The stabilized condition of Austria
today shows what the good will of
the world can accomplish for a coun-
try seemingly doomed to dissolution.
Or course, Germany's problem is OF

today is assuredly nationaliStic.
Socialism as preached by Marx and
practiced by bolshevists and COM

Non socialist humanity is proud and
jealous of its right to organize into
national states. This right, which is
surely divine, has been denied the

Bavaria being a storm center, the
Bavarfan government proclaimed

eral commissioner, invested with ex-
ceptional powers. The next day mar
tial law was proclaimed in all Ger
many. Kahr, former prime minister,
and violently opposed to all forms
of socialism, stands for pronounced
Bavarian governmental powers. This
brings him into opposition with all
organizations subject to the author

Forced to Change Stand.
The revolution of 1918 forced the
socialists to abandon internationalism
and to pledge themselves to the new re-
public they themselves had erected in
place Of the old empire. Only the conf
munists remained faithful to the doc
trines OF Marxism.> Trade unions, So
cialist as well as Christian, carried on
passive resistance shoulder TO shoul-
der in the Ruhr, In an effort to main
tain Germany's unity and to save the
Rhineland. Surely this was a far cry
from the socialists who before the war
had not recognized the fatherland.
In spite of this striking proof OF
patriotic feeling, the extreme national
lists declared war on socialism as
whole without discrimination, accusing
all socialists of treachery and of being
injurious to the common welfare. 1t
is fact that with the exception of
Cuno's, every cabinet since November
1918 contained socialist members who
strongly influenced the governments
policy, and It is no longer secret history
that the last five years shows a steady
decline. 1t Is very difficult to determine
whether the decline is due more to So
cialistic shortcomings or the hopeless
ness of the foreign situation for which,
practically, Poincare and his followers
bear the sole responsibility.
Government means authority and
authority means real-not fictitious
power. The treaty left the German

Falling OFF in u. S.

WashingtOn.-The horse has de-
creased In numbers in the world at
large about II per cent in the last ten
years, according to figures made pub
lie by the Department Of Agriculture,
which show a falling off in the total
in So countries from 116,5OO,0OO to

The decreases occurred largely in
Russia, where the decline was nearly
so per cent, and in the United States
where the total has dropped from 3d.
145, 900 in 1914 to 2O,559,OOO Russia's

In connection with the figures, how
