GERMANS WON'T REVOLT UNTIL
LEADERS ARE DISCREDITED.
Writer Familiar with German COndi-
tiOns Comments on German ke-
Ception of Wilson'S Message.

A representative of The Nigilantes
asked Hermann Hagedorn, the writer,
his opinion Of the probable effect ot
President Wilson's message on the Ger
man people. Mr.. Hagedorn, who has
lived in Germany and is familiar with
German conditions and German psychol-
ogy. as his recent article in McClure's
magazine, prisoners of an Illusion" in
dicates. drew the interviewer's attention
to an extract from the Rheinische West
falische Zeitung quoted in the New
York Times.
The German people" this extract de.
clarcd. will not go in Wilson's path.
They still look to their military leaders
with boundless confidence
There you have it exactly" said Mr.
Tagedorn. They still look to their
leaders with houndless confidence.
Therefore they are not going to go as
Wilson suggests They are not going to
revolt"
"Do you think they ever will?'
"Ycs, / do," answered Mr. Hagedorn
"but only when they can no longer look
to their military leaders with that same
'boundless' confidence.'
"When will that be- do you think?'
Mr.. Hagedorn's answer was emphatic.
"When those leaders have once been
thoroughly licked"
Nothing short of a military defeat"
he proceeded, will ever make the Ger.
man people throw over their autocratic
rulers If we wish to free the German
people from the despotism under which
they as well as the rest of the world are
suffering, we must first make them lose
their respect for their army leaders.
If we want them to worship the Cod
dess Of Liberty we must first throw
over their false idol, Hindenburg. You
hear what their papers say:
"'T The German people win not go In
Wilson's path They stin look to their
military leaders wlth boundless conf
dence.'
"Tne conclusion is clear. Make them
lose confidence in their military leaders
and they will rise up.
I'm the defeat of Germany's armies,
and in that alone, lies the prospect Of a
German revolution and the hope Of a
lasting peace"

The essence of military service, az
above stated is subjection Of oneself TO
orders to go anywhere during the period
Of the war without the right to refuse.
Any one who has placed himself under
such orders is entitled to credit for
service with the colors and to wear the
uniform. However worthy the WORK
may be, any one else IS not, and the
constant attempt to initiate the uniform
of the army Of the United States by
persons doing work helpful in the war,
but which does not subject them TO
military orders, should not only be
deprecated, but is contrary to the law,
which forbds the use of any uniform

tinctiye part Of the uniform Of the
United States army. This would include
any of the insignia. and has been held
by some Of the authorities to include

desires only honest credit for what he
is doing, would desire to deprive those

which should go to them because OF
