ulate hostility to Germany with the
purpose Of creating demand for
Krupp material. II has been the prac
ticc, according to the Developments, for
the agents OF that great firm, to get
out war scares and TO incite interna-
tional bad feeling in order TO create
demand for war material and to boom
their sales. The business of these en-
ployed agents in France was 20 secure

articles in the French press, 70 or.

70 make, and in fact resulted in, in
creased orders by the German govern
mcnt for Krupp cannon and for i'm
provements in all sorts Of military
armament and supplies.
Despicable work this, aud it would
hardly have been supposed that a great
concern like the Krupps would have in
dulged in such mean and low practices.

the contrary, the trouble with us is di-

EsSAD PASHA'S SENSATION.

That is surely sensation which is
conveyed in the dispatches with regard
to Essad Pasha setting himself up as
king or prince of Albania. He has a
good-sized army, and he will join with
the army Of Djavid Pasha, giving him
really respectable force 10 defend
himself as such ruler Besides. so far
as the initial claim Is concerned, it has
been recognized where presented.
The other suggestion made in the ca
blegram. that the surrender of Skutari
b. Essad Pasha was a pre-arranged af.
fair; that the Balkan allies were made
aware Of the arrangement. and that the
marching out OF the garrison under
command OF Essad Pasha with their
arms. except the big guns in place, was
for tho purpose OF carrying out the ar
rangemeut as made, and that this ar
rangement probably includes the agree
ment Of the Balkan allies to recognize
Essad Pasha as prince of Albania.
This will add fuel 70 the flame Of
Austria s rage, for Il will be a complete
ousting Of Austria from all hopes of
any southwark extension, and the CON
solidation, il made as suggested, will
sound the knell Of Austria aspira-
tions.
That the arrangement, II made be
tween the Balkan allies. even though
Austria now eompels Montenegro TO
evaeuate skutari, would imply that the
evacuation Of Skutari would be but
temporary, and that the city would be
given up to Montenegro later on bv

make his reign over Albania complete.

There is no doubt but that Monte.

THE BELGIAN AGREEMENT.

The points gained by the managers
of the recent strike in Belgium arc not
Ialtogether clear in the public mind. IT
is stated commonly that the strikers
won great victory. II is very likely
that the victory they have won will at
least yield them part of their de-
mands; but when an industrial strike is
called for the purpose of obtaining po-
litical results and when that strike is
successful, it may indicate the entrance
of new era in political as we'll as in.
dustrial affairs, where compromises
and half measures are the rule. II the
labor unions of Belgium can get politi-
cal results by calling strike, doubt
less labor unions elsewhere will take
the hint and may also strike for politi.
cal ends that they wish to bring about,
AS to all this, however, the future holds
it, and the world must wait for develop
ments.
But what was it that the Belgian
strikers obtained7 Nothing immediate.
They struck against the law Of suf-
frage which provides favored classes
Of voters, as we explained when the
strike began; there being in Belgium
993, ,070 men who are entitled each to
cast one vote; sos, ,s66 who are entitled
to two votes each, and 30S,6S3 who are
privileged to cast three votes each. It
will be seen that the three vote men are
almost a standoff to the upwards of
three times their own number of men
who have ono vote each. The two-vote
men naturally rally to the support of
the three-vote men on all questions of
privilege, and so the two combined
cast almost double the number Of votes
that tie great majority of citizens cast
who are entitled to but one vote each
This was the political condition that
the strikers denounced, and their
strike was for manhood suffrage; one
vote for each male citizen. and but
one. The concession mado by the gov
ernment is an agreement to appoint an
e1tra-parliamentary committee to report
on the subject Of constitutional revision
with a special view to the considera.
ton of the demands made by the
strikers. The expectation is that under
this agreement the Belgian Parliament
might be dissolved by 1916, and the
new suffrage reform begin in and date
from that year.
At the same time it must be evident
to anyone who will consider the matter
even casually, that the extra .parlia
mentary commission proposed is not
likely to do anything radical The
probability is that the two-votc system
and three-vote system will be continued.
but probably in less offensive form
than at present, but still in sufficient
degree to control the elections in Bel
gium; for nothing has been promised
by the government contrary to this, At
the same time, IL the report of that
commission is not satisfactory, the same
means of bringing pressure upon the
government would be available as was
brought into use this year.
