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. .
