The nrltlsh start sent mem to tnc uattie front by battalion, then by brigade In only ehe or two Instances were masses allowed to moe and then the result was very poor and the losses tiemendous.

I regard the $2,000,000 to be disbursed by the commission of which I, as Governor, am chairman, as a sacred truBt. "I believe that not a single penny of the money should bo expended unless It Is found absolutely necessary to do so. Just now I can sec no emergency for using any of It. I would rather that the money be neld In reserve until such time as an emergency does arise. I bellevo In holding It until tho use of any part of It becomes necessary. "It Is for the members of tho commission to decide how and when the money Is to be xpended and whether any part of It should be placed at the disposal of the Public Safety Committee. The members ot the commltteo are but agents of the commls lon, which consists of State officials, sworn to do their duty by the people of Pennsyl vania. The members of tho committee are as representative a body of men as can be found anywhere and they liave nobly and unselfishly assumed patriotic but difficult tasks at a great personal sacrifice of their time and Interests. There Is no truth what ever that any friction has arisen 'between these men and any members of the commis sion, so far as I know. SNYDKIt AND OTHERS AFFABLE "The story that has been circulated that there has been friction among the members of the commission, or that thcro Is likely to be between any of them and any mem bers of the Public Safety Committee, is un true and unwarranted, I am sure. . "There could not have been n more har monious meeting than we held yesterday. Why.

In fact, so keen was the disappointment of the radical Socialists that a demonstra tion was planned for tonight to protest against the speech That the Government was anxious over the situation was shown by the extra military precautions that were taken. The Chancellor's speech was extremely vigorous, and It was evident that he, as well as the Kaiser and the high command ot the German armies, looks at the military situation on all fronts In a favorable light. As the Chancellor spoke he wore the unlfoim of a staff officer, nnd his face rhowed a deep red tan, ns though ho had been spending much time In the open. His voice was harsh with suppressed emotion as he repeatedly shook a warning finger at the two groups that had been attacking him the radical Socialists and the radical Conservatives. It Is, felt that all talk of peace and wnr in the Reichstag has been quieted for a long lime, perhaps until the autumn. At the same time It Is believed that the politi cal position of the Chancellor has been r.ticngtheiieil despite the renewnl of at tacks against him by certain newspapers today. CIIA.VCEI.I.OR'S ATTITUDE The attitude of the ruling group In Ger many, as expressed by Dr. von Ilethmann Hollweg, Is this: "Despite the growing number of her enemies, Germany can fight on Indefinitely, encouraged by tho situation in Russia and the fact that the Allies are paying for gams on tho western front with enormous loss of life. The pan the I'nlted Stall's Is playing In the war is given little con sideration it this time, although It may cause an'xlety Inter The expression of war alms would have been Interpreted In the Allied countries probably as u sign of weakness on the part of Get many. Con sequently, Germany Is silent. Good reJ nilts are being attained from tho ruthless submarine warfare, as Is attested by the expressions of anxiety In tho British press," A significant feature of the Reichstag ses sion was the Introduction Into Its remarks by Phlllpp Seheldemann, the Social Democratic leader, and Georg l.edebour, the Inde pendent Socialist, of references to a possible revolution In Germany. Kerr Seheldemann Intimated that if the British and French I enounced the idea of annexation, and Ger many Insisted on annexing territory, there would be a revolution. ' "These Interpellations demand from me a definite statement on the question of our war alms," said the Chancellor. "To make such a statement at the present moment would not serve the country's Interests. I must, therefore, decline to make It. "Since the winter of 1014-15 I have been pressed now from one side, now from the other, publicly to state our war alms, If possible with details. Every day they were demanded from me. To force me to speak an attempt was made to construe my si lence regarding the program of the war alms of Individual parties as agreement. Against that I must again resolutely pro test. "On giving liberty for the free discus sion of war alms 1 had It expressly de clared that the Government could not and would not participate In the conflict of views. I also protected against any posi tive toncluslons whatever regarding the Government's attitude being drawn from the Government's silence. "I now repeat this protest in the most conclusive form. What I was ever able to say about our war alms I say here in the Reichstag publicly. They were general principles they could not be more but they were clear enough to exclude identifi cation such as was attempted with other programs. These fundamental lines have been adhered to up tB today. They found further solemn expression in the peace offer made conjointly with our allies of December 