would cripple us for generations. But
If we comprehend that this frightful
war is, over all, victory for the idea
of justice, and submit to- it with no
mental reservation, we will find in
1t the cure for our present wounds
and a reservoir for future strength. "
None can forsee whether the next
few weeks will call us to fight on, or
open the way for peace There is no
doubt we are now equal to the task
of either war or peace by carrying out
our governments program and def
nitely breaking away from the old
system.
The legal question will not stop at
our boundaries, which We will never
open for violence of our own accord.
The principles upon which we have
agreed as our rule Of conduct also in
yolve internal questions. Thanks to
the parties acquiescence in the gov
ernment's proposal for electoral re-
forms Prussia now has advanced so
far that equal direct suffrage has
been secured.
BILLS now pending before the reich
stag make It possible for members Of
that body to en.,1 the cabinet without
resignfng their seats. There IS also a
change in the law regarding the chan
celor's representation Hitherto, only
the highest imperial authorities were
able to represent the chancellor. In
the future, deputies may participate
in the direction OF the imperial policy,
being responsible in the chancellor's
name without actually being mini
sters. We are convinced the govern
ment and parliament thereby may
supply precious forces from the peo-
ple which M to this time have not
been utilized.
ri hope soon to reveal to the reich
stag the results of the preliminary la
bors regarding extension of the chan
cellor's political responsibilities.

No Limitation Of Armament.


No Limitation Of Armament
WASHINGTON, Oct. -23.-War and
peace developments to date fail to
give definite promise of a limitation
of armament after the war.
This was taken to be one OF the
meanings behind Secretary Daniels
request for new three year navy
building program-ten superdread-
lnoughts. six battle cruisers and 140
smaller craft at an estimated cost OF
| 5000 100000.
While Daniels is a strong advocate
Of limitation OF armament after the
war. he holds that while the war
proceeds, it is well to look out for the
/ future. He pointed out in asking the
new appropriations that they would
tend to ally fears that the major
ships were being overlooked in press
ing haste for destroyers and other
anti-submarine craft.
The new battle craft will be the
last word in big ship construction
with new ideas in drive, fire control
and other phases.
No Official Statement.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-The British
foreign Office today issued the follow
ing statement regarding the latest
German note to President Wilson.
"The reply was addressed to Presi-
dent Wilson. He must deal with 1t
! and determine whether 1t shall be
communicated to the allies. Until
then, 1t is not desirable to make a
statement officially"
The Chronicle today published the
following:
england will demand surrender Of
U boats and France will demand
evacuation of Alsace-Lorraine as q
condition of any armistice."
