A coali tion cabinet In Germany is impend intf, according to dispatches quoting the newspaper Germania.

The Tageblatt revealed that Liber al leader Strossemann, at Tuesday n secret meeting of the Reichstag vi olently attacked the chancellor. The Oermania is quoted as announcing the oenterist party overwhelmingly approved Mattia Ehrxbergers efforts to force the Reichstag to go on rec ord for a statement of Germany's war I alma. Hollweg has the backing of the Kaiser. CKNSORSII1I" IS IIKAVY. i-everl German newspapers are quoted as statinje that Chancellor Hollweg has pledged the Reichstag Zimmerman and Helfferich would go. All dispatches from Germany are heavily censored. Ju.st what is transpiring I1 hind th scenes is problematical.
