ASKS GERMANY
Be FREED TOO
Teut0n Socialist Makes Plea in
the ReiChstag.
CHANGE is DEMANDED NOW
Philip Scheidemann Declares That
the World Fights Prussia Be-
cause 1t Alone Bars De-
moCracy.

Berlin, March 21-PhiIipp Scheide.
mann, socialist leader in the reichstag
says in the socialist newspaper, YOr-
WaertS:
ut does not require many words to
explain why almost the whole world is
arrayed against us. The answer is
given quickly. The whole world sees
among our enemies more or less de-
velOped forms of democracy, and in US
it sees only Prussians.
eve have always answered by re-
ferring to the absOlutism of Russia
but now czarism has gone and the en-
perOr's successor is to accept the
throne only if the representatives Of
the people agree. These representa-
tives are to be elected on the basis of
universal, equal, direct and secret SUI
frage.
In Asia the empire Of the man
darins opposed every reform. They de-
sired an emperor with absolute power
as long as he did their will, and there
by undermined the monarchy and laid
European central empire similar spirits
seek to build similar Chinese walls and
hinder every reform. The clock shows
five minutes to twelve. They imagine
they hold up the time when they move
back the hands to eleven.
Hollweg Always Procrastinator.
"Why does the chancellor shrink
back now from unconditional necessi-
ty? Always the hesitator, the pro-
crastinator, Bethmann-Hollweg wishes
to begin to cure Prussia after the war.
Russia also promised all reforms after
the war, but the war lasted too long
for the Russians Why postpone to
tomorrow what is absolutely necessary
today, what even the king himself de-
clared years ago was one of the most
urgent matters of the business Of the
state?
Now is the time for decisive action.
The difficulties which might arise if
the government adopts the reichstag
system Of elections for Prussian cleo
tons are as a featherweight compared
with the difficulties which will come
if it does not do this. The chancellor
should not delay one day. The Prus-
sian people, as well as the other Ger
man states, will stand as one man on
his side if he acts decisively."
LokaIanzeiger Is for Delay.
In a different strain the Lokalan-
zeiger, one of the newspaper organs
close to Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, says:
"a change in the Prussian electoral
system has been promised for year
and after the war will be debated and
put into practice with all quiet thor
oughness. That is no longer news; it
is an obvious fact. To demand it for
tomorrow and at that in connection
with a hymn of jubilatiOn for the Rus
sian revolution is so precariOus a ven
ture that it must be rejected. 1t is
certain that Minister-President Won
Bethmann-Hollweg intended no such
result from his latest speech"

The mobilization of industrial re-
