VOLUME XIV, NO. 234. HOLLWEGEXPECTED * TOTHROWGAUNTLET 0 CRITICS AT THE REICHSTAG OPENING Interest Centers on Expected Fight; Leaders are Ready to Support Hollweg. CRITICS MAY UNITE TO PREVENT FRICTION Stormy Session of Reichstag is Evi- dent; Attacks are Ready to Be Launched. (By United Press) Berlin, Sept. 28.—The German Reichstag opened today with interest centered upon Chancellor von Beth- mann-Hollweg’s opening speech. Great crowds attended the session to hear the speech which is expected to throw down the gauntlet to the chancellor’s crities. May Get Support. Before the session today an anti- Hollweg leader said that if Hollweg assumed a strong stand against Eng- N land he would receive the support of \_ a majority of the members. He re- fused a more specific statement. Indications are that Hollweg’s crit- ics are willing to get together to pre- vent friction and misunderstanding in foreign countries. Dr. Coerting, an industrial leader from Hanover, will move a vote of no confidence in Chancellor von Beth- mann-Hollweg. Coerting represents one of the center party groups waging war on the chancellor. Socialist Arrested. The absence of Dr. Liebknecht, Rad- ical Socialist, arrested several weeks ago for taking part in a disturbance in Berlin, will certainly not contrib- ute to a calm session, though Lieb- ® knecht was probably the reichstag’s most disturbing member: Other opponents of the government are ready to launch attacks as soon as the bars are let down for debate. The chancellor will address the reichstag at 3 p. m. on subjects not yet revealed. The voting of war credits and Germany’s future policy toward England will be the chief topics of the three weeks’ session. The Conservatives are highly pleas- ed with the results of the latest Zep- pelin raid and will demand an even more severe English campaign. JURY IN HALEY CASE DISAGREES The jury in the case of Michael Haley, charged with trespass on state timber lands, disagreed and did not acquit Mr. Haley as reported in a heading in the Pioneer last evening.

T ATHENS SAYS GREEK ARMY IS READY FOR WAR Expected That King Constantine Will Make an Important Declara- tion Today.

By ROY HOWARD President United Press Assoclation (Copyright 1916 by United Press) (Copyrighted in Great Britain) London, Sept. 28.—There is no end of the European war in sight. Any step at this time for peace by the United States, Vatican or any other neutral in the direction of peace, will be construed by England as unneut- ral. It will be considered a pro-Ger- man move. Authority for Statements. The United Press is able to make these statements upon the authority of Right Honorable David Lloyd George, secretary of state for war. “The British have only begun to fight,” Lloyd George said. “We have already sacrificed thousands of our best lives to purchase immunity for civilization. This investment is too -great-ta.be thrown. away.’” - The war will be continued more than at any time since the beginning of the war, according to Lloyd George.
