BERLIN. May 2a.-with the Reich
stag elections only fortnight of tho
campaign has grown more active.
Numerous political rallies arc held
nightly throughout the country. but
despite. these efforts to stir up tho
electorate It Is not believed tho popu-
lar vote will reach the dimensions of
that IN Januery. 1919, wher the Ma
tienal Assembly was elected.
The various parties issued today 40
called national lists which contain
names OF many persons ALREADY candi-
dates on district lists. The Majority
1octalist national list includes Min
ists1 Ychlicke Robtschmidt, ex-Min-
!ster-Prssident Gradnauer Of Saxony.
and Friederich St&mpfsr, the leading
editor Of "Vorw&erts."
The list Of che German Democrats
includes Senator Peterson, national
chairman Of the party; Minister Ges-
sler. Count Won BernstorK. Admiral
von Troppel, former Governor Of
Kiaocheu, and Walter Nernst, the IA
nous electrician. =
The sc; oermsn Peoples party i. headed
BY Herr Stresemann, and includes
Hugo SHINES, one Of the most power
fpl coal and iron magnates Of the Ruhr
region who has become the create at
owner Of newspapers in Germany. He
has bought sixty -four publications, be-
sides half dozen pulp mills with
which to produce white paper.
The Nationalist, or old Junker.
party has placed former Minister Del
brueek and General Won Gallwitz on
ats list. The. general trend among
voters Is already seen to be 80 strong
against tho existing government that
doubts are raised whether q coalition
with the left will be strong enough to
govern.
The Majority Socialists are losing
heavily 20 the independents and the
Democrats to the Stresemann party.
Tho Catholic party will be able to hold
Its voters better. but even it is en-
ceuntering decisive tendencies toward
party division, a. o new Catholic party
has just been formed at Cologne and
has established its own newspapers.
The Bsvarian Catholics are also going
their own WY. The party probably
will be faced with an Erzberger prob
lem in tho new Reiehstag.

Wilson's Decision
Regarding Armenia

PARIS, May 28.--Ambassador Wal
iace's announcement yesterday to the
Council Of Ambassadors that President
Wilson is willing to unde rtake the
definition Of Armenian boundaries came
as pleasant surprise to,the Entente
representatives here, who had begun to
despair Of American participation in
any way IN European affairs.
The fact that America il willing to
tremely pleasing to the ambassad ors.
because the burden Of responsibility in
the Near East falls heavily upon the
Entente. The French, whose interests
are not always those Of the British and
the Italians, particularly welcome the
Intervention of disintere sted power.
even though that power assumes only a
moral responsibility.
President Wilson's decision appears
likely to affect the British policy in
both the British and the Bolshev;k; ere
acquiring too much influence to satisfy
the French.
See Greater U. 8. Participation
Aside from its local Importance, the
decision raises the question as to
whether America intends to broaden
her influence and play q large part in
European organization. The French do
not expect American cooperation on a
grand scale until after the November
elections, but they hope the United
States ultimately will find that it can
not remain aloof and that the accept
ance Of Armenian responsibility means
return to the attitude assumed early
NSn the days of the peace negotiations
Since the Fiume conference In Decem-
Der America has remained silent as

Profoundly important questions will
be decided at Spa and during the pre-
liminary meeting of the Supreme
Council before the meeting there. The
Fiume and Armenian settlements must
come. before the council meeting for
ratification. 1t is anticipated, however,
that President Wilson's plan will be
presented ct Ostend, where the Allied
leaders will decide what measures are
necessary to take to enforce it,
