On Sunday three delegates from the "republic of Ham burg" arrived at Brussels. Standing on a balcony the military command of the city addressed a crowd of three thousand sol ; diers and civilians. j "Three million Germans have been killed during the :j. war," he said. "That is sufficient. Let us have peace." j! General von Falkenhayn, the German governor-general If. of Belgium received the delegates and in the meantime French ; and Belgian socialists addressed the crowd. A letter had been received from Field Marshal von Hin denburg, who was at Bingen-on-Rhine. It was read to the crowd. It said: 'I am heartily in sympathy with the regenerative move- tment. Soldiers' must obey the orders of the supreme soldiers' committee. Let us have peace." Some soldiers then entered the park' which has been ; closed to the public for four years. They smashed the marble ;l slabs surrounding the beautiful ponds, broke their guns and ;! threw the gun barrels into the water. They then formed a f procession and singing the Marseillaise, paraded through the 1 f .city behind the red flag. k The only bloodshed in Brussels occurred on Wednesda' when a patrol, detailed by the soldiers' committee to keep order, fired upon a disorderly crowds, killing twelve civilians and -wounding about thirty. The crowd had disregarded the firing i of a blank volley by the soldiers. I V WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.

' ' " ' General Smuts Tells t American Editors What Countries Must Do. MEW WORLD NOW Must Extend Aid to Dis ""tressed With AIT j Mapanimity. j LONDON, Thursday, Nov. 14 Lieu tenant General Jan Christian Smuts tonight entertained a party of Amer ican editors on behalf of the govern ment. Addressing tho guests he said, that greatest and most fruitful fact of1 the great war had been the coming to-' gether of Europe and America. "Old Europe is dead and a new! v,orld Is slowly emerging," he said. "In the upbuilding of this new world the co-operation of America is essen tial. "America has become jointly respon-1 sible wjth Europe for tho new order i which will arise from the ruins of this war. "When the great American republic joined us in the struggle, it was not only with material weapons, but with all that moral reinforcement which came from the splendid vision and moral enthusiasm of President Wilson, speaking on behalf of. the people of the United States. His was tho grent vision of a league of nations, and our main concern now must be the sav ing of Europe for the future of the world. As we organized the world for victory let us now organize tho world against hunger. That will be the best preparation for the new order of in ternational good feeling and co-opera-lion. "The position is tragic in the' ex treme. A whole world order is pass ing away. There is danger of things going too far and giving Europe a set back'from which she will not recover for generations. Tho ovils bred by hunger threaten not merely the old in stitutions, but civilization. We saved the soul of civilization; now let us care for its sick body. "Not only the liberated territories of our allies, not only our small neu tral neighbors, but the enemy coun tries themselves require our helping hand. Let us extend it in all gener osity and magnamity! "It would all have been so much easier if Germany had fought a clean fight and not stained her hands with such crimes, but even so, we must be influenced by larger considerations. "Tho existing Inter-allied machin ery, which is tho nucleus of a league of nations probably will undertake this task. In the period of reconstruc tion after the war, all countries, al lied, neutral and enemy, will have to be rationed for certain raw materials. Here again international machinery is necessary. We thus are making straight for a league of nations charg ed with tho performance of these in ternational functions. "Then a3 regards the primary ob ject of the league, from Finland to Constantinople the map will be cov ered with small nations divided by profound antipathies and most of them with minorities conductive to national weakness. We may therefore expect more dangers of war hi Europe Chan In the past. Therefore It is impera tive that we create an International organization to keep the peace." "The league also would bo useful in solving other problems. For instance when tho league is established, Amer ica might be asked to act in some trouble in Turkey or Russia on behalf of I ho league, which would give her general directions. Or take the case of DEATH r BREAKS EN - .aAQ-BMBNT. " j ' S7LLZ.T. CX7Vi The engagement of Mllo.

