either war or peace by carrying out our
government program and definitely
breaking away from the old system.
1.-The legal question will not stop at
our boundaries, which we viii never
open for violence Of our own accord
The principles upon which we have
agreed as our rule OF conduct also in
volve internal questions Thanks TO the
parties acquiescence in the govern
ment proposals for electoral reforms,
Prussia has now 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 enter the cabinet without
resignlng their seats. There is also a
change in the law regarding the chan
cellOr's representation. Hitherto only
the highest imperial authorities were
able 90 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 ministers.
We are convinced the government and
Parliament thereby may supply pre-
ciOus forces from the people which up
to this time have not been utilized.
Il hope soon TO reveal to the Reich
stag the results Of the preliminary la
bors regarding legal extension Of the
chancellor's political responsibilities,
which will be secured by formation Of
a State tribunal.
"The aim Of myself and my col
lpqQ11es Is nOlfffcal arfhOr for the
German people. The people long have
been under the saddle. Now they are
to ride. Political development at the
end Of September changed everything
guaranteeing continuance Of the growth
Of the new system.
The enemy is at our gates Our
first and last thoughts must be for the
brave defenders, whom we must de-
fend against unjust charges. There are
bad elements in every army. With the
fundamental will Of the people the army
will disown them.
in retrospect the recent political
harvest creates different feelings, some
regarding IL as a reckless descent in the
direction OF the destruction of existing
orders; others believe the times are
uncertain and are cropping for reform
Both opinions should be expressed. Op-
position insures parliamentary indie
pendence."

involves a new government for Alsace

BUILDERS ENGAGED
in NON-ESSENTIALS
Government Work Lags,
While Mechanics Are
in Non. Essentials
MIDDLE WEST CAN
SPARE MANY MEN

While government construction work
is being delayed by shortage Of car
penters and other building-trades crafts
men, private building operations in no
way connected with the prosecution Of
the war are utilizing the services Of
these needed workers.
Many thousand builders, far more
than previous estimates recorded. are
engaged at the present time In unneces-
sary work, forming a vast reserve avail
able for but not now engaged In war
work.
This situation Is revealed in early re-
ports being received by the skilled labor
section Of the United States Employ
ment Service in reply TO a QUESTIONABLE
sent to building trades councils and
builders exchanges in 300 cities In very
few instances, according TO replies thus
FAR, are these workers being used to
anything like fun strength on war
work. In some cities those engaged on
private operations far Outnumber those
/ in war work.
In contrast 10 the dearth OF carpen-
/ tors for army construction plans-Camp
Knox alone being short 6OOO-many cit
les appear to have large numbers under
contract on unnecessary Jobs. To cite
an instance, the report OF one citv re-
vealed more than 1000 carpenters on
non-war work, while only several hun
dred were classed as strictly war work
ers. What applies TO carpenters appIles
In Ike measure 10 other building trades
The greatest stOrehOuse OF workers
in nOn-essential lines is in the Middle
West, the reports show. While the
war industrial belt along the Atlantic
staboard Is very short OF men the Mid
de West, and TO some extent the Far
West and Southwest, appear 20 have
an ample supply available for redis-
| uibutiOn.
/ The questiOnndlfcs gent ont by the
employment service covered The fol
lowing building trades: Bricklayers.
bridge and structural iron workers.
carpenters and jOiners, electrical work
ers, elevator constructors. steam en-
gineers, hod carriers. lathers, metal
workers, painters, decorators and paper
hangers, plasterers and cement finish
ers. plumbers and steamntters, rOOfers.
including composition, slate and tile
The survey was undertaken in order
that war Jobs and workers could be
brought together with the greatest pos
sible dispatch. Completion OF the in
vestigation will reveal many pockets
where labor is available for immediate
call The Emergency Service is tabu-
laling the returns by cities and trades.
A call for help can then be met by
drawing upon any of these cities re-
porting a non-war surplus.
Il is estimated the service, through
the building trades organizations, will
be sble to tabulate more than % per
cent OF the entire building trade Of the
country
The plan for supply help from the
store OF nOn-war workers is already un-
DER way and meeting with success. As
last as demands are made the supply
sources are being tapped by direct call

