Heavy steps sounded slowly behind

parties would sweep the polls. But,
as it is, it is hard to get out 50 per
cent. of the vote except for the reich
stag. The Germans let we'll enough
alone. They will never overthrow
the antiquated German system of gov
eminent until they suffer from 1t i'm
measurably. If Germany should get
into a war and be beaten it might
result in a republic. If militarism
goes too far and demands too much
money from the people it might come
to a great popular uprising. And If
a great system Of graft were exposed
the people would demand a change.

Within the last week two wen-known,
beautiful, rich society girls. both
young, both popular, with all doors to

The fact is that we are no longer
