P' ,h,i nnrn these great armies ure trans

"Think also of the Immense amount, of

War Fund Clash
Continued from Pace One
opposed to any unnecessary or extravagant
tise of the State's money for any purpose. 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.

Rap Hollwcf Speech
Continued from 1'nce line
clallsts, expressed the fear Mint the chances
of a separate peace with Russia bad been
retarded by the attitude of the Chancellor,
despite his veiled overture.
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.

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. At the same time It was knov.v that
the resignations of a number of other high
army commanders were Impending
