MAMMALIAN FROWNED
ON ARMISTICE TERMS
Advised Refusal, Declaring Ger
many Was Still Formidable
Told Kaiser to Abdicate.
BY Associates Press,

Copenhagen, Nov. 1.-THE former
Imperial Gernar chancellor. Prince
Maximilian OF Baden, has issued a pam
phlet saying:
my peace policy was entirely upset
by tho proposal for an armistice. which
was handed to me in complete form on
my arrival In Berlin. 7 fought against
1t for practical and political reasons.
Lt seemed to me 4 grave mistake to al
low the first step toward peace to be
accompanied by such an amazing I'D
mission OF Germauy's weakness.
Neither tine enemy powers nor our
own people regarded our military situa-
ton such as TO make desperate meas
ures necessary. / proposed that the
government as a first measure should
state exactly its program OF war aims
and demonstrate to the world our
agreement with President Wilson's
principles and our readiness to undergo
heavy national sacrifices to fulfil those
principles.
Il was old in reply that there was no
time TO wait Tor the effect OF such a
statement n that the situation at the
front demanded that a proposal for an
drmistice should be made within "a
hours. to be- supported by publication Of
the names OF q rev and uniDlpeachabla
government.
"A week later the military authori-
ties informed me thai they had been
mistaken in the Judgment they had
formed concerning the situation at the
front on October l."
Advised Abdisation.
Prince MaXimilian says he informed
the emperor it would have an important
effect Il the emperor decided voluntarily
to abdicate az lie would probably be
able to save the country from serious
disturbances. But other important cir
cles tried to convince the emperor alb
dication would be the sigma! for the
breaking up Of the German front.

washington Bureau OF The Tribune.
Washington. Nov. 1S.--The Norris
resolution for a change in the Senate
rules so as to prevent certain members
from dominating the committee is the
opening shot, said Senator Kenyon
today. The change proposed by Sem
ator Norris is a fair one, and I be-
lieve It will receive much support. The
elder statesmen. both on the repub-
lican and democratic sides, are much
vexed at Senator Norris, but they
realize they will have to reckon with
him IN view OF the fact he was re-
turned by an overwhelming majority.
They also recognize that he Is a skill
full parliamentarian.
II Is regarded as certain here that
even though the Norris rule Is not
adopted 1t will result in h old guard
republicans giving important conces-
sion to the progressive republicans in
committee places.
Washington, D.. c., Nov. 1S.-The
time honored congressional seniority
rule is going to nave to light FOR It's
life.
Senators and representatives OF the
midwest claim that while their states
made q return Of the republicans to
power, possibly the fruits Of the vic
tory are going to the east in the form
Of floor leaderships, unless the senior
ity rule is changed.
This rule is already in effect in the
House. but many representatives going
a step farther, basing all choices for
committee chairmanships on merit
rather than on length Of service. The
| progressive wing of the party has al
ways frowncd on the seniority rule and
now many Of the "old liners" are
showing signs Of going against II.
Analysis Of the recent elections
shows that the backbone Of the repub-
lican sweep was in Kansas. Indiana,
Ohio. Iowa and Missouri. II the senior
ity rule ia followed III the next con-
gress, iowa will get one and perhaps
two important committee chairman
ships. Kansas one and the other states
will be almost lost in the reckoning.
Michigan, where republicans gained
one representative, would have Repre-
sentative F'ordney as chairman OF the
leader, and Massachusetts,. which lost
a republican senator, would have ap-
preparations.
The passing Of the seniority rule
would not necessarily mean 4 new
