The German Victory The German Socialists have won a smashing victory in the par liamentary elections.

The returns indicate that in the first balloting they have gained 21 scats in the reichstag and that in the second election their gains will increase proportionately. The Radicals and Liberals have suffered staggering losses which largely explain the Socialist gains. Even the Catholic Center has failed io hold its own Everywhere the Socialists have made inroads upon the strength of their opponents. Over 4000000 votes were cast.
