THE WEATHER
Fierce winter winds were raging and a
heavy snow was falling. That Is the snow
.was heavy after It fell. This was easily
proved when one attacked it with a shovel.
It was a line, very frigid snow that crunched
loud when first stepped on. The trolleys
and autos were blocked In many streets.
In some places where It had drifted the
doorways and portions of tho loyver windows
were ojmost completely obscured.
But the snow was not unexpected. It
seemed to, be In keeping with the never,

creak and rattled the windows throughout

PRINCE VON BUELOW '
Leading fight to overthrow von
Bcthmann - Hollwcg, tho German
Chancellor.
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
BERLIN, July 12.
Tho overthrow of Chancellor von Beth-mann-IIollweg.
champion of a conciliatory
policy toward thp United States, and the
unloosing of German submarines within
thrco months, was predicted by von Tirpltz
supporters hero today, unless President
Wilson nets ugalnst tho British blockade.
Members of tho conscrvatlvo party and
those favoring annexation of tprrltory
conquered by Germany joined In tho fore
cast. They said the opinion of America
would bo disregarded.
1 A private fcourcc, cloao to. tho .Foreign
Office, mndo this statement tn the United
Press regarding the attempt to unseat
Bethmann-IIollweg at a time when the
war Is approaching a crisis:
Unless America does something
against England within the next three
months there will be a bitter fight
against the Chancellor. Ono cannot tell
whether ho will bo able to hold his
own against such opposition. The
futuro of German-American relations
depends on America,
tjesplto this political drlvo against the
man who stood out against a break with
the 'United States In tho Lusltnnla crisis,
Americans hero believe Bethmann-IIollwee
will ngain emerge triumphant. They feel
certain that If the chancellor appealed to
tho public for a decision he would be sup
ported. The fight to oust the Chancellor, tho be
ginning of which was cabled by your cor
respondent a few weeks ago, has now
grown to such proportions that It over
shadows In Interest the Allied offensive.
The attacks on the Chancellor have grad
ually grown bolder slnco the appearance of
Prince Buelow's book, "Deutsche" Polltlk,"
because this book is believed to bo the
opening of Buelow's campaign to oust the,
Chancellor and step back In the position
he occupied until succeeded by Bethmann
IIollweg In 1909.
The movement has grown moro force
ful since the German answer to President
Wilson's ultimatum was sent. The Con
servatives accepted the German note as
containing a conditional clause and they
have beer) waiting to see what steps the
United States would take against Kngland.
Within the past few days I have dis
cussed the situation with leaders of several
parties in tho Itelchstag. A national
liberal member of the Reichstag, who was
formerly a supporter of von Tlrpltz and
the von Tlrpltz submarine policies, said
that he hoped Buelow's success shows that
the opposition to America Is not dead.
HUGHES ANP WILSON.
"Who is going to be your next President
Wilson or Hughes?" lie Obked, and then,
without waiting for an answer, continued;
"If it Is Hughes he can bo no worse than
Wilson. The worst he can do Is to xleclara
war on Germany and certainly that would
be preferable to tho present American
neutrality.
"If this should happen every one In our
navy would shout and throw up hi hat, for
It would mean unlimited sea war against
Kngland. Our present navy Is held in a
net of notes. .
"What 'do you think the United Slates
could do? You could not raise an army
to help the Allies. You could confiscate our
ships In American ports, but If you tried
to use them to carry supplier and munitions
to the Allies we would sink them.
"Carrylns on an unlimited eubmaHna
war we could sink 600,000 tons of shipping
monthly, destroy tho ontlro merchant fleets
of the leading Powers, paralyze Kngland
and win th war Then we would start all
over, build merchantmen faster than any
nation and regain our position as a leading
oonunnreial power."
FIGHT FRANCHISE REFORMS,
l?rlnd of the Chancellor still hope that
PrsWM Wilson W01 take a strong stand
against England, thereby greatly strength
eijjta? Rethmann-Hollweg's position. At
preAnt the campaign against the Chan
cellor U oloMly connected with Internal
politics ot tbe conservatives and the bis;
land owners. The latter are fighting Beth-raann-Hollweg
because he. promised tht
