GERMANY,S TROUBLES.

The pessimist will say Il told you so"
after reading OF the fighting in Berlin be-
tween the soldiers and sailors. 1t is seri-
GUS but not unexpected and, maybe, not
Q dangerous as the news dispatches make
il appear. Some of the sailors who have
been on guard in the city learned they
were to be replaced by soldiers and re-
yolted against the government tempo
rarily in control. The number actually
in revolt cannot be large as they all found
refuge in the royal palace. They have
not been brought into submission because
the soldiers are under orders not to open
fire on them Just few blocks from the
royal palace business is going on as
usual. These facts do not indicate that
Germany is seriously threatened with in
ternal disruption.
Meanwhile the German Democratic
party people who desire a democracy
has issued an appeal for a union of all
liberal parties to organize a German re-
public including German Austria. They
ask for equality of all citizens before the
law, freedom Of thought and religion, a
free press, freedom of speech, no arbitrary
attacks OH the church, protection OF large
families from excessive taxation, free.
dom of trade, free pcasantry living on
free soil, liberal compensation of officials
and good care for the wounded and their
dependents
That appears to be safe and sane pro-
gram and it should appeal TO all the sub
stantial citizens of Germany. 1t would
seem reasonable to hope such a plan will
be adopted and the mutinous and destruc-
tive elements OF that country sup.
pressed. The situation cannot be hope
less when a portion of the people demand
such progressive and substantial policy
as this.

demand for laborers in Pennsylvania and
the southern states. They undoubtedly
will be making a bid for Vermont boys

The decision OF the allies not to send
armed forces into Russia will generally
be commended. Russia must work out a
plan of order and justice for itself if il is
TO retain its place among the family of
nations. Its greatest handicap is the ig-
norance of its masses in the art of gov
eminent Until they can be enlightened
and organized to suppress the anarchy of
the Bolshevists they must endure the
robbery and destruction of that regime.
The allies undoubtedly will prevent Rus
sia from falling into the hands of Ger
many, but that is all they can be expected
TO do at present.

Vermont will be obliged to reconstruct
its National Guard. It will be costly,
too, because the state did so much for
the old National Guard when it volun-

and equipment were turned over to the
federal authorities. Perhaps the state
some day may secure some compensation

Broadly speaking, America must be
content t allow its allies to dictate
the military and naval policy of the
coalition. 1t should be willing to place
at their disposal its available economic
and military forces, says New Repub-
lie. They have the experience, and
the war is being fought on European
territory and in European waters. But
in deciding matters Of political policy
it has a point of view of its own to as
sert, and the assertion of Its interests
will strengthen the political position
of the whole coalition. Alone among
the members thereof 1t is peculiarly
p~re-occupied with hat part Of the pro-
gram which is of common concern, and
it can assume, consequently, in refer
ence to the special objects of the pow
ers the attitude of mediator and recon
ciler-and If necessary of opponent. 1t
can help to organize political unity and

The confusion that has come upon
the world could not have befallen, l
think, if there had been any fair rep
resentation of the aristocratic atti-
tude toward life in the centers of
great business in Europe and Amer

minded men-men who instinctively
used their own lives and fortunes to
underwrite the life and fortune of
the public-in the great credit CEN
tiers and news centers, says a writer in
Bookman. And it appears that at this
moment there is no possible escape
from the confusiOn-that We shall go

ganism Of industry and commerce can
develop an aristocracy strong enough
