Bethmann-Hollweg urged that cleo
toral reforms should be put off until
after the war.
The growth of democracy is won
derfrl condition. Its benefits to the
world need no explanation. None can
deny that the present conflict is re-
sponsible for the wave of popular
rule which is engulfing the universe,
and if there can be benefits accruing
from wholesale slaughter, the rise of
democracy is the silver lining of the
giant war cloud.

Growth of Democracy.

None can doubt the horror of
bloodshed, heartaches, destruction
and wholesale death that follows the
wake of the world war, but even as
we shudder at the depressing results
it is becoming more apparent each
day that there will be at least one
result that will further civilization.
1t is the growth of democracy.
Russia, with an abruptness which has
startled the world, has already thrown
off the yoke of autocracy. Not the
slightest hesitancy marked the action
which moves that country toward the
status of a republic. At the begin
ming Of the war any one predicting
such a step would have been made an
object of ridicule, but the consumma-
tion of the event did not seem so
strange
+ Now Germany, the power of whose
government has never been question
ed, shows decided leaning toward the
voice of the people. The first step
occurred in the Reichstag recently
when by a vote of 277 to 38, a meas
ure providing for the appointment of
constitutional committee of 2S men,
bers, was adopted. The duties of this
new committee will be to revise the
constitution of the empire.
The keynote of the debate which
preceded the adoption was that it
was impossible for Germany to re-
main behind other great countries in
the march toward democracy. There
was but iittle hesitancy in the action
of the Reichstag. although Won
