LONDON, April 8.—Impending dis- solutien of the South African parlia- ment is recognizéd here as holding possibilities of great importance for the British empire. < The political campaign against the premier has bgen for a long time gaining force while the stremngth of the nationalists and laborites has been correspondingly - growing, and Gef. Smuts at this moment filis the posi- tion of a prophet less honored in his own country than elsewhere. - Upon the question whether- Gen. J, B. M. Hertzog, who stands. for re- publicanism, or Gen. Smuts, with the support- of-the British community and the “progressive” Dutch, carties the day at the.elections, events of far- reaching consequence depend. The Marning. Post thinks -the ‘com- plications introduced into the. situa- tion hy the labor party and certain German and other alien ‘influences make the issue dark and -doubtful. The Daily News says that if labor supports the nationalists’ avowed ob-| ject of establishing a republie, & con- stitutional crisis must follow, which may put South. Africa into a danger- ous turmoil and have awkward reac- tions in England and distant parts of the empire. Out .of 500 women who recently ap- plied for positions on the New York police force, there were only 158 ac- cepted for examination, and of these only 115 passed the physical test.
