The chancellor faces members who lave criticised htm for his alleged failure to wage more energtlc war on England and men who still advocated a resumption of vigorous submarine warfare. Supported by a renewed out burst of editorial opinion and by at tacka on American neutrality apear- Ing in yesterday a papers, they pressed the chancellor for more explicit pledgee than were contained in hi rechstag speech on Thursday. On the outcome of this conference will depend whether Bethmann-Holl weg's opponents will continue to wage open War on him when the reichsug reconvenes next week. Though several newspaper critics attacked the Chancellor for failing to outline mora speciucany in govern ment a intentions toward England in his relchstag speech, these sentiments were not shared by the majority of his relchstag opponents. Thev re aliiied, they said before today's con ference began, that the chancellor wus speaking under the greatest difficuH.es, with' hostile newspapers waiting to pounce on any utterance and miscon strue it to suit their own ends.
