TRUE CONDITIONS
IN GERMANY.

The New York Sun recently printed
a, etter1from DR.. sidonio Paes, late
Portuguese Minister at Berlin who
made many interesting statements re-
latire to the present situation N
Germany.
Among other things the doctor
said:
Up to the present there is no lack
of men. What the Germans are dong
however, is to modify the battle front
anG so economic soldiers. :,
;hc German public opinion is 40,
solutely hostile to the international
policy recently adopted by the Will
helmstrasse. There is very little dis
like felt for the French, but the hat
red of England and Russia is accen-
tuated. America has already had
grave reasons for breach with Ger.
many. Germany, however, intends at
all costs to avoid rupture with the
North American republic.
Peace is discussed in Germany, and
it is certain that it is desired hy all
classes of the German population.
Confidence in final victory is very
much diminished, and peace on the
basis of the status quo ante would
be very well received by Germany.
The economic situation is very bad.
and tends to become worse. There Is
nothing but black bread available:
butter and fats have almost .disap-
peared from the market, potatoes are
sold only in small quantities TO the
people, meat is available only twice
a week, and the importation of ar
ticles of luxury has long been prohi-
bited. As to the financial situation
this does not cause anxiety. The bank
rate has fallen because everybody in
stead of withdrawing money. has
made fresh deposits. Thus for an
other two years the financial position
does not present great difficulties.
There is only one side of Berlin life
which has not altered, and that IS
with respect to cafes, cinematographs
theatres and other amusement. In
this respect the life is just the same
as before the war.
The war should not last longer than
1917, but for this it is necessary
that all the belligerents can count on
sufficient resources.

UNREST IN GREECE

Athens, April 29-An impartial OBJ
server who has just returned from ;
tour Of all the mainland OF Greece re
ports an amazing spread of sentiment
in favor Of Eliptherios Venizelos, thu
former premier, even in conservative
Peloponnesus. The recent efforts OF
the government to suppress the meet
ings of the Yenizelos adhercnts has
awakened deep resentment among the
people and there is a growing de-
termination to oust the present gov
crnment even if it be necessary to re-
sort to arms.
Neutral diplomatic observers who
are in position to judge declare
that the present situation cannot last
so days longer and that unless an
allied offensive against Bulgaria re-
lieves the tension by sweeping the
Greeks into war with their ancient
enemies, political cataclysm II
greece is inevitable.
The time for compromise between
the liberals and the adherents Of the
ministry has passed. A most rigid
triple censorship Of all press telc'
grams keeps the world generally
ignorant of actual conditions il

The IRISH
REVOLUTION.

For over century the history OF
ireland has been that of series or
revolutions. The revolt under Robert
Emmett broke out and the course OF
revolution and riots was one or al
most unbroken virulence. The history
of legislative expressions, combined
with social and economic wrongs that
marked the course of Ireland under
The Act of Union constitutes a grave
reflection upon the ability or the Will
lingness of England to deal with Ire
land in the spirit of justice and
generosity. Nevertheless, time and
again ameliorations were effected IN
behalf of the Irish people, but under
strong pressure that extended to IN
fluence created and help obtained
from this side of the water. Glad
stone m his latter years became an
avowed exponent of home rule, and
through the power Of his personality
such measure came near being en-
acted into the basic law of the nation.
But the power of the lords-that curb
upon the democratic measures in
England to withhold from
the Irish people the boom of home
rule until a few years ago.
The leaders of the present revolt
have undoubtedly led the masses of
the people to believe that the home
rule measure would not be put into
effect, or, if so, that it would not meet
the aspirations of the Irish people.
The Baltimore American suggest;
that back of the revolt, too, is the
money of Germany. Thus the people
have been deluded by the agents OF
the German government and who first
subsidized the venal characters that
have caused this most distressing mis-
fortune to come upon the island
whose record of woes ought not tc
have been supplemented by this need
less, harassing and deadly revolt.

condemned to death or incarceratct
