GERMAN ELECTIONS.
RIOTS IN BERLIN.
NO WHISPER OF KAISERiSM.
HERR STRESEMANN'S CONDITION.
(By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.; BERLIN, May 20. One man was killed and many others were injured as a result, of an election fight between Nationalists and Fascists, in which stones, sticks and beer mugs were used as weapons. The police were temporarily powerless. Some' experts express the opinion that only r>o per cent, of the electors will vole to-day. There are .'it parties and 1500 candidates, of whom iOO are women. Nobody expects a transference of votes sufficient materially to alter the political situation. It is certain that no party will have a majority, and more Coalitions are inevitable. In any case, a continuation of Herr Stresemann's policy is regarded as assured. There has been no whisper of Kaiserism.
The latest bulletin regarding the German Foreign Minister, Herr Stresemann, says his pulse and temperature are normal, but it is feared that he will be unfit to take office in the new Cabinet, which will be formed after the elections to-morrow. Political observers expect that the former Chancellor, Dr. Wirth, will take the portfolio of Foreign Affairs.
