Must Stand Together.

Count Won Hertling claimed the initi-
alive for the Prussian reforms proceed
/ ed from the crown. and after abiding
/ to some new bills of reform affecting
! the workmen's unions. referred TO the
I censorship question and promised 10
do what was possible to allow free
expression of opinion and set aside
tbuses. He continued:
THE point now is to stand together
uni led and firm until victory is achiev-
ed. Our enemies begin to see they
cannot deprive us of victory by force
of arms but they base their hope on
supposed imminent internal break
down"
Submarines Is Only Way.
AS - the submarine campaign, the
chancellor said:
Submarine warfare against mer-
chant ships exercises systematically
its powerful and inevitable effect 1t
wasand is the only thorough going
beans for carrying on against the SUI
perior power of our adversaries an eco
nomic war forced upon US. 1t directs
itself againsta enemy tonnage anG
those voyaging in the enemys service.
The ships sunk will continually eX-
coed the tonnage of those newly built.
All observations give us unimstakable
proof that the submarine war against
merchant ships will reach the aim in
tended for it."
Count Won Hartling then praised the
army and navy and the soldiers on all
fronts. He eulogized the home popu-
latl3n for its patience and endurance
in bearing the privations the war had
brought with it, especially the women
who had so bravely taken up the work
of the men called into military service.
He spoke Of the financing of the war
which had been carried out satisfactor-
lily adding:
70 Billion Marks Raised.
"Theempire has appealed seven
times - the German people to provide
the means and all classes of the popu-
lation have complied in order that each
might bear his portion of the burden
and the sum of 70 billion marks has
been subscribed voluntarily to date"
In asking the reichstag for a new
credit of Is billion marks the chancel-
lor alluded to extraordinary war ex-
penditures which had called forth
among all the German people con-
seriousness and solidarity. Every
member VISA now aware that he was a
part of the grand total of valuable
members of the state which. they rec
ognize quite peculiarly as their affair
and possession.
Must Recognize Right.
The chancellor then spoke of the de-
mand for reform and adjustment of pO-
litical affairs. lie said it was neces-
sary to recognize what is right in this
demand and to carry it through with
firm hand.
He added:
"One should particularly not be led
astray by catch words nor slavishly
initiate the institutianos of other coun-
tries. but should do what is demanded
by the actual needs Of popular life and
which correspond to the German spirit
and German characteristics.
Constitution Not Changed.
"Of the fundamental principles of
our imperial constitution nothing can
or shall be changed. They are dis
tinctive and have grown out of the his
torically developed character of the
German people and their various
branches. Parliamentary representa-
ton in the reichstag rest upon the
broadcast conceivable base.
when our political life developing
itself upon this firm foundation. under
takes new tasks and when the new
needs made themselves apparent with
in the framework fthe imperial con-
stitution. the imperial government will
at all times lend a willing ear TO the
wishes and suggestions which may
reahc It from this honorable house-of
that | am sure"
