MSRJLIN, July 18. (Delayed), via

speech before the relcbstag on
Thursday to demand time for ret*
tlement of tho Issues of parllamen
tarlzatlon and peace.
leaders here do not look for Im
mediate changes in the parliamen
tary situation.
The difficulty Inherent In the re
strictions of the constitutional sys
tem will make these of slow devel
opment.
The new' chancellor, as a matter
of principle, wdll seek time for con
sideration of the matter.
July 19—Chancellor
Mlchaells will bid for a "German
peace" in his relchstag speech this
afternoon, according to reports re
ceived from Swiss sources today.
They declared the chancellor's
peace formula would conform strict
ly to the instructions of the German
general headquarters and be based
upon the military situation now' re
garded as favorable to Germany.
I/ONPON, July 19. The tensity
in the German internal situation
was increased, if anything, today
according to dispatches here/ by
anxiety as to what policy the new'
chancellor might indicate in his
reichstap speech this afternoon.
There was the direct hint in
some German dispatches that if T>r.
Mlchaells’ pronouncement was nn-,
satisfactory' or if he temporized. In
tho view of th* r« Ichstag coalition
majority, another crisis might ho
precipitated. In this situation tho
guesses as to what the new chan
cellor might have to say covered a
wide range of speculation.
The relchstag majority holds a
very effective weapon as ret tho
power to withhold approval of the
credit bill. If it refuses this bill
the government has only two
courses open under the constitu
tion. One Is to accede to flu* ma
jority’s demands and the other Is
to prorogue the session The lelrb
stag ran only be prorogued for 30
days unless ps consent is given. If
a longer period of dismissal Is
sought th« law requires disbanding
