NEW YORK. April 25.-The as
sembIing Of the Reichstag this week
Increased the urgency for a quick
German victory on the west front.
and it's object Is principally to fore
stall the criticism of members OF the
Reichstag that Hindenburg is trying
to drive his seIni-exhausted troops to
further advance The firm stand by
the allies this time and the conse-
quent abandonment by Hindenburg of
a new offensive will undoubtedly
have a profound effect on the Reich
stag. There is no question but that
a critical attitude toward stupendous
west front slaughter of the Germans
has arisen in the Reichstag. Terri
torial gains are considered wholly in
adequate for the slaughter Of the
Germans.
The Reichstag has just heard from
Minister of the Marine Won Capelle
very unconvincing statement about
submarine successes. The Reichstag.
too. is beginning to realize that the
governments contemptuous disbelief
in Americas S ability to send a great
army to France is being shown TO be
the greatest blunder of the war.

Educational campaigns have been
an important means Of stimulating
interest in the war loans, but coer-
cion in one form or other has also
been used with chara cteristic Prus-
sian high -handedness. This has been
especially true in the case Of sol
diers. IF they did not buy bonds
leave of absence was denied. dis
agreeable duties were forced upon
them and they were never in line
for promotion.
German leaders have offered
many solutions of the post 5ellum
problem which confronts their coun-
try Future generations have been
saddled with a debt which they can
scarcely hope to clear off even by
drastic means until the vitality OF
the country has been Slapped. Gov
eminent control Of tobacco and
other Injuries may be expected.
In short. if there is a German
government after the war il is prob
able the state will dominate all in
dustry and the profits, thus earned
by the state. will be used to wipe
off the debt which Germany has
placed upon her people.
