KAISER ONLY FOR
PARTIAL REFORM
Rescript Regarded as Attempt
to Stem Tide of Public
Opinion.
''S0P TO THE PATRIOTS"

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, April S. via London.
April 9, ] 20 a.m.-The German enperors
commitment to the reform of the PIus-
sian franchise contained in the rescript to
the imperial chancellor, Dr. Won Beth
mann Hoiweg, is in effect an attempt to
stem the tide of public opinion demanding
the immediate introduction OF reform
bill. The emperor. through his rescript
pledges the authority of the throne to
some project of reform, thus meeting the
objections of the reform element to Won
Bethmann's policy of postponing such
legislation until the end Of the war.
The chancelors appeal to delay the
work of reform in the interests of internal
harmony. 1t was declared In recent de-
bates in the reichStag and the Prussian
diet, fell in with the plans OF the Prus-
sian conservatives who are announcing
moro or less vaguely their readiness to
keep in an alternative Prussian three
class franchise after the war.
Notwithstanding the chancellor's ap-
peal, the vote in the reichStag just be-
fore the Easter recess showed an over
whelming majority for the immediate in
PRODUCTION of reform bill. and it is
doubtful if its advocates can be dissuaded
even by the imperial pledge.
The imperial rescript is noteworthy for
the absence of two of the four adjectites
in the classic formula for electoral re-
form-universal. equal, secret, direct bal
lot-the emperor committing himself only
to the abolition of the three-class fran
chise and the substitution of A direct.
universal IS not especially significant,
as general manhood suffrage already pre-
walls and votes for women are not at
present an issue.

But the avoidance of the word equal

indicate that Won Bethmanns project.
which has found the emperor's approv-
al. is along lines which some of the
conservatives have intimated would be
acceptable, namely. for a diluted suf-
given for property, educational and
public service and for other special
qualifications The property interests
by these additional votes. running as
high as five, would be able to save
something of the power whereby the
iunkers dominated the Prussian diet
and. through 1t, the imperial govern
ment.
patriotic sentiment. was that an extra
vote be granted wearers of the iron
cross.
The adoption by Prussia of the secret
ballot. however, would be great ad-
vantage over the present system, land
holders of the junker class having been
able to add to their dominant position
in elections carried on through the
three-class system by control of the
third or lowest voting curia in the
country districts. the peasant farm
hands not daring to vote openly against
candidates of their employers.
For what measure of reform is con-
tanned In the imperial rescript Ger
mans may thank the Americans and
Russians. President Wilson's message
and the Russian revolution brought
matters to a head and aligned the lib
eral and modern forces with the radi-
calls and socialists in the movement for
immediate reforms. and the emperor
and chancellor have been forced to
take into serious consideration these
strong parties.
