There is plenty of money in circula- :
tion in Germany. The workman Is IN
many cases getting from three to four
times what he got before the war. But
there is nothing to spend 1t on. He Is
restricted to three glasses of beer a
day, and a weak. watery beer. that has
little in common with the rich German
beverage of three years ago. He can
not buy fancy clothes. There was a
time when he could glut himself with
goose. but goose is now on the restrict
ed list. He can listen to concerts or go
to the opera, but dry concerts and opera
lack appeal.
In word. he cannot waste" money
on enjoyments. He can only work. save
money and buy war bonds. Add to this
dismal outlook life in cities in which
the streets are empty and in which
every light must go out shortly after 3
o'clock. Give him for mental food the
same old stories of submarine successes.
and strategic retreats, and the death OF
the boy next door and the epidemic
which Is ravaging the next street but
one. 1t is inevitable that the German
those who know the Ger
man best do not underestimate that
be dropping in the
gauge. Observers of this sort. just
across the frontier line in Switzerland.
do not expect an early end of the war.
Germany Is weakening" they say,
but Germany is not weak. She will as
suredly fight on for another year. and
perhaps for two. The gravest mistake
America can make is to believe that
Germany is whipped.

Civilian Leads Life of Misery.

am trying to state the truth Syithou
any coloring of exaRgeratfon or parti-

dent of Germany Is one of misery rather
than of actual suffering. There In no

While the old clothes hold together. Few

fewer will hive heat in more than one
room of their houses under the new
regulations.
Perhaps the German courage is more
seriously assaulted by the dead, never
ending monotony of misery than by the
privations themselves. 1t is concefy-
able that one may go hungry and cold
and ragged and i'll shod patiently, il he
is borne up by the certainty Of some
relaxation at the end. Payday is trans

Pressure of Unhappiness.

In the first sentence Of this article
spoke OF the progressive mechanical
deterioration from which Germany Is
suffering. Next to the weakening in
courage. due to an unrelenting pressure
of unhappiness. this may be the most
serious danger to the Teutonic organ
ization. The opening of new territories
the ruthless stripping of public and pri-
vate property and the combination of
an almost perfect economy and newly
invented substitutes have perhaps made
them sure of a supply of raw materials
for an indefinite time to come But
they have not been able to check the
deterioration of their mechanical plant,
and upon the functioning of that plant
depends their ability to continue the
war.
The railroads are wearing out. The
roadbeds are going to pieces, the en-
gines steam badly. the cars are racked
and out of true. From time to time re-
pairs are made, purely because repairs
are forced, but every day of idleness is
bitterly grudged by the war machine
days blockade on road means
shortage of shells somewhere on the
front. and that shortage is always
paid for in lives. The factories are
wearing out. old machines are kept in
service because there is slight chance
tc get new machines. The trans are
wearing out 50 that to get from homes
to work costs the civilians more time
and more nervous energy. Everything
Is subordinated to the Unsuitable ma
chine on the western front. The time
must come when the furious haste of
present-day production must be slack :
ened In order that the machinery of
production be re-ground and re-trued.
Then what will happen on the western
front?
