BESPATTERING THE CHANCELLOR, One of the most prominent of the Chancellor's antagonists is Dr. Branden bury, Professor of History at the Univer- sity of Leipzig. His contention is that the time has arrived when the Chancellor must disfue his war dims. The intelligent portion of the German nation insists on this. If the Chancellor refuses to inform
the nation more definitely than he has yet done what he means by closing the Western frontier against the anti-German pints of England and France, if he declines to explain his driving back the Russians beyond the rivers," if he has not a word to say about war indemnities and the freedoms of the seas, he may find our when it is too late that he has not the German nation behind him, and that he does not represert the strong policy which is the only possible policy for the Fatherland,"
Professor Brandenburg takes for granted that the Chancellor himedt, has dear notions as to what he wants, but his uncertainties and ambiguities have raised a wave of impatience, and he cannot complain if this ware of
