The German war cabinet con sidered President Wilson's reply at a lengthy session yesterday, according to the Frankfort Zeitung. It was decided not to answer at the present time, but to wait until it is learned what the entente's armistice conditions may be. LONDON. Oct. 25. President "Wil son's note was received in Berlin in the course of Thursday's sitting; of the Reichstag, which immediately ad tourned. according to an Exchange TeleeraDh dispatch from Copenhagen. Discussion of'the note was taken up In sectional meetings or the Keicnstag members. PARIS. Oct. 15. An enormous crowd assembled before the Reichstag build ing in Berlin yesterday, calling for the abdication of Kmperor William and the formation of a republic, according to a special dispatch from Zurich to L'ln Xormation. Llebkaecat Addresses Crowd. rr. Karl Liebknerht. the Socialist leader, who has Just been released from prison, was applauded frantically. He was compelled to enter a carriage filled with flowers, from which he made a epeech declaring that the time of th. people had arrived. BASE! SwHtierland, Oct. Z5. (Hi vis. ) When the lower house of the Prussian Diet resumed its session in Berlin Thursday, Count Schwerin. the President, called upon the deputies to make a united front against the ene miej of the country. Grave Hear Seaadrd. He said that never before had the Chamber -assembled at such a grave hour with the enemy threatening to strike down the doors of the country. WASHINGTON". Oct. 25. Emboldened by the German government's acceptance of the principles or eeit-aetermination laid down by President Wilson, the delegates in the Reichstag from non German nationalities have begun to clamor for independence. Sensational scenes in the Reichstag Wednesday, with the separatists assert ing themselves defiantly, were described In dispatches received here today based on advices from Berlin. Representing the Poles of Prussia, Deputy Stychel claimed the right of independence, declaring the time had come to put aside the favorite German formula, "every ground-where the Gcr man stake was struck is German ground." President Wilson, he eald. was hu inanity's benefactor and was moved by the strongest feeling of justice which lies in men's hearts. German Poland he added, had been brutally adminis tered and the Poles had not been per mitted to become the equals of other citizens. Daie Hakes Desaaad. This unusual language In the once subservient German Reichstag waa Im mediately followed by indications of a Danish separatist movement. Dele gate Hasen, in the name of the Danish population and of right and justice, de manded the execution of the Prague treaty, which promised the people of Schleswig a plebiscite to permit them to decide whether they would remain with Germany or return to their for mer Danish allegiance. The delegate Ricklin. representing Alsace-Lorraine, created the greatest sensation by pointing out that accep tance by the German government of President Wilson's 14 terms made the future of Alsace-Lorraine an interna tional question.- He gave warning that the proposed autonomy was now in sufficient, meaning that nothing short of Independence or return of the prov inces to France would meet the case.

INSTALLMENT XIIL Such was the German state philoso phy as applied to the Armenians, and I had the opportunity of observing Ger man practice as well. As soon aa the early reports reached Constantinople, it occurred to me that the most feasible way of stopping the outrages would be for tbe diplomatic representatives of all countries to make a joint appeal to the Ottoman government. I approached Wangenheim, the German Ambassador, on this subject in the latter part of March. His antipathy to the Armenians became immediately apparent. He be gan denouncing them in unmeasured terms; like Talaat and Enver, Re al fected to regard the Van episode as an unprovoked rebellion, and. in his eyes, as in theirs, the Armenians were sim ply traitorous vermin. 'I will help the Zionists, he said thinking that this remark would be personally pleasing to me, "but 1 shall do nothing whatever for the Arme nlans." Wangenhelm affected to regard the Armenian ' question as a matter that chiefly affected the United States. My constant intercession in their behalf apparently created the Impression, in his Germanic mind, that any mercy shown this people would be a conces sion to the American Government. And at that moment he was not disposed to do anything that would please the American people. I'. S. Blamed for Troable. "The United States is apparently the only country that takes much interest In the Armenians, he said. Tour mis sionaries are their friends and your people have constituted themselves their guardians. The whole question of helping them is therefore an American matter. How. then, can you expect me to do anything as long as the United States Is selling ammunition to the enemies of Germany? Mr. Bryan has just published hia note, saying that it would be unneutral not to sell muni tions to England and France. As long as your Government maintains that at titude we can do nothing lor the Ar menians." Probably no one except a German logician would ever have detected any relation between our sale of war mate rials to the allies and Turkey's attacks upon hundreds of thousands of Arme nian women and children. But that was about as much progress as I made with Wangenheim at that time. I spoke to him frequently, but ho invariably off set my pleas for mercy to the Arme nians by reference to the use of Amer ican shells at the Dardanelles. A cool ness sprang up between us soon after ward. After our somewhat tart con versation over the telephone, when he had asked me to telegraph Washington that he bad not "hetzed" the Turks in this matter, our visits to each other ceased for several weeks. Cieranaa Criticises Ciermaay. There, were certain" influential Ger mans in Constantinople who did not accept Wangenheim'a point of view. I have already referred to Taul Welti, for SO years correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung, . who probably knew more about affairs in the Near East than any other German. Although Wangenheim constantly looked to Weits for information, he did not. al ways take his advice. Weitz did not"ac cept the orthodox Imperial attitude to ward Armenia, for he believed that Germany's refusal effectively to inter vene was doing his fatherland everlast ing injury. Welts was constantly pre senting this view to Wangenheim, but hs made little progress. Weits told me