England states is the election scheme
in Germany. In some districts there
are hut a few voters while in others
there are hundreds of thousands.
With the actual power concentrated
in the hands of SO few Of the German
people, the difficulty of binding the
whole people TO any agreement is evil
dent. The rumors of revolution to
bring about more equal conditions
probably are correct The effort to di-
vide the empire into a northern and a
southern Germany promises to succeed.
This probably would Re followed by an
effort on the part of the southern di-
vision to escape the penalties that the
war program of the northern section
has forced upon them
So it viii be seen that Germany is
not able under present conditions to
make binding agreement for peace OF
| compensation for the terrible attroci
ties il has committed. To reorganizt
and establish a stable government that
| can be responsible is tremendou,
task to be accomplished by the time
the allies have their demands formu
lated and treaty of peace drafted Blu
1t must be done if democracy is to b,
made safe in the world.

GERMAN DIFFICULTIES.

Few people in America realize the
difficult position in which the German
people are. They are facing the neces,
sity Of signing a treaty of peace which
undoubtedly viii contain more severe
conditions than the German nation has
ever submitted to and will be asked TO
pay the heaviest indcmnities that have
ever been required of a nation. They
are without an executive head TO their
government who should be the party 10
negotiate treaties, and without a rep
rcsentatiye legislative body 20 enact
the Will of the people into law Prus-
I STA is still the predominant power in
the federation constituting the German
empire and Prussia is predominated by
the military authorities of the land. 1t
will be difficult to get the military
powers to sign a treaty that means
their extinction and still more difficult
for any government that may assume
control Of the empire to get the people
to fulfill the severe pledges it VIII he
obliged to make to the allied powers
or council of nations, if one is formed
It is already announced that Great
1 Britain will demand an indemnify OF
forty billion dollars and France Il much
larger. one. Then devastated Belgium
will have heavy restitution for the
atrocities committed upon her people
The German army viii be reduced t.
a police power; the German navy al
ready has been practically eonfseated
To fulfil such drastic conditions there
should be a government strongly sup
ported by public will but there is nc
such government and little prospect OF
its creation.
Suffrage is very unequal in thai

age of twenty-five has the right t.

A HOSPITAL CIRCUS.

'The circus was in the CITY," said
Daddy, land every day the circus peo-
pie and the animals had performed for
thousands and thousands of children
and many, many grownups.
This city had seen this same circus
often before. and most of the tricks
and most of the performers We're just
the same. but no one cared about that.
for a circus is circus and we are all
quite willing to see one once a year,
eh?"
I'VE most certainly are said
Nancy.
Il agree" said Nick.
1.-THE circus people thought it would
be nice to give an afternoons perform
ance to children who weren't able to
afford the money to pay for a circus.
OF course all couldn't get TO the circus
even then, but the circus people tried
10 let as many as possible see it quite
free.
"'You know said one of the clowns.
that l think 1t would be good idea if
some morning when we haven't any
performance and no parade and no
practice performance, if good many
Of us went 10 one of the big hospital
yards and performed for the children
who can't get out and see us.
"'Well, said another clown, that
is good scheme. Wen have to see
what can be done about it.
And so they talked to the managers
of the circus. and the managers talked
70 the heads of big city hospital
where there were lots and lots and lots
Of children who were sick.
Fine, fine said the hospital peo-
pie. Wen keep 1t as a big surprise
for all our little patients.
and the clown grinned, a perfectly
natural grin, and not nearly as wide q
/ grin as we're used to seeing at the cir
Gus, for he hadn't any of the white on
his face, nor the red on his mouth But
! it was happy, satisfied grin.
I'm so glad he said that they will
arrange it for u.s. he said. Now l must
/ see the other performers who are com
ing too for the circus managers had

and that the clown whose idea it was
could manage it if he wanted to.
HE was delighted 10 manage it, for
though 1t meant much extra work for
him, he kept thinking of the laughs he
would hear from the hospital children
and he thought to himself that they
would be the best laughs in the world
AT last the day came for the circus
people to go to the big hospital. The
day was clear and the sun was shining
They had to wear extra wraps
the hospital patents-sO that the all
would not do them any harm. The
children had been told that they were
going to have a surprise which they
would see in the big hospital yard.
They couldn't possibly guess what
1t wns going TO be. They finally de

ana rnar they woulo near gay tunes
and the monkey might come up and
talk to them.
They were all ready. Every little
child was either in a balcony bed or
in a wheeled chair. Some of them
were lame from bad falls and were 60
ing to be made all well some day;
others had been i'll with different
things so that they all had to be in the
hospital.
"They waited only a little while,
when through the big doors of the
large hospital yard there came a pa
rade-a real circus parade.
"And then the circus band struck up
a fine tune and the clowns marched
