KAISER’S ADDRESS TO ARMY PROVES MAX’S PLEA INSINCERE
TEAT OF GHANGELLOR'S
- AODRESS TO REIGHSTAG
The text of the address of Prince |
Maximilian of Baden, the new ]m;wr';'n'
Chancellor of Germany, giving his peace |
policy to the Reichstag Saturday, ful-'
lows:
In accordance with the imperial de
eree of September 30, the Cerman em
pire has undergone a basic alteration
of its political leadership.
Asg successor to Count George F. von
Hertling, whose services in hehalf of
the fatheriand deserve the highest ac
knowledgment, 1 have been summoned
by the Emperor to lead the new Gov- |
ernment, l
In accordance with the Govern
mental method now introduced, 1 sub
mit to the Reichstag, publicly and
without delay, the principles upon
which I propose to conduct the grave
responsibilities of the office
These principles were firmly estab-
Hshed by the agreement of the feder
ated governments and the leaders of
the majority parties In this honorable
house before 1 decided to assume the
duties of Chancellor, They contain,
therefore, not onl{ my own confession
of political faith, but that of an over
whelming portion of the Cerman peo
gtrn' representatives that is of the |
erman nation, which has constituted
the Reichstag on the basis of a gener
al, equal and secret franchige and ac
rordlni to their will, Only the fact |
that T know the convietion and will of |
the majority of the people are back of ,
me. has given me strength to take
upon myself conduct of the emphe's |
affairs in this hard and earnest time
in which we are living.
Calls People Into Councll,
One man's shoulders would be too
weak to carry alone the tremendous !
rasponsibility which falls upon the |
Government at present. Only If the '
:ople take active part in the broadest
nse of the word, in deciding their ‘
destinies; in other words, If responsi
bility also extends to the majority of |
thelr freely elected political leaders, |
ecan the leading statesman confidently
assume hig part of the responsibility
In the service of folk and fatherland. '
My resolve to do this has been espe- |
eially lightened for me by the fact that |
rominent leaders of the labor class |
filve found a way in the new govern
ment to the highest offices of the em
g‘m. 1 see therein a sure guarantee
at the new government will be sup
rted by the firm confidence of the
ggm\d masses of the people, without
whose true support the whole under
takine would be condemned a fallure |
in advance. Hence, what | say today
1 say it not bnly in my name and
those of myv official helpers, but in the
name of the German people.
: The program of the majority par
~ ties upon which I take my stand con
~ tains, first, an acceptance of the an
swer of the former imperiol Govern
ment to Pope Benedict's note of Au
gust 1, 1916, and an unconditional
accentance of the Reichstag resolution
of July 19, the same year. Itsfurther
rmlnres willingness to join a general
eague of nations based upon the
foundation of equal rights for all, both
strong and weak.
It considers this solution of the Bel
glan question to lie in the complete
rehahilitation (wwderhflrstemng) of
2lfium, X:rucululy of its indepen
nee an territorial integrity., An
effort shall also be made to reach an
understanding on the question of in
~ demnity.
; As to Russian Provinces.
; The program will not permit the
ce treaties hitherto concluded to
n.u hindrance to the conclusion of a
general peace.
Its particular aim is that popular
presentative bhodies shall be formed
mediately on a broad basis in the
Itic Provinces in Lithunia and Po
nd. We will promote the realiza
of necessary nrcflfllmlnnrg con
tions therefor without delay by the
gtmdue(lnn of civillan rule. All these
nds shall regulate thelr constitu
tions and their relations with nelgh
‘?ofln[ peoples without external in
erference.
In the matter of International pol
-1 have taken a clear stand
rough the manner In which the
ation of the Government was
ught about. Upon my motlon,
~ Jeaders of the majority parties were
- summoned for direct advice. It was
my conviction, dxemh-mvn. that unity
. of imperial leadership should be as
sured not only through mere ochis
matic party alleginnce by the differ
- ent members of the Government, 1
consldered nlmost still more important
the unity of ideas. [ proceeded from
this viewpoint and have, In ‘making
my selections, lald greatest welght on
g‘o fact that the members of the new
‘ perial Government stand on a hasis
~ of a just peace of justice, regardless
afise war situation. and that they
3 ve openly declared this to be thelr
standpoint at the time when we stood
~ At the helght of our mMfitary sue
cesses,
I am convinced that the manner in
Wwhich the imnerial leadership is now
. eonstituted with co-operation of the
fchstag is not something enheme
: , and that .when peace comes A
. ernment can not agnin be formed
. which does not find support in the
~ Relchstag and does not draw its lead
. ers therefrom.

