EQUAL DIRECT AND
SECRET BALLOT TO
BE GIVEN GERMANS

Bernc, Switzerland, Nov. 9.-The
group forming the majority OF the
German reichstag, says a Berlin
message, have agreed to present at
the approaching session OF that body
a plan for elections to the reichstag
and to the lower houses OF the con-
federated German states by equal
direct and secret ballot, following
the principles of proportionate rep
resentation and all without diStinc-
ton of sex.
The voting age is to be set at
twenty-one years of age.
Proportionate representation in
the reichstag would give the Social
Democratic party, on the basis OF
the first reichstag elections, large
increase in membership in the legis-
lative body.

SCENE Of RECENT
CROAT|AK REVOLT
Fiume Is Seaport of Great Activ-
ity-How Magyars Took II From
Croatia Surroundings Are Pic
turesque.

From Fiume come reports OF
smoldering rebellion among the
Croatian people. The sudden re-
volt of the 10Th Regiment OF Croat-
ian soldiers stationed at Fiume must
be taken as an indication of-the way
the wind blows. 1t was brief enough
for three Austro- Hunbarian regi-
ments were hurried up from Al
bania to crush ii. Nevertheless,
there was bittE fighting in the
streets of the city before the upris-
ing subsidized and scores OF people
were killed. Even ii it is nothing
more. the unrest in Fiume is an
other significant proof that the
Croatians are ripe for revolution.
Fiume OF Rieka, as it is called in
the Croatian tongue, has long been
a source OF friction between the
Magyars and Croatians. Although
it was built on Croatian SOIL the
greed OF the Hungarians led them
to snatch it away from its owners
in 1903. The way in which they did
this was extraordinary. Some years
previous. there had been an agree
nent between the Magyars and
Croats that Fiume should remain un-
Ter Croatian control, together with |
he rest of the Croatian territory.
This irritated the Hungarian trad
RS, who had begun to covet a port
N the Adriatic. Consequently, the
hungarian governor OF Croatia
oddly pasted strip OF paper over
he part OF the contract which re-
lted to the city OF Fiume, and de
Jared it a separate governmental
nit, annexed to Hungary. This
ocument, with the strip OF paper
asted over part OF it, is still pre-
erved in the archives OF the Fiume
ificialS.

Today, the government officials at
