Berlin, November 22.-Thousands
of social democrats from all over the
empire swarmed into Berlin today to
take part in the great mass meeting
of protest against the military and
foreign policies of the government.
The gathering marks the beginning
of a vigorous campaign OF the
socialists, which will continue with.
out intermission until January IL,
when the general elections for mem
bers of the reichStag will be held.
Minor elections held in various parts
of Germany in the last month show
tremendous socialist gains, and the
opinion is universal: that the general
elections will result in a great in
crease in the socialist representation.
The socialists will certainly cast
more votes than all other parties
combined and with full manhood
suffrage would capture the country.
Tonight's meeting will be address
ed by Herr DR.. Bebel, the socialist
leader in the reichstag, and a dozen
other prominent socialists, including
representatives Of the party from
Great Britain and France. The latter
will bring message of peace and
solidarity" from the workingmen OF
their respective countries. DR.. Bebel
declares that only the fear that the
social democratic wOrkingmen will
refuse to be shot "for the glory OF
me-and Gott" prevents the emperor
from bringing on war, and says
the Crown. Prince is even more anx-
ious for a fight than his father.
