: SURPRISE TO FRANCE.
Paris Papers Discuss German Election
Result.

PARIS, January 26.-The Waterloo Of the
German socialists in the :eichstag elections
yesterday was a surprise to France and,
while Emperor Williams victory was not
particularly welcome. some of the serious
French papers manifest qualification at the
check administered to socialism. to which
their own government is proving more and
more subservient. The semi-ofhcial Temps,
while it considers that the question whence
the government will obtain parliamentary
majority is still open. regards the elections
as evidence that the working classes of
Germany are at last turning from the IDEAL
ism Of the Marxists and dognatic collec-
tivism, with the inevitable class war, to-
ward the attainment of realizable reforms
through the liberal parties.
The Liberte takes somewhat similar
view, saying: 1.-THE defeat of the best or
ganized socialists in Europe marks an in
teresting step, the defiance of the extreme
parties by the people who are awakening to
their true interests
