Germany Doomed to Defeat.

The German government, having never
doomed to defeat when Its game Of bluff
was called. To cover up the defeat ne
gotiations were delayed as much as pos
sib1e. but nothing was gained. Every new
turn in the duel of the diplomats gave the
opposition new arms against the govern
sment, and the final result, made known
some weeks ago. practically means that
Morocco has become part Of French
northwest Africa, giving to France q solid
colonial empire second In extent only to
India
During the negotiations an kinds OF ca
lamities happened, panic upset the Ger
man exchanges, bitter quarrels arose and
conservative colonial politicians used as
harsh expressions against the chancellor
and minister of foreign affairs as the So
cialists had ever done. In spite Of all
official denials, 1t is even certain that
the government appealed to the socialists
to get them to arrange demonstrations
against war in order to cover the retreat
of the government.
The land which France has ceded to Ger
many in Africa is worth next to nothing,
being known as the house Of the sleeping
disease" an unhealthy, fever-stricken dis
trict consisting mainly Of swamps.
No wonder the German people are furi-
Gus against their present rulers, who
have been outwitted on every point in re-
gard to Afrii a, and who have created in
creased i'll will against Germany In Bel
GUM. The immediate danger of war has
vanished, but the hatred against England
has been given new nourishnent, and the
people will rack their brains to discover
way of getting revenge for the humilia-
tons suffered during the last six months.

Two Elections Significant.

Two elections are especially significant.
those at Dusseldorf and Konstanz In
the former district the conservatives In
1907 polied 29.259 votes, the socialists
25,3S9. the nahonal-liberal 14.664, and at
the final elections the conservatives won
with 33.317 votes. against Is, 233. This
year the socialists triumphed with 80, 2SS
votes. against 35.5SS. At Konstanz the
conservatives won the former election
with 14.327 votes, against 1886 national
liberal. This year liberal was elected
with 1914 votes, against 14.O46.
Even Bethmann-H ollweg's chief claim
to distinction, the constitution Of Alsace-
Lorraine, is a source Of only small salts
faction. 1t has added to the strength of
the parties who desire reunion with
France. and to offset this German con-
sentative voters have had to join forces
with the socialists.
Everything seems to show that the COM
ing elections will mean q revolution In
German politics. The blue-b black block Is
bound to lose its majority and there Is
small doubt that the national liberal
party will hold the balance Of power.

Think Government Stupid.


With the greatest energy, the opposition
has taken every possible advantage of the
present situation. Socialists and liberals
are hooking a government which has
acted so stupidity and created so much
unrest for mere negative results. and the
conservatives are furious, because they
are unable to defend their government
But the increased cost Of living will
prove even more disastrous to the pres
ent system. and drive thousands Of voters
into the opposition camp. For years the
people Of Germany have complained Of
the high prices of agricultural products,
and they have now become firmly con-
WINGED that these are almost exclusively
due to the tariff. The argument Of the
conservative parties that indirect taxa
ton is never felt has lost its power to
convince any one in Germany.
The last by-elections plainly show the
direction in which the wind Is blowing
When the government put OF the general
elections until January 1t was with the
hope that the people would forget the
new taxes in their JOY at the anticipated
diplomatic victories over France, which
failed to materiaiize. Everything seems
to have conspired against the govern
ment, even the weather.
