HIWENBURG
|. USED TO BEAT
BETHMANN
Pam Germans Vigorously at
Work Trying to Under
mine Chancellor.

Copenhagen. May 80, (via London.)
The pan-Germans have settled down
to a steady offensive against Chancel-
lor o Bethmann-Hollweg The plan
Of campaign, as disclosed by the Ger
man papers. includes q day by day
appeal to Field Marshal Won linden
burg. through kilograms of greeting
from local meetings Of the Pan-Ger-
man league, to induce him to come
out openly for the pan-German
scheme Of annexations and against
the Bethmann peace program. The
c~hancellor's opponents are confident
that II they car array Won linden
burg against Won Bethmann the fate
Of the premier IL sealed.
The published replies Of the field
marshal to some greetings indicate
that he shares the views of the pam
Germans to some extent. The tele-
grams. however, have been worded so
skillfully that they permit o Hin
without committing himself on the
questions at issue.
Against the Socialist. =
A second part of the campaign,
which is an appeal to the country
against the socialists on the strength
of Scheidemann's threat of revolution
seems to have been thrown into con-
fusion by the disclosures Of the vor.
warts. and the Takeblatt that the pan.
German leaders made the same threat
in an exactly opposite discussion.
A third and all-important side OF
the campaign is the agitation against
constitutional reform. This has de-
veloped mainly in conservative gath.
erings. where it evokes a sympathetic
response, and the outcry against the
chancellor is voiced without the
slightest reserve. Violent abuse II
hurled al the chancellor in speeche,
by the conservative deputy, von
Graefe, and the ''uncrowned king o.
Prussia" Won F~Ieydebrand, who de,
mand his retirement. :.

If you want to know about the

men, that never earn a dollar, but
cost the Pennsylvania railroad mil

THE WESTERN FRONT

ATEWS that the Germans are
IN about to try again for a decis-
ion on the western front
snould be encouraging to friends of
the allied cause. After the awfuI
failure at Verdun another German
smash at the allies in France can
be prompted by nothing but sheer
desperation. The Germans have
made no serious attempts against
this line since the French foiIed
their swing at Paris by the southern
route. The offensive has lain alto
gether with the allies, and both Eng
lish and French slowing but surely
have been pushing the invaders hack
toward the Rhine. A success. even
OF a moderate nature, on the west
front no doubt would be followed by
fresh peace proposals on the part
OF Berlin. But that is scarcely to be
considered. The allies, with their
tremendous reserves and gigantic
transportation systems, will be able.
chances are, to stave off any as
sault no matter how great. and then
Germany will have to face the fact
that there is no hope for her along
the French front, which would null
lily at home all the popular senti-
