BY EDWARD w. PlcKARD.

=
Falling thrones and fleeing kings and
princes a maelstrom Of social revolu-
ton and military mutiny soviets Of the
workers and soldiers in control, and
former autocrats in hiding.
That in brief is the condition in CEN
trail Europe, following the cessation Of
hostilities. How it will all end not
the wisest statesmen can conjecture.
Quick work by le~vel-headed leaders
may direct Alright the great movement
and bring out Of the chaos orderly and
firmly grounded governments Of and
for the people. At present 1t seems
that a favorite Jest has become a sober
fact and that the big task now Is to
make democracy safe for the world.
In Germany the Socialists are estab-
fishing themselves under the leadership
Of their chancellor, Friedrich Ebert, a
brainy and highly esteemed man. The
several factions Of the party appear
to be working in some harmony, and
the bolsheviki. though yet in the de-
cided minority, have been given recog-
milton which Is encouraging them to
demand more. In Berlin, where the
German republic was proclaimed, there
has been intermittent fighting between
the revolutionists and some officers and
troops that remained loyal to the old
order, and in some other cities there
were conflicts; but on the whole the
change has been accomplished with re-
markably little violence. The leaders
occupy the reichstag building in Berlin
and are striving to put the affairs Of
life on a normal basis.
In the allied countries there was q
shrewd suspicion that the revolution
was being fostered and directed under
cover by the leaders Of the old govern
ment in the hope that through it they
might be spared some Of the r1gors Of
the peace settlement. Such, too, was
the explanation of the establishment
Of a republic in Bavaria, and in Schles-
wig-Holstein, which states now say
they will become parts Of the new Ger
man republic.
The man in the street, and most Of
CAlC ACWSPupCAS III ACu, Iuslhllu
and France, did not at first look kindly
on Doctor Soils appeal to President
Wilson that the allies take steps to
save the people Of Germany from star
walton. 1t savored of %impudence, COM
ing from a representative Of the peo-
pie who starved Belgium, Serbia, Po-
land and Roumania without a qualm Of
conscience. But the allied govern
ments have looked at the matter in a
different light, and, probably wisely,
have determined to supply to the Ger
mans such food as can be spared, not
only for humanity's sake but on the
theory that order al be more quickly
and easily restored among a well-fed
people. If the excuses of the starving
Russians were repeated in Germany it
might be difficult to carry out the
terms Of the armistice. The feeding of
hungry Germany, becomes a common
sense business proposition. Herbert G.
Hoover already has sailed for Europe
to direct the distribution Of food.
