MANY CONFERENCES HELD
Berlin, Thursday, Oct. 5 (Via Lon
don, Oct 6.) Efforts to compose the
differences between Chancellor von
Bethmann-Hollweg and his opponents
in the Reichstag, which have been in
progress since adjournment was taken
fter the chancellor's speech apparent
ly have accomplished little. ' The
-hancellor's position, however, appears
to be unshaken and such information
ss is obtainable indicates that the cam
paign for resumption of submarine ac
tivity on the old basis has met with no
success.
After several days of confidential
conferences of the chancellor and
members of his cabinet with a Com
mittee from the Reichstag, discussion
of the submarine issue and other prob

t day before the ways and means com

foreign affairs, and Admiral von La

statements explaining the position of
the Government. The naval secretary
interposed in the debate which fol

operations. -. ,

von Hindenburg,. chief of staff, and
and with the Navy department.
Both the military and navy represent
atives have supported the contentions
of the chancellor against the inaugura
tion ot an unrestrained submarine
campaign with the full weight of their
expert authority. Dr. Karl Helf
ferich, vice chancellor, backed the
chancellor in a powerful speech on
the economic aspects of the ques
tion. "No new arguments were introduced
however, but the chancellor's oppon-
