GERMAN LEADERS,

No Trace Found of Pair Who
Shot Erzberger, Head
OF Catholic Party.

BERLIN. Aug 26-Dr Matthias
Erzberger, powerful leader of the
Center or Catholic party of Ger
many. the man selected to sign the
armistice for Germany in 1915. was
shot and killed this afternoon while
walking with a friend, a Reichstag
deputy named Deitz. near Badish
Griesbach. a summer resort. in
Schwartzenwald.
Twelve shots were fired by two
assassins. two of which struck Err
berger. killing him instantly. Dietz
was wounded. The attack apparent
" was inspired by political or
strong personal feelings. Tho
was no attempt at robbery. There
is no trace of the assassins.
This was not the first time that
Erzberger had been attacked. He
had made many political enemies
during the changing course of his
career. The greatest feeling against
him was aroused when he intro
duced his famous peace resolution
in the Reichstag in 1917. causing a
division of the Reichstag and con-
tributinG to the overthrow of Chan
cellor Won Bethmann HollweG.
From the outbreak of the war
until a measurable period before he
introduced his resolution, Erzber-
ger professed Pan-Germanism. but
he lived to hear himself accused of
favoring ''perfidious Albion" and of
contributing to Germany's defeat.
Erzberger formally held the posi-
ton of minister of finance in the
republic.
