MicM mnn, socialist louder,, in the rnicli- wtnff, says in tlio sucinlist nowspnper Vorwaerts : "It does not require many words to explain why almost the whole world is arrayed njrainst us. 'flic answer is iven quickly. The whole world sees among our enemies more or less developed forms of democ racy nnd in us it sees only Prus sians. "Wo have always nnswered by re ferring to the absolutism of Kussin, but now cznrisin has none and the emperor's successor is to accept the throne only if the representatives of the people nftreo. These representa tives arc to be elected on the basis of universal, . cqunl, direct and sceiet suffrage. "In Asia the empire of tlio mnn darines opposed every reform. They iluriiis opposed every reform. They power, as long as he did their will and thereby undermined the mon archy and laid the foundations of a republic. In the Kuropcan central empire similar spirits seek to build similar Chinese, walls and binder every reform. The clock shows five minutes to twelve. They imagine they bold up the llinOiwhen they niovo the bunds back to eleven. "Why docs the chancellor shrink hack now from unconditional neces sity f Always the hesilutor, the procrnstinntoij, Hethmann-IIollwop;, wants to be in to cure Prussia after tlio war. Jtussia also promised nil reniorms after tho war, but the war lasted too long for the Russians. Why postpone till tomorrow what is ab solutely necessary today, what even the king himself hns declared was one of tbo most urgent matters of the business of tho sfatcf Now is the time for decisive action. Tho dif ficulties which might arse if the gov ernment adopts tlio rcchslug system of elections for Prussian elections mo as a featherweight as compared with the difficulties which will come if it does i)ot do this. The chancel lor should not delay oiid day. The Prussian people, ns well as the other (terman stales, will stand as one man by his side if ho acts decisively." s AT ATWIiDEEN, Wash. March 20.

Eight other men who escaped ot tho same time have been captured by companies of marines nnd the Phila delphia police. These nro in addition to the seven who were reported last night ns having failed to escape. Fourteen men were concerned in the attempt to escape. Officials feel certain that the dash was known to the German officers and that the men, led by Lieutenant Chorth, made it with the sanction of the comman ders. Four men were captured while Attempting to leave their ship. The crews of the Kronprinz Wilhelm nnd tho Pritiz Eilbel Friedrich were at once mustered nnd it was found that the lieutenant and nine men were missing. Compnnies of marines were at once dispatched in pursuit, the police reserves nnd civil authorities aiding in the chase. How the eight taken were found, the preliminary report did not show and it does not show what evidence there is to sup port the supposition that the lieuteu nut nnd one mnn were drowned.

Tho Germans left many relics behind to show their occupancy of the French military barracks. In some of the rooms Christmas trees, gaily decorated with the tinsel were still standing. It was strange to find in some of the shattered nnd inrtly burned houses remnants of ehildrens' toys, including doll car riages nnd bits of dolls themselves. These toys had been left behind with nil oilier household belongings when the French inhabitants first fled be fore the German invaders. In some of the finer residences the libraries had been wrecked, the books torn to pieces and scattered in 'the streets. The Germans had left several foot bridges ncoss the Somme which were apparently intact, but on, closer ex amination showed that fnlse sections had been inserted which gave way at the first foot pressure. The cor respondent, investigating one of these bridges too closely, had an icy bath in the ijoinme.