about this himself in January, 1916, a few weeks before I left Turkey. I quote his own words on this subject: "I remember that you told me at the beginning." said Welti, "what a mis take Germany was making in the Ar menian matters. I agreed with you perfectly. But when 1 urged this view upon Wangenheim, he threw me twice out of the room." Another German who was opposed to the atrocities was Neurath, the Con- seiller of the German Embassy. His ndlgnatlon reached such a point that his language to Talaat and Enver be came almost undiplomatic. He told me, however, that be had failed to influ ence them. Turks Are Immovable. "They are immovable and are deter mined to pursue their present course," Neti rath said. Of course no Germans could make much impression on the Turkish gov ernment as long as the German Am bassador refused to interfere. And. as time went on, it became more and more evident that Wangenheim had no de sire to stop the deportations. He ap parently wished, however, to re-estab lish friendly relations with ma, and soon sent third parties to ask why I never came to see him. A few days afterward, when he returned a visit, h.s aoked: -wnerea Kitcnnera armyy- We are willing to surrender Belgium now." he went on. "Germany intends to build an enormous fleet of sub marines with great cruising radius. In the next war we shall therefore be able completely to blockade England. So we do not need Belgium for its sub marine bases. We shall give her back to the Belgians, taking the Congo in exchange." I then made another plea in behalf of the persecuted Christians. Again we discussed this subject at length. "The Armenians," said Wangenheim, "have shown themselves in this war to be enemies of the Turks. It is quite apparent that the two peoples can never live together in the eame coun try ."- Protest Made to Skadow. Again, although I spoke with un usual earnestness, the Ambassador re fused to help the Armenians. Still, on July 4, Wangenheim did pre sent a formal note of protest. He did not talk to Talaat or Enver, the only men who had any authority, but to the Grand Vixier, who was merely shadow. Probably the hypocrisy of this protest was more apparent to me than to others, for, at the very moment when Wangenheim presented this so-called protest, he was giving me the reasons why Germany could not take really ef fective steps to end the massacres. Soon after this interview, Wangenheim received his leave anal went to Ger many. Callous as Wangenheim showed him self to be, he was not quite so implaca ble toward the Armenians as the Ger man naval attache in Constantinople, Humann. This person was generally regarded as a man of great influence; his position in Constantinople corre sponded to that of Boy-ed in the United States. Ji. German diplomat told me that Humann was more of a Turk than Enver or Talaat. Despite his reputa tion I attempted to enlist his influ ence. I appealed to him particularly because he was a friend of Enver, and was generally looked upon as an im portant connecting link between the German embassy and the Turkish mill tary authorities. Humann was a per sonal emissary of the Kaiser's, in con stant communication with Berlin, and undoubtedly he reflected the attitude of the ruling powers in Germany. He discussed the Armenian problem with the utmost frankness and brutality. Weaker Mast Go. Says Has. T have lived in Turkey the larger part of my life," ho told me, "and I know the Armenians. I also know that both Armenians and Turks cannot live together in this country. One of these races has got to go. And I don't blame the Turks for what they are do ing fo the Armenians. I think they are entirely Justified. Tbe weaker nation must succumb. The Armenians desire to dismember Turkey; they are against the Turks and the Germans in this war, and they therefore have no right to exist here. I also think that Wangenheim went altogether too far in making a protest; at least I would not have done this." I expressed my-horror at such senti ments, but Humann went on abusing he Armenian people and absolving the Turks from all blame. "It Is a matter of safety," he replied; the Turks have got to protect them selves, and, from this point 6f view, they are entirely Justified in what they are doing. Why. we found 7000 guns at Kadikeuy which belong to the Ar menians. At first Enver wanted to treat the Armenians with the utmost moderation and four months ago he in sisted that they be given another op portunity to demonstrate their loyalty. But after what they did at Van, he had to yield to the Army, who had been In sisting all along that they should pro tect their rear. The committee decided upon the deportations and Enver re luctantly agreed. Deportation Is Jastlfied. All Armenians are working for the destruction of Turkey's power and the only thing to do is to deport them. Enver ia really a very kind-hearted man; he is incapable personally of hurting a fly! But when it comes to defending an idea in which he believes. he will do it fearlessly and recklessly. Moreover, the young Turks have to get rid of the Armenians merely as a mat ter of self -protection. The committee Is strong only in Constantinople and a few other large cities. Everywhere else the people are strongly 'old Turk.' And these old Turks are all fanatics. These old Turks are not in favor of the present government." Humann was not the only Important German who expressed this latter sen timent. Intimations began to reach me from many sources that my "meddling" In behalf of the Armenians was mak ing me more and more unpopular In German officialdom. One day in Octo ber, Neurath, the German Conseiller, called and showed roe a telegram which he had just received from the German Foreign Office. This contained the in formation that Lord Crew and Lord Cromer had spoken on the Armenians In the House of Lords, had laid the re sponsibility for the massacres upon the Germans, and had; declared that they had received their information from an American witness. Denial Is Not Obtained. , The telegram also referred to an ar ticle in the Westminster Gazette, which said that the German Consuls at certain places had Instigated and sven led the attacks, and particularly mentioned Realer of Aleppo. Neurath said that his government had directed him to ob tain a denial of these charges from tbeJ American Ambassador at Constantino ple. I refused to make such a denial, saying that I did not feel called upon to decide officially whether Turkey or Germany was to blame for these crimes. (To Be Continued.)
