new tcntlmony which will throw a
paw light on the case and It will
come from an angle that they little
suspect."

of unspeakable meaning. She prom
ised that when the trial which begins
Monday Is over, the public will have
an opportunity to change the In
presslon of her which it has had for
a number of years.

VICTORY MEANS WAR
Kaiser Sees Danger of His
End As Ruler of
Empire
Call Issued for Reichstag and Indi
cations Are That "Reds' Will
Have Good Majority,
Berlin, Jan. 23. Reballoting for
undecided seats In the reichstag.
which commenced yesterday, contin
ued today and will be completed to
morrow. While the socialists are cer
tain of many additional seats, per
haps enough to bring their represen
tation up to a hundred, the other
radical parties have lost, and the
Conservative-Center Blue-Black block
seems certain of continuance.
The unuttered but generally under
stood threat that the kaiser would
attempt to Involve Germany in war
If the socialists were victorious has
doubtle.-s had Its effect on the result.
While the German-Social democrats
stand for the Immediate abolition of
Warfare, the Immediate reduction
and eventual disbandment of the ar
my and navy, there Is little doubt that
if they ever gain control of the
Reichstag there will soon be anend
of peace in Europe. .
Only a "patriotic" war. It Is be
l'eved, could Bave the monarchy in
the event of a "red" victory. Thus
the victory of a party standing for
world-peace would likely bring on
one of the most desperate conflicts
in history.
Cull for Reichstag.

was issued today. From all indica
