London, July s.--The seeds Of democ-
racy planted in Germany in the last
few months are growing into a vigor-
Gus plant, but it is wholly unlike the
Russian plant. If the war lasts a cou-
pie of years Germany may become a
democracy, but il will almost certainly
have the Kaiser as a constitutional
monarch. in somewhat similar posi-
tion to that OF King George.
But that is certainly the maximum
to be expected of Germany. if the in
formation as to her domestic situation
which ! have received is even approx
mately correct. In considering the in
ternal position Of the enemy it is well
TO overrate his strength rather than
TO delude and hypnotic ones self into
the belief that he is on his last legs,
Want Peace with Honor
First. as regards peace, the Germans
as a whole no longer expect a military
decision, but neither do they believe
it possible that the Allies will defeat
them. The bulk of the people. the
working classes and the big manufact-
urers. desire an early peace. But it
must be a peace with honor"
Economically the country is not suf-
fering nearly as much as imagined.

They all liked the clean-cut. energetic

By the things which Americans would
find most commonplace.
For example, one British newspaper

who composed the guard Of honor

earned the two gold stripes or his

II o'clock in the morning bombs were
dropped freely on docks, harbor works
and warehouses on the Thames. Fires
and explosions were observed One
British airplane was shot down over
London. Bombs were dropped at Mar
gate, on the east coast of England. Our
airplanes all returned, except one
which was compelled 10 make de-
scent to the sea and could not be saved
by our naval forces.
"In aerial encounters at the front and
bv anti-aircraft fire the enemy yester-
day lost nine airplanes.'
Demand More Airships
All the Sunday newspapers declare
the people of London are furious at
the inadequacy of the city's defence
as it was revealed yesterday.
The Sunday "Times" says the crying
need Of 1917 is for airplanes, as 1t was
for shells in 1915. and declares the
government must be compelled to real
ize that the airplane Will be the ulti-
mate and deciding factor of the war.
Il insists that thousands must be built,
with the help of America, 10 carry the
war into enemy territory. An avla-
ton expert says in an article IN the
Times:
There is a huge output to be had
from America if our new ally VIII
consent to accept ready-made designs
from Europe, and not insist on want
ing to do her own experimenting
Lovds' News" also demanding
greater airplane production, says:
THE raiders yesterday came at their
leisure and bombed at their leisure.
Their fight over London was so slow
that il looked like a parade. They
seemed to despise the Importance OF
our defences."
The Observer" asserts that most of
the enemy machines were compara-
lively slow biplanes and that the fast
British machines made rings around
them. 1t is held that the low altitude
maintained by the Germans showed
their contempt for the City's cefences.

Victory for Armies No Longer Is Possible;
Economic Conditions Not Serious

turbances frequently, but no signs Of
starvation.
Militarily Germany is still strong.
Her reserves arc not nearly exhausted,
and her ammunition supply, though
limited. is still plentiful. Her soldiers
are utterly sick OF the fighting, but
their morale is not bad. Germany's
resources of raw materials will last
for long period.
As a whole the German people dis
count Americas entry into the war and
think it impossible for the United
States 10 send a sizable army 70
France and maintain it. But even If
we do they believe it impossible TO win
a military decision.
The Germans still worship the
Kaiser and laugh to scorn the Entente
references to peace without the Hohen-
Zollerns. To them the war has become
normal and they are prepared TO stick
TO il for long time. That is the gist
Of the German optimism.
Fear for World Trade
On the other side, the Germans want
peace because they have lost hope OF
"welt macht'- world power. They
consider further war a poor business
proposition. They fear for their fut-
ure international trading. They no
longer fight for the mere glory OF
fighting and they are beginning to
wonder whether the democratic form
of government has not some advantage
over the autocratic form. There are
a few of them who are keen for an
other war.
Most Germans now believe that the
war will end b. diplomatic negotiation.
Even the strongest optimist cannot
foresee peace this year by fighting If
what | have reported is an accurate
presentment OF sentiment in Germany
and have considerable confidence

and no longer in a mood TO endure off,
cial obstinacy.
"The Journal" quotes the Lord Mayor
al saying that the case of reprisals has
been enormously strengthened by yes
terday's happenings.
"Reynolds's Newspaper suggests il
would have been well if members of
the War Cabinet and the government
had gone among the people and heard
their comments on the defenceless
state OF the capital.
"The man who would attempt to jus
tify yesterdays defensive operations
by the requirements of the army in
France could rejoice if the crowds LETT

and that within ten days the bill VIII

Of monthly payments. Such a plan ne

Manufacturers Plan
 Patriotic Parade

 Patriotism amongst the industrial plants of this city today is coming to the public light in the announcement that a mass meetingtis to be held at the Casino Tuesday, June 19, when Charles R. Brown, dean, School of Re- Hgion, Yale university will address a multitude of manufacturers, superin- tendents, foremen, sub-foremen, office managers and heads of departments.
 The event which is announced through the Manufacturers associa- ton will be signalized by parades through the city streets, each factory delegation being headed by a band. E The largest individual unit yet placed in the ranks by Secretary F. A. Benngtr of the association is the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, which has or dered a band and informed the asso- citation it will come 200 strong. Be- tween 2,ooO and 2,5oo are expected to attend.
 Another phase that the war has de- veloped is the Harmonious operation between the offices of various factories. For an interchange of ideas and the better acquaintance of persons who have much business dealings by tele- phone and correspondence, an effort now on foot plans a. gigantic social organization. Committees at work in various factories are arranging for a big dance and meeting to be held in the near future when officers will be chosen.
