PROMISING PROSPECT
FOR STABLE REGIME
Returns from German Elections Indi-
cate That Moderate Party Has
Control of Reichstag

PARIS, Jan. 2l-Daily returns from
the German elections are interpreted TO
signify promising prospect for the
establishment of fairly stable Ger
man administration at an early date.
The majority socialists and the German
democrats who are the successors of the
old radical party apparently will so
into the constituent assembly with a
big lead over the independent socialist.
Friedrich Won Payer, former vice
chancellor and leader of the Democrats,
and the Socialist Leaders Ebert and
Scheideman demonstrated their ability
10 work together in the old reichstag.
They can also count on the Centrist
leader, Fehrenbaeh, as an ally in their
efforts to institute government with
basis of popular support.
This confirmation is regarded in all
allied circles here as an indispensable
preliminary to any peace negotiations.
The coming into power of these groups
will mean the continuation of the
present armistiee commission and prob
able appointment of Scheidemann, Won
Payer and Fehrenbach or Erzberger as
the leading members of the German
peace delegation.

DEATH RATE IN CAMPS HIGHER
Chiefly Due to Spread of Influenza
Among Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l-Some idea OF
the high mortality from influenza among
troops in camps for the six months period
ended Dec q was shown yesterday in a
report by the surgeongeneral of the army
The epidemic did not get a considerable
feothold before the latter part of Septem
her, and the death rate for the sS
months rose to 32l5 a thousand per an
m,m from all causes. The rate from in
huenza and pneumonia was 30.07 a thou
sand.
During rehabilitation, the report says
it may be expected that relatively higl
rates win continue, as only well men ar.
discharged, the sick being retained in thu
army indefinitely for treatment.
