The strife between tho military authori
ties and the civilians In the little garrison
town of Zabern, Alsace, brought nbout
over night a political crisis of the most
ncute order In Germany. Demands for the
resignation of the Imperial chancellor
were voiced today by tho Tageblatt, the
l-'rankfort Gazette and other radical
newspapers.

Tho unsatisfying nature of Dr. Von
Bethmann-Hollweg'B explanations yes

the brusquo statement of Major Gen

war, It Is pointed out, havo not only In
sured tho passage of tho resolution ex
pressing nonconfldence In the govern
ment, but' have made possible a. serious
hitch In tho budget progrnm. It Is not
unlikely that tho Imperial Parliament,
wilt refuse to proceed with the discus
sion of the budget until it receives guar
nnteca tluvt-thero.wilU.bo ..no -repetition
of such Incidents as those which haVe
occurred al;I5cabern.
The ln!erlat chancellor, aware that
even hs otvii supporters are blaming him
for the absence of any definite declara
tion its to how he is going to deal with
the authors of the Incidents, appeared In
tho Imperial Parliament at the opentng
of today's session. He was evidently
much exercised over the situation. Tak
ing the floor at once, he declared that
Kmperqr 'William had exptcsscd extreme
displeasure over the occurrences at Zea
bern, and had given the general In com
mand orders that such violations of the
law as the clearing of the streets by
the inllltary and tho ;trrest of civilians
should not be repeated.

Dr. VotrHothmann-IIollweg denied the
existence of a secret Inner government
In Altace, which overruled the decisions
of the iecogn!xcd nuthoHtles-as had
been reported and said he would resign
Instantly If such a thing were true.
"The present moment Is a serious one,"
the chancellor said, "not because of the
possibility of my resignation, but be
cause of danger that the Zabern Incident
mid the debates In the Imperial Parlia
ment may lead to a breach between the
urmy .and, the people. The Imperial
chancellor and tho emperor are I. thor

A dispatch from Lincoln to the effect
that Secretin- of Stats Waite had given
notice that 'district Judges were to be
chosen at the general election to ba held
November 3, 1914, came as a surprise to
tho Judges here. They were Inclined to

Although the local Judges would say
little about tho situation, because they
considered that It would solve Itself
without Interference by them, they mado
It clear that they will not submit to a
decision by state officials which will
shorten their term of office without
carrying the Issuo to the suprome court

The recent biennial election provision

District Judges are among the officials
to be chosen at general electlonp and the
next general election Is to be held In No

first biennial election Is held next year
that those .officials whose terms extend

and those who formerly were elected In

The local Judges contend that their
terms cannot bo legally shortened and
that the statute provides that they shall
go before the people again In 1910. If
their contention is upheld they will hold

CAUCUS CALLED CONSPIRACY
Senator Cummins Says Currenoy Bill
Was Passed Elsewhere.
SAYS THAT DEBATE IS A FARCE
.Mr. Owen Defends Democratic
.Method nil it Snya It la the Only
War to tJet Action After
Look Delay
WASHINGTON, Dec. -Charges by
Senator Cummins that the democrats
had approaehnl 'tlungrrously near ra
conspiracy against. tfip rights tJr'ntt'tfie
people" In tsfclng caucus acUoti on the
cllrrrney ' bllf, marked .the. opening of
today's sfisloii'o'f the nennte.
''This bill has been considered else
where and passed elsewhere," he said.
"There will be no real debate In this
chamber: It will bo simply a farce. I
hesitate to participate In It, for I don't
want to give It before the country the
color of actual deliberation. I cannot
believe the American people will fOr a
long perldd tolerate this legislation by a
caucus.
Senator Lewis retorted that Senator
Cummins had sanctioned similar cau
cus methods while governor of Iowa,
but Mr. Cummins denied It.
Cniiens All llljtht, Haya Orrcn.
Senator Owen, defending the caucus
notion, declared the demoorats hud
adopted the most "direct, efficient and
simple way of securing legislation" after
congress hnd for months delayed 'action.
He denounced the extended debate on
the Hetrh I tetchy 'bill as a '"beating of
the air with empty words" 'and a de
lay of the currency bill. ,
i nepuhllrAns declared that democrats
were absenting themselves from the
chamber and that all addresses were be
ing made to "empty seats."
Heed Defends Wilson.
Senator Iteed declared the Impression
had gone abroad that President Wilson
had exerted some "undue Influence" on
congress In the currency matter.
"Th president." said Senator Beed,
emphatically, 'has never attempted to
coax or coerce congress into passing any
particular bill. I entirely deny that the
president has gone a hair's breadth be
jond the performance of his constitu
tional duty."
Senator Norrls, republican, declared
the situation showed the need of a
cloture rule. He attacked the caucus,
"With every fundamental principle
which the president laid down In his
message I am In hearty accord," he said,
"but under the caucus system I will
have no opportunity to assist In framing
the measures which should carry out
those principles. Practically every sen
ator or this side of the chamber Is In
a similar position on some one or more I
of tho president's recommendations." j

to do his shopping, wouldn't
