who is in close relations with Prime
Minister Won BueIow. to set forth the
views of the government concernins
the street demonstrations of last Fri
day, which resulted from the demand
in the Prussian landing for the aboli-
tion of the present plutocratic system
of suffrage and the substitution there
for of manhood suffrage. "The So
cialist disturbances will result In the
liberals drawing closer to the support
Of the government" this Official said.
1.-THE liberals In Germany are COM
posed largely Of manufacturers, bank
ers, merchants and other property
owning interests. These interests per-
ceive that II they are to avoid being
devoured by the socialists. they must
stand together for strong govern
ment."
