Only Socialists to
Hold Office IN Neu
German, Government

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 1f.-Germany's
new provisional government will be all
Red. Which is to say, the bourgeois
parties will not be represented in it..
This will not be because Of their un-
willingness to participate, but because
the Socialists after conference with
the representatives of the former ma
jority party in the Reichstag definitely
refused to permit the bourgeois to en-
ter the new government.
The plan is to give the Independent
Socialists the Vice. -Chancellorship and
two other secretarial posts. There are
indications. however, that the Inde-
pendents will demand more, but their
demands have not as yet taken definite
form. It is significant that the ma
jority of the multitude of proclama-
tions issued daily are addressed to
comrades" rather than to "citizens"
and that references are no longer made
to "the Peoples Republic" but to "the
Socialist Republic"
New-York tribune., 1918-11-13

that the decisions Of the court are
respected.
Before such 3 tribunal could inter
{ pret, define and apply international
law, however, that law would have to
be declared by the powers. since few,
ii any, of them would be willing to
permit any body Of judges to apply
what are called generally recognized
rules. Of law or equity" when it Is
possible for the powers themselves to
provide the code.
Two Choices Considered
In such programme the contribution
of the United States would be very con-
siderable, as it will not arrest its naval
building programme, according to Sec
retary Of the Navy Daniels, and in q
few years this country promises to pos
sess a naval armament of the first class.
According to one well-informed
French observer here, there are two
places from which the choice of the
seat OF the peace conference will be
''"e' AHe9o aie vel iSdllleS ana basel.
Switzerland, he declared, is the only
| neutral country which might possibly
be considered. The other would have
been Holland, except that the Neither
lands government throughout the war
has been inclined to preserve it's neu-
trality In such manner as to cost it
some OF the sympathy of the Entente
nations.

Says Rights Are Those of
Small Nations for Which
War Was Fought
Commons Rejects Plea
Appeal Says Associated Pow

in Matter

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Ihe Irish party
issued an address to-day appealing to
President Wilson to aid in settle
ment of the Irish question in accord
ance with his principles that all na-
tions, large and small, have a right TO
free determination of their own form
Of government.
A demand in this respect made in
the House of Commons to-day was
voted down.
"Can any one doubt" says the ad-
dress, that the nation Of Ireland comes
under the category Of small nations
for whose rights you so eloquentfy
plead or that the present government
of Ireland by Great Britain, against
the will of Ireland, comes utder the
scathing condemnation you have given
to such exercises Of wrong
Owe claim that the war must be
observed from your standard of broad
visioned justice. for the creation OF q
new world Of freedom everywhere in

up new world that is safe for de-
mocracy; that this fact, an issue Of
the war, makes the liberation Of Ire
land, as we'll as Of other small nations.

ers have a right to a voice
Every national question to-day is
international unless the world is to

Gives Notice 1t Will Not
Submit to Continuance
of Guaranteed Neutrality
Condition Intolerable
Will Not Permit a Return to
German Supervision For
merly Existing

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The Bel
gian Legation in an official statement
to-day announced that Belgium will no
longer submit TO status of "gusran-
tecd neutrality" which existed before
the war II aspircs to complete inde-
pendcnce; to the rights common to all
free peoples"
The note of December -, l917," said
the statement, addressed by the Bel
glan government to the Pepe in reply
to the pontihcal message, advances
as Cne of the indispensable conditions
of just peace. so far as Belgium is
conce rnod, political, economical and
military independence, without condi-
tlon or restitution
These words are explicit. The Bel
glan government is opposed to the re-
establishment of obligatory. permanent
naturalization, which would fetter its
freedom Of action without insuring
peace to the nation. 1t aspires to com
plete independence, TO. the rights com
mon to all free peoples.
This status will free Belgiu from
, foreign control and give her the rignt
TO make sucn arrangements Tor her
defence as would seem. under the given
conditions, to be the most effective and
! TO regulate, furthermore. according TO
her own interests, her economic rela-
tiCns.
"nelgiuns must be allowed freedom
TO determine her own destiny; she
must be free to adopt of her own Voli-
tlon policy which shall keep her out
side of the great international compe-
titions and permit her, if some new
danger should threaten, to take any
necessary measures to defeat the hos
tile designs directed against her.
"The future of the country will de-
pend on the wisdom and the will of
the nation, as we'll as upon the constant
interest of all the great powers in q
free, strong Belgium. The interest of
the powers in the mainten~ nee of her
independence is in itself substantial
and durable guarantee to which treaties
add but formal external confirmation.
What weight and what confidence, for
example, could Belgium attach to the
renewal by Germany of an agreement
which has been so brutally and Gym
ically broken? Such a promise would
be purely derlsive.
Moreover, the events Of the last
four years render return to the status
quo of 1859 impossible. 1t would entail
q perpetual intrusion by Germany upon
the domestic life of the nation. The
enemy, the invader. the occupant OF
yesterday would not fail to keep a
jealous watch over the execution of the
+ obligations which he had imposed upon
the country and would subject it tc
regime of superin.en and in.
vestigation into cradle to public opn-
ion, and certain to cause serious diff
culties'
