something like the socialist lawn of the

It In expected that the socialists will at
least double their numbern In the next
Reichstag. In the present house they have
fifty. If they come back from the next
campaign with 1 to 131 representatives,
and If their radical allies, whose present
strength Is alno fifty, do proportionately
well, the government majority, which has
a total membership of "97, will have
dwindled to perilously near the vanishing
point.
The millions of Germans who vote for
socialistic candidates do so because they
are discontented wttn tne present con-
litlon of things, and the moat effective
way of expressing their discontent is to
ota "red."

There Is talk of an Imperial House

that It shall be made clear to the social
ists that they will not be allowed to upset
an order of things under which the nation
has grown to greatness and the prices of
agricultural produce have reached such
satisfactory figures, majority or no ma
jority. The Reichstag debate on the emperor'a
driveling "divine right" speech showed
which way the wind la blowing and equally
plainly which way It In not blowing. It
la not blowing against the throne. The
emperor came out of the debate un
acathed. The socialists made most of the
opportunity, but failed to carry the non
soclallst left with them. The liberals of
all shades do not relish the Koenlgsberg
speech. They would far rather the sov
ereign would leave nuch things unsaid:
but they have no quarrel with him at this
Juncture. Allowance In made for every

they will convince the British public that
the Idea of an invasion of Germany by
England is purely chimerical. Satisfaction
Is felt In the circumstances that, while
only a lieutenant Helm, a harmless tourist,
fell Into English hands, the German au
thorities have caught redhanded two Eng

for the vile work.

He wan an official, who had been for a
quarter of a century at the city hall of
Boulogne-sur-Selne. The caune of his de

affair, for which he had persistently denied
all responsibility, but on the day when
he threw himself Into the river he had con
