NO REPUBLIC IS WANTED BY GERMANS OF THE RHINELAND WILSON IS TOO REACTIONARY Coblenz.—The results of the elec tions in the Rhineland can be sum med up in a few words. More wom en voted than men, and the. triumph of the centrist party is complete. The monarchists voted with the clericals against liberal tendencies. The so cial democrats were badly beatea and the extreme radicals received little or no support. ~ f Reports of results in Germany proper—Germany beyond the Rhine— tell a different, story. It is said at Leipsic the social democrats met with success, but as far as territory occu pied by the American, French and British is concerned there can he bo doubt of the sentiment of the people.

Both leaders confessed the economic system of bol^hevist comrriunism was was bankrupt, especially in relation to industrial production, finance And the food question. They said the time has come to in vite exports of the middle class to co operate with the soviets on an accept able basis. A similar invitation was addressed to the intelluctuals, who declared they stood outside the civil war.
