Ry CLINTON W. CIMIERT Special Correspondent Kvenlno fubtlc Ledger CoiwrloM, 1918. Iiu f'ntillc l.edocr Co. Washing!"". Oct. I. Tlie Herman cabinet changes an nounced yesterday and today me.ir. an early peace offer that will come close to the line of acceptance. Tho new parliamentary combination is u liberal combination bringing together the best elements lii German political life. ' The selection of IWr.ce Max of Baden emphasizes the Importance of the Socialists In the new government. Prince Max Is a Socialist, has been a paying member of the party since before the war. Phlllpp Scheldeman, who was ele vated to the cabinet as it secretary of State without portfolia, is the leader of the majority Soi.lali.sts gioup. Groebner, also named ns a secretary of State, is leader of the Centilsts. who have also been a strong peace policy of the majority Social ists Is well known, ai.d It Is possible to (Jeduce the nature of thp pence piopusal that will come from Prince Max and Scheidemann. They will piobably offer to free Belgium, to liar, ttcipate In an International Indemnity 'to Belgium, northern France nnd per haps some other war-devastated terri tories; to,, withdraw fiom conquested lands; to create ar. autonomous state of Alsace-Lorraine within the Ger man Kmplre or under German Influ ence; to levlse the Brest-Lltovsk and Bucharest treaties; to create a league of nations, and accept the principal of disarmament. In short, the propo sition will bring the Central Powers very close to tho Allied terips, or, at any rate, to the propositions of Presl det.t Wilson. Internal Reforms limited I-'or ...11. Tliey may precvuu ims nun- " certain Internal reforms which will give Germany at least a more demo cratic appearance than It has now, and perhaps a mole truly democratic government. In this connection It Is necessary to recall the Kaisers' words when he accepted Hertllng'a resigna tion tho other day. The Kaiser prom ised a larger participation of the people of Get many In the German Gov ernment. oNw the calling of the lead eis of popular parties Into the cabinet J ... .. I.. nl. .H.n.. .lA IriCIVAM ...1,-. ticipatlon of the people In the German Government. The constitution remains the same. As one of the men best In formed about Gei many In Washington described It today, "putting Prince Max and Scheidemann In the cabinet Is like putting n new team of horses Into a carriage, while the carriers, the harness, .the reins, the driver le mains the same. It Is a fine pair of horses. A more splendid looking team could not be Imagined." An Illustration of Just what the system Is was afforded, as this man said, by the news the other day that the Herman Government Is committed to Prussian electoral icform. Yet the military masters of Germany have for midden public meetrngs to discuss the one-man, one-vote plan. It Is as If General March would forbid meetings on woman suffrage while President WlUon la trying to have the Senate pass .the equal suffrage amendment This prohibition of Hindenburg and Ludendorff went forth and all Hert ling, the German Chancellor, could do, was exclaim: "I can do nothing about It." Prince Max Inherits the placcc of Hertllng In the scheme of things. If tho Kaiser means real populariza tion, Prlnco Max will have to be some thing nore than Hertllng.
