Communists Now Fourth Strongest Party in Germany Reds Win 60 Seats in Reich stag as a Result of Recent National Elec tion. By KARL H. VON VV1EGAND, l ntvrr-al Service Staff Correspondent. Berlin, May 5.—The German re public, a bit shaken but still strong in the ring of democratic republics of the world, la tonight trying to realize the significance of yesterday’s elections. The question of monarchy or re public was not an issue In the elec lions, hut it Is nut without interest nd significance that there will be 229 deputies in the new reichstag be longing to parties openly or secretly against the republican form of gov ernment. That is practically half of the whole membership. Of this number, 170 belong to the. various categories of nationalists and about 60 are communists. If to these are added 46 seats won by the Strese mann peoples’ party, the anti-republic elements will have more than a ma jority. The severest shock of the election, which is reverberating strongly from one end of llio country to the other, was the discovery that there are to day in Germany 3,500,000 communists who, with 60 scats in the reichstag, will be fourth strongest party. They are just below the Catholic centrists with twice as many deputies as tho . democrats and a third more than Htresemann's party. Dawes Fate Doubtful. The possible fate of the Dawes re port Ie the chief topic of conversation. The government, in a statement this vening, interprets the election as a ote of a majority of the German peo tle for ratifying the government's ac ceptance of the report, but whether a •wo-thirds majority can he obtained n the reichstag for the necessary hange in the constitution to carry nit the report of the experts with regard to the railways Is considered loejhtful. Tile government is more disturbed >y the enormous growth of commun ism than anything else, and was dis posed to stress that and minimize the mportant gains of the nationalists. The fate of the Dawes report rests almost wholly with the nationalists, whose leaders are Dr. Oscar Hergt and Grand Admiral von Tlrpitz, as llstinguished from the Ludendorff racialists. It ts not wholly clear tonight whether the nationalists, with nearly 100 deputies, or tlie social democrats will he the strongest party In the leichstag. It is officially pointed out l hat tho nationalists have not come out openly against the Dawes report, btlt have merely Mated that it is "not inacceptable hut is unfulfillable.’’ Personnel of Reichstag. The leichstag as elected yesterday will be composed, according to unof Iiclal newspaper estimates', as follows: Socialists, 103. Nationalists. 96. Catholic center. 61. Communists, 0. Htresemann's peoples' party. 46. Ludendorff i .icialists. 30. Democrats, 28. Bavarian peoples’ party, 16 Economic party, 6. Agricultural leagues, C. Each 611,0(10 votes cast elect one member, so tho total membership de ) pends on the total number of votes cast. The indications late tonight arc that it will be about two weeks be fore the present Marx government resigns. The returns will not be of ficially certified- for at least 10 days. There will be 13 parties represented in the new reichstag, with only about - ight of them Important. l-'ear is already being expressed that President Ebert will have ex treme difficulty getting the new gov ernment together, it is considered most feasible to form a coalition of socialists, democrats, centrists and Htresemann's peoples' party, but it is not believed that, such a cabinet would find Itself In control of more Ilian 10 majority.

She tried her hand at matrimony, street singing, maneuvering before the footlights, both amateur and pro fessional, selling pretty things to mer chants, and driving her father's auto mobile through the Jail doors. Her first husband went off on a tangent, look a shot at her and then killed himself. This was years ago.

But she has set tip two ground rules under which apiicants must qualify before they may answer her ]L-t of questions. First, "he" must be a Mason. She follows a family tradition in tills, she says.

There »a< no doubt about it, the old log oti which Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse and Jerry Muskrat were sailing on the Green Meadows was slowly but surely drifting in the wrong direction. That is, it was drifting In the wrong direction for Danny and Nanny. To Jerry Musk rat it made no particular difference. He couldn't understand why Danny and Nanny nn the other end of the log had suddenly become so excited. It was all because Danny had made a discovery. That old log had been drifting past some fence posts, which were above water for half their Dngth. His sharp eyes had discov ered a hole in a poet Just ahead of them. The old log had begun to drift, In toward that post. Danny * and Nanny a hopes had risen high. If that old log would just drift In against tint post they could scramble up to that hole and feel reasonably safe. And then the Merry Little Rreezes had come along and begun to push that old log out away from the post. Tou see they didn't know that Danny snd Nanny wanted to reach that poet. As thev caw the stretch of water between iiu old log and the post be gin to widen Nanny lost heart alto Rfyier, "Oh, dear, ' she sobbed. "Oh bear, we won't be able to set there. " But Danny didn't lose heart. He waited only long enough to be sure that that old log was going to keep on drifting away. Then he turned to Nanny. "We've got to swim for It," said he. “Oh, no!" squeaked Nanny. “No, no! I don’t dare do that!" •All right," said Danny -rather sharply. "You can stay here if you want to. but I'm going If we stay here there is no knowing when we'll reach a place of safety. Here we re right in plain sight of any hawk that inay come this way. If you want to take the chance of furnishing that liawk a good dinner you can stay right here I'm going to get to that fence post." “You don't i»ean you'll leave me, do you, Danny?” cried Nanny. "I mean that I am going to swim for it whether you do or not," re tcrted Danny. Now that sounded very unkind. But Danny knew- Nanny. He knew that though she was afraid to swim fi r that fence post, she would be CaB» ' »«» - Danny kept right on swimming. still more afraid to be left alone with Jerry Muskrat drifting on that old log. So without another word he took a long breath, plunged Into the water and began to ewim with all his might. Nanny fairly danced up and down. Three times she started to plunge in after him and then drew back. Danny kept right on swim ming. He didn't even look back to see if Nanny were coming. "Oh! oh! oh!'' aobbed Nanny. Then she drew a long breath and plunged into the water. Now it wasn't * very long swim. To Jerry Muskrat it wouldn't have Beemed any swim at all. D nny reached the fence post and began to : scramble up. When he was well out j >t water he turned to look. Nanny : was coming as fast as her little feet could paddle. Danny waited. Nanny -cached the fence post and scrambled jp beside him. Then Danny led the > way up to that hole near the top. Inside they found e comfortable nest hat had once belonged to Wineome bluebird.
