Won BETHMANN HOLLWEG'S
HEAD MAY FALL IN BASKET
AS RESULT OF TROUBLES.
ALL KIND OF WOES
Socialist Friends Threaten TO Join
Radical Secessionists, Clamoring
With Enemies for Definite States
ments From Chancellor

Copenhagen. via London, April Is
The movement for the overthrow of
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg is
again becoming evident in Germany.
The agitation is encouraged by dissen
tions over civil reforms, possible peace
terms and food troubles.
The pan-German, conservative and
national liberal organs are today
sharply campaigning against the so
cialist peace program and take the
chancellor severely to task for not dis
socatlng himself and his administra-
tion from Scheldemann and his prop
aganda. The conservative Deutsche
Tages Zetung demands a strong hand
at the helm which alone 1t says can
save the country from the breakers to
which It is headed on the dangerous
Scheidemann course. The liberal or
gans declare that a strong and posi-
tive policy al home and abroad is
much needed.
Lost Prestige.
Other persons accuse the chancel-
lor OF losing the imperial prestige on
the emperor's Easter manifesto which
failed to satisfy any party Won Beth
mann.Hollweg strength lies in the fact
his enemies have no points of unity
in their general discomfort.
Reports from the Berlin socialist
conference indicate that there is trou-
BILE. too, in the ranks of the socialist
majority and that Scheldemann is hav-
ing difficulty in keeping them in line.
A decided drift toward the policies
of the secessionists OF the radical wing
was noticeable and Schedemann and
other speakers intimated that unless
the government speedily and unequiv-
Ocally pronounced itself on peace
terms and made satisfactory begin.
ming toward the reform of the Prus-
sian franchise without waiting for the
end of the war, a break in the ranks
in the direction of radicalism was
highly probable
Pan-German Joke.
The pan.German annexationists
have turned a trick against the social
lists by exploiting an apochryphal
peace program which they claim the
German socialists will put forward at
the Stockholm conference. This pro-
gram, which specifies in detail the
disposition Of all occupied territories
is Indignantly repudiated by the Vor-
waerts. The socialist organ says that
no program exists beyond a general
declaration against annexations and
indemnities.
The administration is evidently hav-
ing no happy time In facing the utter.
ly conflicting demands OF its socialist
friends and iunker enemies, both clam
! oring for a definite statement as TO
war aims and internal reforms. The
; evident shakiness OF Austria.Hungary
Is another source of concern and the
; encouraging assurances Of confidence
: and support which the chancellor has
been accustomed to receive in such
J. times Of trouble from press and parlia
ment are this time lacking.

We're advanced this week and other
advances are certain to come from

not improbable that one-half the

this slack in drilling operations VIII

must have more oil, the allies must
have more and the home consumption
among private citizens will not be
curlailed except by legislation, which
is improbable This means q greater
demand for oil, fewer wells drilling
and there can be only one result and
that is found in better prices. Better
