reyerent tribute to the men who gave
their lives that the right should pre-

German Peace Delegates.


LONDON, Dec. 9.-Philip Scheide-
mann, member of the present German
government. declared in an interview
with the Berlin correspondent Of a
London newspaper, that Germany will
have six delegates at the peace con-
ference, and that they will be backed
by the national assembly.
"a council Of six persons Will be
selected as peace delegates" Schefde-
mann said. "They will call upon the
national assembly to guarantee Ger
many's good faith to the allies"
Regarding the former kaiser,
Scheidemann said:
"The government is discussing the
question of the trial of persons re-
sponsible for the war"
Scheidemann said he was inclined
toward the belief that Germany ulti-
mately will form republic
Spread Of Disorder.
| IPy J. w. r. Mason, Written For The
United Press.l
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The spread
of tisorer in Germany is beginning to
menace the stability Of the present
combination of moderate socialists,
Bolshevism is not threatened, but
more radical policy on the part of the
government Is certain eventually TO
result.
The Ebert-Haase group which now
theoretically controls the affairs OF
the government, has in practice very
little power and has been able to ac-
complish nothing in the way OF econo-
mic reform. The workers in German
Industries are still negotiating with
their employers who make promises
one day and break them the next.
This situation cannot last. Yet, 1t is
not possible for the Ebert-Hasse
group to promulgate a. present effect
i've regulations on behalf of the work
ers because no sufficient power ex-
lists in Germany for carrying out or
.ders issued in Berlin.
The present status cannot be i'm
proved until the forthcoming consti-
tuent assembly determines upon Ger
many's future form OF government
and the people accept the decision.
Germany is now without head and
is in a condition of formal anarchy.
That the usual anarchic conflicts do
not prevail is due to the mate sense OF
obedience drilled for many genera
tons into the German character and
also the fear of utter destruction that
might be Germany's lot if the condi-
lions of Russia were to be duplicated.
The disorders now threatening Ger
many give evidence of being econo-
mic in origin rather than political, and
for that reason they can be quelled
by an improvement in the material
