GERMANS GIVE UP THE PIPE
Paper Smokes Gain In Favor and Sta
tlstics Show That Ten Times
as Many Are Used.

Berlin.-The typical pipe of the
German IL passing out and giving
place to the cigarette in spite of the
devotion Of the older Germans to
their pipes or penny cigars.
Statistics just published show that
the number of cigarettes consumed
has increased more than tenfold
since 1897, when the billion mark was
passed, the figures being for 1907,
20,000,000: for 1908, S,69S. 200, 900;
for 1909, 9,5OS,OOOOOO, and for 1911,
100000, These figures include
the stamped hulls used by persons
who prefer to make their own ciga-
-ettes but who are not allowed to
escape the cigarette tax, and they
show that the consumption has al.
most doubled in the last five years.
Assuming 100000 adult male
smokers in Germany, this gives an
average consumption per smoker Of
go cigarettes year. The great bulk
of these are cigarettes of the cheapest
sort, 81 IL per cent Of those sold in
1911 retailing at IL pfennigs (three
for a cent? or under and 35.7 per cent.
falling in the next grade, retailing at
IL pfennigs apiece. All In all, the
German smoker, it is estimated, burns
up 250,000,000 marks. $62.500.O in
cigarettes annually.

FOUR WOULD BE SPEAKER
Illegal Registrations Cause Reslena
tlon Of Kaempf-Another Election
ls Planned In Germany.

Berlin.-The German imperial par
lament has made a record in the Sc
lection of speaker by having four
contests for the position.
The third speaker this session, DR.
Johannes Kaempf, has resigned his
seat on account of doubt cast on the
validity of his election.
DR.. Kaempf was elected as a radical
from the first district of Berlin by a
majority OF only nine out OF a total
vote of over 1000. His Socialist op-
ponent, Editor S. Dwell, demanded a
recount, which reduced DR.. Kaempf's
majority to six, but also showed 16
cases Of doubtful registration. The
reichstag committee on elections de-
cided to investigate these. AS the Ger
man practice assumes that all illegal
ballots were cast for the successful
candidate, DR.. Kaempf anticipated an
adverse report Of the committee by re-
signing, in order to stand again be-
fore parliament reassembles. His So.
cialist opponent In the election again
was Editor Dwell, and as Colonel
Gaedke, the well-known military wri-
ter, also ran again on the Democratic
ticket, a second ballot will be re.
quired.
Dr. Kaempf was elected president in
succession to the clerical leader, DR..
Martin SPAIN, who resigned rather
than sit with the Socialist vice-presi.
dent, Philip Scheidemann. After an
unsteady six weeks tenure OF office,
made notable by Emperor Williams
refusal to receive DR.. Kaempf as presi'
dent, third election was held, at
which Dr. Kaempf retained the presi.
dency, but Vice-President Scheide.
