.GERMANYS PEACE
TERMS ADOPTED

CBy Associated PreasJ
LONDON, Sept 25.--There is rea-
son to believe that the program
adopted at the Monday meeting of
the Social Democratic faction of the
reichstag actually embodies Ger
many's peace terms. according to
Rotterdam adyices.
This action endorsed the reichstag
peace resolution Of July, 1917, and
declared in favor of Germany join
ing a league of nations. The pro-
gram included non-committal decla-
rations on restoring Belgium and the
understanding regarding indemnities
and the restoration of Serbia and
Montenegro and declared peace
treaties of Brest.Litovsk and Bucha-
rest must not hinder a conclusion Of
peace. 1t also urged the establish
ment of democratic parliaments for
civil administration in occupied ter
ritories on the conclusion of peace
and provided autonomy for Alsace
and Lorraine.

vote in the second district, the
Maine laws regarding registration
particularly favored the Democrats,
1t being possible there to register at
any time up to within a week OF
election, and the only residence re.
quired in the state of Maine being
ninety days. This would seem to be a
law ideally framed for the Demo
Gratis there in the September cleo
tion. However, Congressman Good
all, the Republican, was returned by
plurality of 2241.
Judging by these results in Maine
the nation at large is justified in
concluding that the laborers en-
ployed in government work are more
eager to have their interests repre-
sented in congress by Republicans
than they are to have them repre-.
sented by Democrats. This is an out.
standing fact of the Maine election.
The big fact revealed there is that
the Democratic campaign slogan,
Elect Democrats to support the
president properly does not appeal
to intelligent men
As only national questions were
at issue in Maine, one may regard
the register of the Maine opinion on
the contrasting merits of Republi.
can and Democratic congressman as
fairly indicative of the general opin-
ion Of the whole nation.
Elsewhere, as in Maine. the same
issues have to be met and fought
out. Maine was asked as to which
was more competent to inaugurate
policies and to pass legislation that
would win the war quickly-Republl-
cans or Democrats. Maine was ask.
ed as to which could be more safely
trusted with the new problems Of
reconstruction that are to face the
country after the war-Republicans
or Democrats. Maine was asked as
to which party, judged solely on its
record in the immediate past, was
more to be trusted in labor, in farm,
in financial and in other legislation
Republican or Democratic.
Maine has given her answer. II
will doubtless be multiplied by As
in November.

As MAINE GOES So GOES
NATION IN NOV. ELECTION

AUGUSTA. Me, Sept. 25.-4Maine
lis this year more than ever the po-
litical barometer Of the nation. Lo-
cal issues were largely eliminated in
the election and the national issues
were paramount Therefore, the re-
suit in Maine may be accepted as a
definite forecast of the national po-
litieal feeling.
And the result in Maine on Sep
tember 9th was a clean sweep of all
tickets by the Repblicans.
The complete (but untofficialD re-
turns show that the Republican can
didate for United States senator,
Bert M. Fernald, was reelected by
a majority of 1854, out of a total
vote of 120.252. This is net increase
in plurality of $50 over the 1916 re-
turns. despite the fact that the total
1916 vote was 149,520, or 29,270
more than the total vote of 1918.
The Republicans elected all four
of their candidates for congress by
handsome majorities, thus giving
Maine a solid Republican delegation
IN congress.
The most notable victory of the
election was that of Wallace H
White, Jr., Republican candidate for
congress in the second district. His
opponent was Daniel j. McGillicuddy,
Democrat This district was Demo-
cratic in 1912 and 1914, and two
years ago, with the same two candi-
dates, Mr.. White was elected, with
a plurality of only SAT. This year
he increased his plurality over Nc
Gillicuddy to the very substantial
figure of 1854.
On the state ticket the results
were no less a victory for the Re-
publieans. They reelected Republi-
can governor. Carl E. Milliken, and
they increased the Republican ma
jority in the state senate by four
and the Republican majority in the
lower house of the state legislature
by fourteen. The vote of the legisla-
ture, as a result of this election,
now stands:
Senate. Republicans. 80; Demo
Gratis, l.
House, Republicans, 112; Demo
Gratis, 80.
Three facts stand out in this re-
suit:
First. The decisive defeat of a
popular Democrat in a district nor
mally Democratic and one in which
there was a large number of gov
'ernment employed labor votes.
Second The reelection of gov
ernor for the first time in many
terms, it having been twelve years
since Maine permitted any governor
Republican or Democratic. to sue
coed himself.
Third. The decisive refutation by
the voters of the Democratic cry thai

ALLIES TIGHTENING THEIR GRIP

THE MOST IMPORTANT OUTPOST

A brief official statement reports
a further advance of the victorious
British troops in Palestine. Heavy
fighting is occurring in the region
of Gricourt, three miles northwest of
st. Quentin, and Selency, two and a
half miles northwest The British
are pushing forward in the direction
of the northwestern suburbs.
The British operating east Of the
Jordan apparently are in favorable
position to cut off the Turks retreat
ing north along the Hedjas railway.
The British are approaching Amman.
The Bulgarians are resisting allied
attempts to advance along the Bull
garlah frontier east of vardar and
south of Demirkapu pass. North of
this pass the enemy is retiring on
Veles and 1t appears that this col
umn is cut off from its comrades
further south, thus splitting the en-
emy force.
