"All Indications point to the fact that
the accurscd deed was instigated by the
Entente Allies in order to involve us
in fresh war with the present Russian
governmental state of things which
we are most anxious to avoid. We do
not want fresh war with Russia. The
present Russian government desires
peace and needs peace, and we are Civ
ing her our support in this peaceful
disposition and aim.
"On the other hand, it is true that
political currents of very varied ten
denotes are circulating in the Russian
diverse aims, including the monarchist
movement of the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis and the movements of the Social
Revolutionaries. We will not commit
ourselves to any political counter-cur-
rent, but are giving careful attention
to the course Russia is steering"
Situation in West
In connection with this point the I'm
perial Chancellor passed to review
of the political situation in the. West.
He then spoke of the reasons which led
to the resignation of DR.. Won Kuehl
mann and concluded:
"The name of the man who is pro-
posed as DR.. Won Kuehlmann's sue
cessor is known to you. Admiral Won
Hintze possesses a thorough knowledge
of Russian affairs, which is a matter
of great Importance in the present sit
uation. But it goes without saying

| will direct the line of foreign policy
and the Secretary Of State for Foreign
Affairs has merely to carry out my
policy. The proposed Secretary Of
State for Foreign Affairs is absolutely
clear on this point.
THE course with which the great
majority of the Reichstag declared
itself to be in agreement in November
OF last year will be followed"
apparently a new agreement has
been reached between the German gov
ernment and the majority parties in
tne u Relchstag, says a dispatch from
Berlin to the Amsterdam "Handels-
blad"
Friedrich Won Payer, the Imperial
Vice Chancellor, announced, in con-
nection with the recent speech made
by Philip Scheidemann, the Socialist
leader, the dispatch adds, that he would
resign If the Socialists joined the op-
position.
Through the intervention of the Cen
ire party the Social Democrats decided
to remain with the majority, where
upon the Vice Chancellor abandoned
his intention to quit his post.

that the opposition will not employ it's

Plan Proposed for Economic

WASHINGTON, July IA plan for
action in Russia contemplating propa-
ganda and trade extension work by
Russians who have resided in this
country was presented to-day to Chair
man Hitchcock of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee by a committee
from the Russian-American Economic
League, said to represent 100000 Rus
slams in the United States.
The committee. Siniwalts Romanoff,
Nikfor Kasachs and Y. Demianenko,
of New York, opposed military inter
vention in Russia at this time.
Senator Hitchcock promised TO aid
the Russian committee in arranging a
conference with President Wilson for
submission of their plans. They pro-
posed that many Russians in this coun-
try be sent through Russia for quiet
but persistent propaganda, and also
by fostering Russian American trade
relations create sentiment for the
United States and the Allies.

Cholera Ravages
Starving Petrograd

LONDON, July flowing to
the grave shortage in food,
cholera is on the increase in Pet
rograd and hundreds Of persons
are daily falling victims to it,
says Russian wireless dispatch
received to-day.
M. Zinovieff, head Of the Petro-
grad committee representing the
Russian Council of Commissions
ers, in an appeal to the councils
in the grain provinces Of Russia
and to the railway officials said:
Every day many hundreds Of
persons are falling victims to dis
ease. 1t is impossible to do any,
thing to combat the epidemic, as
we are unable to furnish even
quarter of pound Of bread a day
and are forced to give herrings
instead Of bread.
1T will be very difficult to carry
on until the next harvest. Help
us to do SO by sending grain and
everything you can. All kinds of
food are Of the greatest impor-
tance.
"We beg the railway officials to
do everything in their power with
a view to speeding the dispatch Of
food to Petrograd. 1t is the duty
of the councils in the grain prov
inces to feed Petrograd.

so far as to invite the majority in the
Reichstag to refuse the vote for the
war credits If satisfaction be not
given.
at will be recalled thnt the Rechs-
tag, at the news Of the resignation Of
Won Kuehlmann, sent its bill on the
credits to the main committee for dis
cusson. The Reichstag has. therefore,
weapon at its disposal. The Frank
furter Zeitung' expects it to make use
of it; but as this weapon can deliver
only most redoubtable blows it is
probable that the Reichstag will con-
tent itself by merely brandishing it,
and that finally it will refrain from
making use of it.
Military Likely to Control
"All the abjurgations of the press
doubtless will not prevent Won Hintze's
appointment being officially confirmed.
The Chancellor will make to the
Reichstag, or perhaps to the principal
committee alone, some reassuring
statements, and the Reichstag. after
having heard certain Of it's members
speak, will vote for the war credits
and will be sent away for the summer
vacation.
"Von Kuehlmann's departure prob
ably will not bring about q govern
mental crisis, which certain papers of
the Left are announcing. Count Hert-
ling appears to have wished to continue
the peace man9uvres. Besides, per-
haps it is only question of giving in
this way an answer to the German pub
lie and of calming it's fears, from an
internal point of view. He tried to
convince the Reichstag that his policy
had not changed, and with this end in
view he affirmed that Won Hintze's ap-
pointment was not yet official The aim
Of all these declarations is to obtain
favorable vote from the Reichstag, and

commenting on the Brest-Litovsk situa-
ton and the activities Of Won Kuehl-
man and the government says:
Germany now reveals her eastern
peace aims. Everybody In Germany,
Russia and entente countries now
knows that she is not aiming at just
peace without annexations and indem-
mites, such as Won Kuehlmann depict
ed, but at a peace providing for an
enormous increase in Germanys mill
tary, political and economic strength.
These intentions must strengthen
the war will Of the entente. GERMANY
intends really to annev all territories
it now holds. Her excuse that the
populations of these territories have
declared their willingness to be ses-
cred from Russia is untrue. IndiyiG-
uals may have done SO, but they al
ways have been irresponsible, ACTING
