A PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR

Annually. with the coming ON OF the
season OF spring. mankind views with
new appreciation the rebirth OF beauty
and the Joy OF living. In a large field
OF the vegetable kingdom there is an
absolute recreation. while in other
domains the trees and shrubs burst
forth into leaf and blossom and an
nually renew their esthetic and mate
rial service to the world.
At such times It is the instinct OF
mankind to emulate the course of ma.
ture. and in those districts where arti.
fetal displaces natural cultivation
there is a custom to plant trees,
shrubs and Towering plants. This in.
stinct conforms. not only to natural
fitness. but to the demand OF modern

MANIFESTO DEMANDS
ELECTORAL REFORMS
"Intellectuals" Get Busy When
Reichstag RecOnVened
Today

Amsterdam, July 5.-Greatest inter
est is manifest in the scheduled meet
1 ing of the German reichstag today
throughout Germany. First Berlin dis
patches reported that Imperial Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg might
seize the occasion to make formal re-
lply to British Premier Lloyd-George s
recent Glasgow speech amplifying on
the British war aims and asserting that
| there can be no peace without victory.
OF scarcely less interest throughout
the country was the report of the con-
stitution committee expected to be sub
mitted at the opening session of the
German parliamentary body and the
action to be taken ON it. Back in May,
the constitution committee, headed by
the majority socialist, Philip Scheide-
mann, made several recommendations
for changes in Germany's governmental
system. It's work at that time was hail
ed as immediate accomplishment of the
kaiser commands to Bethmann-Holl-
veg urging a readjustment of certain
inequalities in the government Short
ly after, however, a certain class Of
German radical socialists of the Lede-
bour, Haase and Liebknecht type, dis
covered that the 'reforms' suggested
by the committee were mere shams.
Committee Killed It
The committee recommended that the
imperial chancellor be made responsible
to the reichstag in his actions. The
move was hailed throughout Germany
as great reform step. But the com
mittee promptly vitiated this by for
mally voting that the reichstag had nc
power to remove the chancellor for
any act of his. Power Of appointment
of the chancellor and of his dismissal
was retained, as always, with the kais-
er.
The committee, however, did recon-
mend a complete redistricting and re-
apportionment plan for representation
in the reichstag Exactly how this is to
be achieved is to be decided at meet
ings of the committee, which are to
be held this month.
Germanys present system of repre-
sentation in the reichstag is that which
was devised in 1871. 1t does not permit
of minority representation. The consti-
tuition committee has announced it will
change this scheme on the basis OF
equal suffrage of all men.
The German state of Prussia holds
the balance Of power in Germany and |
neither the reichstag nor the constitu- !
ton committee can make reforms there |
without action by the Prussian reich |
stag.
Today's meeting of the reichstag was |
for a scheduled session of two weeks. |
The original plan was for sitting of
only three or four days but it was be- |
lieved that this will be prolonged.
