The German government further
denies that the German navy in sink

AS fundamental condition for

Hitherto the representation OF

not been endowed with an influence

The constitution did not provide Tor

cellor Of the empire to the represen-
tation of the people is being legally
developed and safeguarded. ihe
first act OF the new government
has been to lay before the relchstag
bill to alter the constitution OF
the empire so that the consent OF
the representation OF the people IS
required for decision on war and
peace.
The permanence OF the new sys-
TEN is, however guaranteed, not
only by constitutional safeguards
but also bv the unshakable determi-
nation Of the German people, whose
vast majority stands behind these
reforms and demand their energetic
continuance.
"The question OF the president
with whom he and the governments
associated against Germany are
dealing-is. therefore, answered in
clear unequivocal manner, and the
statement that the offer OF peace
and an armistice has come from

is supported by the approval OF an
overwhelming majority OF the Ter
