German government replies
Hitherto the representation of the
people III the German Empire has not
been endowed with an influence on The
formation Of the government.
The Constitution did nit provide for
concurrence Of representation Of the people
on decisions Of peace and war These
conditions have just now undergone a
fundamental change. A new government
has been formed in complete accordance
with the wishes tprlnciple2) Of the repre-

universal, secret, direct franchise
The leaders Of the great parties of the
ReIchstag are members Of this govern
ment In the future no government can
take or continue in office without pos
sessing the confidence Of a majority Of the
Relchstag.
The responsibility Of the Chancellor of
the empire to the representation Of the
people is being legally developed and safe
guarded TIE first act Of the new governs
ment has been to lay before the Reichstag
bill 10 alter the Constitution Of the
Empire 50 that the consent Of the repre-
sentation of the people is required for de
cisions on war and peace
The permanence of the new system Is,
however, guaranteed not only by consti-
tutionaI safeguards, but also by the IN
shakeable determination Of the German
people. whose vast majority stands behind
these reforms and demands their energetic
continuance
The question OF the President with

be brought about for fixing the details
II trusts that the President OF the United
States will approve Of no demand which
would be irreconcilahle with the honor OF

way 10 peace OF justice.
The German government protests
against the reproach Of illegal and IN
humane actions made against the German
land and sea forces and thereby against
the German people. For the covering oi

the best of their ability. Where trans
gressions occur IN spite of these lnstruc-
tions the guilty are being punished.
The German government further de-
nies that the German Navy in sinking
ships has ever purposciy DESTROYED lie
boats with their passengers The German
government proposes w'th regard all
those charges that the facts be cleared up
by neutral commissions.
In order to avoid anything that might
hamper the work of peace. the German
government has caused orders III be dis
