THE SOCIALISTS IN GERMANY


Virtually the only political party in Germany
that Americans know about from newspaper read
ing are the Socialists. OF the six or seven other
parties lin the kaiser's dominion, nothing much is
ever known outside of the Central Powers.
And at present, in the midst of war, the Socia-
list party OF Germany is more prominent than ever
sefore. To them, it seems, is given the possibility
# forcing their rulers to consider terms Of peace.
The power OF the Socialists in Germany is trenaen-
~tous-they comprise the strongest single party
Ind the only way to defeat them in the reichstag
5 to combine other parties. When aligned with
he strike fever, as seems a fact, nothing inside
he Cermanic empires is so likely to bring the
ulers to their senses.
1t is undoubted that the Socialists in Germany
re working for democracy. They cannot go
bout it in an open manner; but by following the
rinciples OF opposition to centralized power and
eeping up a continual propaganda for curtail-
.nent of the privileges of junkerdom and the aris-
tocracy, they are indeed aiding the democratic
nations working toward the same ends with the
sword.
