RADICAL UTTERNNCES
BY GERMAN CHANCELLOR

Cyril Brown, the New Yorn Worlds

lowing report Of the address by the
chaLcellor:
Equal rights ana participation for
all in the work of the state" after the
close of the war was the pledge given
by Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg
to the German people in a debate in
the Prussian diet He gave this pledge
as an answer to the challenge of the
house of lords which, in spite of the
war has ClunE to rcactionary princi-
pies.
The chancelor's open confession of
progressive political faith--generally
called the new oricntation" - may
prove one of the most important mile.
stones in German political history.
To the German public it overshad-
ows all other events of the day.
What the chancellor, speaking as the
Prussian minister president, pledged
himself to irrevocably in the public
forum is nothing more nor less than
a long step toward democracy, a more
liberal, representative form of govern
mont, implying for Prussia n dramatic
political remodelling on modern lines.

Phoenix, Ariz,, March 19.-The

today began a rebuttal of the evil
denCe of fraud in Douglas precinct

have thrown out. That fraud had
been committed there was the bur
den of the testimony Of dozen wit
nesses last week. A. c. Pearson, who
acted as inspector in that precinct,
was put on the stand PearsOn's
name had been most frequently as
sociated with the alleged fraud than
that of any other member of the
board. Pearson said that he left
Douglas on a vacation on Feb. s, and
knew nothing of the charge of fraud
against him until he reached civil
ization week ago. He said that he
at once set out for Phoenix by the
way of Douglas to vindicate himself.
His direct examination occupied an
hour and a half and four hours were
devoted in the afternoon to cross ex-
animation, at the end of which he
said he had only an uncertain recol-
lection of the matters concerning
which he had testified. The only
other witness before the court was
Pete Nelson, another member of the
board, whose evidence consisted
mainly of a disclaimer Of any knowl-

Paris, March 19 (Noon). - The
French, closely following the retiring
Germans, reoccupied Guiscard last
night and at several points reached
the railroad from Ham TO Nesle, the
war office announced Troops were
pushed along the national road to st.
Quentin.
The German line at last accounts
was in full retreat over a section
which represents almost one fifth of
the west front from Switzerland to
the sea, closely pressed by the French
and British. French troops, advancing
with the precision of machine along
a forty-mile front, have recaptured
important towns and many square
miles of territory, accomplishing this
at small cost to themselves. so care.
fully has every detail of the advance
been thought out.
French Pursue Rapidly.
In the Lassigny region, west Of
Roye, the Germans appear to have
made only a weak defense since the
French were able to push forward
thirteen miles at one bound. General
Neville, the French commander, who
is credited with possessing almost un-
canny ability to gauge the powers Of
his opponents, is following up the re-
treating Germans with great rapidity.
1t is regarded here as doubtful
whether the Germans will find it feas
ible to offer serious resistance before
reaching the basic line of defense be-

lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRsl
Washington, March 19.--President
Wilson is expected within the next
forty-eight hours to indicate definitely
that he believes virtual state of war
exists between the United States and
Germany
News received from Plymouth that
fifteen men, some of them Americans
had been drowned when the Amer-
can merchantmen NigilanCia was sunk
without warning by a German sub
marine, added, if possible, to the al
ready grave view Of the situation held
here as a result of the destruction OF
the Figilanca, the Illinois and the
City of Memphis.
Plans Not Disclosed.
Whether the president will hasten
the extra session of congress, already
called for April 16, or will take ad
ditional steps to protect American
commerce without this move, was not
disclosed tonight. No official pre-
tended to know his plans, and the
general view was that he was still
considering the question in his usual
deliberate way.
A cabinet meeting probably will be
held tomorrow afternoon and at that
time the new situation arising out of
the aggression of Germany is expected
to be thoroughly canvassed.
Aggressive Action Begins.
Preparation for aggressive action
to protect American rights began to"
day when the president personally
visited the navy department and di-
rected Secretary Daniels to utilize the
100000 made available by con-
gress to hasten naval building plans
Early graduation of two classes at
Annapolis and the mobilization of re-
serves will make it possible to man
quickly all ships of the navy.
The question was also taken up of
getting into communication inform
ally with Great Britain and France
to discuss cooperation in the protec-
ton of commerce lanes. This step
probably will not be taken until the
course of the United States has been
finally determined
War Virtually Exists. |
The president likewise saw Secre- !
taries Lansing and McAdoo, and Will /
liam Denman, chairman of the federal /
shipping board, and there was every
indication that he was mapping out
comprehensive plans for the protec-
ton of American interests in any
eventuality.
1t is generally conceded that already |
virtual state of war exists with Ger
many in spite of the technical armed !
neutrality status of the United States.
A suggestion advanced tonight was
that the president might issue call
for congress to meet within ten days
and in his proclamation point out the
new situation facing the nation since
he asked for authority to establish
state of armed neutrality. No one
rrofessed, however, to be in the pres
ident's confidence.

London. March l9.-The following
manifesto has been issued by the

Citizens: The great work has been
accomplished. BY a powerful stroke,
the Russian people have oyerthrown
after long years of struggle,
Under pressure of awakened ma
tional forces, the act of October 30,
1905, promised Russia constitutional
liberties which were never put into eX-
ecution. The first duma, the mouth
piece Of the national wishes, was dis
solved. The second duma met the
same fate, and the government, being
powerless to crush the national will,
decided by the ac' Of June IS, 1907 to
deprive the people of part of the
legislative rights promised them.
People betrayed.
During the ensuing ten years the
government successfully withdrew
from the people all the rights they
have Won.
"The heroic efforts Of the army,
crushed under the cruel weight OF in
ternal disorganiZation and the appeals
of the national representatives. who
were united in view Of the national
danger, were poWerless to lead the
emperor and his government into the
path of union with the people. Thus
when Russia, ly the Illegal and dis"
astrous acts of her governors, was
faced with the greatest disasters the
people had to take the power into
their own hands
Will Press War Harder.
with unanimous revolutionary
spirit, the people fully realizing the
seriousness of the moment and the
firm will of the duma, established d
provisional government which consid-
ers that its sacred duty is to realize
the national duties and lead the coun-
try into the bright path of free civil
organization. The government be-
lieves that the lofty spirit of patriot
ism that the people nave shown in the
struggle against the old regime also
will animate our gallant soldiers on
the battlefields.
Observe Alliances.
"On its side. the government will
do its utmost to provide the army
with everything necessary to bring the
war to a victorious conclusion. The
government will faithfully observe all
alliances uniting us to other powers
and all agreements made in the past
While taking measures indispensable
for the defense of the country against
a foreign enemy, the government will
consider its first duty is to grant to
the people every facility to express its
will and power and will convoke as
soon as possible a constituent assem-
bly, on universal suffrage.
