points each. One OF the men he de-
feated was Fred Brust of Columbus,
o. former champion. May beat Brust
80 to 81. Mays final game was with
Joe Wilkinson, fellow townsman.
The two were tied for first place and
the tie was pitched off.
The pitching distance was forty
feet and the steel stakes were eight
inches high. Most of the throws were
ringers or leaners. Shoes that fell
farther than eight inches from the
stakes were not scored. Ringers
counted three points and the next
closest shoe one point.

was not less menaced from the radi
cal direction 1t had called in the
militarists to suppress the original
revolution, it had employed the old
military leaders to officer and organ
ize Noske's army. 1t had suffered
the representative OF the army to
assassinate Luxembourg, Liebknecht
and Kurt Eisner, and had made no
effort to bring the murderers to JUS
tice. 1t had raised no word of pro-
test to the massacre Of Independent
Socialists by machine guns.

jority Socialists, upon the Ebert
government, not merely as a sham,
but as the tool of the real enemy. the
Potsdam element, the tool which had
consented to shed the blood Of real
radicals and had permitted murder
and worse.
Thus, at one time, the Ebert gov
ernment became the target of the
elements and leaders in Germany
who favored a real democratic move
ment in the nation and Of the groups
and politicians who sought to restore
the old order. The radicals held
Ebert and his associates responsible

cape their responsibilities for max
ing a peace which was bound to be
disastrous.
But the transfer of power to the
Majority Socialists, with whom were
associated the Centrists-that is, the
Roman Catholic party-was in re-
atty little more than a resort to
window dressing. The Majority So
cialists during the war had slavish-
ly accepted the will Of the Junkers.
They had voted the credits for the
army; they had passively accepted
every militaristic proposal; they had
even shared in the responsibility for
the punishment Of the Minority So
cialists, men Of the stamp of Lieb-
knecht, who had courageously chal-
lenged the Prussian camarilla which
governed Germany.
To Suppress the Revolution
Moreover, the first domestic task
of the new German democratic gov
enment was to suppress the real
revolution which had broken out in
Berlin and elsewhere and threatened
to precipitate Bolshevist crisis. To
suppress this revolution the Majority
Socialists had to do two things
fight their fellow Socialists of the
minority and seek and obtain help
from their old Junker and reaction
ary enemies.
AS a consequence what followed
was bloody and violent repression
of the German revolution and the
murder Of such radical leaders as
Iiebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg.
Bolshevism and Communism-that
is, extreme radicalism-were beaten,
but in order to defeat them the Ma
jority Socialists were compelled to
put themselves in the hands of the
German army and Of the men Of
the Ludendorff regime, who repre-
sented the old Prussian spirit.
Noske, who had raised an army to
suppress the revolution, was hence
forth little more than a creature Of
the old Great General Staff.
Thus, using the Majority Social
lists as an instrument, the German
reactionaries promptly stified real
revolution. Nominally, Germany had
become a republic, nor were the re-
actionaries Immediately concerned
about the fate Of the\ Kaiser. But
actually the militarists had regained
power and checked the spread of
real democracy along with that revo-
luton which in the first days of
January, 1919, threatened to destroy
the old order in Germany. Even
before the Paris Conference assem-
bled the German Junkers had
avoided the immediate danger which

TT would hardly be an exaggera-
ton to say that the forthcon-
x ing German election may prove
the most important event in
Europe since the ar1nistice at
Rothendes. On the result depends
rot merely the fate of Germany, but
Of Central Europe. If the reaction
ary elements gain the upper hand,
then the hopes Of reconstruction, OF
an adjustment of war claims, OF CO.
operation with Germany in the task
of restoring Germany economically,
must be abandoned and Germany
will become again an acute menace
to all of her neighbors.
All things considered, it is mani
fest that the best the world can
hope for now in the German cleo
ton is the continuation in power
Of the coalition of Majority Social
lists and Centrists who have nomi-
nally, at least, governed Germany
since the collapse Of the Hohenzol-
lern regime in the first days of No
vember, 1918. The alternative is
a triumph for the elements Of re-
action, return Of the "old gang
and, thereafter, possibly, new civil
war in Germany and certainly grow
ing chaos in the relations between
Germany and her conquerors.
Result Is In Doubt
Unfortunately there is something
less than a certainty that the pres
ent coalition can hold. 1t has man
ifestly been losing ground for many
months, has, in fact, lost strength
in both directions, that is, to the ex-
treme left, which is radical, and to
the extreme right, which is reaction
airy. It's own approximate failure
has strengthened both the 1ndepend-
ent Socialists, who stretch off in the
direction of Bolshevism, and the
Junkers, who represent all that was
worst in the situation, before the
war.
An analysis of the causes of the
failure of the present coalition is
simple. When the Kaiser fed, the
army crumbled and peace had to be
made on any terms, that militarist
and Junker group which had con-
trolled the destinies Of Germany
during the latter stages of the war
turned over quite voluntarily to their
radical opponents the task of max
ing peace with the enemy. In this
abdication there were two motives
first, the purpose to seem to meet
the demand of President Wilson
that Germany should have a govern
ment representing the German peo-
pie, as a preliminary to an arml-
stice,. and second, the desire to es-

money l owed him, and he didn't
At Laredo l came across an old
ranchman one day who was driving
about the countryside with a horse
and buggy, treating himself to "a
vacation. He was going nowhere in
particular and was having a won
derful time on the way. He invited
me to join him.
There was no such word as worry
in my vocabulary in those days.
My ranchman friend had money, he
was a good fellow, and he was out
for a good time. In the bottom of
the buggy he kept leather bag
filled with Mexican dollars, and
when either of us needed money we
went to the bag. Never at any time
did he count the amount that was
left, and never did he bother to take
that bag out of the buggy. Driving
along the country roads all after
noon, we'd pull up at night at some
ranch or village inn, leave the horse
and buggy, the grip, and everything
else IN the stable and get out with
whoop.

Blamed the Civilians


The second step in the discredit-
ing of the democratic idea which
nominally controlled Germany
through the Majority Socialist Cen
trist government was the rapid
propagation of the idea that the
war had been lost not through the
defeat Of the army, not through the
failure of Ludendorff and his as
sociates, but because Of the collapse
Of the civilians behind the still un-
broken military front. Preposterous
as this assertion must seem to the
Allied world, which knows the ex-
tent Of Foch's victories in the late
summer and autumn of 1918, Luden-
dorff and his associates skillfully
built up the notion that the army
had been betrayed by the democratic
elements in Germany, who were thus
responsible for the terrible plight in
which Germany now found herself.
Meantime, the difficulties of the
Ebert government in the foreign
field served to increase it's embar-
