WAXING AND WAKING.
Hardly had the tumult and the shouting died when the Tory Party entered on a period of opposition, and with it Mr. Chamberlain's reputation sustained its first anti-climax.
But though the Chamberinin star had waned, had not set.
It was becoming obvious towards. 1012 that Mr. Balfour's powers as party leader wore waning, and a great shout arose that Mr. Austen Chamberlain was the rightful heir to the throne.

SWISS PREDICTIONS OF GERMANY COLLAPSE..
EMIGRATION TO RUSSIA
FORESHADOWED."
A Swiss commission of experts, which recently returned from an investigation of conditions in Germany, declares that Ger- many is on the eve of the collapse of both the food supply and industry. At most they | reckon that she has cereals enough to sapply bread until the end of May, after which she must depend on foreigu supplica, ¦ which with the low value of German money, may mean that a three-pound loaf next Summer will cost fully twelve marka. If bread alone were scarce the situation would be less serious, but-ail articles of food are earce, and the country is faced with famine, they say.
The increased. prices of bread and food generally, they declare, will caue the working people to demand further increases in wages and mit will be impossible for the employers. to grant these these see no prospect-save- collapse for Gorman industry and closing. of the factories on ail hands.
The collapse of Germany they expect to cause a vast emigration, and as all coun- tries, except Russia, are closed to: Get- mann, they expect, that fully 5,000,000 Germans, especially labouring and profes sional classes and technicians, will emi- grate thither, and Lenin has intimated that he will readily receive them.
Educated Germans and the mass of the people generally, who naturally are pro foundly depressed, openly deciara," the Commission says that the culy hope for Germany is an American protectorate.
