| BERLIN, July SO.-(Special Dispatch to
The Bee )--Emperor William is trying to
solve questions of socialism by frequent
charges of the ministry. In the past six
weeks there have been no less than five
ministers appointed by the kaiser. For
monarch who is not responsible to par
lament and can retain his servants as long
as he likes Williams consumption of min
listers is surely large.
People are now talking of the socialist
party in the next Reichstag commanding
100 votes. AS there are only 397 members
of the Reichstag, that would make the
! government OF Germany possible. Conser-
vatlves do not believe that it will come to
that, but It cannot be gainsaid that the so
cialistlc vote has increased 80 per cent since
the low water mark OF 1907 when Prince
Bulow left it. The non-socialistic radicals
have helped the socialistic party in the
last three by-elections not through n rec
ognlzed coalition, but because the ideals
of both are about equal.
