Warsaw, July 19.-Germany is her
self again-her old self, after found
cring around through eight months or
revolution, she has regained her poise.
and feels sure of her old imperial
strength again. All she needs is wal

The change in Germany in the past
two months needs to be understood
because it is dangerous. When | left
Germany in April after going through
five months of the ups and downs or
revolution with the German people, !
could see they had been driven toward
democracy, but | thought it was be-
cause they had been confused by the
constant Spartacan revolts. But cross
ing Germany, as l have just now done,
from east to west, ! find Germany so
comfortably settled back into her old
ways that | can hardly there ever was
a revolution there. Perhaps there new
er was in the true sense. There was
only a great defeat
Bolshcvism 'Ironcd Out
After two months away from Ger
many two things struck me at once.
First, the Bolshevik danger is over
in Germany. Noskes army. his
iunker officers and farmer-boy SOL
diers, united, with what Hindenburg
succeeded in saving of the old army
have crushed revolt. They had the
materials of war, everything from
their iron hats to their endless
strings of machine gun ammunition,
and they were directed by the same
old excellent German general staff,
They rolled their artillery around Ger
many and ironed Bolshevism out!
Moreover, they rolled east with this
iron hated ffrmer-boy army up
along the corridor into Russia" and
ironed out Lithuania, COurland, Lif-
land--everything right up to and be-
yOnd Riga. They did this at our be-
hest. Part of the armistiCe conditions
was that the Germans should police
that squirming borderland, and they
did a first class job of it. They did 1t
under orders from Spa, but the job
was not distasteful to them.
Our idea was not to leave them
there forever, but the Germans whose
historical sense is excellent, remem-
her that East Prussia became German
because the Poles once invited some
so-called German knights to go up
there and police that region. In those
days the parIance was that they had
gone up there to Christianize the hea-
then Let's. But they built some Ger
man forts, brought in a lot of Ger
man settlers, eventually made the
country German, and now the Poles
cannot get to the sea without being
sque eZed.
Imperialism Returns.
Second. AS BolsheVism went down
imperialism came up. For Bolshevism
was put down by the imperial type of
German, the junker officer. He knew
how to put an iron hat on any soldier
stuff and make it move. When the
Noske army was first beginning last
spring it was really funny sometimes
to see how much hardware there
would be surrounding one callow pale
faced youth. His solid-looking boots
a string of "potato-masher" bombs
strung around his waist, with rifle
thicker than his arm and an iron hat
apparently about to crush him, he was
something for a burly unshaven, dis
armed Spartacan to see. Without his
hardware the Spartacan could have
knocked him silly, but in this case
gunpowder not only made all men
equally tall but it gave the callow
youth all the advantage-the gunpow-
der, that is to say, distributed by the
old German general staff.
All but military men have latterly
been inclined to overlook that uanger-
Gus machine the German general
staff. Because the morale of Germany
