Germany will put tho test of the multiparty system of democratic government on her elec tions to-morrow and thereby stake her Immediate peace. The Issue Is not whether the present coalition Government shall bu returned to power, but whether any conceivable and harmonious coalition can orsan Ize a ministry which can enjoy tho confidence of the Reichstag. The campaign has not been fought on Issues affecting Germany s for eign policy directly. The Conserva tives have tried to shift responsibil ity for Germany's deplorable condi tion on the coalition and the Radicals on tho reactionaries because of tho latter's war record. However, this has not evoked dlncusslcm, of the pro found problems of the immediate fu ture. The danper of an attempt to start another revolution has been empha sized by both extremes to the point of exaggeration and the discovery of alleged plots has become a dally oc currence. The latest of these was an article printed In the Freiheit yester day that Monarchist officers were In a league to destroy ballot boxes and were working through asents who pretend to bo Communists. Jtnlih Influence n TorKCt. Jewish Influence In the coalition, which Is marked In the Democratic party and somewhat less so among the Majority Socialists, has been the target for a Conservative bombardment and antl Semlttc politics has held the stage at never before In Germany. However, the campaign on a whole 1 has failed to awaken any great public interest Under the new election law", which ap portions one seat In the Reichstag to each 60,000 voters, the Independents will elect between sixty and seventy five representatives. Five seats arc con ceded to the Communists on their first appearance in a parliamentary cam paign. By such division the present coalition should be returned to power by a margin of less than two dozen votes. In this connection there has been much discussion of the possibility of the Volkspartle Joining the coalition. In such an event both the Centrists and the Majority Socialist parties might HPllt and Mathlaa Erzbergor lead a small number of radicals and Catholics la an opposition. , '. t : However, as the election day draws nearer the difficulty of foretelling the outcome of the political contest Increases. There may be a landslide to the Right Which would give close to a hundred ecata to the Volkspartel and fifty to the monarchist Deutsch Natlonale, which If they combined and formed a group with the Centrists, with eighty seats, would have a conservative majority. Such a result Is being predicted in certain po litical quarters, and although the trend to the Right Is unmistakable there is reason to doubt whether a Cabinet repre etntlng the Right can be formed. Alignments In the Assembly. The composition of tho National As sembly from Right to Left was : The Deutsch Natlonale, 42 ; the VolkpartH, 21; the Centrists, 96 ; the Democrats, 75 ; the Majority Socialists. 165, and the Independent Socialists, 22. The prediction most often heard here li that the Deutsch Natlonale and the Centrists will keep about their present strength; that the Volkspartel will In crease Its mandates by two or three times; that the Democrats will lose from a third to a half of what they have now, and that the Socialist factions will win about the same number of seats that they have at present, although they will share them on a more even basis, the Majority wing retaining between 90 and 100 seats. It is believed that the total number of mandates In the new Assembly Will be reduced to about 400, as against 422 representatives in the present Assembly. GERMAN ELECTIONS PUZZLE TO LEADERS Latter Not Willing to Hazard Tentative Prediction. Bv the Atsociatcd Press. Berlin, June 4. With the general lections in Germany only forty-eight hours away there were few political leaders In Berlin to-night willing to hazard even a tentative prediction re garding the outcome of the balloting. Thero was general agreement that the country had never faced a more pro found political enigma. The polls will be open for tep hours on Sunday to give the voters an oppor tunity to register their choice among the various parties contending for suprem acy, but the final result will not be known In all probability for several days. The new voting process Beems to pre clude the possibility of the completion of the final count before Wednesday. There is a general demand that the Reichstag to be selected shall, bo con yoked Immediately after the formalities of the election are completed, not only that action may be taken for the sta bilization of the Internal situation, but also to give the new Government an op portunity to perfect Its organization, thus enabling It to appear at the Spa conference with an unchallenged man date. 11 GERMANY IS LIKELY TO PAY IN ANNUITIES tl nan or ttxea sum tor indem nify May Be Dropped.
