Genera, April 17. Signs aro manifold that there Is going-to be a
universal revolt against atato socialism in Europo beforo long. Socialist
leaders are still proclaiming that a socialistic transformation of democ
my is everywhere imminent and inevitable, but the truth is that public
opinion is growing moro anti-socialistic daily.
This feeling varies In Intensity in different parts of Europe; it is
less pronounced as yet among the nations who havo had no practical
experience of socialism as a form of government, and It is extremely
itronff and bitter in all countries whore socialist administration and legis
Utlon have prevailed since the -war.
R is no exaggeration to say that "parliamentary" socialism of the
"Second International" type Is utterly discredited and bankrupt today in
central Europo, whero its most renowned chiefs havo governed for over
a .year and conclusively proved their absolute incapacity to heal the
wounds of war and to achieve economic reconstruction.
So these disillusioned peoples, -who placed their trust in the panacea of
socialism in the hour of defeat and disintegration, are now turning from
It in disgust, realizing that its rule has not only failed to relieve their
distress but has actually served to perpetuate the misery and chaos caused
by the war. .
German Turns from Socialism
This disillusionment has already led in Hungary to reaction virtually
amounting to the restoration of monarchism. In Germany it was the force
behind the monarchist coup, the failure of which is more apparent than
real, for the government that emerged from the crisis represents a marked
removal from socialism, having moro "bourgeois" than Socialist mom
bers, while the Independent Socialists, who sought to form an exclusive
labor cabinet, have' suffered signal defeat.
Austria is too exhausted and apathetic to rebel openly against her
Socialist rulers, but anti-socialistic sentiment is as intense in Vienna as
In Berlin and Budapest. It is the same in Czccho-Slovakia, and wherever
socialism dominates in government or municipal affairs.
For the moment, this universal contempt and hatred of so-called
"parliamentary" socialism is undoubtedly driving the great' mass of citizens
into the ranks of reaction and the radical e! ment among the workers into
vtbe arms of bolsherism, but there is some hope that democracy may
erentualiy issue triumphant from the struggle between these two despotic
extremes.
Untold Billions Wasted
Many causes have combined to destroy the prestige of socialism in
its central European stronghold. In the first place, the experiences made
in Germany and Austria during the last eighteen months of Socialist
regime show that it is the most costly form of government ever devised.
Untold billions haVo been wasted since the war by the Socialist rulers
of these unhappy countries whose finances were already shattered by
defeat
Gratuities for the "unemployed," incessant wage increases granted to
satisfy the high expectations not unnaturally awakened among tho work
ers by their leaders' advent to power, exorbitant salaries paid to a vast
and ever-increasing army of officials, have sapped the resources of the
state.
The result is that the German and Austrian peoples, including the
working classes, aro today staggering under a burden of taxes which is
absolutely killing their initiative and enterprise.
It is this nightmaro of socialistic taxation that is destroying all desire
to work, and not tho economic clauses of tho Versailles treaty, as the
Socialist statesmen of Germany and Austria would like the Allies to
believe.
"Why should I work?" asks the "proletarian," half of whose illu
sively high wages vanish in taxes; and tho business man .mutters: "It
costs less to keep a kaiser than a socialist government."
Teuton Nations Menaced
Such utterances are heard on all sides in Berlin and Vienna today
nd they reveal a state of mind which helps to explain the continual
menace of monarchist and Bolshevist upheavals that overshadows both
capitals.
Most German financiers and business men with whom I have talked
do not hesitate to say that Germany's finances, though dangerously under
lined by war and defeat, might have been more or less repaired by this
tune if the revolution had led to democracy instead of socialism. A prom
inent economist, a disciple of the lately deceased Professor Lnmmnsch,
confided to mo not long ago that in his opinion a year and a half of
Socialist government, with its paradoxical but apparently inevitablo ac
companiment of strikes and sabotage, had cost Germany almost as-much
Money as four yeara of war.
But It Is not only as financiers that tho Teuton grandmasters of social
lm have flagrantly failed to mako good. They have proved absolutely in
mpeUnt also to cope with the profiteer.
Now the campaign against profiteering is, so to say, a Socialist special;

