KAISER OUTLINES REFORMS. Provides for Direct and Secret Election of Deputies at End of War. Amsterdam, April 7.?Direct and secret election of deputies in Prussia at the end of the war is provided for by Emperor William in his order to Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg, directing reforms in the Prussians electoral law. He declared that "in view of the gigantic deeds of the I entire people there is no more room I in Prussia for elections by the classes." In connection with this j phase of his proposal, Emperor Wil; liam said: "Reform of the Prussian Diet and liberation of our entire inner political life are especially dear to my heart. | For the reform of the electoral law j of the lower house preparatory work I already had been begun at my request at the outbreak of the war. "I charge you now to submit to me definite proposals of the ministry of state so that upon the return of our warriors this work, which is fundamental for the internal formation of Prussia, be carried out by legislation. * - r> A 1_ _ a: ^ ?j? il, A in view 01 Hie glgauuc ueeus ui mc entire people there is, in my opinion, no more room in Prussia for election by the classes."
