Paris, Nov. 10. A sensation has been
cteated In Germin military and official
circles b’y publication by Edward Bern
stein yesterday in the Berliner Tagellntt
of revelations showing that Geu. Kelm,
president of the German Military League
and friend of the former Kaleer, lud
been In the pay of tho Krupps since 1901.
Last week Bernstein accused Kelm be
ore the Itelchstag and the General de
nied briefly. Bernstein Jhen proved, by
“showing excerpts from, the Krupp books,
that tho account had existed for eighteen
yean and that millions of marks had
been paid to Gen. Kelm in return for
munition contract.
“This man thus received millions from
the first German munition factory.” con
eludes Bernstein. “This is the factory
which Wllhelm so frequently., honored
with visits. The crimes of the house of
Krupp against the German people are
many and even heavier aro those of Gen.
Kelm. The leading spirits in this enter
prise will soon br, called to account be
fore a high court of the people for hav
ing; systematically prepared tho unl
.ursal massacre which has entailed the
oeftat of Germany.”

.JItASHlNGTON, Nov. 10. The following proclamation and manifesto by Friedrich Ebcrt, the new German dtan
VV cellor, were sent out by the German wireless station at Natten and picked up to-day by the naval radio stations in
thi3 country:
THE PROCLAMATION.
New Government has taken charge of business in
order to preserve the German people from civil war and
famine, and in order to enforce its just claims of, nelf
determination. This task I can accomplish only if all
authorities in all civil offices in towns in landed districts
lend to it a helpful hand,
I know it will be hard for many to cooperate with
new men who now have to lead business of the empire.
But I appeal to their love for our people. If organization
of public life stops in this serious hour then Germany
would be prey of anarchy .and most terrible, miserable.
Therefore, lend together with me and your help to our
country by continuing work in fearless and unrelenting
manner, everybody in his position until hour has come

GOURAUD IN SEDAN;
PURSUIT SLACKENS
Roads Cluttered With Sup
plies Abandoned by Enemy.
By the Aieociated Pretf,
Wmt thc French Army in France,
Nov. 10. Tho French General Gouraud
made his official entry Into Sedan at 2
o’clock this afternoon.
Disorder la beginning to show In
the ranks of the retreating German
! Brim- bVinnt, tv-nnno , I , ,h.t. as,.-
together with a large number of
prisoners.
The pursuit of the enemy Is being
rendered extremely difficult by reason of
the shortening front, which necessitates
the withdrawal of materials rendered
useless on the diminishing line nnd the
; doubling of traffic on roads already con-
gested by. the convoys following the ad
vanclng troops.
French territory occupied by the
enemy along th Uetglan frontier Is
diminishing rapidly In size. Kvory
whero the French troops ore now -within
the roads were not -becoming more and
, morn encumlered by the increasingly
i mienso iramo ana oy me oooiy jeu oe-
hind by the enemy.
At this hour It appears that It wIP
be a close race between the final cross
ing of the Belgian frontier all along
the line and final action on the armis
tice .proposals.
I am going to form new government, with parties,
and shall report within brief delay about results to public.
New government will be government of people. Its en
deavor must be to bring to people peace as quickly as pos
sible, and to confirm liberty which it has gained.
Citizens: I ask for the assistance of you all in heavy
tasks which await us. You know how seriously war
threatens approvisionment (?) of people which js first
condition of political life. Political revolution ought not
disturb approvisionment of land districts nor to disturb
production of food nor its transportation into towns, but
to foster it.
Scarcity of food means looting and plundering, with
misery for all. The poorest would suffer in the most
heavy fashion. Vorkingmen in industries would be hit
-most severely. Whosoever takea.away food or other ob
jects of necessity br means of- transportation necessary
for their distribution commits heaviest sin against all.
Citizens: I urge you all to leave streets, and provide
for quiet and order. EBERT.