some pretext involving the safety Of the
Empire, it was pointed out today.
The pow,r Of the Bundesrath must be
curtained, it was declared. This council
is named by the Kaiser and the Kings
Of the various States making up the
German ostederatiOn. Under the pres
ent constitution all bills must either
originate in or be reviewed by the
Bundesrath, which really represents
only the soverlgnest ruling classes Of
the various states.
Germany cannot amend its constitu-
ton, for instance. If IA Of the t5S MEM
bers Of the Bundesrath disappr0ve Of
the proposed amendment. Prussia has
~ votes in the Bundesrath, hence
Prussia can still dictate how far the
characterization Of Germany shall go
and the Kaiser is the King Of Prussia.
Upon the redistricting Of Germany

really is representative Of all the peO-
pie.
The original districts have not been
changed since they were laid out in
1871 Some are 30 times as large as
others so FAR as population is con-
cerned but the large ones have the
same representation they had originally.
Thus the vote Of a iunker landholder
is really thirty times as powerful as
the vote of a man from a large city,

thoughts and actions prepare for both
eventualitles-flrst, that the enemy gov
ernments are eager for war. In that
case, we have no choice but TO assume
a posture Of defense, with the strength
OF people driven to the last extremity
In the event OF such necessity, l have no
doubt the German government, in the
name Of the German people, will issue
call for national defense in the way il
spoke for the people when it took ac-
tion for peace.
I'VE, who honestly took a stand on
the basis OF a peace Of justice. are un-
dertaking this duty OF not submitting
10 a peace OF violence without fight
ing.
Regarding the second possibility, the
German people must not be blindedly
brought to the conference table. They
have right to ask what a peace VIII
son terms will mean for our life in the
future. Our answer to President Wilson
must be framed on the peoples under
standing Of his question. The people
want clearness. Free discussion with
our opponents and not our strength will
decide what we think is right.
THE essense Of President Wilson's
program for a league Of nations can
not be accomplished unless all peoples
have the right Of self determination.
Realization OF community law means
abandonment Of part of that unqualified
independence which hitherto we, with
others. considered an indication Of SOW
ereignty. Should we at home maintain
the national egoism which until re-
Gently dominated our national life, then
there would be no restitution and reno

for generations But II we comprehend
that this frightful war is, over all a
victory for the idea of justice, and sub
NIT to it with no mental reservation,
we will find in It the cure for our pres
ent wounds and reservoir for future

after the war according TO diplomats
here today. Allied military successes
may make this possible earlier.
Information leading TO this cOnclu-

burg will be either:

Duchy. Luxembourg has been held vas
sal by Germany for years because Of
her extensive iron mines which have
fed the Krupp munition factories and
made possible Germany's super-pre-
paredness program.
Misled by a pro-German court, the
people Of Luxembourg have now ap-
pealed TO President Wilson for prOtec-
tion and have demanded that the Ger
man armies evacuate her territory
which was Overrun at the outbreak Of
the war in violation Of a neutrality
treaty.

Luxembourg contains a percentage OF

French is spoken among the educated
classes and dominates the peasant
dialects.
Germany signed treaties years ago

tariffs were exacted on all goods coming

te.a remarkable degree and
this confidence is inspired as
much by his personal ideals
and personal ability as by the
fact he is the head of the ma
ton that turned the tide in the
war.
There is no. question that
the liberal element of all ma
tions desires the attendance of
President Wilson at the peace
conference. There is no Ques-
Ition but that he can accomplish
great good by attending, for
the United States as we'll as the
world. The trip will mean
danger, it will mean the break
ing ofaa precedent. But the
President is not man to fore
/ go a great service because of
personal risk or because a pre-
lcedent may be lacking, He is
a precedent maker himself.
/ People generally are awake
to the possibilities at the peace
conference and they will be
glad to see Americas full
weight exerted in behalf of ar
adjustment along broad lines
in keeping with the ideals fol
which this country fought.
/ 1t is noticeable that able
newspapers, even though they
differ from the President poll
tically generally commend him
for having decided to attend
the conference in person. The
subsidized partisan organs that
carp about the matter would
carp just as loud had he decid-
ed not to go. They speak
purely from partisanship and
are not to be taken seriously.
