German dispatches reaching here today prophe sied that the Qerman government would accede to the relchstag major, lty members debate for electoral re forms and form full statements of Germany's war alms before tha vote of credit la asked Saturday. Amsterdam, July 18. (I. N. S.) Saturday promises to be the vital day in the present sesslou of the German reichstag. In addition to current reports that the resignation of the entire German cabinet might be announced, the day's program includes general debate upon the political situation, finance, the foreign policy and possibly peace. The IJberals threaten to introduce a resolution setting forth the peace terms of the entire liberal factions of the empire. So far, said a dispatch from Berlin, dated Thursday evening, the main com mittee of the reichstag has refused to vote an additional war credit of 15 000,000,000 marks, but in spite of this refusal it is understood that the credit will be discussed in the open sitting or tne reichstag. Never has the position of Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German chan cellor, been so precarious, if he has not already resigned, as reported by the Vossische Zeitung. But the re ported resignation is only one of the conflicting rumors with which Ger many is seething. Out of this swirl have come surprises as well as pre dictions. Among the besi. of these- is the Indicated attitude of the crown prince, who was called to Berlin from the western front to participate In a crown council. This council was followed by a re script from the kaiser recommending universal suffrage for Prussia. After- (Continued on Pace Two, Column Three) Mayor Baker Warns I. W. W.