SEES SUFFRAGE VICTORY
Congressman Feaa Declares Dela
ware i Will Ratify Next Week
Washington, April 17. (By A. P.)
After a conference fiere today with
lenders of tho Delaware Legislature,
ltcprcsentative ,Fcas, of Ohio, chairman
of the Bcpublican congressional commit
tee, announced that ratification of tho
Buffrage amendment by Delaware had
been blocked only by a parliamentary
bbstncle. which would 'bo removed next
week, thus paving the way for imme
diate ratification.
Mr. Fess said' ho 'was told by tho
leaders of the Delaware Assembly that
there were sufficient favorable votes in
each house to insure ratification. The
lenders came to Washington to confer
with Senate .and' House leaders as to
tho best means of getting out of the par
liamentary tangle which developed at
Dover. .
Mr. Fess, In an opinion prepared for
tho visitors, held that while' the orig
inal resolution of ratification could not
be considered .again by the House, the
Senate could pass an identical resolu
tion now before it and seed it to the
House for notion.
Free Print Paper Bill Passed
Washington, April 17. Final action
was" taken by Congress today on legis
lation designed to relievo print-paper
consumers, the Senate passing the
House bill making print paper under
eight cents free p duty for two years.

Washington. April 17. What shall
we do with Johnson? Is the big ques
tion beforo tho Republican party since
tho Michigan result, followed as It was
by tho Illinois showing of 40,000 wrlt-tcn-In
votes for the California senator.
"Johnson," said an active Bcpub
lican organisation man who is opposed
to him. "JohnBon will either bo the
head of the ticket or the tall of the
ticket or ho will wreck tho party." The
most popular indoor political sport Is
making Johnson tho tall of tho ticket.
The Harding peoplo keep turning over
In their mouths Harding and Johnson
the way a young girl about to bo mar
ried keeps writing "Mrs. John.Smith,"
Just to see how It looks. Harding and
Johnson sounds mighty good to the
Harding men. Even If Johnson' would
not run for vice president, tho Harding
people point out that there has been no
quarrel between narding and Johnson.
Johnson," they say confidently,
"would support Harding." ,
nhcthcr this idea is responsible for
It or not, the Harding stock has been
going up lntcly.
He is one of the leading candidates
wlio havo got least scratched up in the
primaries. AIro he is a good friend
of tho man who will be tho dominant
force in tho Chicago convention, Sen
ator Johnson. Another favorite "and
Johnson" ticket is tho "Knox and
Johnson" ticket. Nobody heard any
thing of Knox for President until John
son became strong. Tho men casting
about for tho means of keeping John
son in the party remembered how Sen
ator Knox, of all tho old regulars, is
the California senator' best friend In
Washington. Why not Knox and John
son? t Johnson Would Support Knox
Johnson could not refuse to support
Knox.
Indeed, thern nra mpn vohi neaf mUT.
,the utmost posUlreness that Mr. Knoxla.
iwi-uus nT6 positive assurances that
Johnson would run as vice president on
the ticket with Knox.
All this talk indicates tho position
Johnson will occupy in tho Bcpublican
national convention. Ho must be con
sidered. No other candidate need bo
in the same sense. Johnson has a fol
lowing. He leads the progressive cle
njent In the party. He, running on a
third ticket, could take votes away from
tho party. No other candidate could,
except perhaps noovcr.
Wood could not. Lowdcn could not.
Harding could not. Johnson will have
more to say about making tho nomina
tion at Chicago than will any other
single man in the convention. Ho will
havo to bo satisfied with tho result.
His support will have to be assured.
The Nebraska result next Tuesday is
already being discounted by the poli
ticians in their estimate of the strength
of Johnson's position at Chicago. It is
taken for granted that Johnson will

"That man is as much a profiteer
who 'seeks to get moro pay and at the
same time gives less service as tho
roan who charges an excesslvo price
for his goods."
John D. Bockefeller. Jr., of New
York, made this statement on his
arrival hero today to speak at a lunch
eon at the Bellcvue-Stratford In
furtherance of the interchurch world
movement.
"The high cost of living," he con
tinued, "will be rcdnced only ns the
American people render honest, con
scientious and whole-hearted service.
"As I see it, the financial, indus
trial and spiritual future of this coun
try is dependent upon three things.
They aro less extravangance, less sel
fishness, and less thought about getting
n larger salary wage or profit, and
moro thought about rendering a eerv
ico commensurate with what we are
getting.
Spirit of Waste Predominates
"Tho economy so generally practiced
during the war bas given place to a:
spirit of crftravanganco which cannot
o on indefinitely without bringing
Uaster not only financial, but spir
itual, to the moral fabric of any na
tion. "The utter disregard of self found on
every lhand through the trying days of
the war leading to contributions of
service and of money without question
and without limit has been replaced by
the doctrine of every man for himself.
"Not only good-will and content
ment, but national prosperity sb well
are dependent on a duo'' regard for the
other man, .his rights, his interests, his
requirements, whether he be employer
or employe."

