Some are SO sanguine as to believe that
seven out Of ten have been elected, but
this, as already said is altogether con-

back to the events leading to the Rev

Berlin, Jan. ia feeling Of impending
calamity seems 10 pervade the German
Fatherland. Again the war clouds loom
dark and food prices are soaring higher
and higher.
Especially among the classes from
which officers OF the two services and SUI.
perior civil officials are drawn one hears
it said with a fatalistic resignation that
the great conflict that is TO involve all
Europe in an unparalleled conhasraton
has only oeen postponed TIL the spring
because the present time of year is not
favorable to campaigning
Superstition plays no small part IN the
prevailing pessimism. There are even
people who think that Emperor William
will desire 10 signalize the twenty-hfih
anniversary Of his accession by some
grand spectacular military display on the
world stage. II need hardly be said. how
ever. that persons in AUTHORITY in this
country are rot actuared by superstition
or ruthless personal ambition.
The sense Of uneasincss with regard 10
the foreign situation is aggravated by
Germany's internal outlook. in the
Reichstag there sits a permanent rebel
force of 10 Socialists. and the Centre IS
TO all appearances meditating open parlia-
mentary revolt. ApprehenSions must al
ways be aroused in a country where the
wishes OF the population have no influence

The most ardent autoist in the House OF
Hohenzollern IS the young Prince Fred

damage done.
A remarkable incident occurred al u'e

ALFONSO SURPRISES
AND WINS ALL SPAIN
Kings Liberal Tendencies and
Attitude Toward Political
Parties Bear Fruit.
COUNTRY SEES A NEW ERA
Count Sanchez Toca Declares
the Old Reactionary System,
with It's Quarrels, Has
Had It's Day.


London. Jan. 2J.--Dispatchcs from
Madrid say that all Spain is both
greatly surprised and pleased by the lib
eral tendencies shown by King Alfonso
and his desire 10 conciliatc all political
parties and to bring all branches of
public opinion TO work for the good OF
the country and the general advance
mcnt Of Spanish interests.
The country was still under the in
nuence Of the surprise caused by the
Kings action i'm consulting recently
with the Republican leaders when. on
Thursday, he celebrated his birthday
by granting amnesty to all political Of
tenders.
Although the Ultra Conservatives. like
Senior Maura. late Premier, deplorc the
change. the Liberals and the Republi-
cans consider that they have gained a
great victory. u is generally felt that
I'm thus breaking through the reaction
AIRY traditions of the court the King
has opened the way for a new political
era which may result in tremendous
advantage for the nation.
King Alfonso has made it clear TO
several political leaders with whom he
has talked recently that in future all
political parties will be- freely consulted
by the throne. lie told Professor Az
carte, leader of the Republicans Social
list union. that in future crises even
anti-monarchists would be consulted.
lie held out lie hope that Cabinet posts
might bc given TO Republicans and So
cialists.
According 10 Count Romanones, the
new legislative programme to be sub
mitted at the next session Of the Cortcs
will include settlement of the religious
question and abolition of the law of
jurisdiction, according to which press
offences may be tried 10y court-martial.
Count Sanchez Toca is quoted in re-
cent interyiew'as saying:
The reconstruction of the Conserva-
tive party is imperative. II would be
suicide for us To persist in the present
conservative policies. The old rca =
tionary system. with its intrigues
struggles. quarrels and menaces, has
had its day. The present political stu
alton in Spain signifies the complete
defeat OF reaction as represented 10y
Senior Maura. Spain is abandoning her
empty quarrels and preparing 10 deal
with modern social and political prob
lens"
\ member of the Cabinet said: AS
far as | am concerned, the form of gov
eminent is a secondary consideration
Personally am a monarchist. but do
not believe in the necessity or useless
ness of a monarchic regime as a prin-
ciple. The religious question in Spain
is of secondary importance. The para
mount questions are educational re-
forms and the economic development OF
! the country. II the monarchists in
Spain succeed in settling economic
questions and achieving educational
reforms the Republican party will have
no reason for further existence"

Happy Times in United States.

We'll" added Miss Tempest, continu-
ing her address to the .. p. clubbers,
Il am tickled 10 death with the idea
of proposing the toast Of our Ameri-
can Cousins because some Of the hap
pieSt times of my life have been spent
in their country. They are IL theatre
loving nation. Their audiences are
warm hearted and quick to appreciate,
and a successful debut i'm New York
confers upon YOU the freedom of the
city automatically"
In the future. she predicted. London
must become still more generally the
starting point of circuit, which will
include New York, Chicago and San
Francisco.
James Carew, who responded to Miss
Tempests toast, contended that Ameri-
can plays that are rich in color. not
too foreign for. the English mind, are
interesting and amusing, and, treated
in fresh and novel manner. will al
ways have a lighting chance on the
London stage. IL was his firm belief
that in the near future the American
playwright, with his sense of human
nature, his deep feeling and his vital
jty. even though he was not often over
bl,rdened with scntimentality and
sometimes failed in construction, would
rank among the best.
