In Discussion of Belgian Problem, Leader of Pro- gressive Party Declares Its Annexation Must Be Regarded As An Accom- plished Fact.
Existence of Country As a Sovereign State Not In Consonance With Policies of Imperial German Gov ernment, Declares Influ- ential Member.

Amsterdam, May "A Berlin dispatch says that during a dis cussion of the Belgian question in the reichstag main commit tee the spokesman of the pro- gressive party declared that the annexation of Belgium must be regarded as an accomplished fact and discussion concerning it was undesirable.
 He declared that the existence of Belgium as a semi-sovereign state would mean a lasting war menace and that complete restoration off re-war conditions would involve serious dan ger.
 A centrist speaker said the leaders of the Flemish people consider that it would be dangerous for Belgium to come under the old dynasty. A con- servative deputy considered that the whole question was whether the coast of Flanders was to come under Ger man or English influence.

James G. 4Ludlum, who for two terms has been the active head of the Manufacturers association, has re- signed. At a meeting of the associa- ton yesterday, Clarence B. Bilton was elected his successor, to fill the vacant term which began last month.
 Great surprise was expressed in business circles here today over the resignation of MT.

 In the labor disturbances of 181A he actively combatted the strike and fearlessly appeared in the midst o1 his employers when organizers were addressed them.
 His name again appeared in the news in 1916 when be became owne1 in the Parsons Foundry Co, which was removed from Barnun avenue and Ha1lett street where it had beer established for nearly half a century to the new site in North Washington avenue.

UNREST SPREADS AMONG TEUTONS;;
 RIOTS REPORTED

Amsterdam May "A Berlin dis patch says that the conservatives in the reichstag have offered the follow- ing interpolation to Chancellor Von Bethmann- -Hollweg:
 ssThe socialist party demanding peace without annexation or indem- nity, has created uneasiness among the German people owing to the lack of clear spronouncement by the chancellor on the subject. While such a peace suits international principles it does not suit the needs of the life of the German people. Is the chan- ceIlor prepared to declare his attitude on this question ?"
 The socialist party also introduced an interpolation requesting the gov- ernment to state it's policy toward the peace program of the party. The oth- CT parties declined to support either of these interpellations.

 On the southern bank of the Scarpe the British pushed forward, overcom- ing the resistance of machine gun posts which abound all along this ground. They have established them selves in the sunken road near Pelves mill, which has a dip of nine feet and fense. At Rouaix, which is directly opposite this new position, the Ger mans stil remain in the fercely con- tested chemical works, but the British have Q. series of posts astride the ground east of this place
 East of Bullecourt the British are in strength right across the Hindenburg line, a sector of which they hold run ming in the direction of Queanf. Thence their line forms a sort of dis jointed salient around all but the northern entrances to Bullecourt, which is reported to be full of Germans The enemy thus is in an enclave which seems to be-dangerous to his possibil. ities of retirement.
