whatever time remains is devoted to-
the younger pupils Upon leaving

mence their struggle for maintenance
With knowledge and experience which
they have acquired under the splendid
supervision Of the tuning teacher.

GERMAN REVOLUTION
IS real POSSIBILITY
Modem Conditions Favorable for Up.
rising that Will Bring Democracy.

By DR.. CHARLES SAROLEA,
distinguished Belgian scholar, graduate
Of the University of Liege, editor of
Everyman, and author.)
toopynsht lsr1. BY International News servics,
Publicists Of the world have naiatained
a conspiracy of silence on the coming
German revolution because they are
afraid to conjure up q sinister spectre
and because they are repelled by q DIFF
ncult and delicate subject. But there
may be another and a more plausible
reason for their silence. namely, that
most people simply cannot believe In the
very possibility of a German revolution.
Ana II you press them to state their
definite reasons for such a belief, you will
probably find that all the arguments
given ultimately come under the four
following heads:
!. Militarism and reaction are too deep
ly rooted in Germany.
z revolution is impossible under
modern considerations of warfare.
!. The serial democrats, the so-called
revolutionary party, have themselves re-
pudiated revolutionary methods,
& The German temperament has not
the Initiative tho residence which are
the prime conditions of a successful rev.
olution.
when the conspiracy Of lies and the
conspiracy Of silence come TO an end.
when the diplomatic intrigues when the
pan-Germanic plot are revealed in their
naked and hideous horror, It win be clear,
even to the bHndest and dullest German
mind. that this war was waged neither in
detense or national existence nor in de-
fense Of national interests.
Modern conditions are more favorable
to the prospects of a popular rising than
they were. say in 1879, in 1S4S. or in 1871
The insurrection OF the people of Berlin
In 1sts nearly succeeded in establishing
German democracy. The proudest of

power, was humbled to the dust

.NEWSDEALERS DEMAND
2-CENT NEWSPAPERS
Threaten Strike if Price Is Not Raised
by Publishers.

New York. April e.-After seeing most
Of their profits disappearing because of
the high cost Of living and finding them
selves struggling for bare existence.
newsdealers are demanding an increase
in the price of newspapers from / to 2
cents in order that they may make
some profit. That they intend to have
the publishers grant this increase was
disclosed last evening at a meeting Of
the United Newsdealers' and Stationers'
Protective Association OF Brooklyn.
The dealers intend to present their
demands to the publishers who have not
yet expressed their willingness to grant
the INCREASE, and II the increase does not
become general then they intend to
strike.
The question of an increase was warm
ly discussed and some OF the members OF
the association were in favor of an imme-
dIate strike on the part of the news
dealers, who would then refuse to handle
the one-cent newspapers, but upon the
advice Of William Merclan, editor of the
National Newsdealer and Stationer, the
association postponed the threatened
strike until q more opportune time, when
the nswsdealers Of the country will be
organised and able to handle strike
against the publishers OF the penny pa
pers.
send representatives to the national con-
vention, which Is to be held in Manhat-
tan next month. when the question OF
forming a national organization will be
taken up. The newsdealers have now a
metropolitan association. but It IL not
well organized and the dealers do not
know the extent of its power. B. Frank
Williamson. president OF the associauon'
presided at the meeting.

MACE BEATS SLASHER SLACK
First Of Enelishman's Long Series Of
Victories Which Made Him Cham.
pion Of the World.

Jcm Mace defeated Slasher Slack
In nine rounds mt Mildenhall, England,
on October ., 1855. This was the
first of Mace's long series of victories
which made him the champion of the
world and the greatest boxer of his
time. About four years before Mace
had met Licker Pratt In the ring, but
Pratt was an experienced fighter and
much heavier than Jem, and the lat
ter got good trouncing. Before that
time Mace had travelled over England
playing the violin and giving sparring
exhibitions ut country fairs, and his
experience with Pratt did not encOur-
age him to keep on as pugilist. Sew
eral years passed before he again tried
his luck In the arena, and his victory
over Slack determined him to take
up fighting as profession. Mace
had gypsy blood In his veins, although
he was not full-blooded son of Rom
any, rs has been alleged. Small for
heavyweight, his science and skin
enabled him long to maintain his SUI
premacy among the big fellows of Eu-
rope and America.
