What the German lead- ers want, if they are successful, will ‘be discussed in the reichstag this week, probably today. Finding Way Difficult. The imperial chancellor, Dr. Mich- aelis, is finding the way as difficult as it was for his predecessor, Von Bethman Holwegg and he must now face the critics of his government in the reichstag. Whether, as has been charged, the bureaucracy and the army have been furthering the Pan-German scheme of annexation and indemnities is expect- ed to be brought out in the debate. Dr. Michaelis sent Minister of the Interior Helfferich. before the réich- stag Saturday to make a statement on his behalf. Helfferich failed to molli- fy the critical members. of the reich- stag and the sifting was adjourned. to today .after the vice chancellor's speech had been interrupted. Gener- al von Stein, the war minister, was jeered when he attempted! to ‘explain the army’s side of the accusation that the high command was-using ‘strong methods to help the Pan-German agi- tation. ae yas z War Party Busy.

Into Two Camps. It has now come to a test betweén the followers of Von Tirpitz and the pan-Germans on one side, and the ma- jority of the reichstag on the other. Recent reports have shown that the ‘feeling between the pan-Germans and the reichstag majority has ‘become more intense, some socialist mem- bers of the reichstag having gone su far as to charge that the agitation of the pan-Germans is dividing the Ger- man people into two camps, and the question of the aims of the war. Approaching cold weather on the western front is forecast in the ap- pearance of snow in the Vosges. In ‘Flanders the weather has been most unfavorable, the last two days, Dut , Official reports mention no let up in the violent artillery duels. The Brit- ish are probably using the new posi- tions won last week as a base from which to harrass the Germans in the lowlands, preparatory for a new stroke in this plan to outflank the German positions in tho north. Unofficial reports from Stockholm ong German naval forces have n sighted in the Baltic Sea off the Danish and Swedish coast, bound probably for the Gulf of Finland, for a drive on Helsingfors, Finland, and Petrograd. The Germans aré said to be concentrating a large force, includ- ing mine sweepers, seaplanes, and | transports, and plan to attack Helsing: fers by land and sea. Today's Lritish statement indicates up in the Flanders battle. One definite report announced the launch- ing,.of a counter attack by the Ger- mans east of Polygon Wood. More favorable developments in the Russian political situation are report: ted. Complete agreement has been reached on all questions, by the rep- resentatives of the government, the democratic congress, and the Bour- geois, it is announced, and the im- mediate formations of a coalition cad- inet is planned.
