has suggested that action j." taken

him in the eyes Of the anti-scmitcs into

portraits are seen in book stores, cafes,
and beer cellars, with his head crowned
with laurels.

measure by moderate proposals and on
ly in the event of the centre party con
tinuing to oppose the latter's proposals
will the reichstag be dissolved.
The conservatives have definitely
thrown over Rector AhlWardt, the jew
batter and IibeIer, but irrepressibie as
ever, he peryaGes the country, venting
old scandals with his accustomed zeSt.
At Stettin Il conference OH German

Ahlwardt developed to the satisfaction
of his audience that all moral and so
cial evils now affecting Germany arose
from the Jews. He concluded his nj
dress by declaring that as soon rs the
reichstag met he would produce proofs
of corruption under Bismark's regime
and since bismarck held office.
A somewhat similar conference that
il was proposed TO hold in Dresden has
been forbidden by the police. Another
meeting, which is expected will be "a
monster, has been convened in Beriin.
