THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, W121N1S1A", JUNE 27, 1917. EDITORS OF BERLIN GRILL CHANCELLOR WITH THE PORTLAND ENGINEERS IN CAMP AT AMERICAN LAKE. One Scores Bethmann-HoIIweg for Saying President Wil son Is Autocrat. INNER REFORMATION URGED Appeal Is Made to German People lor Immediate Action Eugene Zimmerman Takes Exactly Opposite Point of View. COPENHAGEN June 26. Germany's Heading editors in their customary Monday articles deal harshly with the government in general and Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg in particular. Theodore Wolff, in the Ta-?eblatt, reads the Chancellor a lecture for declaring: through the North German Gazette that President Wilson is more of an autocrat than Emperor Nicholas was, the writer pointing out that the Presi dent in the moat important question to be decided, whether war should be'de clared, had to obtain a favorable vote from the Congress and was unable to do anything without the approval of that body. Herr Wolff's-, reference to this fact is made in an appeal to the German peo ple immediately to set about' the' work of the inner reformation .of. the stale as its most pressing task and to join in the international work of smother ing the firebrand of demoraliniTig Chauvinism" wherever it appears.. Eugene Zimmermann in the Lokal AnzeSger, which newspaper is now con trolled, by the Pan-Germans, takes ex actly the .opposite tack and holds up Russia as a horrible example to' those Germans who are desirious of bringing the democratic, spirit -into. German in stitutions. The existing system, he de clared, is responsible for Germany's lrilliant victories. In closing his ar ticle with an attack on Chancellor von 3-iethmann-rtollweg, Herr Zimmermann asserts that the newspapers which are working for "bad democracy" in Ger many .have absolutely no support by the German people the writer evident ly choosing to ignore the size of the German Socialist vote. It remained for George Bernhard to make the most startling statement. In his desire to condemn Chancellor von JUethmann-Hollweg for failing to de clare openly and plainly Germany's war aim programme, this writer in the "Vossische Zeitung who has been main taining that the submarine campaign was steadily and rapidly bringing the war to a successful end, now says that Germans must recognize that if this end is to be attained by military means it will be only after long delay and that statesmanship must be brought into play. .
