Chairman Mccormick is said to be

direct franchise"
1.-The leaders of the great
parties of the reichstag are
members of this government.
In the future no government
car take or continue in office
without possessing the conf
dence of a majority of the reich
stag"
The responsibility of the
chancellor of the empire to the
representation. .of the people is
being legally developed and
safeguarded. The first act of the
new government has been to lay
before the reichstag a bill to
alter the constitution of the em-
pire so that the consent of the
representation of the people is
required for decisions on war
and peace.
The permanence of the new
system is, however, guaranteed
not only by constitutional safe
guards, but also by the un-
shakable determination of the
German people, whose vast ma
jority stands behind these re-
forms and demand their ener-
getic continuance.
The question of the Presi-
dent-with whom he and the
governments associated against
Germany are dealings there
fore answered in a clear, une-
quivocal manner by the state
ment that the offer of peace and
an armistice has come from a
government which, free from
any arbitrary influence, is sup
ported by the approval of an
overwhelming majority of the
German people.

The text of the German note. a

I'm accepting the proposal
Tor an evacuation of occupied
territories, the German govern
ment has started from the as
sumption that the procedure of
this evacuation and the condi-
tions of an armis,ice should be
left to the judgment of the
military advisers and that the
actual standard of power on
both sides in the field has to
form the basis for arrangements
safeguarding and guaranteeing
this standard.
The German government
suggests to the President that
an opportunity should be
brought about for fixing the de-
tails. 1t trusts that the PresI
dent of the United States VIII
approve of no demand which
would be irreconcilable with the
honor of the German people

Paris, oct. 22.-The German re-

and the decentralization of the Ger

Allies victories.
As a whole, the note is found to

door open for all sorts of Quilbling.

HUNS FEAR SHELLS
ACROSS THE RHINE


Paris, Oct 23.-The rapidity
of the British drive in Flanders
and northern France has caused
the Germans to realize that the
Allied forces are approaching the
Fatherland at a rate that, if not
checked, might before long find
their long-range guns pitching
shells across the Rhine. There
fore the enemy is pulling himself
together with view to delaying
to the utmost the Allied advance.
The civil population of Elan
ders continues to be liberated at
the rate of tens of thousands
daily, now that the Germans have
ceased TO drive out the civilian
occupants of the places they
evacuate. Arrangements for min
istering to the needs of these
long suffering people are being
admirably worked out by the
armies engaged.
