estimates made by State Health Com

had heard of not a single violation of
his order anywhere.
Doctor Royer called Adjutant Gen

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

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. The Gel man
military authorities will have to be
subordinated to the civil authorities

St. Quent'ln was completely cleared
nf the enemy Wednesday afternoon.
Immediately afterward, by special per
mission of the French general command
ing the t-eclor, I crossed this portion of
the Hindenburg line and traversed the
town, being, with my colleague, (lerard
Campbell, the first civilian to do so.
There did not remain a single one of
Its inhabitants to liberate. Of the
original population of 66,000 not an old
mani woman or child has been left. Hale
or" 8Jcki 0ung and old, they have been

There is perhaps another reason for
this forced evacuation wnich, however,
would but aggrevate the offence.
A general told us that, like Noyon, the
town was probably mined In many places
with time fuses to delay explosions for
as long as a week or more. Like Noyon,
St. Quentln will probably be left empty
for this reason. At any rate it Is empty
now dead, and but for the echoes of the
outer battlefield a silent solitude.
We had been warned to hurry
through our task, not to enter public
