Frightening crop prospects east of the

enactment of a liberal price minimum

had much to do with the strength

oats under corn was a noticeable bull

lScheidemann DecrieS Talk Of
Revolution During War.
But Voices Demand for More
Democratic Government.
NO DESIRE FOR CONQUEST
Germany Drops All Annexation
Views, He Claims.
Sees Chance for Early Peace
With Russ Neighbors.

Cope n h g IN, July 2S.-Phillip|
Scheidemann, Socialist member of the,
reichstag has given the views of the
Socialists. on their participation in the
government. Herr Scheidemann said
that if really a parliamentary govern
ment were formed with program
which the Socialists could approve
they must participate and share the
responsibility. If, however. members
of the reichstag were only to become
subordinates to under secretaries and
chancellors they would not accept the
invitation to participate Scheide-
mann said it was necessary to defend
Germany against Russia as long as IL
was an enemy but the Socialists did
not desire to see the fruit of the revo-
luton destroyed. The Galician re-
treat involved the Russian soldier and
the masses in frigntful sufferings- The
Socialist government was able to as
sign the responsibility for the enor-
nous misfortune to the Socialists of
another school.
Russia a Warming.
Herr Scheidemann set hopes for a
speedy peace upon the Russian So
cialists but not the Maximalists. who
transformed brother strife into broth-
or murder and involved the country
and army in deep trouble. This should
serve as a warning and an example
to the German Socialists not to follow
dangerous advice from abroad to work
for a revolution amidst war. He said
that to attain it all sides mus hold
fast to the program of the council OF
workmen's and soldiers delegates and
the German reichstag uninflueneed by
a momentary military situation. He
warned against a new attempt to Of
Ter Russia a separate peace and de-
clared that announcement should be
made that Germany has no desire for
conquest on any side and that Bel
| gjan independence would be gained as
well as the integrity of France.
Herr Scheidemann said that Pre-
| mier Lloyd Georges suspicion that
Germany wishes to lay a hand on
| Belgium is unfounded because this is
| incompatible with the reichsteg
resolution. Scheidmann previously
had declared that the struggle to de-
termine whether the people should
rule in Germany was uncompleted
and the Socialists were demanding a
government which would act in the
sense of that resolution.

Washington, July 2S.-While the
