OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"
o.:ewhat of "a -Four Flush"

)::cewhat of -Four IIush."
Word was received several days ago
that the German emperor had issued
a decree for franchise reforms but
hitherto the text of the order, which
affects only Prussia, has not been
available 1t bears out advices re-
ceived from Copenhagen last night to
the effect that the results of the Ger
man political crisis thus far are com
paratively small
The Introduction into the emperor $
decree of the phrase equal fran
ch1se merely restores provision
which, according to Berlin gossip, was
contained in the original draft of the
emperor'S Easter manifesto and was
eliminated at the last moment in con-
sequence of reactionary intrigue. 1t
was also pointed out that the new i'm
perial announcement does not pre-
scribe immediate adoption of the re-
forms inasmuch as the elections may
not take place till after the war, and
that there is not word of the intro
duction of parliamentarism in the i'm
perial administration.
NO Reform'-C. :. Version
Washington. July 13.-Germany is
making no real internal reform. The
reported resignation of Hollweg and
his associates meant to officials here
/ today merely a shift OF men-not
principles. Germany is throwing out
sop to world opinion, it is believed,
while in fact she remains great mill
tary autocracy.
Taking stock of the situation, both
| from press reports and from the word
of returned observers, military men
today viewed matters with extreme
pessimism.
Hollweg's scornful rejection of mo
lamentations. no indemnities' signified
to the experts here that the military
side of Germany has presented sta
tistics showing cold bloodedly the
German confidence in victory. And.
while military men only whisper this,
{ they say that present developme nts
point strongly to the uselessness of
the present trench warfare as a de-
! cisive factor in swaying the war bal
ance.
Air or Navy May Decide.
A big air victory or a decisive naval
encounter, they declare, is the only
/ thing to upset the present alignm emit
Trench warfare, as they see it, is
only continuous murder, with no
prospects of either side drawing real
victory.
The United States, experts say, must
undertake a big air offensive. or risk
all her ships in smash at Germany S
/ sheltered navy in the kiel canal, else
the existing deadlock will continue to
be a deadlock on the west front
America perhaps could turn the
scales, they say, by sending more mil
lions of men than she has planned.
! but the process would be so long as
to be almost impossible.
Meantime the German upheaVal is
not taken seriously here, for it spells
nothing approaching a real popular
/ revolution, in the minds of authori-
ties.

Delays Call for Special Session.

Gov. f. l.. Philip is back at his
desk in the capitol. There is Il daily
string of callers who come to advise
him on the question of special SEES
sion of the legislature and ON the SEN
atOrial proposition.
There is a sentiment here that If
the legislature does not give the ex-
ecutive the power to appoint United
States senator the office will be al
lowed to remain vacant until the gen
eral election next fall. In his recent
signed statement Governor Philip
called attention that an election now
would cost the state upwards of $780,
900.
There is a division among newspa-
per editors of the state as to the pol
icy which should be followed. Many
Of the large dailies have demanded a
special election. There are some,
however, who are taking the attitude
that it would be better to fill the SEN
atorial office by an appointment.
Governor Philips closest friends
have not changed their minds about
the appointment proposition, and 1t
viii he urged upon the legislature with
force.
