A Monarchical "'Putsch" Predicted.

A week from next Wednesday, June
%, may be a day of violent disturb
ance in Germany, according to Ber.
lin socialist newspaper, which prints
an article stating that a pan-German
"putsch'' has been planned for that
day. which is the anniversary of the
signing of the treaty Of Versailles. A
"putsch'' is concerted, pre-arranged
movement for political object. Kapp,
who died the other day, made one
when he tried to re-establish the
monarchy about two years or so ago.
Another monarchical drive is predict
ed now, and treaty day is said to have
been chosen for the effort, or at least
for demonstrations to test out the
sentiment of the people. The Berlin
paper calls upon all socialists to be on
guard against any such movement.
Evidence that there is Something
doing" in Germany is not lacking. Ex-
ira precautions have been taken to
guard President Ebert when he visits
Bavaria, and Chancellor Wirth is also
now specially guarded. in view of
threats against him. Hindenburg and
Ludendorff have recently been tour

SHOOTING STARS.

Greetings From Mars.

Greetings From Mars.
And If I could communicate
With some one up in Mars,
Defying distances SO great
Up yonder 'mongst the stars,
+ wonder what strange things he'd tell
What mysteries reveal
OF motives new, man to compel;
New ways to think and feel.
Yet greetings are about the same
'Mongst men both far and near,
And if some vibrant message came
From that long distant sphere
The speaker, hidden from our view,
Might be content to say
In friendly accents, "Howdydo!
It's very warm today.
