Germany Movjng in
Direction Of More Liberal
Form, of Government

Berlin. March l5.-The following mo-
tion has been introduced in the Prus-
sian lower house by Herr Friedberg.
leader of the national liberty party:
'"The house resolves to request the
royal state government to present a
bill by which membership in the house
of lords will be changed in such way
that while retaining the royal privi-
leges of appointment but abolishing all
privileges of family and dignitaries
which now exist in relation to the
membership of the house of lords. rep
resentation by means OF election and
corresponding to their Importance be
granted to all large municipalities and
to all professions of Importance to the
economic life and the civilization of our
people,"
1.-THE adoption of a measure such as
that propesd by Herr Friedberg would
be an important step in the political
reorganization which has been dis
cussed so widely in Germany lately.
The house of lords is composed of
princes of the royal family, chiefs OF
mediatiZed princely houses. heads of
territorial nobility, life peers chosen by
the king. titled noblemen elected in
certain provinces by landowners, rep
resentatives of universities, burgo-
masters OF towns of more than $4,000

Fall of Bagdaa is
Staggering BloW to
Moha,n,nedan Faith

Boston, March 15.-''The capture of
Bagdad has tremendous religious and
moral significance to the Mohamme-
dams Of Turkey" says DR.. James l..
Barton, foreign secretary Of the Ameri
can board of commissioners for foreign
missions in a statement issued today in
response to request for his opinion
as an expert in Turkish affairs.
THE Turks have lost their sacred
shrines, Mecca and Medina, to the
Arabs, and now the seat of the Cali
pilates for 500 years and the tombs of
their great caliphs are now in the
hands Of the infidels.'
THE Turks have never dreamed the
dissolution Of the nation could begin at
that end. They have regarded Bagdad
as the stronghold to which those OF the
west might flee in case the western
empire was lost.
This may mark the beginning Of the
withdrawal Of the Turkish forces from
the northern line Of defense. Private
advices show that preparations to that
end We're In contemplation six weeks
ago. 1t is impossible to rush supplies
and reinforcements to the Bagdad re-
gion as the single line of railroad from
Constantinople stillS lacks $50 miles
from reaching Bagdad and could easily
be cut near Alexandretta and Mercine.
The Turkish forces operating in the
northeast against the Russians are
from 100 to 200 miles from the rail-
heads at Alb Angona.
"The American committee for Ar
menian and Syrian relief is already
preparing to send an expedition to