the old multifarious and disrupted
party life which made It so difficult
to put jnto execution a uniform and
dvr-tyivo-J\;m:mv:n wigh, The forma
tion of a majority means the forma
tion of a political will, and an indis
putable result of the war has been
that in Germany, for the first time
great parties have joined together in
a firm, harmonious program, and have
thus come into position to determine
for themaelves the fate of the people,
This thought will never die. This
development will never be retracted
a(pplause) and I trust that so long as
Germany's fate is ringed about by
dangers those sections of the people
outside the majority parties and
whose representatives do not helon
to the Government will put aside Rfi
that separates us and will glve the
Fatherland what s the Fatherland's.
This development necessitates an
alteration of our Constitution's provi
glons along the lines of the imperial
decree of September 20, which shall
make it possible that those members
of the Reichstag who entered the
Government will retain their seats in
the Reichstag. A bill to this end has
been submitted to the Federal States
and will Immediately be made the ob-
J~l~l'l of their consideration and deci
sion
Gientlemen. let us remember words
spoken by the emperor on August 4,
1914, which 1 permitted myself to
paraphrase last December at Karls
ruhe: “T'here are, in fact, parties, but
they are all German parties.’” {Ap
plause )
Politieal developments in Prussia,
the principal German Federal State,
must proceed in the spirit of these
words of the Emperor, and the mes
sace of the King of Prussia promising
the democratic franchise must be ful
filled f‘l“'k'\ and completely, (Ap
plause )* 1 do not 4luvl‘:', also, that
thase Federal States which etill lag
belind in the development of *heir
constitutional eonditions will resolute
ly follow Prussia's example. (Ap
plause,)
“A New Epoch.”
For the present as the exampla of
all belligerent States demonstrates, the
extraordinary powers which a condi
tion of siege compels can not be dis
pensed with, out close relations be
tween the military and ecivilllan au
thorities must be established which
will make it possible that in all not
purely military questions, and hence
especially as to censorship and right
of assemblage, the attitude of the
civilian executive authorities shall
make itself heard and that final de
clgion shall ba placed under the Chan
cellor's responsibility lAmvlnuae.{
To this end, the order of the Bm
peror will be sent to the military
commanders. With September 30, the
day of tne decree began a new epoch
in Germany's internal history. The
Internal policy whose basic prin
ciples are therein lakl down is of de
ciding importance of the question of
peace or war,
The striking force which the Gov
ernment has in its strivings for peace
depends on whether ¥t has behind it
the united, Arm and unshakable will
of the people. Only when our enemies
feel that the German people stand
united hack of their chosen leaders--
then only ean words become deeds,
(Applause )
At the peace negotiations the Ger
man Government will use its efforts to
the end that treaties shall contain
provisions concerning the protection
of labor and insurance of laborers,
which provisions shall oblige the
treaty-making States to institute in
thelr respective lands within a pre
seribed time a minimum of similar, or
at least equally, vmr-lnnt institutions
for the security of lifé and health as
for the care of laborers in the case of
inesa, aceident or Invalidiam,
Of daect importance are the con
clusions which the Government in the
brief span of its existence has been
able to draw from the situatiog in
which it finds itself and to apply &c
--tically to the situation.
More than four years of bloodiest
strucgle against a world of numeri
cally superior enemies are behind us,
vears full of the hardest battles and
most painful sacrifices. Nevertheless,
we are of strong heart and full of con
fident falth in our s(renrth, resolved
to bear still heavier sacrifices for our
honor and freedom and for the hap
piness of our posterity, if it can not
be otherwise. (Applause.)
We remember with deep and warm
ratitude our bhrave troops who, un
-5" splendid ""“""""'t‘,' have accom
plshed almost superhuman deeds
throughout the whole war and whose
past deeds are a sure guarantee that
the fate of us all will alse In future
he In good and dependable hands In
their keeping. For months a contin
uous, terrible and murderous battle
has heen raging In the west, Thanks
to the incomparahble heroism of our
army, which will live as an Immor
tal, glorious paged history of the Ger
man people Jur all times, the front is
unbroken.
This proud eonsclousness permits us
to look to the future with confidence.
But just because we are inspired by
this feeling and the conviction that
it is also our duty to make certain
that the hloody strugsle he not pro
tracted for a single day bevond the
moment when a close of the war
seems possible to us which does not
affect our honor, 1 have, therefore,
not waited unti! fndn_v to take a step
to further the idea of peace.
Peace Note to Wilson,
Supported by the consent of all duly
authorized persons in the empire, and
by the consent of all our allles acting
in concert with us, 1 sent on the nl%ht
of October 4.5, through the media

