VORWARTS CONCERNING TT
 NEW NATIONAL PARTY.

The Socialist organ writes. in its issue of october IS:
 There is no further room for doubt. if ever any exister, that the new party takes its stand opposite to the ReichstaE majority, not with a view to healing differences of opinion. but with the deliberate intention of sowing dissentiOn. The latest war cry uttered against Kuhlmann's Alsace- Lorraine speech proves that the op- position of the new party will be equally directed against the govern ment's foreign policy. A government, therefore, which permits such a party openly to pursue its ends becomes c laughing stock. We personally have a very short answer for the new party: Where the true ma jority of the Ger man people rests can not be proved by the utterances of a party press, subsidized and advertised by war proflteering funds, not by organized demonstrations of 4,o00 out of the 4,50O,0 inhabitants of Greater Ber- lin. The fact of where the true ma jority rests will come out at the polls at the next general election, to which, in spite of all the national party's shrieking we look forward with the greatest confidence"

His younger brother and he remained | together. The two set up bachelor quarters in the old Wallace block. Together the. boys worked when they worked and played when they did play. They gained no notoriety except with the landlord of the block, who said they were the noisiest chaps he had had experience with. Tenants complained that the young men made unearthly noises at and 3 o'clock in the morning. But when the room was searched there was nothing found to warrant Justification for the tumult except a few cobblestones. 1 The boy "Gerve," so called by the l family and the few intimates he had, was in the habit of using an old broomsitck and stones for dumbbells, which would occasionally drop on the floor.
 i The future aviator was an inveterate exerciser. He was somewhat of a prize wrestler and sometimes engaged 1 in bouts with the talent of the town, but more frequently with his younger brother, now a baker in New Haven.

AUSTRIAN AIMS AS DEFINED BY
 A SOCIALIST DEPUTY.

Ia the course of a recent debate in the Vienna Reichsrat the Czech So- cialist leader, Stransky, violently at tackled Germany and sharply criti-
 cized Count CzerHin's peace program.
 Referring to Germany, Stransky said it was the fatal desire for the pre- dominance, of the German nationality in Austria which had brought on war.
 But for that the concessions offer ed by Serbia would have been con- sidered sufficient. Europe would stand Q stronggGermaHy, but not two strong German empires side by side, govern ed from Berlin.
