BERLIN. June 1.-THE two most con-
spicuOus features of the electoral re-
turns have been the continued reports
Of social democratic gains and Richter
ist losses Early in the morning most
of the news still came from the city
constituencies. and the list of oppOsi-
ton deputies grew rapidly. In the
afternoon. however. dispatches from
the agricultural districts revealed the
other side of the page From all that
can now be ascertained it is reasonably
safe TO conclude that the government
certainly has lost nothing by the disso-
luton. and probably has won little.
The revised list of the Berlin polls
show that the radical vote fell from
5000 to 52.OS5. while the social demo-
cratic vote increased from 126,3lI to
I5O,9T1. The vote of the conservatives
and anti Semites increased from 34,O9s
to 1915. Complete returns from the

The report made serious insinuations
