PRUSSIAN BALLOT

WILL BE PURGED, DECLARES HALE Correspondent at Berlin, Former' Richmond Man, Writes of' Cnsis: ' Editorial Note' William Bayard Hale is a former Richmond man.-' His brother Alton Hale.-still lives here. 0 WILLIAM "BAYARD HALE (Correspondent at Berlin who returned to the United States last week.) 5 wonder how accurately the recent . itieal crisis In Germany- crisis not yet past-has been reported in the United States. - Jt -was -provoked by the demand of Erzberger, leader of the Centrum (the Catholic) party, in -the Reichstag, July 6,' that the government reaffirm in definite terms the declaration -of August 4, 19J4, that Germany was fighting a defensive war. ' ! - ' Bethmann-Hollweg had never been able to frame his lips to pronounce the clear' word, No annexations,' no Indemnities."- jhe Centrums, -the National Liberals and the Socialists are practically a unit behind the demands of Errberger. ':- " - Blow for Military There followed anxious days of hasty and excited conferences to save the situation without' exposing to the Entente allies any evidence of ; internal friction. " - u' - For-the -flrst time since the beginning of the war- the military authority, the Oberheeresleitnng, Incarnate In the persons of HIndenburg and Ludendprf, looked up from their charts and-were amazed by "''the face of a determined people. ' At 1 the Cron Conferences which marked the crisis,- the' Crown Prince appeared,-In virtue f the 'fact that the ' decisions to be reached affected his interests as prospective King of Prussia and German Emperor. ; ' ' ;' Prince Wat -Liberal I learn from a high source that the Prince's voice was for the liberalization of the Prussian Constitution, and a 'general advance on modern and popular Unes. ''' ' J ' "For three days a series of conferences were held in the garden of the Ministry of the Interior. They were attended by' the retiring Chancellor, by his prospective successor, - Michaelis, 'by Field Marshal HIndenburg and Qnartennaster-Genera! Ludendorf and by the representatives of all par ties of the Reichstag. It was at these conferences ! that "an understanding was arrived at ' The demand of the German people became ' vocal in three clearly pronounced particulars r Clearing Prussian Suffrage 1. The' rectification of. the Prussian suffrage. - 2. The establishment of a truly parliamentary Imperial government. 3. The enunciation of the war a'ms of the German nation as purely defensive.'-1' The Kaiser's signed rescript directing the reorganization of the Prussian electoral system on the basis of a ''direct and secret ballot" was Immediately issued. ' The Reichstag was still unsatisfied. The Reichstag is" the House of Representatives of the empire, but it took up the cause of one of the German States. - The action which the Reichstag took was simple. It merely declined to grant the additional war credit which the" Government of the Empire asked. To speak a little more accurately, it refrained from granting them, and postponed debate on the budget. -Reichstag's First Step. That Is to say; Germany's Parliament had now learned what other parliaments had learned long ago; learned the principle which is the foundation of all popular governments ; -"We Always Have Exactly

Here's Joyful News for Auto -Owners! Gas Sub is Found

i , t GRAND FORKS, N. D-, Aug. 6. Automobile owners and other users of gasoline1 watching with1 interest research work here Into a new source of motor fuel which was discovered recently by E. J. Babcock, Dean of the School of Mines "of the University of North Dakota." " The hew fuel which is called "motor ' spirit" by Dean Babcock, Is a volatile oil distilled' from lignite coal, great quantities of which exist" in North Dakota. It is not exactly ' the same'a3 gasoline but Is very similar to it both in chemical composition and properties, according to Dr. Babcock. " The discovery was entirely accidental as Dr. Babcock said he was not trying to find a substitute for gasoline but was merely using a new method of heat treatment' of lignite to expel the gas, water and other by products as a preliminary to briquetting. Dean Babcock Is working over his experiments carefully and will Issue a bulletin soon defining his discovery. He would riot state what quantities of the fluid' cculd be obtained from a given quantity of lignite coal but did eay, however, that enough of the fluid can be obtained by 'distillation - to warrant that it may have future commercial importance. ' '" - The quantity of lignite coal in North Dakota is tremendous, accord ing to the latest government survey which estimates that six hundred billion tons, nearly a thousand times the annual production of ' coal in the whole United States, lies under the western part-of the state. '-' '' '""-' ' i ' 1 Russian Commander Is Ordered Executed LONDON, Aug. 6. General Maeovisky, commander of the guards corps which headed the Russian retreat on the southwest front, has been ordered 6hot, according to a dispatch to the Post from Petrograd. - - This sentence came after a court martial which was ordered by General Korniloff, commander in chief, for non compliance of his order to shoot de serters: namely, that, possessing the power to grant or withhold credit to the sover eign, it has already in its possession complete control of the national desti nies. But the Reichstag failed to proceed to -use its authority. - It will require many efforts before any German parliamentary body will do so. The Reichstag is a baby learning to walk. The steps which it in its infan cy took were two: it required and it obtained, the resignation of the Chan cellor whose lips were unable to say "no annexations, no indemnities," and it : obtained assurance of a reformed Prussian suffrage. . i . ' - Bethmann Great Man. The demission of Bethmann-Holl-weg was an event the importance of which will probably never be ad equately assessed outside of Germany: Between the Emperor and the grim, gray giant wno for eigne years naa ex ecuted a task which would have beg gared Bismarck, there exists a partic ularly warm, I might say, a tender re lationship. Known in America only as the author of a hasty phrase ("a scrap of paper") which was in" truth as un representative of his character as the hasty word3 of fully-occupied men gen erally are, Bethmann stood for the German people as a monument of in tegrity and sincerity. - ' " - I doubt if there will ever be another real Chancellor of the German Em pire. The task is impossible. Two real men have undertaken to fulfill Its duties Bismarck and Bethmann. - What We Advertise"
