HUNS PUBLISH
new PLAN FOR
GOVERNMENT
Many Notifications Toward
Democracy Made InCIud-
ing Suffrage and Free
dom of Speech.

Berne, Nov. IA dispatch re-
ceived here from Berlin says the
new government has published its
program in a proclamation. The
dispatch adds the program enforces
many notifications toward demo-
cracy and liberty, economically and
politically.
The proclamation includes that
the victims of the fighting during the
past few days inside greater Berlin
shall be buried together in the GEM
etery where the victims of the l84S
revolution we're buried.
The proclamation announced that
the state of siege has been raised,
that there is to be full liberty for all,
even functionaries to form associa-
tons; the censorship, including that
on theatricals, is abolished; there
are to be freedom of speech and of
writing, amnesty for political Of
lenses, an eight-hour work day, and
universal direct secret suffrage, with
proportional representation for both
sexes above 20 years old, for cleo
tons to all public bodies.
To Convene Assembly.
The Berlin government. according
to the Frankfort Zeitung, after some
resistance from the independent So
cialists, has resolved that as soon as
the business program has been set
tied it will take up the question:
of the convocation of a national as
sembly.
News reaching here seems to
show that a serious effort is being
made in Berlin to maintain order
The Vossische Zeitung publishes
a notice to the public that persons
are not permitted in the streets
after 8 p. m. The same newspaper
announces the arrest of twol civilians
and three soldiers for Iillaging.
They were sentenced to death.
In the south the movement has
taken on a more democratic than
socialistic character.
At Stuttgart purely socialist gov
eminent was formed at first, but now
three representatives of the bour-
geoisie have joined the ministry.

Near Erzingan

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Armanian bands
which have been operating west of Erzi-
gan and along the roads from Erzigan
to Ardassa and the coast village of
Goerele have been scattered by the
turks, says Reuter- telegram from
Constantlnople by way of Vienna.
Inc dispatch makes this significant
statement:
The resistance of armed bands has
been broken in villages west of Err
zingan and in Erzingan itself, as we'll
as north of that city,
This indicates Turkish forces of
considerable size operating again in
Armenia.
The return of the Turks to Armenia
since the withdrawal Of the Russian
Caucasian armies, may be expected to
plunge Armenia into new chapter of
atrocities and massacres. That the
Turkish action in this direction will be
met with no opposition from Germany
may be gathered from the fact that
the German newspapers recently print
ed several official Turkish communica-
uons bearing close family resem-
blonce to the Turkish pronouncements
which preceded the earlier Armenian
masSacreS.
A communication published last week
says:
"Armed bands of Armenian guerillas
are beginning to prosecute the Otto
man lnhabitants of Armenia, and APP
peals to the Russian military are un-
availing. The facts bearing on this
are confirmed by testimony of natives
who have escaped from the claws of
tn Armenians. Moreover, Populations
have been sent to the Turkish govern
ment with requests for help by the
populations of various districts, who
are defenceiess against Armenian per
secutions and are continually exposed
to its terrors."
The statement concludes with a list
OF significant atrocities" alleged to
have been perpetrated by Armenians.
