the naval mutinies to the Reichstag.
The ecoomic situation in Germa-
ny" he says, is far worse than any
one on the outside realizes is so
critical that l look for break, a
collapse, next spring, or late in the
winter. Nor are the good crops that
one hears boosted about every once in
SO often going to change the situa-
ton materially.
Throughout the German people
there is what amounts to a hatred OF
America, and this hatred has been
carefully concentrated on President
Wilson because it is easier to hate a
man than nation. Specially a ma
ton that is the home of pretty near
ly eyeryone's relatives.
But the big men of Germany. the
men who have to look ahead and
guide the empire after the war, dc
not hate America They feel too keen
ly that they need America, and they
would like to stem the tide of hate
before it becomes mutual and the
United States are alienated, perhaps
for all time.
They know that after the war there
is only one country in the world
where they can get money they shall
northumberland they are worry
ing plenty nowadays. They, and
all Germany, want increasingly a
peace that shall specify, among 9TH
er things, the right to purchase raw
as we'll as finished material any
where in the world, on the same

terms as other nations.


Every indication points to proba-
BILE confiscation of property and re-
pudiation of perhaps half the war
loan totals after the war Even the
percentage of property to be confo-
Gated is being talked of, and it seems
probable that the government will
take twenty per cent of everything.
ION the other hand, it seems prob
able from all hear that an even half
of all outstanding war loans will be
nullified. The seventh will suffer ex-
actly as the first and the first as the
seventh. Fifty per cent will be re-
paid, and the other fifty per cent will
either be cancelled or will merely
continue to pay interest-will be a
sort of perpetual investment, the cap
ital for which cannot be realized.
AS surely as anything can be pre-
dicted there will be in the Central
Powers a series of laws forbidding
emigration. And in anticipation Of
them countless Germans today are
talking about ways and means of get
ting away after the war. South and
North America, and peculiarly enough
New Zealand and Australia are the
Ravens to which they speak of flee
ing. The first German ship that lands
in America after hostilities will leave
fifty per cent of it's crew
''It is becoming clearer and clearer
to Germans every day that all the
talk that has gone the rounds about
Central Europe" after the model
of Professor Naumann and others
will be out of the question.
Contrary to the belief that seems
to be almost universal outside Of
Germany, / really believe that Pan
Germanism is on the decrease rather
than the increase among the masses
of the people, and this despite the
increased noise about it everywhere
in Germany and the intensive way III
which it is being encouraged The
reason for this is that more and more
the German people are coming to
realize what a catastrophe it will be
for them after the war is over if they
are hated in all the world. Pan-Ger-
manism, they are coming to feel, IS
likely to intensity the feeling against
them, and thereby make their eco
nomic struggle in the future more

This spirit he continued, extended
to the army also, famed to flame
occasionally by sectional jealousy and
dislike. Thus he said he knew that
miniature battles had been fought be
tween Bayarian and Prussian troops,
and that certain troops on the east
front had on one occasio mutinied
and declared in favor OF marching on
Berlin rather Petrograd. Naturally
all news about these and similar serl-

With a brick or rock in his
