Unable to conceal its anxiety lest the
statements of Count Posadowsky-W Web
ner be interpreted as a one-sided de-
claration in favor of the agricultural
lists and middle classes.
As matter of fact, the only parties
thus far active in the pending elections
are the socialists and agrarians. The
government, while not openly partici-
Eating, clearly sides with the agrar-
iSns 4 number of cases are reported
where local government officials have
been strongly pressing the rural voters
to support the agrarians.
The fact that a bill has been prepared
to curtail the franchise in order to pre-
vent an increase in the number of So
cialist representatives, which is fully
corroborated, is having increasing in
huence in the campaign.
There has been a split among the
Centrists during the week. The Cen
trists of Westphalia have cut loose from
the party, owing to the latter's luke
warm support of the agrarian demands,
and they have nominated their own
candidates. The Centrists have also
lost q number of districts in Bavaria,
through the Independent agrarian
movement among the Catholics.
ARMY REORGANIZATION.
The government proposed to ask the
new reichstag to increase the credits
for the reorganization of the army, and
additions to the field artillery, i2clud-
ing the creation of mortar batteries.
and the addition of a corps of mounted
infantry to every army corps, an in

battalion each, and the formation of
three new army corps
