IN GERMAN SQUABBLES
LONDOV Oct ID
Germany s present polltlcM crisis li due
to a purcb political squibble and has no
significance from the standpoint of pence,
according to Arm belief expressed In best
Informed quarters
Socialistic actlvltv In Gcrmanv, It was
declared Is due principally to the fact that
the ridlcals have been stung Into energetic
measures b attacks on them bv the Con
servatives and the Pan-Germani have been
fighting hard for control after having tr'ed
Jltchaells as ( h incellor and found him
wanting
British observers todaj pointed out that
repeated mention of pilnce von Buelovv and
Foreign Secretaiv Kuehlmanii as successors
to Mlchaells as Chamellor might be re
garded as convlnc'ng proof that the Kaiser
Coes not Intend to form a peac Govern
ment." The war lord knows that men of
the t)pe of Buelow and Kuchltnann could
never conduct negotiations with 1 ngland,
because England would be unwilling to deal
with such men whose records have been
hown Up and who stand as much discred
ited with England as Von Bernstorff now
stands In the Cnlted States
The feeling here today Is that there Is
not the slightest chance for peace before
another spring and summer campaign, with
America's might added However. England
xpe,cts Germany to make her most des
perate drive for a German peace this
winter.
