IN GERMANY.

WAR LOAN BILL UNANIMOUSLY PASSED. Received August 22, 2.10 p.m. Amsterdam, August 21. In the War Loan Bill debate, Heir Heft'erich said a thousand million sterling had been already voted, and no fresli taxation would be added during the war. The people had a gigantic burben, and the heavy burden of a thousand millions must be borne through decades by the instigators of the war, not by us. The loan will be issued at a higher price than England's and without England's sensational advertisement. At present the enemy was bearing two-thirds of the cost of the war. Herr David, a Socialist, said the war had not broken Germany's financial strength, nor had she made use of indebted foreign countries. After the Bill had been read a third time, Dr. Liebknecht entered a protest amid roars of laughter. The Bill was passed unanimously.

"IF IT IS COD'S WILL" MORE OF THE CHANCELLOR'S UTTERANCES. Received August 22, 2.10 p.m. Amsterdam, August 21. There was a great demonstration outside the Chancellor's palace at Berlin. Herr Bethmanu-Hollweg, in a speech, said the Russian fortresses had been dashed to pieces like earthenware. The Reichstag had declared in strong terms the people's unconquerable will io secure victory. Ten thousand million marks hud been voted at one sitling. He added: '•SHU the fight is not linisbed. If it is l.iod's will I lie day- will come when we shall say, what will not bend must break."

"THE LIMIT." CAUSTIC PRESS CRITCISM. Received August 22, 2.10 p.m. Amsterdam, August 21. The Niouo Svandendag, commenting on Hollwcg's references to the rights of small peoples, saj's it cannot be said that; Britain oppresses conquered people. "To hear Hollwcg say that Germany does not threaten small nations, after a year of the worst crimes against Belgium and Luxembourg—well, that is the limit.'' The flerman press acclaim Hollveg's denunciation of England. Some declare that the moral of it is that England's sea power must he destroyed for ever. STIFF NECK.
