OPPOSES WAR ON TURKEY
AND BULGARIA.

Washington, April 24.-Def
mite opposition to declaration
Of war ON Bulgaria and Turkey al
this time was indicated by Presi,
dent Wilson today at a conference
with Senator King of Utah, who
recently introduced resolution
calling for war with both couu.
tries.
Senator King sought the Pres.
ident s views as a result of a de
bate in the senate yesterday on a
resolution by Senator Brandegea
Of Connesticut, asking the senate
foreign relations committee for
immediate action on the King res
olution.
Senator King announced after
the conference that he would not
press his resolution.
The Brandegee resolution was
laid aside yesterday. although sew
eral senator's announced they were
willing to vote for war declare
ton.
Senator King declined to dis
cuss the Presidents views but
from other senators it was learned
that the President was ready to
present his information to the
senate with his reasons for OPP
posing present action. Arrange
ments were made for members of
the senate foreign relations COM
mittee soon to call upon the Pres
ident.
Considerations Of diplomacy
and safety to Americans in Bull
garia and Turkey, particularly
the latter, are understood to have
prompted the President s decision.
There is no reason to hope, it was
said, that both Turkey and Bull
garia may yet drop out as belli-
gerents. The administration was
to have information that
if it were possible Turkey as well
as Bulgaria would be glad to take
advantage of an opportunity to
break away from the Central
Powers. Many Americans also re-
main in the two countries and diff
fculty has been encountered in
inducing Americans in Turkey
with religious mission
to leave.
In view of these considerations
senator's were advised that the
President believes the technical
advantage of formal declarations
Of war with Turkey and Bulgaria
would not outweigh the advant-
ages which may later possibly ac-
crue to the Allies.
So earnest was the President re-
ported in his opposition to decls-
rations Of war that he was said to
be ready to give his reasons by

THE new RECRUITS
Twenty Three Hundred New Men to
Camp February %.

BY SERGT. GEORGE C. ADRIANCE.
Announcement is made of the in
duction of 1880 men into the national
army at this camp on February %.
The new recruits will be sent to the
depot brigade. Later they will be as
signed to permanent organizatio
They will constitute the last Is per
cent of the new draft and will be
drawn from Class 1. These men are
expected to pick up the essentials of
drill and department much quicker
than the men OF the earlier contin-
gents. They will have the benefit of
the experience of soldiers who have
been working hard for five months
past and now driving ahead at top
speed. The new men will have the
benefit of drill under a non-com per-
sonnet that has been coached to
state of considerable efficiency. There
is hard work ahead for the rockies
but their assimilation will be rapid
and complete.

GERMAN DEMOCRACY" AS 1T IS

German duplicity does not end with
the battle-lines. 1t extends to diplo-
macy, to trade and to government.
1t seeks to deceive the Russians Ito
believing that Germany favors peace
without annexations and indemnities, -
and, in the same breath, it assures the
junkers that nothing will be done to
limit the conquests of the sword. 1t
maintains the unyielding autocracy of
phrase, it tells the German people that
theirs is free government.
This was the spirit that prompted
the Allgemeine Zeitung of Essen, when
in discussing Mr.. Wilson's great ad-
dress on peace terms, it scoffed at the
Presidents arraignment of the Ger
man system of government. "Presi-
dent Wilson," it said, Seems not to
know that the smallest appropriation
for the army requires the sanction of
the reichstag, the most democratic
parliament in the world"
The most democratic parliament in
the world"-the phrase is turned with
such calm assurance that the unthink-
ing may be disposed to accept it as a
statement of fact. In reality, it is of a
piece with the whole German policy of
deception-including self deception.
For this most democratic parlia-
ment" is only one house of the Ger
man parliament, and if it is democratic,
its influence is largely Offset by that of
the other house. In the reichstag,
which corresponds to our Federal
House of Representatives, members
are chosen by universal suffrage on
the basis of population. That is de-
mocracy. But the upper house, cor
responding to our Senate, is a far diff
ferent body. 1t is composed of fifty
eight members, of which seventeen
come from the kingdom of Prussia.
At its head is the chancellor, the direct
spokesman of the kaiser. Its members
do not represent the people of the
several kingdoms. duchies, principali-
ties and free towns, but the govern

ments, and they must always vote
under instructions. This state OF
things makes the bundcsrat the crea-
ture of the governments and sets at
naught the seeming democracy of the
relchstag.
But this is not all. All the dciega-
tons in the bundesrat must vote as
unit, although the total number of the
votes of each delegation is counted
This naturally gives Prussia an advant-
age which is made positive tyranny by
other sections of the constitution. For
when it comes to military and naval
matters, the Prussian representatives
in the bundesrat have an absolute veto
upon all legislation. If, tomorrow, the
reichstag were to vote for demobiliza-
ton and the majority of the bundesrst
would approve it, the vote of Prussia
alone could continue the war. 1t is
the same with all laws affecting the
Imperial taxes. Prussia can absolutely
control these through the veto. And
to make assurance double sure, the
kaiser has the right to appoint the
