If I the present crisis Coes not lead to de- . cisive and positive events soon, it will II be repeated in a sharper form and , under unpleasant circumstances.” Germany's officialdom is still in r control of the political situation but . it has not yet succeeded in bring: :g > the centTe-revoluters to a point where ■ they are willing to approve the vast > budge for war expenses. Dispatches r from Berlin today varied in the list of reported concessions which it was > said the autocratic leaders propo ■<! r to make to the reformers demands. It > was certain, however, that there would - be various cabinet changes but with- - out changing the junkers complete I domination of ail German governmentr al policies. r The main purpose of the reichs.ag J meeting, called for July slh. was to ob-

tain that body's approval of the bud get. As fur back as May when the reichstag adjourned. the government evidently soresaw some sort of political crisis. It was recalled here today that announcement was then made that the July session would continue ‘only four or live day-" There were immediate protests from radicals who had hoped for receipt of Ute constitution committees recommendation for government reform and a full mil open debate on these suggestions. far the reichstag has been In sessi at only two full days and the consli'Ution committee has not reported. ,t is completely in the control of the go--eminent, those in touch with Germ "t affairs predicted today it would not t» port. The government proposes '•» put through the budget and the a adjourn the reichstag. The reichstag leaders mentioned in yesterday's dispatches as picked to t ■ I place Foreign Secretary Zimmerman. Vice Chancellor Sols and Home Secretary Helfferich and other members of the ministry have not yet been hinted at. 1 Stjme of the most optimistic reI counts of the Berlin situation in G t 1 man newspapers assert that there a e t to be four new members of the cal jl net, and that these are to constitute ; a “war cabinet" responsible to the - reichstag and not to the kaiser. Just t how this change in the German fun 'a- ■: mental law is to be effected was not f dear. The same sources declared t- - placemat by liberals of the five Bros 1 sian state ministers who have resign tied will give that state equal male suit 1 rage and “thus abolish the junkers control." — -o— —■ . * Mrs. John Rice was a Fort \\ ayr.i , visitor today. a; Don Brown went to Monroe k'.si i evening to visit with friends.