more to offer peace” to the ‘enemy.
Right at the outsei the German ruler
emphasized that he would ask “only
an honorable peace.,” In other words,
officials explained, a German-made
peace. And that is something which
the United Staies has insisted and
continues to insist it never will con
sent to,
This war can not be ended by bar
ter or compromise, officials say
Nelther can a peace conference be
permitted while Germany holds the
fruits of victory. Her armies are in
force on devastated Russia; they hold
robbed Roumania, they retain their
death grip on Northern France, Bel
\k:l!lrn and Luxemburg
And while the new Imperial Chan
cellor, Prince Maximilian, of Baden
tells the Reichstag that he has ac
cepted on behalf of Germany the
peace princtples outlined by President
Wilson “as a basis for ‘nmegotiation”
only, the Kaiser himself rattles the
sword, praises the army and declafes
the fighting will go on until peace on
his terms is reached,
Officials generally believe that the
President will take occasion to make
it plain just how the Central Powers
can get peace. It is entirely possible
rthxt he will point to the convoecation
that eliminated Bulgaria from the
war as a model. Then, again, he may
simply repeat his original declarations
Hhul a peace can not be considered
until the principles of restoration and
| restitution have been accepted by the
enemy.
| It was very plain everywhere that
‘oflh','m]s believed only one answer was
‘p()HH”u!r- flat refusal. And all pri
vate discussion was on the assump
itl(m that this will be done.
[ From the purs-l.v. military stand
‘polnt, accoplan('e of the proposals at
‘the present time without guarantees
}fnr the future would be of the great
est benefit to the snemy. At every
point on the western front the Ger
‘mans are retreating before the victo
rious American, British, French and
Belgian armies. ' They are sorely
pressed everywhere. Th®r reserves
are exhausted and their supplies very
‘short. At home the German people
"aro panic-stricken for th> first time,
realizing at last that there is a real
'nnssihlli(y that their vaunted mili
tary machine can not prevent an in
vasion of German soil.
Great Retreat Imminent.
In the immediate future, if the
fiehting continues, the Germans must
retreat on a wide scale, surrendering
miles” upon miles of captured terri
tory which, if they are allowed to re
tain it by an armistice, would give
them unwarranted material for bar
gaining purposes. And while envoys
were discussing peace terms the Ger
man high command would be able to
refit the army, get another supply of
munitions, etc, and be ready to goon
with the fighting if it was found that
the Allies did not want a made-in-
Germany peace,
That is the all-compelling reason
why every official here in Washing-
Itnn believed today that the President
' will not accept any suggestion that
he arrange for an armistice in Europe
and for the sending of plenipoten
tigries to The Hague to talk peace.
To end the war now, officlals say,
would be to rob tne Allles—including
the peerless army of General Persh
ing-—of the fruits of+a well-earned
victory.

now live in Cleveland, Ohio.
. Women, wounded soldiers and most ,
of the 1,500 members of the men's
teams Monday were at work early to
round up more Liberty bond sub
scriptions. The campaign was one
third gone; the subscriptions had
reached only $5,000,000, and there was
$9,000,000 to be obtained-—and every
canvasser knows that the first third
is the easiest. It upprzuwl that noth
ing could put Atlanta over the top
except hard and insistent work by
the canvassers, and a universal un
| derstanding that every man and
;
'wuman must invest in bonds, not
' what can easily be spared, but every
cent that can be saved by self-denial.
The women were planning to be
especially active this week, which had
originally been set aside as their own
campaign period, They had made
their ararngements tor canvassing
this week, have no other engage
ments, and began hard work Monday.
l'l‘hvn' booths were open all over the
business part of the city and it was
ld flicult for any man to go anywhere
without being invited to buy a bond.
Mrs. T. T. Stevens, the woman's
chairman, announced that every office

called on by women, no matter

or not,

Trains Get Results,
The tour of the two Liberty Loan
war exhibit trains has been a tre
mendons success so far, according to
W. E. Harrington, chairman, who has
returned from a trip with Train No. 1
through points on the east coast of
i Florida
“They buried the soldiers beneath
[ flowers and coconnuts and oranges,”
said Mv., Harrington. “Crowds which
were five times the size of the towns'
population greeted the trains. The
bend sales” were big. The total for
both trains in the first week was
about $2.500,000 The work of the
woman's orsanization, which helped