12, 1916. "The supposition which has recently arisen that some differences of opinion ex isted on the peace queitlon between us and our allies belongs to the realm of fnble. I expressly affirm this now with certainty. I am at the same time also expressing the conviction that the leading statesmen of the Powers which are our allies are with us. "If the general situation forces me to re serve, as Is the case now, I shall keep this reserve, and no pressure either from Herr Scheldeman or Herr Rocslcke (conservative Interpellator) will force me from my path. I shall not alow myself to be led astray by utterances with which Seheldemann, at a time when drumfire sounds on the Alsne and at Arras, believed ho could spread am-mg the people the pos sibility of a revolution. The German people will be with me In condemning such utter nnccs nnd also Roesclte's attempt to repre sent me as being under the Influence of the Social Democrats. "I trust that tho reserve which I must exercise It would be unscrupulous on my part did I not exercise it will find support from the majority of the Reichstag and also among the people. "As regards our eastern neighbor, Rus sia, I have already recently spoken. It ap pears as if new Russia had declined for herself these violent plans of conquest. Whether Russia will or can act in the same sense as her allies I am unable to estimate. Doubtless England, with tho assistance of her allies, Is employing all her efforts to keep Russia harnessed to England's war chariot and to tranverse Russian wishes for speedy restoration of the world's peace. "If, however, Ituula wants to prevent further bloodthed and renounces all violent plans ot conquest for herself, if she wishes to restore durable relations of peaceful life side by aide with us, then surely it la a matter of course that we, as we share this wish, will not disturb the permanent rela tionship In the future and will not render Its development Impossible by demands nhlrli. Indeed, do not accord with tlm free dom of nation nnd wonld deposit in the llusslan nation the germ of enmity, Thun derous npplnttse, "I doubt not that an Agreement, aiming exrtuslTcly nl a mutual understanding;, ronld be attained, which excludes every thought of oppression nnd ivhlcli would leave behind no sting and no dUcoid. .SCIIKIDCMANN IN STIRRING SPEECH Phlllpp Seheldemann, In Introducing the Social Democratic interpellation, said : "The party decision does not demand Im mediate, peace, but action by the Socialists of all countries. We adhere to the same point of view as contained In the demand or August t, the territorial Integrity of Ger many nnd her economic Independence and development: but today we still refuso to oppress foreign peoples. On both, sides the nations arc being put off with the promise of an Imminent final decision. It Is our task to expose this playing with tho life of peo ples nnd we ciy to all governments, 'It Is enough ' "The supporters of conquest shont for Increase of power, Increase of" territory, money and raw material. That can only be wanted by a nationally organized gang of robbers " (This statement provoked ' a ttorm of Indignation on tho Right ) "The drawing of the Kaiser Into this agitation has as a result that nbroad the Kaiser Is made responsible for Pan-Gerninn madness and the outbreak of war and that he Is con tinually being Insulted. "Peace by agreement would be good for tune for Europe, Ninety-nine per cent of all the peoples look with hope and longing to Stockholm. If France and Great Itrltaln renounce nnnexntion and (lermnny Insist thereon, we shall have a revolution In the country." There were prolonged shouts of Indigna tion at this, and cries of "Shame!" "Stand down !" The president called Herr Sehel demann to order, but Seheldemann con tinued: "It has not gone so far as that yet ; the enemy does not 1 enounce annexation. A peace Just tn all parties should be con cluded. I mn firmly convinced that no peace can he concluded without an altera tion of frontiers, and that must be arranged by mutual understanding. I nm bitterly op posed to tho slaughter of another million men simply because certain Germans de sire pence that would follow conquests. Long live peace. Long live EuropV BRITAIN EXPECTS ACTION BY GERMAN SOCIALISTS LONDON", May IS. Formal admission that Germany Is angling officially for a separate peace with Russia was tho main point in Chancellor von Bethmann-IIollweg's Reichstag speech that struck the British press and public today Otherwise the address was regarded as a mere recapitulation of previous out lines of Germany's alms but nn outline which may possibly arouso the German Socialists to drastic action. There was no disguising tho geneial lecognltlon of the seriousness of tho Rus sian situation hero today. It vvns realized the Chancellor baited his book with very enticing words to tho new Russian Govern ment, but the belief was expressed that despite disorganization In Petrograd at the present moment tho differences In govern ment them would bo Ironed out and the trickery of the German proposals bo ap p.iitnit to the new democracy. England does not expect German Social ists supinely to take Hollweg's rebuff ot their pleas. Interpreting the Chrncellor'a speech n a practical surrender to (linker dom, British official and public attention was