SEVEN PARTIES FIGHT T0 GOVERM GERMANY .'Ontunme of - Sunday Elections < Likely to Mean Coalition Rule RADICALS EXPECTING GAINS ‘Ex'pem' Befonl Have Effect of e Reducing Fervor of Some. BY EDGAR ANSEL HMOWRER. By Cable to The Star sad Chicago Paily News. c ht, 1924, BERLIN, .~ The principal parties in Sunday's Relchstag elec- tions are seven. On the extreme right are the German raclal freedom party, & strange combination of 100 per cent Germans. Originally an offshoot of the nation- wlist party, they have rallled super- vatriots of most diverse tendencies Some, like the “famous Ehrhardt boys,"” are favorable to any violence, reactionary militarists, hopeful of liohenzollern restoration. Still oth- ers are “Bonapartists,” dreaming of & pan-German war of liberation on a desmocratic scale, coupled with a paternalistic and enlightened dicta- torship. Others look to the Fascisti for their example. Some are patriotic Communists, who only differ through nationalism from those of the left wing, and demand a socialist state as different as possible from that foreseen by Ludendorfr. May Inerease Members, All are united fn dislike of the Jews, whom they would disentranchise, in resenting forelgn oppression, in hat- ing forms of democratic tenets, in- cluding traditional Christianity, and in m\lnfl violence. Represented in the last Reichstag by three members, 1t is expected they may kive thirty- five after the electiops. The German national People's party are old-line monarchical cénserva. tives, recruited chiefly from large landowners and mo-called junkers. They desire restoration of the Hohen- zollerns and e¢lass government, and especially seek to gain thelr former domination of Prussia. Originally bostile to all fulfiliment policies, they are somewhat disconcerted by the ex- perts’ report, which they are fighting half-heartediy. They are spending freely in the campaign. It s expected that thelr present representation of sixty-seven will be increased to ninety. Third comes the German People’s party, or big business of the Stinnes- Stresemann group. Most of them are tepidly monarchist. They possess un- limited funds and are seeking by pub- lic avowal of nationalism, which they aften privately disavow, to keep their strength. It is expected their Reich- stag representation may be reduced from sixty-five to forty. | Center Party Holds Own. The Nationalist party is allled on one side with Conservative radicals and on the Other side with the Con- servative People’'s party.

The ship will begin mooring experiments with the dirigible Shenandosh in Del- aware Bay, about June 15, and grad- ually work up to actual operating status between surface and lighter- than-air craft. The first reai tests with the Shenan- doah, used as a scout ship for, the Atlantic fleet, will be held later, with the fleet assembled for maneuvers off Newport, R. L. GIVES HEALTH TALK BEFORE ZONTA CLUB Dr. Edith 8. Coale Emphasizes Need for Preventing Illness by Exercise of Care. Dr. Edith Seville Coale, & member of the Zonta Club of Washington business and professional women, gave the principal address at the weekly luncheon of that club at the Raleigh yesterday. As the club, along with many other local organizations, is observing Health week this week, Dr. Coale's address was on “Health.” She stressed in particular the neces- sity for preventive health measures and _their Infinite superority over merely curative treatment and em- phasized the need for drinking plenty of water, getting sufficient sleep, proper clothing, the need for exercise in the open air, and receational pur- sults that will give relaxation and not sdditional mental or physical strain. “Too many Americans in particular fail to appreciate the fact that when eir recreation should be id Dr. Coale. “In their ccomplish & great deal in business or social life they get broken down from neglect of this recreation. Then, too, they worry too much, Fretful minds upset physical functions of the body and break the polse and efficiency of the spirit.” The club had as guest of honor at yesterday's luncheon Mrs. Helen Man- ners Broughton, president of the newly organized Zonta Club of Ni- agra Falls. The subject of the big annual con- vention of all Zonta clubs in the United States, ot be held at Buffalo, N. Y., May 16 and 17, was given brief discussion. The presunt omcers of the local club will probably all attend this convention and the two previous presidents, Mrs, Edith Salisbury and Miss Imogene James, have stated that they expect to go to this meeting.
