EVEN MONARCHISTS DO NOT
WANT WILHELM AT HEAD OF
COUNTRY, SCRIBE SAYS.
^ Former Ruler of Germany Will Never
Sit on Throne Again, Is Be
lief of Many German
Citizens
New York—Wilhelm of the house of
Hohenzollern, now sawing wood at his
exile home— Haus Doom in Holland—
has just as good a chance of going
back to Germany as kaiser as I have.
The difference in the two cases Is that
I can't and don't want to, while Wil
helm can't, but may want to.
Americans ask the question, "Will
Wilhelm come back?" perhaps more
frequently than any other about Ger
many. The answer is an unequivocal
•"no," it' words and deeds of the days
since the revolution in Germany are
any criterion. Germany doesn't want
Wilhelm back. Not even the men win
frankly strive for restoration of the
monarchical system in Germany want
him to head it.
He is. a-v the Germans say, "erledigt
—finished."
To the Socialists of Germany—and
they are legion— Kaiser Wilhelm is a
q tetter. He fled like a coward in the
nation's darkest hour, they say, and
any attempt on his part or that of
overzealous friends to restore him
would be met with overwhelming op
position.
Germany proved what it thought cf
* monarchists when it put a crimp in
Herr Knpp's private promonarchistic
"putsch" last year; and since that time
the national feeling hasn't swung any
more in favor of return of n moarchy.
1 he Erzherger demonstration, a dem
onstration against reaction, showed
that the junkers and the rabid mon
archists wlm seek to restore the old
order through assassination and ter
rorism haven't a chance.
I would scarcely venture to assert
that a constitutional monarch, such as
England's, would not one day come to
Germany. But at the moment the
consciousness of the people is for a
democracy. The eight-hour day—about
the only fruit of the revolution—pleas
es the German worker, end he knows
If a monarchy returns he will exchange
It for an industrial slavery of twelve
to fourteen hours a day at low wages
The men who wait a monarchy
or
lic
back are, for the most part, disgrunt
led Individuals, who have lost money
or position through the overturn. Re
leased officers curse the new regime.
But for the average man, the repub
lic is satisfactory. Its overturn might
perhaps come about through over
heavy tax burdens, for the promon
archlsts appeal to the Ignorant with
the plea that things were better "In
the old days"—neglecting to point out
that a lost war with a staggering debt
and new economic conditions would
not make the common man's lot easi
er, even under a kaiser.
The monarchists talk of the crown
prince's son as a possible throne can
didate; others would have a Bavarian
monarch. But the monarchists them
selves—with, of course some excep
tions—say, "Let the republic carry the
hod, repair the country, and then let
us In, say ten or twenty years, seek
to restore a monarchy."

GAMBLING IS RAMPANl!
Germany in Throes of Wild Orgy
of Speculation.
Government Is Making Efforts to Halt
the Fever, Which Ha6 Spread to
All Parts of the Country
Stakes Are High.
Berlin. — The government is try
ing to halt a gambling lever which has
swept Germany for many mouths und
which authorities say continues to
spread despite hundreds of arrests,
the confiscation of millions of marks,
sentencing of scores of persons to jail
and the Imposition of heavy lines.
Close upon the heels of the gambling
and speculation rnuiiiu which appeared
among the people of all classes came a
horde of stock-market manipulators,
racetrack touts, bucket shop proprie
tors and orgunizers of get-rich-qulck
belting associations, who, starting
with small sums, subscribed by work
ing men und women, shortly were uble
to open luxurious gambling houses.
At least a dozen such establish
ments operating iu Berlin, Hamburg,
Dresden und smaller provincial towns
have been rulded and closed by the
police.
Sums us high as 12,000,000 marks
have been found and confiscated by
the police In gambling houses which
apparently were catering only to the
smaller gamblers. The proprietors
have been held on charges of fraud.
The horse racing seuson, which has
been unusually successful, offered the
crooked gamblers and promoters a
ehunce which they promptly took ad
vantage of, und It is known billions of
murks were wagered on alleged tips.
Some of these promoters became wide
ly known as reliable "Informants" and
made so much money for their clien
tele that they became popular Idols.
