I GERMANS DIVIDE
81 MILLION VOTES
Majority for Any Presidential
Candidate in First EIec-
ton Is improbable.
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, March 2S.-Seven candi-
dates representing all shades and cat
egories Of German postwar politics
will contend for the suffrage of more
than 100000 votes at tomorrow
first popular election for a president
to succeed the late President Ebert.
Conflicting political currents, re-
reflected in the variegated list of
aspirants, have found ample express
sion in a veminous manner in the
campaign that closed tonight, and
which was fought out for the most
part on paper. Popular interest in
tomorrow's election has been mark ID
for the past few weeks by lukewarm-
| ness, If not indifference.
Party Votes Likely.
Tomorrows vote is expected to re-
fleet an inclination to vote straight
party tickets rather than to give ex-
preston to personal choice for any
one of the candidates.
If the returns approximate those
of last Defenders elections to the
Reichstag. when there was a party
lineup similar to that at this first
presidential election. the voting to-
morrow will terminate in a dead heat.
DIR. Jarres, the common standard
bearer of the Nationalist and con-
sentative bourgeois classes, and who
is the hope of German die-hards. is
conceded 100000 votes in pre-elec-
ton estimates. But this number will
not be sufficient to insure his election.
Distribution of Votes.
The candidates of the three liberal
parties, Otto Baum, Socialist; ex-
chancellor Marx, Centrist, and Prof.
Hellpach, Democrat. will Jointly poll
about 100000 votes. assuming that
they are able to retain their COM
bIned vote of December 7. At least
100000 votes, 1t is believed, will be
cast for the three remaining candi-
dates, Ernest Thalmann. Communist;
Premier Held of the Bavarian peoples
party, and Gen. Ludendorff. the Fascist
champion.
Within IS days after tomorrow's
election nominations for the final
balloting on April IS must be filed
with the federal commissioner of
elections. 1t is now viewed as in
evitable that completely new line
up of candidates, limited to two or three
will figure in the final balloting. The
three liberal parties, Socialist, Centrist
and Democrats. will be forced in self
DEFENSE 10 pool thelr poiltlcaI 1or-
tunes by uniting on a joint candidate
in order to present solid front to
the Nationalist and the Conservative
bourgeois element.
Although the latter declare that DR..
Jarres will enter the final race, there
Is strong probability that he will
give way to Chancellor DR.. Hans
Luther or possibly to Minister of De-
Tense DR.. Otto Gessler, both of whom
it is believed would prove stronger
candidates.

Says Tailor Bird
Taught adam and
Eve HOtU to Se,U

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 15.-Adam and
Eve learned to sew by watching the
tailor bird spin its nest, in the Opin-
ion of Sir John Bland Sutton, cele-
brated British surgeon.
Sir John explained that surgeons
still were searching for the perfect
stitching material for wounds, and
asserted that birds, plants, insects
and animals had been studied with
the view of finding the ideal sub
stance.
"In India, Brazil and Asia Minor,
the mandibles of ants have been
used from remote times as clips for
closing the edge of wounds. which
are. pressed together and the ant
applied by means of forceps," said
Sir John. "The ant separates its
mandibles for defense, and as the
insect is brought to the wound il
seizes the edges and remains fixed
The body of the ant, antiseptic by
virtue of the formic acid normally
present in ants, is divided with
scissors, leaving the mandibles grasp
ing the edges OF the wound"
