NEED OF GERMANY
Danger of Moral Collapse
Seen by Cologne
Gazette.

NEW YORK, oct. S.-Internal po-
litioai weakness in Germany is con-
trasted by the Cologne Gazette with
the solidarity Of the entente allies on
the western front. The paper be-
means the lack in Germany OF some
thing like the steel wall" along the
German front.
"Our interior front has always
showed gaps" says the Gazette. ut
seemed as II we lack certain spiritu-
al cement which kept the others to-
gether despite the blows our victories
gave them in these four years
'The English interior front, as soon
as ~ external enemy has to be
fought is gapless ana without weak
ness"
Danger Of a moral collapse in Ger
many evidently is foreseen. for the
Gazette says: 'Only one thing could
rob US Of victory; the crumbling up
of the interior front"
The most serious menace of this m
ternaI front is declared 10 be the
doctrinaires 10 be found in all parties
and classes OF society. Tho paper de-
olares that such men as Prince [-ich-