Cracksmen entered three offices In the
8herldan Building, 0,25 Walnut street,
during tho night and got away with
money act! valuables worth about $4500.
Safes on three floors were broken and
pulled apart and their nonnegotloblo
contents torn nnd thrown about the
floor. In each case entrance to the
ofllco was obtained by jimmying the
door from the public hallwny.
The places robbed were those of
FelnbcreA Blonm, on the third floor,
where 8(100 In Tilhcrtv bonds. $15 In
cash nnd $3500 in silks were taken, and'
the Quaker City Mutual Aid Assocla- ,
tlon on the fourth floor, where $300 in ,
cash and Rtamps wero taken. I
The office of tho Bass Gold Co.. on
the second floor, was entered nnd the
safo tore apart, but no money was
obtained.
Finds Marks of Jimmy
The robberies wero discovered this
morning when an employe opened the j
building for the day. He noted the
marks of the jimmy on tho Aid Assocla-1
tlon door anil notified the police. The
two other burglaries were discovered
later.
Morrit nioom, of tho Feinbcrg &
Bloom Co., was one of the last persons!
to leave the building last night. A short '
time after he left tho building was'
locked. Nothing suspicious was noted,
at the time. i
The police believe the robbem tvere '
concealed in the building then, ns no
marks of a forced entrance into the
structure were found.
With the building to themselves the
cracksmen took their time about their
work. The first place visited was that
of the insurance concern.
There the burglars had a difficult time
with tho safe, as shown by the condi
tion of the office, but ononed it finnllv
without explosives. They cot $300 in I
cash and $00 in stamps. They left o i
sieet on in me ouice wnen they de
parted. Scatter Papers Over Floor
Tho job Jn the Feinbcrg & Bloom
concern wob comparatively easy. The
Intruders took the $000 In Liberty
Bonds' from their envelorje nnd tl.nn

scauereu important papers all around!
tho floor. ' (
The lost job was In tho Bass gold
shop. Tho safo was opened but noth-'
ing of value taken. Tho Intruders left t
n valuablo kit of burglars' tools on
the floor, including axploslves and acids I
which they had not used. i
Tho thieves say they then returned!
to the 'Feinbcrg & Bloom concern nnd
carefully sorted the stock of merchan-1
disc there, and, taking nothing but the '
finest silks- valued at $3500, carried
them to a rear street, where a wagon or
motortruck had been summoned and
was waiting.

"Lost" Engine in Yard Railroad Slang Too Deep
for Masters of Greek and Latin
Little gleams of humor, with a flaRh
or two of real devotion to duty, broke
through the striko clouds ut the Bead
ing Terminal today.
One of them was reported from Tren
ton, and concerned the yardinaster there,
M. J. Malcy, a veteran of forty-one
years' service, who years ago lost an
arm oc the railroad.
Mnley has an arm and n half, or, to
bo exact. -- arm and a half and a
hook. 11 bi. tH ho can hold his own
with nny ot the oungcr fellows. Ilp
proved It yesterday by nwiuclnir a coal
scoop ull day on the engine of the Tren -ton
shuttle train, operating to Trenton
Junction.
Joseph Peterson, superintendent of
the Beading Terminal, has stuck night
and day to the job. Last evening pres
sure eased a little, and ho thought ho
would take a few hours to go homo.
He raught a train nut. lie was, so tired
ho fell asleep, and waked only when the
train stopped nt Olney, a way beyond
his station. . He rodo back homo -in a
trolley to finish his nap.
Student "Lost" Ills Engine
8ome real humorous stories are being
told about, the collego boys who volun

Norrlstown branch, got off for lunch

nnd his engine. He ran from track to
track frantically looking for it, while
the rest of the train crew were an fran
tically looking for him. They missed
connections somehow, and another
green youth fired that train on its trip
The college boys were a bit slow to get
on to the "slang of the shop." Old rnll
roadcrs had a hearty lough when one
husky youth who wns lirniK come in and
reported lie hod "left the machine at
l.ric avenue."
