TEXT OF PEACE SPEECH OF PRINCE MAXIMILIAN BEFORE THE REICHSTAG

COPENHAGEN,, Oct. 7. (By Associated Press) The text of the address f Prince Maximilian ot Baden, the "kew Imperial Chancellor of Germany, outlining bis policies to the Reichstag Saturday, follows: "In accordance with the imperial decree of September SO the German Empire has undergone a basic alteration of political leadership. , "As successor to Count George P. von Hertling, whose services in behalf of the Fatherland deserve the highest acknowledgement, I have been summoned by the emperor to lead the new government. "In accordance with the governmental method now introduced I submit to the Reichstag, publicly and without delay, the.princlples upon which I propose to qpnduct the grave responsibilities of the office. "Principles Firmly Established.'' "These principles were firmly established by the agreement of the fed- ' erated governments and the leaders of the majority parties In this House, before I decided to assume the duties of chancellor. "They contain, therefore, not only my own confession of political faith, but that of an overwhelming portion of the German people's representatives, that is, of the German nation which has constituted the Reichstag on the basis of a general, equal and secret franchise, and according to their will. "Only the fact that I know the conviction and will of the majority of the people are back of me has given me strength to take upon myself conduct of the empire's affairs in this hard and earnest time in which "we are living. "People Are Asked to Aid." "One man's shoulders would be too weak to carry alone the tremendous responsibility which falls upon the government at present. Only If the people take active part. In the broadest sense of the word, of deciding their destinies; In other words, If responsibility also extends to the maleaders, can the leading statesman confidently assume his part of the re sponsibility In the service of the fatherland?" "My resolve to do this has been enorlnlW llchtpnprl for me hv h fart. that prominent leaders of the laboring class have found a way in the new government to the highest offices of the empire. "I see therein a sure guarantee that the new government will be supported by the firm confidence of the broad masses of the people, without whose true support the whole undertaking would be condemned to failure in advance. "Hence, what I say today, I say not only in my own name and those of my 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 Imperial govern ment to Pope Benedict's note of Au gust 1, 1916, and an unconditional ac ceptance of the relchstag resolution of July 19, the same year. "It further declares willingness to Join a general league of nations based on the foundation of equal rights for all. both strong and weak. "It considers this solution of the Belgian question to He in the complete rehabilitation (wiederherstelllng) of Belgium, particularly of its In dependence and territorial integrity. An effort shall also be made to reach an understanding on the question of tndemnity. "Treaties to Be No Hindrance." "The program will not permit the .peace treaties hitherto concluded to be a hindrance to the conclusion of , general peace. I "Its particular aim Is that popular representative bodies shall be formed immediately on a broad basis in the Baltic provinces, in Lithuania and Poland. We will promote the realization of necessary preliminary eonditlons therefore without delay by the ' Introduction of civilian rule. "All these lands shall regulate their ; constitutions and their relations with neighboring peoples without external Interference. "In the matter of International poli'ries I have taken a clear stand through the manner in which the formation of the Government wa3 , brought about. Upon my motion leaders of the majority parties were sumimoned for direct advice. I '"It was my conviction, gentlemen, 'that unity of. imperial leadership should be assured. i "I considered almost still more important the unity of ideas. I proceeded from this viewpoint and have, In making my selections, laid greatest weight on the fact that the members of the new Imperial Government 'stand on a basis of a Just peace of jus tice, regardless of the war situation, and that they have openingly declared this to be their standpoint at the time when we stood at the height of our military successes. "I am convinced that the manner In which the Imperial leadership is now constituted with co-operation of the relchstag is not something ephemeral, and that when peace tomes a government cannot again be formed which does not find support in the relchstag and does not draw its leaders therefrom. "The war has conducted us beyon 1 the old multifarious and disrupted party life which made It so difficult to put Into execution a uniform and decisive political wish. The forma tlon of a majority means the forma-! tlon ot a political will, and an indisputable 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 themselves the fate of the people.

"This thought will never die. This development will never be retracted (applause) 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 belong to the Government will put aside all that separates us and will give tho fatherland what Is the fatherland's. "This development necessitates an alteration cf our constitution's provisions along the lines of the Imperial decree of Sept. 30, which shall mako it possible that those members of the relchstag who entered the Government will retain seats in the reich stag. A bill to this end has been submitted to the Federal states and will immediately be made the object of their consideration and decision. "Gentlemen, let us remember tha words spoken by the Emperor on August 4, 1914, which I permitted myself to paraphrase last December at Karlsruhe: " 'There are, In fact, parties, but they are all German parties.' "Political developments In Prussia, the principal German Federal state, must proceed in the spirit of these words of the Emperor, and the message of the King of Prussia promising the democratic franchise must me fulfilled quickly and completely. (Applaus. I do not doubt also that those federal states which still lag behind In the devopment of their constitution conditions will resolutely follow Prussia's example. (Applause.) "Close Relations Necessary." "For the present, as the example of all belligerent states demonstrates, the extraordinary powers which a condition of siege compels cannot be dispensed with, but close relations between the military and civilian authorities 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 be place under the Chancellor's responsibility. (Applause.) "To this end, the order of the Emperor will be sen to the military commanders. With September 30, the way of the decree, began a new epoch in Germany's internal history. The internal policy whose basic principles are there laid down is of deciding importance of the question of peace or war. "The striking force which the Government has in its strivings for peace

