 OF ENCOURAGEMENT
So Says Hugo Preuss III Discussing Development of Democratic
 Form of Government.

Beri.n, Dec, 3, CBy the Associated Press) s)--Hugo Preus. state secretary of interior in the new German goc- ernment, in discussing with the cor. respondent the progress of the rev olution, today said:
 We are obliged to rear democracy on the founda tion bequeathed us by the old system, which HOW is gone forever provided it is not restored through exto rna1 forces. But the at titude of our enemies, as ii now pre- sents itself in some new aspect every day permits the observation that they are treating US just as if Will liam IT. still were on the throne. Many brave German cen ocrats now are shaking their heads, wondering whether the eAcha ange of systems will really bring us the blessings of de- mocracy so ardertly chanlpioned by President Wilson. We need encour agement, and lots of it.
