nation has reached London on the
progress Of the political struggle in
Berlin, but 1t Is confirmed that Chan
cellor yon Hertling's speech before the
main committee of the reichstag has
been postponed for few days. Ac-
Gording to 4 Reuters Limited dispatch
from Amsterdam the crisis continues
to rage around the fixing of Germany's

satisfactory compromise will be
reached and that it will avert any po-
l!tieal or military changes.
Won kushiman Criticized.
Pan-Gernan newspapers continue to
attack foreign secretary Won kuehlman n
violently. The Rhenische Westfalische
Zeitung remarks ironically Won
Kuehlman would win the prize for
showing how brilliant military po-
sition may be utterly ruined. The
question is whether the struggle at
Brest -Litovsk will be victory for
Germany or for the clever advocate,
Trotzky. who fully reveals his intel

tives Of the central powers. General
Won Hoffman alone saved the situa-