I Ex-Kaiser's Son Reaches Frontier and Taken Into Custody. I AMSTERDAM, Thursday, Nov. 14 I Crown Prince Frederick William of Germany arrived at Maastricht, on (Tuesday from Spa, having taken a cir ' cuitous route In order to avoid muti nous troop6. The party, which travel ed in three motor car3, was held up by frontier guards because all its members were armed. Internment was l ordered but when it became known 1 that one of the party was the former crown prince, all were disarmed and' detained until the arrival of the Dutch commander at Maastricht and other officials. The former crown prince accompan ied the commander to the latter's home, where he remains, with his sulto under guard, pending Instruc tions from The Hague. ' AMSTERDAM, Thursday, Nov. l-l Officers of the German air service have taken the German crown prince and his eldest son to a place of safety, according to the Tageblatt of Berlin. the former German colonies. Some of them must fairly and properly be given to the British dominions who conquered them and for whose future development and security they are nocessary. But there may conceivably be others which the allies, while re fusing to restore them to Germany as we cannot foresee what course the fu ture development of Germany might take, might transfer to certain. powers until their ultimate disposal is settled. "Probably other knotty territorial problems could be deferred in tho samo way. The task will bo as diffi cult as it Is great-but where America joins hands with Europe, and Great Britain, In attempting to solvo it, I have no doubt a solution will be found." t Great Interest Centers in Coming Elections in in England. PREMIER'S PROPOSAL Lloyd George Urges Keeping War Cabinet in Peace Times. LONDON, Thursday, Nov. 14 The issue in the coming elections is whe ther the country will endorse Lloyd George's proposal that the present coalition government with himself as premier, shall be continued after the war for the work of making peace and carrying on the labor or reconstruc tion. Never before were British political conditions as chaotic as they are to day. The war has shattered old party lines. The electorlal reform bill adopted by parliament during the summer of 3917 virtually doubled the number of vot ers. It gave the ballot to all women over 30, men over 21 and soldiers un der 21. This added G.000,000 females and 2,000,000 males to the voting lists. How the women will vote and what parties the soldiers will support none can predict. The legal life of the present house of commons expired three years ago and has extended its own tenure of office from term to term by resolutions. This has been an informal procedure which would have been impossible except that it had the endorsement of public opinion because no one wanted an election during the great war. As the new voters will be entitled to tako part in choosing the govern ment, Mr. Lloyd George has before him the difficult tnsk of trying to keep to gether that majority of the conserva tive party which supported his wav measures and enough liberals to give him a balance of power. The decis ive factors will be how many liberals will follow him and what policy the labor party will adopt. Herbert H. Asqulth remains the of-, ficial loader of the liberal party while Mr. Lloyd George is a free lance with out any party organization funds be hind him. He wishes to continue the political truce which all parlies de clared at tho beginning of the war and trusts to the slogan that ho is the "leader who won tho war" to attract votes. The program of his followers is ap parently to nomiate Lloyd George. So far as Ireland is concerned the election probably means tho almost total disappearance of the old nation alist party of Redmond and Dillon from Westminter. The Sinn Feiners are expected to sweep southern Ire land but the members elected by tho Sinn Fein always refused to take their seats. In addition to trying to hold togeth er his conservative and liberal sup porters, Mr. Lloyd George is trying to reconcllo the Asquith faction. Mr. Asquith could havo had a high seat in the present cabinet it he would have accepted it. There wero two obsta cles, however, home rule and protec tion. One of these the conservatives will not have and the other is ob jected to by the liberals. LONDON, Thursday, Nov. 14-The labor conference today unanimously adopted a resolution submitted by James R. MacDonald, chairman of the labor partj demanding that labor be represented at the official conference and that an International labor con gress sit concurrently.

An American mission commanded by Major General Rhodes will leave Saturday for Spa, German headquarters, Marshal Foch announces in a wireless message to the German high command. 'H The mission will consist of six officers and nineteen soldiers. The German command is asked to give instructions to allow the mis sion to pass. The wireless message reads : 1 "From the allied high command to the German high command at Spa: 'H "American mission, consisting of six officers and nineteen sol diers in nine motor cars, with General Rhodes as chief of mission will leave for Spa on the morning of the 16th by the way of Laca pelle, Beaumonte, Phillipsville, Liege, and Spa. Please give instruc tions to allow the mission to pass." AMSTERDAM, Thursday, Nov. 14. The new German govern- iH men I has issued an appeal to the peasant population asking for the ) formation of peasants' councils for the purpose of organizing food supply. The appeal says that such voluntary self-determination is better than bureaucratic organization and will avert recourse to com- pulsory measures.
