For the benefit of readers who may
be interested in German politics, here
id a resume of the political parties
im.w active in Germany, ns compiled
and explained by tint London Times.
There are eight of them, all of whom
recently put up candidates for the na
tional assembly. They are listed as
follows;
Tho Mnjorily Socialists, headed by
Kbert unci cheidemanu;
Th Independent Socialists, headed
by Haase, l.edcboiir and ltarlh;
The Spartacus group, followers of
Ucbkiu'cht and Rosa Luxemburg;
The German llemneratic party, rep
r seated by Stroemaun, mainly Na
tional Liberals;
The German National IVnple's par
ty with. Von Kardoff, largely Conserv
atives; The National Pcmocrats, consisting
of iMungctds Republicans;
Tlie rive-German People's party, a
survival of the old Center party.
Of all these parties tho fiivt-named

These two are moderately intelii
Kihle in their ptilieiejj and leadership.
The rest, even as k -oeriU'd by the
Times, seem to constitute a dim, uhn

divisions of membership and shades
of opUiion aiiii influence that mean
nothing to an outsider. t

niovenient was mar b great a climax
Tvorybody recognized that prohibition
sentiment had grown rap inly dunnf

the dry column. Sil1, .some states'had
refused last year to step hito line.
Among the latter w;ls California

trial communities, hitherto regarded
as naturally and permanently in fa
vor of the liquor traffic, have turned
against it. States with big cities have
yielded about as completely as states
with small urban populations. Self-
interest failed to interfere. "Whisky
slates'' like Kentucky, beer-manufac-tm'jng
slates like Ohio and Wisconsin
and Missouri, wine-growing states like
California, have voted dry along with
the rest.
Iiacial tradition nnd preference
seem to have exerted just ns little re
straining power. '"German" cities like
Milwaukee nnd Cincinnati and St,
I.ouis, and cities like Uoston und Chi
cago, with large mixed foreign popu
lations accustomed to moderate drink
ing, have gone the way of more typi
cally American communities.
How explain it? The Tribune, even
while culling it a mystery, suggests

There is. It is n current so strong
that even state legislators, uplifted ns
