Shocks Pan-Germans.

Prince Maximilian is heir to the
throne of the grand duchy of
Baden. He was born July 10, 1867.
For some years he has been recog-
nized as the leader of the Delbrueck
group of German moderates, and
upon the fall of Imperial Chancellor
Michaelis November !, 1917. was
put forward as the moderates' cam
didate for the chancellorship. His
name, however, did not go before
the emperor, as Prince Macmillan
objected for dynastic reasons.
Early in the present year Prince
Macmillan gave a semi-official in
terview in which he outlined his
views on Germany's peace terms.
His statement was a rude shock to
the pan-Germans in that he advo-
Gated the abandonment of all ideas
of conquest. He advocated an An
glo-Saxon peace, in the sense that
the German empire must serve as
bulwark in protecting the western
nations from the spread of Russian
bolshevikism.
Prince Maximilian's wife was for
merry Marie Louise, duchess of
Brunswick Lunebourg, and bears
the title Of princess royal Of Great
Britain and Ireland,