would mean a retirement of a total
depth of twenty miles from the old
German lines at some points.) i
Air observers report enemy nreo-i
dromes boing dismantled and mm'edr‘
north of the Aisne. Batteries of big
German guns are being moved north-r;
ward. Villages are burning and am- |
munitien dumps are being blown up!
behind the German front.
Advance Four Miles,
American troops fighting with
General Gouraud’s army on the
Champagne front have advanced
nearly 4 miles, capturing nearly 2,000 |
prisoners and ‘many guns and taking
the Champ-de-Wagran series of
heights batween Mont Blanc and Me
deah farm, .
(Americans have been attacking on
the Champagne front since Thursday
morning, the initial attack being de-‘
livered astride the Somme-Py-Attigny
highway. After the initial drive
northward the Americans swung to |
the west.)
The big gain of the Americans in
this sector has compelled the Ger
mans to withdraw from the Rhermsi
salient,
(The Germans are now over 8 miles
north of Rheims and have been driv
en back from the territory from
which they bombarded the city for
four years.) !
Evacuation of the Rheims salient—
a bulge similar to that which formerly
existed on the German front between
Armentieres and Lens—was necessi
tated by the need of shortening the
line to give a denser man power ‘per
kilcmeter,
The Germans also felt the need of
heavier masging of artillery and ma
chine guns on the rearward positions
that had been selected for a stand.
Only Two Defense Lines.
Although during the past fouF years
the Germans constructed numerous
defense lines along the hitherto main
battle fronts between the North Sea
and the Charapagne district, quietude
on other parts of the front, except for
the German Crown Prince's Verdun
offensive, resuited in the neglect of
positions there. Accordingly, only
two prepared lines of enemy defenses
stand as a barrier to the American
‘advance between the Argonne forest
‘and the Meuse River, and already
one of them—the Kriemhilde—has
beer: reached.
The next chain of German defen
sive works follows the Meuse River
throvgh Stenay, converging on the
Mctz line, This defensive zone pivots
on Lille at the upper extremity.
Owing to the unpreparedness of the
Lterrai,n behind “his front, Ludendorff
is contesting every inch of the Amer
!loan advance stubbornly and the
i(‘r(-wn Prince and Von 3allwitz are
under orders to retain their positions
duspite losses. ILudendortf is pre
ferring to throw in his best divisions
‘and sacrifice thousands rather than
‘take the chance of the Americans
breaking through northward, cutting
‘the main-line arteries with the fa<
therland.
t #‘hfl German losses have heen ter
'rifle since July 18, especially among
the “storm troops.” Despite the heavy
' toll taken by the Allies, Ludendorff is
| daily hurling fresh divisions frqm his
' dwindling reserves into the struggle.
t A detachment of American and
French volunteers ‘*oday stormed
\powerful German machine gun nests
iwmt of Mont Blane, capturing 300
| Germans, half a dozen officers, 76
fmaohlnn guns, numerousg trench mor
tars, many rounds of shells, motor
trucks and an ammunition dump,
Not One Casualty.
The Alljed force did not sustain a
sirgle casualty. For their exploit the
| volunteers are all to be decorated
with the Croix de Guerre by General
Gouraud.
German resistance has heen broken
on a front of 28 miles north of Rheims
and in Champagne. Ground which
(the Germans have been fortifying
since 1914 is falling into the hands of
the French and Americans.
Correspondents entered Rheims
early this morning as soon as news
was received that the capture of the
Champ-de-Wagram hills had com
pelled Von Mudram's German army
to withdraw from the forts of Bri
mont, Witry and Nogent Abhbesse,
Formerly German batteries had been
lf-m'»!oyvd there to cover the city.
The roads entering Rheims were
still clogged with entanglements and
there was not a person to be seen in
the city, which the Germans had con
tinually deluged with gas «hells,

was recovering rapidly.

A PR indition &
Fire of mysterious origin—thought
possibly to have been the result of
an incendiary bomb—badly burned
early Monday two sections of the big
Jjoint freight terminals of the Western
and Atlantic and Seaboard Air Line
Railroads at the foot of Spring street
and caused an estimated damage of
$15,000 to the structure and the sup
ply of freight it housed. The damage
was confined to the W, & A. sections
of the storage sheds.
Soldiers’' uniforms, coffee and other
valuable supplies were destroyed, or
bacly damaged by fire, water and
smoke.
An investigation immediately was
put under way to determine the cause
of the fire, which was discovered
shortly before 4 o'clock by J. W. Bia
lock, a night watchman mn the raii
road yards. Blalock reported that
ke was attracted by what appeared
to him to be a muffled sound in the
depot, and that a few moments iater
flames shot out through the roof. The
roof was fireproof, and the circum
stances of the fire, dissipated any
theory that it might have been caused
by a spark from an engime of other
outside source, .
Immediately on the appearance’ of
the flames, a general alarm, that
arcused people in all sections of the
city, was sounded by the blowing of
engine whistlies in the raiiroad yards
The fire denartment quickly was on
the scene, and, after a hard fight,
managed to confine the hlaze to the
two sections of the W. & A. station.
