BERLIN. Jan. 1f.--tSpecial to The Beef
The conservatives are openly declaring
measures to suppress socialism Ore said
recently It was not proposed to wait for
socialstic violence. but rather It was in
tended to open the attack on socialism.
Herr Won Heydebrand told the chancellor
kindly that he would not dictate to him
what form those measures should take,
but Il Is clear that what Is wanted Is
something like the socialist laws Of the
sos which enabled the government to
suppress the socialist propaganda wherever
It ventured TO show itself
II is expected that the socialists will at
least double their numbers in the next
Reichstag. In the present house they have
fifty. II they come back from the next
campaign with 100 to 19O representatives,
and IL their radical allies. whose present
strength is also fifty, do proportionately
well, the government majority. which has
total membership OF 397, will have
dwindled to perilously near the vanishing
point.
The millions Of Germans who vote for
socialistic candidates do so because they
dition of things. and the most effective
way OF expressing their discomfort s to
vote red"
Talk of House of Lords.
There Is talk Of an imperial House of
Lords as check to the Reichstag; also
talk of disregarding the Reichstag alto
gether. And there is growing demand
that II shall be made clear TO the social
lists that they will not be allowed to upset
an order Of things under which the nation
has grown to greatness and the prices of
agricultural produce have reached such
satisfactory figures majority or no ma
iority
The Relchstag debate on the emperors
drivelng divine right" speech showed
which way the wind is blowing and equally
plainly which way IT is not blowing It
I is not blowing against the throne. The
emperor came out of the debate I'M
scathed. The socialists made most Of the
opportunity but failed to carry the nom
socialist left with them. The liberals of
all shades do not relish the Koenigsberg
speech. They would far rather the SOW
/ erelgn would leave such things unsaid
but they have no quarrel with him at this
juncture. Allowance is made for every
thing he says or does. II is not regarded
too seriously even by conservatives.
Sentence of Spies Endorsed.
The sentences imposed upon Captain
Trench and Lieutenant Brandon, the Eng
fish spies is endorsed here. The news
papers trust the revelations made in the
course of the trial will so far tend to a
betterment Of the political situation in that
they will convince the British public that
the idea of an invasion OF Germany by
England is purely chimerical. Satisfaction
is felt in the circumstances that. while
only lieutenant Helm, a harmless tourist
fell into English hands, the German au-
thoritles have caught redhanded two Eng
fish spies specially trained and adapted
for the vile work.

not lightly overlook this instruc
