The German Harvest

ID ERLIN. July l0.-The unhappiest pco-
ID pie in Germany arc naturally the
Conservatives the elements that we
group together under the designations Of
Pan-Germans. Prussian aristocracy. Prus-
sian mllitarism. They have lost more
through the than any other class Of
the people in some important respects
They lost thejd cherished ambitions of n
Germany in dominant position in Europe,
enlarged by extensive annexations and en-
riched by huge war indcmnities; they have
lost their political position, their Kaiser
and with him the military machine and the
control 1t gave them over Germany. The
great bureaucratic machinery of Prussia IS
gradually passing out of their hands So
cialist labor leaders are stepping into the
shoes of the district presidents the Social
ist waves have begun to play upon the
economic structure
And thus it comes about that the lamen-
tations called forth by the signing of the
peace treaty were more poignant in the
Conservative press than elsewhere A few
Of the utterances of Conservative papers
may find a place here
The "Pommersche Tagespost," of Stettin,
ranted thus: Burning, boiling hatred must
be kindled in all German hearts. Revenge,
unsparing revenge, will we take upon our
oppressors. Retribution and revenge, in
stead of father and mother, are tho first
words that we want to hear babbled by our
latest bonn children' Yet this wild editor
feels that not even his strong words.

many, and the specific action demanded is
that We again become q power, that we
again forge q German sword as strong and
unconquerable as the old one" He even
thinks immediate faction" is possible: "In
the East the torch of liberty must be
lighted and Its blaze will penetrate victori-
cusly into the West. Forward to
the rescue!r
In comparison with the Stettin paper, the
"Deutsche Tageszeitung," the Pan-Gerhan
organ of Count Reventlow, is mild
Germany is dead" it wrote; Gin place of
Mitteleuropa, which fructified the world
and preserved its peace for more than Sorty
years, there appears a wild chaos in which
Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Wilson
have sowed the dragons teeth of eternal
enmity and most venomous hatred"

Of course, President Wilson comes in for
much sharp criticism in connection with
the signing of the treaty. 1t IS not neces
sary to reproduce remarks Of that kind
here; but the Hamburger Nachrichten."

the final years OF his life, fastened upon
one Of the Presidents sins at Versailles

The humiliation inflicted upon us here
again by our enemies the German people
vii! never forget. 1t is the summit of hui
man brutality to make a theatrical per-
formance out Of an act of state that is to
decide the veal and woe of an entire
people,
IN spite of their deep disappointment
with the peace terms most Germans turn
hopefully to the league of nations That
arrangement Is now their only opening
through which moderation of the harsher
stipulatlons of the treaty can be expected
While there is much genuine sentiment in
favor of the league in itself, suspect that
tins hope OF getting a certain absolution
at least some relaxation of punishment
through the league, is the chief ground for
Its rather marked popularity among Ger
mans. popularity, however, is too strong a
WORD; 1t is an acceptance rather than
whole-hearted approval of the league. The
real friends of the league here-and that
means the present government and all the
democratic elements--wanted a much fur

that adopted at Paris.

which threatened at one time to extend to
the whole country.
The folly Of such strike, from the stand
point of Prussia's finances, was manifest.
Even after aRllway rates have been sharply
advanced the roads are being operated at
heavy loss. The Finance Minister said
last week that the deficit to be met this
year, ii the demands of the railway workers
were yielded to, would reach $500 or prob
ably 1000 million marks. He added that he
had already asked the Assembly for credits
OF 10000 millions, but soon would nave to
ask for an additional 1000 millions. The
wages OF the men had already been so ad-
vahced that the average for the whole
country was 1920 marks per man; but the
new advances asked for would have raised
this figure to 5000 marks
In the negotiations with the workers the
government showed the impossbility of
raising their pay, but offered compromise
in the shape Of an extensive reduction Of
the prices at which foreign food is sold.

reductions will cause clear loss of 1.5oO-
100000 marks to nation, states and towns
within the next three months The railway
organizations accepted this offer and voted
their disapproval Of the strikes Neverthe-
less, the strikers refused for several days
to return to work. preferring to lend an

THE ANGEL INITHE
HOUSE" NIBLEY
HALL TONIGHT

Should we, in our busy work-a-
day lives. bother ourselves about the
coming generation? Hyacinth Psta-
vel believes so. In fact Hyacnth be-
lieves we should go still further and
help the rising generation plant It's
feet firmly and take tender thought
for the unborn. And Hyacinth prac-
tees what he believes.
THE Angel In the House" affords
Hyacinth Petavel an opportunity TO
try out his daring theories. This
play which will be produced again to-
night by the u. A. c. players under
the direction of Miss Sara Hutsman,
in Nibley hall, is one OF the most
,deliciously humorous productions ev.
er written, II is the result of the
Joint of Eden Phillpots and Basil
Hastings and was written for and
produced by II. B. Irving at Savoy
London, in 1915.
The theme of the play Is as fol.
lows:
Hyacinth Petayel. a philosopher
and eugenist tries to make all happy
by arranging their lives to conform
to his ideas OF what constitute beauty
and common sense. 1t is the duty OF
the older generation to so order ev-
ents that the rising and even the
coming generation may be properly
cared for. The deliciously humorous
situations arising out of trying this
philosopher on the younger genera,
ton makes the play a crescendo oil
happy laughter.
The London Times says OF the
play: quite the best thing OF the
kind since Harries, The Admirabl,
Critchton, " which at once places II
without further comment among tn,
best modern comedies.
