Adopts Emergency Budget.
London, March 29. Reuter't Am
tterdam correspondent, quoting Ber-
line advices, sayt the Reichstag hat
adopted all three reading! ot the
emergency budget. Both socialist
oartiet voted against the measure.
"Edward Bernstein, socialist," taid
the advices, delivered a speech justi
fying hit opposition to the budget.
He taid experience had ttrenghtened
bit distrust in the government. Amer
ica wat converted into an enemy by
neutralt filled with displeasure to
ward Germany. A good and sincere
peace must be striven for at the
soeediest moment.
"Herr Bernstein added' that the
events in Russia under the leadership
of the socialists strengthened the con
fidence that the social democracy wat
able to iulhll itt old peaceful pro
eram."
The socialist, Gustav Noske, said
that Russian apprehension that Ger
many would seek to restore the regi
me of Emperor Nicholas must be
officially dispelled.
Stirred by Revolution.
The German government is greatly
stirred by the revolution in Russia,
especially In regard to itt effect on
American public opinion, and Relieves,
according to the information at hand,
that internal reforms in Germany will
do more to toften the animosity of
he American people than anything
else could.
Therefore, taking their cue from
the Russian revolution, they are de
clared to feel that large promises of
internal reform leading toward a
more democratic form of govern
ment will do more to placate Amer
ican opinion than any immediate
change in submarine plana, which
they hardly dared to alter on ac
count of the widetpread belief of the
Irerman people that the present pol
icy will result in the early termina
tion of the War. Therefore any mod
ifications of the submarine campaign
are not expected, it is said, to extend
beyond the paper stage, although
meanwhile American linen like the
St. Louis may expect tome measure
of immunity.