centered on the Socialist hint of a republic In the Central' Empires'. ' The Immedinte effect of the Chancellor's sharp words. It was expected here, will be to add Htrength to tho Ledcliour-Haase anti-Government Socialist group ond cor respondingly to decreaso the limuence of tho Seheldemann pro-peace, pro-Govern. .incut Socialist faction. The ledebour Haaso group Is scarcely a month old, It was formed when Seheldemann centered all his attention on agitating the Stock holm Socialist peace conference and when rumors of government backing to that ef fort began circulating In Germany. l.ede bour is a Socialist of the extreme Lieb knecht type, and It Is a coincidence that he represents Llebknecht'x old district III the Reichstag. Berlin dispatches, however, Indicated that even Seheldemann with his pro Government sympathies was greatly angered by the complete refusal of the Chancellor, to grant any part of the Socialist request for clear definition of war alms. Ho apparently went Just as far as Ledebour In warning the government of a popular uprising If Germany did not more clearly specify her war Ideals. Miliukoff Out; Forced to Quit by Socialists Continued from Paae One policy, and the Council's demand for his official head. ,A, F. Kercnsky, a Socialist, Minister of Justice, hns been appointed Minister of War succeeding Guchkoff, M. Tcreschcnko, Minister of Finance, has been named nctlng Foreign Minister. The Executive Committee of the Duma has affirmed the refusal of the Government to proclaim as a fundamental condition of peace that Russia seek no more territory nor demand any Indemnities. As a result of the Government's refusal, members of tho Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Deputies have refused to enter the Ministry. These developments leave the Russian sit uation once again wide ci.n. They came after many elements In Petrograd had balled with relief the action of the council In voting for acceptance of the Duma Government's offer of a coalition of forces to restore govern mental order. The terms of the council's acceptance were not made public, except It was hinted that it had demanded Paul .V. Miliukoff, Minister of Foreign Affairs, must not nppenr In the reorganized Cab inet. Mlllukoff's resignation, however, has failed to satisfy the council's demands. From the Government's t election of the proposal today It appears the council went much further than mere demnnd for Mlllu koff's head nnd possibly Insisted upon formnl renunatlon by the new coalition government of certain agreements with the Allies. The Duma Government's rejection de clared It was Impossible to expect Russia to renounce the principles enunciated on April ft. The Government further Insisted, the council was told, that It was necessary to confirm the unity of all forces on nil Allied fronts nnd to wage an energetic struggle against Internal anarchy. DITMA COMMITTEE CONCURS The Puma Ministry's refusal currod in by the later announced. The principles enunciated on April ! were In the form of a proclamation to the Russian people, signed by Prince I.voff. president of the council. This statement declared Russia did not seek to "humiliate or kUbJugate" but did not specifically le nounce claims to ludclmlty. The Solillcrs' and Workmen's Council has heretofore strongly demanded u policy of "no annexa tions and no Indemnities" and It Is pre sumably this rock on which the two forces In tho Russian situation have now split. Coalition was decided upon by the execu tive committee of the workmen's and sol diers' council by a vote of 4t to 10, thus reversing tho 22 to 23 vote by which the executive commltteo of that organization previously rejected such u proposition from the provisional leaders. The meeting was a secret one. It was known, however, thnt the council was Im pelled to Its resolution by the gravest re ports of disintegration of Russia's army. Speakers lecountcd tho series ot resigna tions of high army commanders, beglnn.ng with the Minister of War and Including yesterday such well-known commanders as was con- Duma committee. It wus General Brusslloff h'.id Gurko and detailed wholesale desertions ot soldiers themselves. It was recognized that Russia's foremost bulwark was In the army, und tho council decided at once to take forceful steps In checking such an. alarming growth. It was a foregone conclusion thnt the pit visional Government would not raise any objections to the elimination of Miliukoff from a coalition Ministry. He has lacked support frctn the army and workmen ever since his statement of wnr nlms. He had been under flro since the demnnd that be publish hII "secret" treaties In existence between Russia and the Allies, and for his reported action In giving blanket Indorse ment to all compacts previously entered Into with other nntlons by Czar Nicholas and the old regime. Publicity for these treaties within two weeks was promised a group of soldiers' delegates from the front today In n speech by the soldiers nnd workmen' leader Seie tell. Ho frankly expressed alarm at the lack of coheslveness apparent In the army and urged his nudltora to return und woik for unity of action, Serctell was later commissioned by his colleagues of the Soldiers and Workmen's Council to negotiate with Gutchoff and urge hint to return to his post as Mlnlrter of War.
