The change has been wrought, II is
said, by the lack OF sympathy In the
entente countries for ~ present eco
nomic, social and political conditions
in Germany.
Germans who stlll retain the old
milltaristic Ideals are confident that In
case the government should turn the
country over TO the Spartacans the Al
lies would not attempt TO occupy the
remainder OF Germany for some time.
AS one Pan-German. is reported to have
said, The world is sick OF war; there
ls unrest everywhere; and the entente
can't take Germany anyway"
The foreign ofilce is selling upon
everything possible to protest 10 the
Allies as part OF the general resistance.
Count Won Bernstorff has Joined the
4 democrats and become The govern
ments principal adviser on foreign af-
fairs. lie publicly accuses France OF
changing the boundaries OF Lorraine.
"it is very evident" he said recently
that France proposes, II possible, TO
seize the purely German Saar Basin.
The German government has protested
against arbitrary change In the Lor-
raine frontier. yet Clemenceau persists
In claiming the Saar Basin"
This same sentiment was evident In
Chancellor Ebert's speech before the
national assembly, condemning the
seizure" OF Alsaee-Lorraine and the
delayed repatriation OF German war
prisoners. while Edward David, presl-
dent Of the assembly showed the same
open defiance In his greeting 10 "our
captive Alsatian and Lorrainian broth
ers."
There is strong movement under /
way for political naturalization OF the |
foreign oflce 10 enable old experienced |
officials. under Foreign Minister Brock

united front at the peace conference.
The national assembly will take up for
eign problems on Tuesday. They will /
arst be submitted 10 open debate and
then will be worked out by committees.