depends on whether it has behind it the united firm and unshakable will . of the people. Only when our enemies feel that the German people stand united back of their chosen leaders then only can words become deeds. (Applause.) "At the peace negotiations the German Government will use it efforts to the end that the treaties shall contain provisions concerning the protection of laborers which provisions shall oblige the treaty-making states to institute In their respective lands within a prescribed time a minimum of similar, or at least equally efficient institutions ofr the security of life and health as for the care of laborers In the case of illness, accident or invalidism. "Filled With Sacrifices." "Of direct importance are the conclusions which the Government, in the brief span of its existence, has been able to wraw from the situation in which is finds itself and to apply practically to the . situation. More than four years of bloodiest struggle against a world of numerically superior enemies are behind us; years full of the hardest battles and most painful sacrifices. "Nevertheless, we of strong heart and full of confident faith in our strength, resolved to bear still heavier sacrifices for our honor and freedom and for the happiness of our posterity If it cannot be otherwise. (Applause.) "We remember with deep and warm gratitude our brave troops, who, under splendid leadership, have accomplished almost superhuman deeds throughout the whole war, and whose past deeds are a sure guarantee that the fate of us all will also in future be in good and dependable hands in their keeping. For months a terrible and murderous battle has been raging in the west. Thanks to the incomparable heroism of our army, which will live as an immortal glorious page in the history of the German people, for all times, the front is unbroken. "This proud consciousness permits us to look to the future with confidence. But, just because we are in spired by this feeling and the convic tlon that It Is also our duty to make !

certain that the bloody - struggle "be not protracted for a single day beyond the moment when a close of the war seems possible to us1 which does not affect our honor, I have, therefore, not waited until today to take a step to further the cause of peace. Appeal Sent to Wilson. "Supported by the consent of all duly authorized persons in the empire, and by consent of all our allies acting in concert wlht us, I sent on the night of October 4-5, through the mediation of Switzerland, a note to the president of the United States, in which I requested him to take up the bringing about of peace and to communicate to this end with all the belligerent states. "The note will reach Washington today or tomorrow. It is directed to the president of the United States, because he, in his message to congress on January 8, 1918, and in his later proclamations, particularly in his New York speech of September 27, proposed a program for a genereal peace which we can accept as a basis for negotiations. "I have taken this step not only for the salvation of Germany and its al

lies, but ot all humanity which haa been Buffering for years through the war. "I have taken it also because I believe the thoughts regarding the future well being of the nation which were proclaimed by Mr. Wilson are in accord with the general ideas cherished by the German Government and with it the overwhelming majority of our people. "So far as I am personally concerned in earlier speeches to other assemblages my hearers will testify that the conception which I hold of a future peace has undergone no change since I was entrusted with the leadership ot the empire's affairs. Sees No Distinction. "I see, hence, no distinction whatever between the nationally and international mandates of duty in respect of peace. For me the deciding factor is solely that all participants shall with equal honesty acknowledge these mandates as binding and respect them as is the case with me and with other members of our new government. "And so, with an inner peace which my clear conscience as a man and as a servant of the people gives me, and which rests at the same time upon firm faith in this great and true people, this people capable of every devotion, and upon their glorious armed power, I await the outcome of the first action which I have taken as tho leading statesman of the empire. "Whatever this outcome may be I know it will find Germany firmly resolved and united either for an upright peace, which rejects every selfish violation of the rights of othars, or for a closing of the struggle for life and death to which our people would be forced without our own fault if the answer to our note of the Powers opposed to us should be dictated by a will to destroy us. "I do not despair over the thought that this second alternative may come. I know the greatness of the mighty powers yet possessed by our ple and i know that the incontrovertible conviction that they were only fighting for our life as a nation would double these powers. (Applause.) "I hope, however, for the sake of all mankind that the president of the United States will receive our offer as we meant it. Then the door will be opened to a speedy, honorable peace of justice and reconciliation for us as well as for our opponents." Asks Socks Sent in to Sock Shop at Once Mrs. Julia Gaar, who Is In charge of the sock shop, wishes to ask that every one who has socks out at present return them at once, since 150 pairs are to be sent to Indianapolis this week for the sailors of the U.

Also she asks that patriotic citizens volunteer to make 100 comfort bags out of colored cretonne, which when finished will be 10x13; or if persons are unable to make the bags themselves, that they send in the cretonne to the sock shop above the Palais Royal as soon as possible, since these are to go to the same cause. In all the sock shop has shipped 555 pairs of socks to the Rainbow Division. The Spanish Influenza wave of 1918 was preceded by a virulent wave of the disease In 1889 and 1890.
