Berlin, via London, April 9.-Em- porer Williams Easter message prom ising internal reforms for Prussia and for the German empire overshadowed all other news in the papers today. The Lokal Anzeiger has nothing but praise for the imperial message. The Liberal and Radical papers find fault because the emperor suggests delay in the reforms until after the war. The conservative and reactionary newspa- pers are anything but pleased with the fact that the emperor should promise any reforms at all.
 The Pan-German Deutsche Tages Zeitung says 1t will withhold comment until the text of the coming minister ial proposal is available.
 The conservative Kreuz Zeitung says:
 ''The news was not unexpected. It convinces us that a halt on the way to the introduction of a Reichstag electoral system and full democratiza- ton of Prussia and Germany can no longer be expected from the policy of the chancellor

 ELECTORAL REFORM
But Move Will Not Be Made Until
 Conclusion Of War

Amsterdam, April z, via London,
 April 9.-Emperor Williams order to
 the imperial chancellor, on the sub
 ject of reform of the Prussian elec- toral law is as follows:
 Never before have the German
 people proved to be so firm as in
 this war. The knowledge that the
 Fatherland is fighting in bitter self
 defense has exercised a wonderful re-
 conciling power and. despite all
 sacrifices on the battlefield and
 severe privations at home, their de-
 termination has remained imperurb-
 able to stake their last for the vic
 torious issue.
 have understood each other and be-
 strength. Both of them realize
 pece and amidst many internal
 struggles. This was certainly worth
 fighting for. Brightly before my
 eyes stand the achievements of the
 entire nation in battle and distress.
 The events of this struggle for the
 existence of the empire introduce,
 with high solemnity a new time.
 'It falls to you as the responsible
 chancellor of the German empire in Prussia, to assist in obtaining the fulfillment of the demands of this hour by right means and at the right time, and in this spirit shape our political life in order to make room for the free and joyful cooperation of all the members of our people. ''The principals which you have developed in this respect, have as you know, my approval, I feel con- scious of remaining thereby on the road which my grandfather. the founder of the empire, as King of Prussia win military organization and as German Emperor with social reform, typically fulfilled as his mon- l archial obligations thereby creating conditions by which the German peo- pie, in united and wrathful per- severance, will overcome this san l the fighting force as a real peoples | army and the promotion of the social upift of the people in all its classes was, from the beginning of my reign. ! my aim.
 ''In this endeavor. while holding a just baance between the people and l the monarchy to serve he welfare 1 of the whole, I am resolved to begin l building up our internal political, l economic. and social life as soon as | the war situation permits.
 While millions of our fellow coun- | try1nen are in the field, the conflict of opinions behind the front, which is unavoidable in such a far-reaching l change of constitution, must be post poned in the highest interests of the Fatherland until the time of the homecoming of our warriors and when they themselves are able to l join in the counsel and the voting on the progress of the new order"

Northwestern Crop Report
Carries Optimistic Tone

The Northwestern Railroad COM
pany's report of crop conditions along
the Nebraska lines for the week end
ing Friday shows heavy precipitation
over the entire state and in some To-
} calities so much rainfall that farm
, work has been delayed.
} While rain hindered working in the
fields, apparently it did not interfere
\ with the growth of crops. The report
pindicates that small. grain of all kinds
is in the best possible condition. In
some of the southern counties, the
J heads are beginning to show in the
fields of wheat and oats.
The weather during most of the
gweek was unseasonably cool, but this
Eseems to have been of great value to
fhe wheat.
\ Corn planting has been finished and
fthe fields where the ground was not
too wet to work, there has been one
cultivation The stand is as good
as ever known and in most localities
the plant is as far advanced as usual
at this season of the year.
1t is said that there has never been
so large an acreage as this year.
Potatoes are coming along rapidly
and the acreage is the greatest in the
history of the state,
