HOLLWEG TRIUMPHS
OVER H|NDENBURC IN
ROW OVER REFORMS
Kaiser Sides With Chancellor
and Refuses to End Reich
stag Sitting and Block Re-
form Move as General Urged

LONDON. May 14.-ChanCelior Won
Bethman-Hollweg will probably make
announcement of the central powers
peace terms i'm speech to The reich
stag tomorrow. an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Amsterdam asserted to-
day. The German chancellor has just
returned to Berlin from a series of con-
ferences with officials i'm Vienna. Prior
TO this ne went 10 German great head
quarters for conference with the kaiser.
Other information from Germany. re-
ceived via Holland today. indicated that
the chancellor on Tuesday would make
q speech liz the reichstag. outlining the
general military and political situation.
but not covering Germany's peace aims.
Such statement will be withheld until
July. when the reichstag is to be re-
convened, according to German news
papers.
That section OF the German press
which is hostile to Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg declared today that the chancellor
recently went to the front to present his
resignation to the kaiser. The most
circumstantial of these stories insist
ed that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
raised storm of objection to the re-
form recommended by the constitution
committee which woulc grant the reich
stag control over the army and that
he and his junker friends conceived
the plan of multiplying the committees
recommendations by terminating the
reichstag sitting rather than recessing
that body until later in the summer or
fall Such procedure would mean auto
matte death of the constitution COM
mittee. necessity for reappointment and
repetition of its work--which would
avert another issue between the reich
stag and the army for several months.
Hollweg fatty refused to take such
a course insisting German liberals
could not be held i'm check if such a
trick were played upon them He was
said to have announced an ultimatum
to the kaiser that he would resign if
such scheme were attempted, and to
have won out over Hindenburg.
The very fact that he did succeed in
triumphing over Hindenburg was belev-
ed by Holland observers to have made
his position even more insecure, since
Hndenburg's advocates are now def
nitely aligned against him.
Hollweg returned from German head
quarters Saturday and left the same
evening for Vienna. On Sunday night
he started the return trip to Berlin.

BRITISH EXPECTING
GREAT FIGHT WITH
GERMAN NAVY SOON
Naval Officials Believe Kaiser
Is Planning to Send His
Fleet Out to Give Them
Battle

LONDON. May I4.-Whether GeTma-
NY may he making ready to pit her bat
tie fleet against England in the naval
engagement which all England and the
world have looked for since the start
of the war. is a question recent destroy
er raids brought forward today.
The belief is strong among naval au-
thorities that these frequent and APP
parently aimless destroyer raids on the
British coast may be 'feelers out" for
such a great sea battle. There have
been A dozen or more destroyer and
cruiser raids of late on the British
coast.
The way the British naval experts
look at it, Germany is certainly up 10
some game in rushing her light cruiser
squadron out of Kiel and engaging in
apparently futile attacks against de-
fenseless tOwns-maneuvers which have
invariably cost her more heavily than
the British.
The theory on which this hypothesis
of Germany's plan for a great sea bat
tie is based is evolved from the idea
that Germany may be trying TO draw the
British watchdogs i'm the North sea off
their guard and distract attention from
a major operation which they intend to
spring as a surprise. Also the raids
may De mercy testing out Oh the
watchfulness OF Britain's patrols, seek
ing a weak spot in the naval armor.
One other view of the constant har-
RAISING of British coast towns
is that il is new form of
Teuton propaganda, emphasizing fright
fulness by bombarding dcfenseless wom-
en- and children and thus keeping con-
stantly before England the fear of an
invasion from Germany.
Whatever their meaning. these ia ids
are welcomed by the British fleet.
which. powerless against submarines
and mines. has been chafng at its leash
since the Jutland fight
Frequent engagements OF the past
two months have satisfied England that
in a naval battle, ship against ship. she
is asily Germany'S superior
What the whole country is looking
forward to now is a major naval en-
gagement. with the first line ships %
the kaiser's long idle navy pitted against
the pride of the British empire.
In the coming battle. which naval au-
thorities feel certain will take place be-
fore Germany finally gives in, England
is completely confident that her fleet
will achieve tremendous victory.
