Berlin, Monday. May 12.-(By the
Associated Press) Chancellor
Scheidemann. in his speech before the
national assembly here today, said
that the occasion was the turning
point in the life of the German peo-
pie, as the assembly was to decide
the attitude toward what our adver-
saries call peace conditions"
''The representatives Of the nation" !"
he continued. meet here as the last
band Of the faithful assemblies when
the fatherland is in the greatest dan
ger. All have appeared except the
representatives of Alsace-Lorraine,
who have been deprived of the right
to be represented here just as you
are to be deprived Of the right to ex-
ercise in free vote the right of SELF
determination.
And I see among you the repre-
sentatives of all the German races
and lands, the chosen representatives
of the Rhineland. the Sarre, East
Prussia. West Prussia. Posen, Silesia,
Danzig and Memel Together with
the deputies of the unmenaced re-
gions, l see the deputies of the mem
aced provinces, who. if the will of
our enemies becomes law. are to meet
for the last time as Germans amongst
Germans.
II know 1 am one " heart. with
you in the gravity and sancitity of
this hour which should be ruled by
only one idea-that we belong to one
another and must stand by one anoth-
er and that we are one flesh and one
blood and that whoever tries. to sever
us is driving q murderous, knife into
the living body Of the German peo-
pie. -
ITO keep our nation alive-that and
nothing else-is our duty. We. are
pursuing no nationalistic dreams. No
questions of prestige and no thirst for
power have a part in our delibera-
tions. Bare life is what we must
have for our land and nation today
while everybody feels throttling
hand at his throat.
"Let me speak without tactical con-
siderations. The thing which is at
the basis Of our discussion is this
thick volume in which 100 sentences
begin Germany renounces.' This
dreadful and murderous volume by
which confession our own unworthi-
ness, our consent to pitiless disrup-
ton. our agreement to helotry and
slavery are to be extorted-this book
must not become the future code of
law.

Initiative Petitions -
Especial to the Herald.)

Bismarck, N. D., May 13.-Reply-
Ing to Governor F'razier's assurance
that the latter knew what he was do
ing when he set the date for North
Dakota's referendum election for
June 26, but 26 days after the time
for the filing of referendum petitions
elapses, while the constitution and
statutes would appear to require
thirty days warning, Secretary of
State Hall today addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the chief executive:
"Your letter dated May 10 in
answer to my letter with reference to
the duties Of this department in CIV
ing notice of elections was handed me
this morning by your stenographer.
You state that you find no problems
to solve in the matter brought to
your attention; that, of course, is un-
fortunate, and I am sorry. i assure
you that there are several problems
to be solved, If the election day is
finally set for June 26.
"You state that IF there must be
added to the ninety days within
which referendum petition may be
filed further period of thirty days
for certifying and sending blanks to
the county auditors, and a further
period of from five to ten days for
preparing the necessary blanks, the
result is clearly notification Of the
erendum election shall be held at any
time within 100 to 130 days after the
adjournment of the legislature
II advise you that there is no pro-
vision in the election laws giving a
period Of five to ten days for prepar-
ing the blanks and certificates. A
short period between the last day for
filing and the day for sending out
certificates is, of course, highly desir-
able, as under present provisions it is
impossible for the secretary of state
to follow the letter of the law on all
occasions.
I'm the special congressional cleo
tion in the First district, Mr.. Aaker's
petition was mailed at Fargo on Sun
day, June 10. and not received in this
office until after the 30-day limit had
expired. Because the secretary of
state was unable to perform the
physically impossible does not make
the law dead letter, as some of your
apolpgists would have us believe.

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
Additional Rulings on Reinstatement
OF Government Insurance Pro-
vides More Liberal Con-
ditiOnS
Insurance Premium List and Proper
Blanks Can be Secured from
Miss Karen Brandt, Secre-
tary, in DEBORAH State
Bank Building

A series of decisions issued by the
Director of the Bureau War Risk
Insurance with the approval Of the
Secretary of the Treasury provides
more liberal conditions for reinstate-
ment of lapse or Cancelled insur-
ance.
The provisions of Treasury De-
cision No. At, allowing eighteen
months from the date of discharge
for reinstatement upon payment Of
only two months premiums on the
amount of insurance to be reinstat-
ed, are retained. That decision is
liberalized, however, by a new pre-
vision that men out of the service
are permitted to reinstate by merely
paying two months premium with
out making statement as to health
at any time within three calendar
months following the month Of dis
charge.
After the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed,
a statement from the applicant to
the effect that he is in as good health
as at the date of discharge or at
the expiration of the grace period,
whichever is the later date, will be
required together with a written ap-
plication for reinstatement and the
tender of two months premium on
the amount Of insurance he wishes
to reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed Or
been Cancelled, fair chance to re-
instate their Insurance., including
men who have been out of the SER
vice eighteen months or more, and
who are therefore barred from REIN
statement under the former ruling,
a special blanket ruling is made
which allows all eX-service men ID
reinstate their insurance before Dec.
81, 1919, provided that each appli-
