[Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.] GERMAN DISPUTE. BERLIN, June 26. A fierce fight over the ex-Rulers’ Claims Bill is raging among the Judicial Committee, preliminary to the presentation of the Bill in the Reichstag. The Government continues to make concessions to the Socialists, whose latest amendment stipulates that the capital sums or income paid to the exRulers shall he employed only to cover their personal private needs, or for charitable and cultural purposes, and also that no capital handed over to the ex-Rulers shall be removed from Germany. This the Government has accepted, in spite of the indignation of the Nationalists, who maintain that the purpose of the Socialists is to humiliate the ex-Rulers. If the bill is altered in compliance with the Socialists' demands, they will vote in favour of it. but whether the Nationalists can prevent the necessary two-thirds majority remains to ho seen. The Cabinet have made it known that the alternative to the acceptance of the bill, will bo a dissolution.
