KAISER MAY ORDER
ANOTHER ELECTION
Predommance of Socialists in
New Reichstag Causes
National Crisis.

By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph
BERLIN, January N.-Thoughtful Ger
mans are more concerned than they are
publicly admitting over tho astounding
predominance won by tho social de-
mocracy In the reichstag elections, which
came to an end this week.
The party which the government has
pillor1ed throughout the campaign as the
arch enemy Of the state" enters tho new
reichstag with 10 members and 10 now
the strongest individual body in parlia-
ment. 1t displaces from that position
the hitherto invincible Catholic center.
The kaiser has summoned tho new
reichstag to convene February 2. but II
would not surprise political Observers Il
the imperial chancellor's first appearance
in the house were to be marked by the
reading Of the imperial order dissolving
parliament for the purpose OF making q
fresh appeal to the country.
The government, Of course, even with
ITO socialists in the house, can carry on
business, but the majority on which II
has hitherto relied-the so-called BLACK
and blue combination" the conservative
and Catholic center-is too narrow foy
comfort.
IL such contingency as defeat OF
the forthcoming bills for an increase OF
the army and navy should arise through
the opposition Of the socialists, 1t is q
moral certainty that the reichstag would
be dissolved and new elections ordered.
Tactics Used by Bismarck.
Bismarck resorted to similar tactics In
1887, when parliament declined to pass his
military bills, and the result of his appeal
to the country was the smashing Of the
inrf fho ali n
house which ate out Of the iron chan
cellors hand.
Whether q new election win take Mace
mocracy has given every sensible Ger
man 'furiousIy to think
The facts which confront him are that
one-third Of the national electorate voted
Red. and that II Germany were not
gerrymandered in favor Of the ruling
caste there would, at this moment, be an
overwhelming socialistic majority in the
national parliament
The thing which foreigners need to re-
member is that the immense increase In
the socialist vote does not mean that the
Germans are becoming republicantzed In
sentiment Many thousands voted for
socialist candidates ut the recent elections
simply because socialism Is tho one Do
tent voice Of protestant opposition which
German politics offer.
People Want Reform.
The people want to reform, not destroy
the monarchy. They want to convert
the modern fatherland from semi
autocracy into . genuinely constitutional
state. They want q parliament which Is
responsible to tho electorate and not to
the kaiser. They want cabinets and gov
ernments which arc created by popular
will, not by imperial within.
This IL tho message which the nation
has just uttered at the polls. II remains
to be seen whether tho kaiser and the un-
compromising stalwaxts who mako up the
governing class will learn anything from
It II they do not, subsequent elections,
in the opinion Of the most intelligent
judges, will only increase the red flood"
until some day 1t will threaten to engulf
the throne itself.

Alarmed by Indebtedness.

The extravugant administration Of Now

Indebtedness which has at last awakened
the solvent portion Of the population to Q

is larger than that Of the national gov

The annual interest charge has reached
a figure in excess OF $4,000, 1900 q year,

observed They were apparently in

and travelling rapidly. AS the ship
met and passed them several flew on
board and were seized by the crew as
welcome additions to the mess. One
OF the fish measured 19 inches; the
largest flying fish ever seen before the
Ardeola's catch have never exceeded
10 inches. The big one was fried for
