NEW CHANCELLOR
FOR GERMANY IS

peace terms. A study and comparison
of the various reports from Berlin
and the more or less mysterious ref
erences to the confidential debate, in
the Reichstag committee however
give the impression that the gravity
of the situation is overplayed by cer
tain radical papers. The outstanding
facts ascertainable are these:
Sensational Speech.
Mathias Erzbeifcer, a prominent
representative of the clerical center,
made a Sensational speech in the se
cret session of the committee, attack
ing the admiralty and Pan-Germans
as the great obstacles to peace and
advocating peace without annexations
or indemnities and the introduction of
parliamentarism. Herr Erzberger,
did not speak in behalf of his party,
which would have meant that the im
perial chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann
Hollweg faced a hostile majority in
the parliament. Dr. Peter Spahn,
President of the clerical party, de
clared the party had taken no de
cision on the subjects raised in Herr
Erzberger's speech.
Chancellor Refused Statement.
Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg
the following day could therefore ven
ture a flat refusal to commit himself
to the program of peace without an
nexations or indemnities, and to am
biguous declarations on the internal
reform policy. The air was still full
of electricity when the committee ad
journed Saturday night, but the ten
tion was far lower than at the open
ing of the session, and the clerical
Germanla, the organ of the moderate
middle section of the Catholic party,
was able to say that the edge had been
taken from the crisis.
Today, alone will show whether the
radical and socialist forces, assisted by
Herr Erzberger, are able to reinforce
their attacks sufficiently to score any
material success, or whether the crisis,
will lose its momentum and die 'out
without results.
The Tageblatt and papers of that
stamp which have magnified the crisis
intp virtually a revolution seem to
have assumed that Herr Erzberger

would carry his entire party, the larg
est in the Reichstag, with him.
Papers Smuggled.
The moBt interesting feature of the
whole crisis—what Erzberger had to
say about the admiralty and the sub
marine campaign—cannot be dis
cussed with any clarity. Berlin pap
era have evidently been prevented
from saying a word about the speech
and the replies of Vice Admiral von
Capelle, minister of the,navy and Dr.
Helfrlch, secretary of the interior.
May Be Historical Upheaval.
Berlin, Sunday, July 8.—Unless all
present Indications fail in the course
of the next few days, the German em
pire is on the eve of a momentous if
not historical parliamentary upheav
al. Developments in the last forty
eight hours point squarely to a sig
nificant realignment of various fac
tions of the Reichstag in favor of
sweeping electoral and parliamentary
reforms, in spite of the present stub
born resistance of the reactionary old
guard.
Although the sessions of the main
committee and tho constitutional com
mittee have been strictly of an execu
tive nature, this morning's press com
ment permit the inference that the
discussions of vital subjects of govern
mental policy frequently reached the
boiling point. That they have been of
gravely significant import is indicated
clearly by the sudden decision to post
pone the Saturday plenary session
which was to have marked the open
ing of the general debate and the ex
pected speech of Chancellor von Beth
mann Hollweg. The absence of the
chancellor from the sessions of the
main and constitutional committees in
the last few days has caused general
comment as exceptional in view of
the confidential character of the dis
cussions. Late yesterday it was an
nounced that the clesire of the chan
cellor to inform himself more thor
oughly on the nature of the committee
conferences was responsible for the
delay of the sessions.
Memorable Session,
Monday will mark the inauguration
of what promises to be one of the
most memorable parliamentary ses'
slons in the history of the empire.
The chancellor was present yesterday
when the commltfee convened at 9
o'clock. All the Reichstag factions
remained in session in' individual
groups until late Saturday night to de
cide what action might be taken.

goods, (c) name and address of con
signee, (d) name and address of con
signor.
"Third, the license will be good for
only sixty days and at the expiration
of that time must be renewed, and if
not shipped within that time a new
application must be made.
Fourth, the various branch offices
of.the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce have been given full in
structlons as to the disposition of all
applications for licenses."

the headquarters throughout the day,
and all young men interested in mil
itary work, will be given any infor
mation they desire. FJve privates will
canvas the city in an effort to round
up prospective soldiers.
It is believed that the number of
men wanted will be readily* obtained,
as only a short time remains before
drafting becomes effective, when
many local men will be compelled to
enlist. Those enlisting in the Grand
Forks contingents will serve the col
ors with their own friends, making
military life more attractive than it
would 'be with strangers in any com
pany that the military authorities de
sired the recruit to enter.
It is pointed out that the young
men who are drafted, probably will
becompelled to enter any branch of
the service where men are needed,
and that those desiring to be with
their friends, should take advantage
of the opportunity to become a mem
ber of the home companies before the
campaign ends.
