Says Hollweg Thought
War Would Be a DraU

London, July 1.-THE Reuter- corre-
spondent at Amsterdam, under date OF
July 1S. says that the Bavarian "Kur-
Ter" publishes what the "Rheinische
Wcstfalische Zeitung" calls "an almost
incredible and sensational revelation,
to the effect that Professor Harnack
on June 80 wrote in letter which he
sent to Munich an account of an in
terview he had had a few days pre-
viously with DR.. Won Bethmann-HoIl-
veg. the Imperial German Chancellor.
According TO this account, the Chan
cellor informed Professor Harnack
that his views closely approximated
those Of Philip Scheidemann and Dr.
Eduard David, Socialists, and DR.. Karl
Heine, Social-Democrat, but that he
could not yet free himself entirely
from the influences Of the Conserva-
tivcs. who must first be divided before
he obtained q free hand for action.
Dr. Won Bethmann- -Hollweg said that
the greatest darger was from Germans
who continued to believe in victory,
and added "In the best case, it can
onlv be a draw"

Reicsasx Situation Confused
The slsysaon in the Reichstag still
remains obscure, though there are lndi-
cations that il is no longer so lntiam-
mable as IL was. Nothing more mas
been heard Of the strike Of ReichStag
Deputies on the issue OF war credits.
Apparently, the Kaiser's order promul-
eating reforms in Prussia have eaSed
the strain, though In some quarters
there are criticised as inadequate.
When the Reichstag main commit
tee met yesterday, according TO an
Amsterdam dispatch. Socialist mem
Der proposed an adjournment on the
Ground that the political situation was
not sufficiently clear for the govern
ment 10 take a position on the ques-
tions that had been raised. DR.. Kari
HelTerich. Vice-C Chancellor, replied
that while the Chancellor was "un-
avoidably detained" he himself and
other state secretaries we're prepared
10 follow the debate and answer any
questions.
Demand Definite Answer
The Socialist Deputy was not salts

tion had been asked the Oh lcellor and
a definite answer was wanted. other-
wise the debate would be purposeless.

held.
Early this morning the correspondent
at Amsterdam sent telegram, without
any confirmation. that the Kaiser had
abdicated in favor of his second son,
Joachim. "The London Morning Post
was the only paper here to print the
rumor. There has been no conhrma-
tion of il. nor, indeed, any further
mention of the report, which is un-
doubtedly untrue.

Dr. Georg Michaelis, the new German
Chancellor. was the first Prussian Off
cial publicly to warn Germany Of the
peril of starvation. Four months ago
he declared in a speech that famine
might overtake Germany before the end
Of the present summer.
The new Chancellor is sixty years
old. Since 1875, when he was eighteen
years old, he has been in the service of
the imperial government. His career
is that Of the typical Prussian bureau
crat. IL lacks political individuality and
force of character. II the Kaiser and
the Crown Prince had aimed at the Sc
lection of a handy tool for their des-
perate political game they could not
have chosen a better suited figure than
Michaelis.
DR.. Michaelis began his climb in the
Ministry Of Justice. In 1888 he was sent
to Toxic to become lecturer on law and
political economy in the German lnsti-
tute. In 1889 he again joined the staff Of
the Department of Justice, rising gradu.
ally from one Office to another. In 1897
he became the chief director OF the
Department on Church and School At
fairs. In 1902 he was Governor of Bres-
lau. In 1905 he was decorated by the
Kaiser for his faithful service. In
1909 he was appointed under secretary
Of the Prussian Ministry OF Finance, in
which capacity he served up TO last
February.
At the beginning of the present year
DR.. Michaelis created sensation with
an article he contributed to the Co
logne "Volks-Zeitung." in which he
warned that peace would not solve i'm
medately Gcrmany's food difficulties.

Washington, July 14.-Belief in En-
tente circles is that the German gov
ernment has seized the opportunity Of
fered by the present crisis in its min
istry 10 impress the neutrals and the
peoples of the Entente nations with
the idea that the old Junkerism in
Germany is passing; that Germany Is
becoming really democratic, and that
the idea of the battling with autocracy
is therefore obsolete. This is in addi-
ton, of course, to the desire to placate
he German people themselves.
Austrian influence has been brought
10 bear upon Germany, it is declared,
for the Austrian Emperor sees the
necessity for an early peace TO enable
him 70 make his empire secure and 10
prevent its disintegration through in
ternal dissensions.
The agitation in Entente countries
and America against the Kaiser and
Prussianism have profoundly affected
the peoples Of the Central Empires, and
the Berlin and Vienna governments
are taking measures 70 create a belief
that the interests of the people and of
the government in the Central Empires
are being consolidated, presenting An
appearance of erection of democratic
governmental institutions.
The Entente view of the German po-
litical situation was outlined by an au-
thority to-day as follows:
Due 10 Failure Of U-Boats
"The electoral reform promised
Prussia is dictated b. a desire to d.
minish the distance which separates
the Central Empires from the Entente
nations and America. The causes un-
deriving this concession are several,
chiefly the failure Of the German sub
marine warfare and the new Russian
offensive.
THE different political parties in Ger
many have begun TO distrust the gov
crrment, but are still far from that
transformation which might make Ger
many appear 10 oe democratic coun-
,r, Even the Hohenzollerns have been
forced 20 start on a path from which
&, will be impossible for them TO turn
back.
Premier Lloyd George IS gratifed
that his admonition 20 Prussia and the
German people that II was necessary
for them 10 democratize Germany il
Trey wanted her 10 be accepted again
an ong the civilized nations has been
so soon followed The reform which
the Kaiser offers Prussia is only the
beginning. and with which all the
parties are not satisfied. Germany can
not become a democratic country until

important foodstuffs. Germany, in the
coming years of peace. will have re
course almost exclusively 20 such food
stufrs as are produced within her own
borders. Tonnage will be very scarce,
and the deterioration of the rate OF eX-
change also will oblige Germany TO i'm
port as little as possible.
"Thus. even after peace" concluded
the Under Secretary, "it will be neces-.
sary to keep the belt pulled tight, and
there must be further sharp ratloning.
The yearninC cry. Give us peace.
Give Us more bread! has no inner
basis. OF this we must remain con-
scious. and not cry for peace on ac-
count of the scarcity from which we
suffer"
Was Prussian Food Dictator
This statement evidently gave
Michaelis the post of Prussian Food
Dictator. whose function is 20 cooper
ate with the Imperial Food Dictator.
A short while after he took control Of
the office, early last March. DR..
Michaelis came out with a speech
which may have a great deal TO do with
his present appointment. He plainly
warned Germany that there was grave
danger Of famine before the new har-
vest is gathered in.
"We have in the third year Of the
war discovered" said the Food Dicta-
tor. that among all sections of the
people the general feeling evidenced
is not one of that endurance for which
we had hoped. This is human nature,
but it is highly deplorable, and may
have most serious results.

Of what would happen if this measure

find there was an insufFiciency, and we
could not hold out. The ensuing mis-
cry would be indescribable."
