A GERMAN REVOLUTION.


James Gerard, former ambassador to Germany,
opines that the German police force is too efficient
to tolerate a revolution. The estimable Gerard
will admit, however, that the cars machine of
aristocratic bureaucrats also was considered too
efficient to tolerate a revolution.
Which indicates that the efficiency which is
a yoke upon the necks of the proetariat may
break-even in Germany.
4 A few Socialists in Germany have already sug-
gested a republic. How they do it without getting
hung. or imprisoned is proof that the autocratic
efficiency system isn't as all-powerful as it once
was. This in itself is a sign that a German re-
public may not be the dream it once was.

Secretary Tumulty After the
complete and definite statement which

necessary for me to say that there is

flimsy charges.
