the only permanent consistent, lnhas ging opposition force in this country
 German liberalism is in reality, such only in name. It's leaders are political ly purblind, weak kneed, invertebrates and genterally incompetent, and this has been one of the most effective causes of socialism attaining its present dimensions We have here another of those striking antitheses between theory and practice which are so re- markabe a feature of modern Germany Like every other science. that of politics has been studied down to it's very roots by German thinkers. They have laborlous- ly collected and sifted its data, and ex- tracted their pure essence by process of distilation. But the product remains a
 lesson for the class room and the lecture hall, and is but very imperfectly applied to the problems of practical politics. The main reason for this phenomenon is, no doubt to be found in the fact, that mem bership of the rechstag is an end in itself and opens up to the ambitious no pros poets of activity in the higher walks of public life. The chamber is thus the ref uge of aspiring mediocrity. and the first rate talent, in which Germany abounds seeks occupation and pre-emnence in the army and departmental services. the learned professions, industry or com merce.

 At these outside official dinners it was understood that no one was to be invited outside the Presidents official family.
 MT. Taft has found these restrictions somewhat rksome. He is a man who likes people and has nothing in common with St. Simon stylites the top of a pedestal has no attractions for him. He has there fore been in the habit of quietly dropping in on friends for a social evening much to the horror of those who stand out for precedent and would have the person of the President and his family hedged about with all the sanetity of the King and the royal family.

 Perhaps in matters of law he is. I anu not competent to judge, but in social mat ters he certainly Is not. Precedent pre- scribes that the President must keep him self aloof socially. He has been more apart from his fellow citizens in social affairs than even the King of England.

 It is because German liberalism is im- potent, unstable, vacuous, ineffective, be- cause it allows itself to be frightened by the stupid fable of the red peril and is unable to see that the socialists are at any rate pulling at the same end of the rope as itself, that many of those who sincere ly desire Fundamental reforms in the sys- tenn by which the country is governed, turn their backs upon it in disgust and give their votes to candidates of com munism. who at any rate want the same as themselves, even if only as a hait- way house to other and less delectable things.

EUROPEAN WAR
 IS PREDICTED Germany, England and
 France Involved TURKISH DESPOTISM Russian Exclusion of Salvation Army Is Receiving Severe Criticism. Italy Making sPeace Ad-
 vances to Turkey
By FREDERICK WERNER

| Berlin, January 20. Especially While we, here in Germany, are inclin-
 ed to believe that the recent Franco
 German agreement in regard to Moroc-
 co marks the beginning of an era of
 peace and good will between the two
 countries, people in France are much
 less optimistic. The French paper. La
 Patrie," recently asked number of
 prominent Frenchmen to express their opinion of the probable effects of the
 agreement, and the replies are anything
 but encouraging, most of the celebrities
 asked being convinced that France Is
 running great risks of being drawn
 into war by the growing Anglo German
 rivalry.
 The Marquis de segonzac. for one,
 does not regard war between France and Germany as inevitable per sc, as he
 trusts to the Kaiser's prudence, but he
 thinks that war between Germany and
 England is "an economic fatility," and
 that France vii not remain a simple locker on.
 M. Andre Le Pon replies that these questions should more amply be ad-
 dressed to the English. M. Paul Adam considers the treaty a snare, which sooner or later will bring France into war, and that as war between England and Germany Is certain, she will be drawn in. General Mairot, a distin-
 guished retired officer, says: War was
 probable before the agreement; now it | is inevitable" while "as for the con | fiict between England and Germany.
 no one doubts that it will take place." M. Flourenes answers: I"If war Is to
 come out of Anglo-Germany rivalry.
 it seems impossible that we shall not be dragged in" M. Gustav Le Bon
 writes: "If all wars were founded on interests, we should not have one with
 Germany; as they are founded on fesl- Ing, we shall ont avoid it." Madame Juliette Adams replies: q think our country in danger" but adds that when Frances ceases to regard Germany as inVincible and to lend her loyalty to England, she will conquer on the mili- tary and diplomatic fields. Lastly, Comte Henry de la Vaulx that high au- thority on aviation, answers: "The only thing that l can say is that, if a Enro- pean conflagration should break ont We may not be sufficiently armed with
 respect to arial navigation as regards aeroplanes or dirigibles." He thinks that dirigibles have been sariflced in trance to aeroplanes, while, on the other hand, the Germans have paid due
 attention to both. "Fhey have also

 uosity which Is not generally known

In diplomatic circles here this rumor was current immediately after the new year, that semi official represen- tatives of the Italian government at Constantinople had tried to make peace oVertures to the Turkish government am in a position to state now that these rumors were true.
 The Italian government has at least found courage to look squarely into the face of debts and conceded that Italy Is unable to carry through the conquest of Tripoli without enormous sacrifices of blood and money and there fore chose to make steps towards off cial peace negotiation at time when in spite of the daily routine reports or Italian victories. nothing was really happening in the theatre of war.
 The Italian government now wishes the war ended at the earliest moment and had even hoped to see the end of 1t before the expira tion of January, but in Constantinople the statesmen were far less eager for peace. though the unsettled condition of Turkish do- nestle politics will undoubtedly be a factor in favor of Italy's proposals.
 With typical German thoroughness, we are at present endeavoring to dis cover the reason of the continuous growth of socialism in Germany. pain fully demonstrated to us by the recent elections, and unabiased observers come to the conclusion that hundreds of thousands of German voters who give their support to the socialistic party, not because they sympathize with it In every or even the principal issues. but because German conversation is repulsive to every intelligent person outside the provileged classes, and be- cause the socialist party is after all
