LEADERS BEHIND
RECENT GERMAN
SOCIAL PROGRAM
Embodies Enemy Peace
Terms, is Belief of Allied
Officials.
fBy Associated Press)

LONDON Sep. 25.-There Is good
reason to believe that the program
adopted by the social democratic fac
ton of the Reichstag at its meeting
on Monday was not only inspired by
the German government, but actually
embodies Germany's peace terms, ac-
cording to Rotterdam dispatches to
1t is pointed out by the dispatch
that the part of the program referring
to international arrangements as dis
tinct from internal reforms was dis
cussed soon after the failure of the
German offensive and when it became
apparent that Germany's prospects
were hopeless.
The resolutions adopted by the Soc
ial democratic party included the un-
restricted endorsement of the Reich
stag of the peace resolution of July,
1917. It also declared in favor of
Germany leading league of nations
based on a peaceable settlement of all
disputes, and general disarmament.
There was an inoffensive declara-
ton on the Belgian question, on the
restoration of Belgium and on an I'M
derstanding regarding indemnities,
and the restoration of Serbia and Mon
tenegro and a declaration that the
peace treaties of Brest-Litovsk and
Bucharest must not hinder the con-
clusion Of peace. 1t was urged that
civil administration over all occupied
territories be given upon the conclus-
ion of peace to democratic parliments
which are to be established forthwith.
Autonomy for Alsace and Lorraine
was also privided for in the resolu-
ton, which also declared for univer-
sal, equal, secret anddirect suffrage
for all the German states.
1t is said that the Prussian Land Tag
will be dissolved if equal suffrage does
not result without delay from DELHI.

Thomas Ingersoll, now located in
Washington, D. c., as executive sec
rotary of the National Real Estate as
ISOLATION board was the principal
speaker at meeting of twenty real
estate men of the city at the CONNER
cial club this morning
John Peltz, local secretary for the
Real Estate board introduced the
speaker, who explained in an informal
manner the relations of the National
association, and its members who are
termed realtors" to the war depart
ment
Ingersoll said, Last October con
gress posted the alien property custo-
dian bill, and this has necessitated the
assistance of men acquainted with
such work as has also the housing
question, which is becoming more and
more important as the war continues.
The government has hired us to assist
in organizing work allied to both of
these questions and many others. The
men on the committee, members of
which are stationed in various towns
are in most cases donating their SER
vices in making appraisals, and lend
ing experienced advice. The field
men go into the cities where housing
questions have come up for investiga-
tions and their assistance is immedi-
ate and needed"
mo longer, Ingersol continued" do
we hear much of the real estate shark,
for through publicity and outstanding
work of the realtors" the profession
has been raised, and now, gentlemen,
we are down there at Washington put
ting the Real Estate business on the
map"
The state secretary of the Real Els
tate association, Mr.. Darwin, of Indi-
annapolis, spoke briefly in regard to
the state organization and it's work,

Deep Discomfort
AMONG GERMANS
CAUSES CONCERN
Situation Not Justified by
Condition on West Front,
Says Won Her;ling.
,Ry Associated Press,

LONDON, Sept 25.-Count Won Her
thing, German Imperial Chancellor,
addressing the Main Committee of the
Reichstag Tuesday, declared the pub
lie discomfort in Germany was not jus
tilted by the military situation on the
western front.
The Chancellor opened with the
promise to meet the desire of the
reichstag for information as far as
possible. He proceeded to allude to
the deep discomfort which has seized
wide circles of the population. and said
that the principal reason was the
pressure of the terrible four years of
war, with all the deprivation and sui
ferings brought in its wake. and the
sacrifices imposed on all classes, all
families, and, more or less, on every
individual.
81 have no intention of trying to d.
minish this pressure by words" he
continued, "but, gentlemen, Il this dis
content is Influenced by our present
military situation, by the events on
the western front, must. without de-
string to anticipate statement which
we may expect from representative
of the War Ministry, declare most en-
able limits"
Count Won Hertling admitted that
the last German offensive was unsuc-
cessful, and that it had been neces-
sary to withdraw to the Siesfried line
"The situation is grave" he added,
"but we have no cause to be faint
hearted. We have already had to pass
through harder times"
The Chancellor instanced the failure
of the Verdun offensive, the Somme
battles and Brussiloff's mass assaults,
bringing in their train the well-remem
bered unfavorable reaction on the
Austro-Italian front. Then came Rou-
mania's entry into the war.
1--WE never lost courage" he said,
"but showed our enemies what a reso-
lutte will to victory could do.
How do things stand now? We
have peace with Russia and Roumania,
and even though conditions in Russia
are not yet clear, and the future ap-
pears uncertain. nevertheless the for
mer menace from two sides has disap-
peared, and a considerable part of our
men of the Eastern army Can be en-
ployed in the West"

ARMY MUST HAVE
$4,000 NURSES
BY next JULY
(By Associated Press)


ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 25-Acting
Secretary of War Crowell, in a let
ter read today before the convention
of the American hospital association,
said the army probably would need at
least $4,000 nurses by next July. In
order to obtain them without serious
ly Gripping the civil hospitals. he
said. Secretary Baker has approved a
plan to supplement the supply of grad
uate nurses with pupils after the army
school of nursing, which plan is now
being put into effect by the surgeon
general. Up to the present, Mr.
CroweN added, the government has
withdrawn from civil hospitals only
about 10000 nurses. while $4,000 have
been graduated from training schools
Mr.. Crowell said that Secretary
Baker realizes the demands of the war
department have seriously affected the
administration of civil hospitals by
the withdrawal of staff physicians,
internes, nurses and employees.
IAN effort has been made" he de-
clared. ito leave a sufficient number
of physicians for the hospitals, but
this has been rendered difficult be-
cause of the patriotic spirit which
has prompted many to go in spite Of
the representations made to them
that their duty was to remain at
home" He told the delegates the gov
ernment's program of five million men
under arms by next fall would neces-
state approximately 100000 hospital
beds abroad and 100000 in the United
States for army purposes and urged
the support and cooperation of all
interests concerned.
