Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg-'s Dr. George successor, Mlchaelis, Is Germanys first common Copenhagen. Serious news came from Berlin, on' Friday. The reichstag has gone on strike and the members have decided to suspend the labors of both the full house, and the main committee until the political situation Is cleared up. . This leaves the war credit bill in abeyance. Emperor William has summoned Field Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of the general staff, and General von Ludendorff, the chief quartermaster general, for a conference.

The Austrian reichsrat was thrown into an uproar on Saturday when the former Czech minister, Herr Praschpk, declared the hate of the entire world was not directed against Austria, but against Germany, and that Austria should detach herself from her ally, says a Vienna dispatch. How are we to obtain peace, demanded Herr Praschek, if we cling to the German side? Must we continue to .sacrifice our interest to the expansion of Germany? Must we continue to submit to the German militarism that has drawn us into this war? The speaker declared that Czech deputies had been imprisoned for attempting to bring about an alliance of Austria with Russia and France and added that if they were to be stigmatized as traitors then all Czechs similarly should be so V chancellor, a bureaucrat without even a noble von" before his name. Dr. Mlchaelis has os yet given no indication of his policy regarding reform and peace. Neither the conservatives nor the liberals have ventured to call him their own. Whether or not Germany is closer to peace with the allies as a result of the resignation of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweis still a question to be decided by future events. The. new chancellors first step, which might be Interpreted as an indication of an open mind, was to receive representatives of the two divergent groups in the reichstag and permit them to explain their respective standpoints, the chuncellor playing the role of listener to the conversations conducted by the vice chancellor, Dr. Karl Ilelfferich, and the reichstag representatives. The Germap papers unite in characterization of his energy and edness, but are most reserved in their predictions of his probable policy. The Gerpapers aligned for the man peace are perhaps a shade more enthusiastic about the political possibilities under the new regime than the radical and socialist organ.

Berlin papers which were published before the appointment of Dr. Mlchaelis was known, throw further light on the circumstances of Yon g falr-min- Bethmann-IIollweg- retirement They s show that the emperor was confronted by the necessity of dropping the imperial chancellor or virtually the entire Prussian cabinet, the members of which, including the war minister, General von Stein, a soldier, not a politician, submitted their resignations, declaring that they could not remain was reIf Yon Bethinann-Houwe- g tained.

An official communication issued in Berlin says Emperor William expressed the opinion that the political and constitutional reforms demanded by the reichstag are such that they concern not merely himself but his successor, in as much as they would For this reason the be permanent emperor summoned the crown prince to attend one or moire crown councils, at which final decisions regarding the extent to which the crown and the government will make concessions to the reichstag will be reached.
