Vorwaerts :
"It does not require many words
to explain why almost the whole
world is arrayed njrainst us. 'flic
answer is iven quickly. The whole
world sees among our enemies more
or less developed forms of democ
racy nnd in us it sees only Prus
sians. "Wo have always nnswered by re
ferring to the absolutism of Kussin,
but now cznrisin has none and the
emperor's successor is to accept the
throne only if the representatives of
the people nftreo. These representa
tives arc to be elected on the basis of
universal, . cqunl, direct and sceiet
suffrage.
"In Asia the empire of tlio mnn
darines opposed every reform. They
iluriiis opposed every reform. They
power, as long as he did their will
and thereby undermined the mon
archy and laid the foundations of
a republic. In the Kuropcan central
empire similar spirits seek to build
similar Chinese, walls and binder
every reform. The clock shows five
minutes to twelve. They imagine
they bold up the llinOiwhen they
niovo the bunds back to eleven.
"Why docs the chancellor shrink
hack now from unconditional neces
sity f Always the hesilutor, the
procrnstinntoij, Hethmann-IIollwop;,
wants to be in to cure Prussia after
tlio war. Jtussia also promised nil
reniorms after tho war, but the war
lasted too long for the Russians. Why
postpone till tomorrow what is ab
solutely necessary today, what even
the king himself hns declared was
one of tbo most urgent matters of
the business of tho sfatcf Now is
the time for decisive action. Tho dif
ficulties which might arse if the gov
ernment adopts tlio rcchslug system
of elections for Prussian elections
mo as a featherweight as compared
with the difficulties which will come
if it does i)ot do this. The chancel
lor should not delay oiid day. The
Prussian people, ns well as the other
(terman stales, will stand as one man
by his side if ho acts decisively."

tenant Chortb nnd Machinist Mate
Herman Schroder of the German in
terned crews ut Philudelphiu navy
yard are believed to have been
drowned lust night in an attempt to
escape.
Eight other men who escaped ot
tho same time have been captured by
companies of marines nnd the Phila
delphia police. These nro in addition
to the seven who were reported last
night ns having failed to escape.
Fourteen men were concerned in
the attempt to escape. Officials feel
certain that the dash was known to
the German officers and that the
men, led by Lieutenant Chorth, made
it with the sanction of the comman
ders. Four men were captured while
Attempting to leave their ship. The
crews of the Kronprinz Wilhelm nnd
tho Pritiz Eilbel Friedrich were at
once mustered nnd it was found that
the lieutenant and nine men were
missing. Compnnies of marines were
at once dispatched in pursuit, the
police reserves nnd civil authorities
aiding in the chase. How the eight
taken were found, the preliminary
report did not show and it does not
show what evidence there is to sup
port the supposition that the lieuteu
nut nnd one mnn were drowned.
All (he men interned at Philadel
phia, ore to bo transferred this week
to Forts Mcl'herson and Oglethorp,
Georgia, where they will be kept in
stockades and guarded by troops of

behind to show their occupancy of
the French military barracks. In
some of the rooms Christmas trees,
gaily decorated with the tinsel were
still standing. It was strange to
find in some of the shattered nnd
inrtly burned houses remnants of
ehildrens' toys, including doll car

These toys had been left behind with
nil oilier household belongings when
the French inhabitants first fled be

In some of the finer residences the
libraries had been wrecked, the books
torn to pieces and scattered in 'the

The Germans had left several foot
bridges ncoss the Somme which were
apparently intact, but on, closer ex

had been inserted which gave way at

these bridges too closely, had an icy
