GERMANS SELECT
PEACE ADVOCATE
AS CHANCELLOR
Prince of Baden, Opposer Of
Pan-Germans, Given Place
-Hinted as Kaiser's Sue
CeSSOr.
(By Associated rressD

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 3.-Prince Max
milan of Baden, has been named Ger
man Imperial Chancellor, according to
the Zeitung Ammittag of Berlin.
Prince Macmillan is heir to the
throne of the Grand Duchy of Baden.
He was born July 1O,1S67. For some
years he has been recognized as the
leader of the Delbrueck group of Ger
man moderates and upon the fall of
Imperial Chancellor Michaelis, Novem.
Der 1, 1917, he was put forward as
the moderate candidate for the chan
cellorship. His name, however did
not go before the emperor as Prince
Macmillan objected for dynastic rea-
sons.
At that time there were vague ru-
mors concerning Prince Maximilian
to the effect that in moderate circles
there was under way movement hav-
ing for its ultimate object the de-
thronement Of Emperor William and
the choice of Prince MaXimilian as
his successor. These rumors however,
were never confirmed, although there
seemed to be some foundation for it..
Praised by Gerard.
In his book, My Four Years in Ger
many" former Ambassador James w.
Gerard paid a tribute to Prince Maxi
milan and expressed admiration for
him. He said that Prince Macmillan
had been considered as the man to be
placed at the head of central de-
partment for prisoners of war in Ger
many and stated that it was his be-
lief that such an appointment would
have redounded to the benefit of both
Germany and the prisoners placed in
his charge.
Early in the present year Prince
Macmillan gave a semi-official inter
view in which he outlined his views
on Germany's peace terms. His state
ment was rude shock to the Pan
Germans in that he advocated the
abandonm- of all ideas of vonquest
He advocated an Anglo-Saxon peace,
in the sense that the German empire
must serve as bulwark in protecting
the western nations from a spread
of Russian Bolshevikism
Prince Maximilians wife was for
merly Marie Louise, Duchess OF
Bunswick-Lunesbourg, and bears the
title of princess royal of Great Britain
and Ireland.

denburg line in this area and more
ground Of the most important nature
has been gained.
In Flanders, further substantial ad-
vances have been made and there has
been extraordinarily heavy fighting In
which the British forces fought their
way forward by sheer might. The re-
pulse of attacks north of Stadeni and
northwest OF Roulers is reported.
Enemy Begins Retreat.
Prince Maximilian of Baden, man
whose peace views are known to be
opposed to those of the pan-Germans,
has been named German Imperial
Chancellor it is reported from Amster-
dam. Prince Maximilian is the recog
nized head of the Delbrueck moder-
ates and is man about whom the an
ti-militaristic elements of the empire
may gather in an effort to bring about
negotiated peace.
With their lines broken in many
places and held together only by su'
perhuman efforts at nearly every point
in the active sectors from the North
Sea to Verdun, the Germans appear to
have reached the limit of their endur-
ance and are beginning to retreat
This withdrawal is not limited to any
single sector but evidences of it are
reported at many points along the
battle line.
Outfianked and imperilled by the
advance Of the Anglo Belgian armies
east of Ypres, the enemy Is now rap
idly retiring from the LaBassee sector.
1t is reported that Menin and Roulers
are burning, that the Belgians are
within two miles of Turcong and that
Lille is being emptied Of its civilian
population.

Berthelots army In Champagne the
enemy is slowly giving ground as Gen

In the Belgian sector the situation
is seemingly most critical for the Ger
mans. Their retirement from LaBas-
see would appear to make necessary
the abandonment of the district Of
Lens, to which the enemy has clung
with persistence since 1914. II Lille

HOSPITAL
MAKES annual
PLEA FOR FUNDS
War Conditions Make Needs
of Hospital More Impera-
tive Than in Former Years.

The Ladies' Aid society Of Reid Me
mortal hospital will make their annual
appeal for funds, Saturday, Oct. s..
Owing to war conditions the needs of
the hospital are more urgent and i'm
perative than ever before. The hos
pital is endeavoring to meet every re-
quirement growing out of war condi-
tions. 1t has increased it's nurses
training school to the limit of it's ca
pacity in order to supply the govern
ment's demand for nurses 1t has
sixteen graduate nurses in France and
for our sick and wounded boys, and
because of the great need for nurses
is at present educating, training and
caring for thirty-two student nurses
to fit them for war work to relieve the
suffering and to save the lives Of hun
dreds of our boys "over there"
During the last year, without COM
pensation in Child Welfare work alone
the hospital cared for more than fifty
children who were operated on for
minor physical defects in order to re-
store them to perfect or normal ply
sical condition. 1t has also cared for
a number of our soldier boys sent to
the hospital by the state conscription
board for various operations to make
them physically fit for duty in the
army.
e Owing to the large number of phys
icians in war service, as well as prac-
tically all of the graduate nurses in
Wayne county, the hospital is being
taxed to the limit of its capacity to
care for their patients all of which in
creases the demands on and expense
OF operation of the hospital.
Maintenance Problem.
The increased cost of food, and the
scarcity and almost prohibitive prices
of drugs and surgical supplies, which
are absolutely necessary, makes the
maintenance of the hospital a most
serious problem which can only be
met by generous response of the peo-
pie.
The faithful. unselfish and efficient
work Of the ladies of the aid society
in all the years past gives ample as
surance that every dollar contributed
to the hospital will be wisely and
properly expended.
We must not fail in our patriotic
duty to aid our country in this strug-
gle, nor in the primary duty of caring
for our own sick who must depend
more largely upon the hospital, be-
cause of the depletion in the ranks of
the doctors and nurses upon whom
they might rely in normal times.
AS the hospital is faithfully and pa
triotically putting forth every effort
to meet all the present extraordinary
conditions, the ladies of he aid society
feel justified in anticipating an I'M
usually generous response to their ap-
peal for funds to carry on this impor-
tant work.

America, also. and is now q years old.
Neither he nor his father have be-

David claimed exemption on the
ground that he was not an American
citizen.
For some time there was a dispute
among local attorneys as to his
standing. Gen. W. T. Kennerly,
United States district attorney, said:
Free is an American citizen and
subject 10 military service. because of
the fact that he was born in America,
