis.
The Nieuwe Courant says electo.-

Newspaper Suppressed.
AMSTERDAM. July 1.-THE Ber-
lin Lokal AnZeiger was suppressed
by the German government today,
presumably because Of the frankness
Of its discussion OF the peace and
parliamentary situation In recent is-
yues.
1.-THE Lokal Anzetger has hereto
fore been classified as an independ.
emit; but semi-government organ,
many of its leading articles being re-
Earded as inspired. Quotations which
have been permitted to pass by the
German censors have not indicated
nearly as frank a policy Of discus
sion and criticism Of the German par
liamentary situation by the Lokal
Anzeiger as the assaults which sew
eral other German publications have
made.l
Council OF State.
AMSTERDAM, Juy 1.-THE Ber-
lin Tageblatt today suggests the gov
eminent intends to create a parlia-
mentary council Of state, consisting
OF fifteen members Of the reichstag
They are to represent parliament
IN all discussions as to governmental
policies and to aid in decisions on
item, eventually replacing the fed
eral council. The newspaper adds
that this replacement in the scheme
would probably be postponed until
the end of the war.
The Vorwaerts, socialist organ
ridicules the proposal as fit to in
spire the comic newspapers"
Resignation Accepted.
COPENHAGEN, July 14.-Chancel-
Tor Hollweg's resignation has been
accepted, according to the Berlin
newspaper Taglische Rundschau.
The Taglische Rundschau is a ma
tional liberal organ. which has here
tofore been exceedingly accurate in it's

Austrian Interference.
AMSTERDAM, July 14.-In a bit
ter attack on Austrian interference
in Germany's internal political fight,
the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger charged
that an unnamed Viennese statesman
telegraphed the German government
that Chancellor Hollweg's removal
would be dangerous.
The Viennese mentioned is sup
posed to be Count Czernin, minister
of foreign affairs.
The attack is probably the reason
why the Lokal Anzeiger was ordered
suppressed today.

One evening this week one OF
the colored picture houses threw
on it's screen pictures of the
floating hospital for the children
of New York City. Among the
labels was one reading, so, 900
children cared for last year, re-
gardless of creed or color. In
the language of Marc Anthony,
'If you have tears to shed, pre-
pare to shed them now." There
are many persons so constructed
that if-was hurled against them
they would stand it without with
out blinking an eye, so to speak.
Then when they note a little
touch of nature which makes all
the world akin they melt down,
becoming as little children
mans humanity to man. Doubt
less there were more than one in
that audience who felt all wealth
er beaten as part of the race
that knows trials and tribulations
who breathed full and free on
reading that label, Regardless
of creed and color" feeling for
once the delightful intoxication
of whole citizenship.
Tim Owsley, our blossomlng
poet, speakes of joy tears. Such
as we have called attention to
are some of the occasions. We
imagine Eva Tanguay sheds
them when she notes the loyalty
of her audiences to her in spite
of what's said, else why those
'fervent "God bless you's?" We
also feel to say, that, as you do
unto those little ones you also do
unto me. We think the, whole
race thinks so-any race that
walks not in the fullness OF civic
liberty. The Freeman.

stated in answer to questions put
to him by the officers that the
suitcase belonged to the white

disclosed that It contained twelve
quarts of whiskey, but when the
three policemen turned in the di-

the intention of arresting him he
hoped aboard passing trolley
car and was soon out of sight.
