Still Fooling the German People.

Still Fooling the German People.
Gen. Won Einem, commander Of one
Of the German armies, issued procla-
nation to the people Of the Rhineland
upon the occasion of the evacuation Of
that area, saying:
"You desired to see the victorious
army which protected the fatherland for
four and one-half years against all its
enemies. You wished to see for your
selves whether our strength was
broken. The glorious recep-
ton given US, the display of flags and
the greetings extended are the best
evidence that You are satisfied with us
and that we have not disappointed
your expectations. We are proud of
this and we thank you. Although I'M
fortunate circumstances brought the
enemy into the land he is not the vic
tor in battle"
Plainly there is need Of some sort of
demonstration in Germany to convince
the people that Gen. Won Einem has
misstated the case. It will be most
unfortunate If the impression spreads
that the German army was not beaten
in the var.

Drifting Mines.

It is stated that twenty-five mines
were sighted by steamer recently
off the Atlantic coast. There will
probably be many floating mines for
months to come and doubtless some
marine accidents will result. OF
course, measures will be taken to pick
up and destroy these menaces to navi-
CATION, but it is almost impossible that
all should be found, and ship captains
must run a certain degree Of risk.
After the Russo.Japanese war ships
were sunk for long time after the
cessation Of hostilities, as mines were
carried out into the Pacific, some of
them torn from their moorings and
others being drifting mines. It is not
known how many free mines the Ger
mans set afloat, but it is believed a
great number we're thus started forth
on missions Of destruction. Fortu-
nately the trend Of the currents in the
North sea is into the gulf stream, flow.
ing toward Spitzbergen. There is q
return current west Of Iceland which
might bring mines back by the Labra-
dor current into the navigation zone
between the gulf stream and the coasts
Of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and
northeastern United States, which is
the principal steamer lane. Mines
that chance to work their way through
the English channel might get down
into the Canaries current, and so flow
into the gulf stream from the south.
Were the current conditions other
wise than they are the danger from
this source would be extremely grave.
Mine sweeping must be continued with
unremitting diligence until the seas
are made safe again.

Maneuvering in Berlin.

Berlin continues in ferment as
the elements which are striving for
control Of the new organization maneu-
yer for advantage. Nothing is being
accomplished and to those looking on
from this distance it would almost ap-
pear as though the factions were SIM
ply running around in circles, in other
words, that the revolution is not de-
veloping toward a substantial formula
and definite personnel. A report from
Basel states that rumors are current
in Berlin that the Spartacus group in
tends to name DR.. Liebknecht presi-
dent of the republic. Liebknecht him
self is keeping we'll to the front. Sat
urday night he held a spectacular
open air meeting at which, surrounded
by an armed force, he made an ad-
dress to several thousand workers, in
the course Of which he indicted Ebert,
Scheidemann and other "kaiser So
cialists" of completely in the rioting
of Friday. There was no interfer-
ence with the meeting by the Ebert
government. As an illustration Of the
confusion it is noted that over thirty
mass meetings of conflicting parties
were announced for. Sunday.
Doubtless out of this condition will
develop a man of strength capable Of
organizing and of holding the public
confidence. Thus far no such man has
appeared. Whether the opposition be-
tween Ebert and Liebknecht is chiefly.
personal or is fundamental in conse-
quence of radical differences of policy
does not clearly appear. Liebknecht is
evidently seeking to infame the crowd
against those. now in administrative
control on the score that they are
mere stalking horses for the old re-
gime. There is danger in the delay
of orderly procedure. Whether that
danger comes from bolshevism or from

peace and the threat of renewed hos
tilities cannot fail to grow graver daily.
Yet, obviously, Germany cannot be
reconstructed in a day. The task is
q tremendous one and the people, long
deprived of free volition in the mat
ter of government and with the habit
Of obedience thoroughly ingrained, are
in NO position suddenly to assume re-
sponsibility for their own affairs with
out much friction. That month has
elapsed since the initial revolutionary
movement without violent explosion
is hopeful sign. Still the allies must
keep the closest watch Of developments,
and it is doubtless for this purpose
that a French officer has gone to Ber-
lin, though his ostensible mission is to
arrange for the transport and repatria-
ton Of French prisoners held in Ger
many.
