GERMANS MAY CALL
NATIONAL CONVENTION
Elections Expected to Re Held in
January According TO Dispatch
From Berlin.

COPENHAGEN. Nov 1.-THE
German government expects to hold
elections for a national convention
in January, says a Berlin dispatch
received here.
The Berlin Vorwaerts announces
that n new non-socialist republican
party is soon TO be formed from the
ranks OF the proEEessives and left
wing OF the national liberals. The
new party will have a democratic
and far-rea ching social program.
The Vorwaerts expresses the be-
lief that such a party would com
mand the support of a large part of
the press and says the socialists
would be compelled to meet strong
opposition from the intellectual
middle class.
Berlin police authorities have
adopted resolution declaring that
il is their intention TO do everything
possible to support public order and
TO let politeneSs and consideration
rule in their relations with their fell
low citizens"
The resolutions ask the citizens OF
Berlin to forget their old grievances
against policemen and help them.
The Berlin bourse He-opened yes
terday.
The Kreuz Zeitung OF Berlin prints
an appeal of Ernst Won Heydebrand
to the conservatives begging them,
"desnite the bittArnesa and Urief
which we now feel in our hearts"
to remember the country's fearful
condition of need to do all in their
power to maintain order and secure
life and property in order TO insure
the people being well provisioned.
The appeal is considered signifi-
cant as Won Heydebrand is n radi-
caTist OF the junker type and has
been referred to as the uncrowned
king OF Prussid. The appeal is eN-
pected to have good results in in
ducing the great estate owners to
assist in solving the food problems.
