DISCORD AMONG GERMANS
The Socialist Democrats Begin' to Deplore the
Terrible Loss in the War
A despatch front Copenhagen
says: 'The.' firet sign of discord
anions the German people is reveal-
ed in Berlin newspapers which
reached here on Tuesday. The So-
cial Democrat's are beginning bo de-
plore the terrffile German losses.
All ,of the citizen parties except the
Seeialists have formally notified
A.drairal von •Tirpitz, Minister of
Marine, that they will continue to
support the Government financially
with the programme of. 1915-16, but
the Socialist newapapersa vahigh
have loyally supported the Govern-
ment heretofore, complain bitterly
that they were not consulted with
the other parties and while bhey
are not actually refusing to sup-
port tate naval programme for ships
to replace those which have been
lost, there is (an apparent feeling
that a hitch has occurred, and that
eontinued military losses may widen
the breach.
Berlin newspapers received here
• say that the Zeppelin airships are
working under great difficu'Ities.
The arermeautio engineers say it is
necessary for the airships to fly at a
great altitude in order to escape the
enemy's gums. For this reireen ac-
curate bomb -throwing is yeay diffi-
cult. rilhe bomb -throwers are en-
cased in armored steel • 'baskets,
'which are suspended hundreds of
feet below the cars of the Zepnelins.
T.his entails great risk for the engi-
neers, one of whom has already
been shot, although the ship was
not 'damaged.
