INFAMOUS WAR POLICY
Of GERMANY ASSA|[ED
Socialist Reichstag Member Says
s'We Are Sold Body and Soul
to Military Caste.D
BY the Associated Prem.

BY the Associated PresA
LONDON. March 4.-The German gov
ernment's Infamous war policy was
assailed in the reichstag in the course
of Fridays debate by Herr Vogtherr,
an independent socialist, according TO
Berlin advices sent from Amsterdam
by the Reuter- correspondent there.
The German ultimatum Is not cal
culated to create conditions of peace
and friendship with Russia" Herr
yogtherr declared. "In the case of
the Ukraine peace Germany and AUS
tria already are quarreling over the
booty. The var we now are waging
in deferseless Russia serves only the
propertied classes of the disputed ter
ritory. In Lithuania we have made no
moral conquests- The Lithuanians long
to be back in Russia.
1--WE are not allowed to know the
truth The fatherland party is pursu-
ing a bloodthirsty propaganda against
foreign countries. We are sold body
and sosl to the military caste. We
are pursuing an Infamous war policy"
Speaker Called to Order.
At this point the vice president called
the speaker to order, but he insisted
on continuing his speech.
High wages in the munitions in
dustry," Herr Togtherr declared. "are
corrupt wages for the purpose of keep
ing workmen in good temper in the
interests of carrying on the war. The
imperial chancellor has food sent to
him from Bavaria, thereby infringing
the law"
After another interruption, the deputy
accused an admiral and a commando mt
at Swinemunde of appropriating con-
fiscated foodstuffs. adding:
I'VE must abolish the whole of this
MichaeIis-Capelle management. The
Dittmann case (Dittmann was a. radical
socialist member of the reichstag, ac-
cused in connection with the German
naval mutiny) ought to give the reichs--
tag cause for reflection. A general
who runs wild can, by arresting obnox-
ious representatives, OF the people, deci-
mate the reichstag.'
