The change is hardly supported
by the governments actions in be-
coming more and mere liberal in pol

the worlomen. However, there is
reason to believe the radicals are
not entirely without basis for their
militarism fears.
Germanys greatest militarism dan
ger comes from The seventy-five
thousand officers and old army men
within close proximity of Berlin, who
made the army their profession for
merly and who are now entirely un-
fitted for any other profession and
are not keen to take up ordinary
work.
1t is an open secret these men
want TO see a semblance of the old
regime back Their situation is pit

country faithfully and are now with
out support, unless the government
continues the old system of grant
ing them government positions as a
reward for their services.
This is just what the radicals fear,
and they are condemning the cabi-

Grafton of officers and soldiers are
no longer to be dealt with. These
men are dangerous in the govern,
ment the radicals claim, since they
could at any time join militarlst
coup.
In addition, the radicals demand
the complete disbanding of the Hin
denlurg army of the east, now
guarding the doors of Russia against
bolshevsm. This, with the other
forces the government has under
arms and the officers and soldiers
at large, gives a military force OF
some three hundred thousand,
which, it is claimed by the radical
leaders. is pledged to rise to arms
in case the proletariat gets the pow
er in Germany.
There is no doubt that the radi-
calls are prompted in their fe-rrs
largely bv resentment that a mil
tary force prevents them from 5oin'
ing forces with the bolsheviks in
Russia. but there is also ground for
their belief that militarists are Sc
cretly organizing and are growing
stronger Whether they would use
their organization against demo-
cratic government is uncertain.

of the day set apart as
sacred to the memory of the
dead heroes of the nation who fought
for the life of the republic and saved
its unity and its liberties has there
been another day so solemnly impress
sive. so filed with inspiring visions
so glorified by high and vast national
undertakings, as this holiday dedi-
Gated to patriotic self-sacrifice and ex-
allied service to mankind. 1t Is the
greatest"of Memorial days, the most
impressive celebration of devotion to
country which is faithful unto death.
In 1898 the coming of Memorial day
found the nation at war, indeed, and
with a fine, unselfish purpose, but the
task was small and easy, for so great
a power, and the world as whole
was quiet. The brief conflict with
Spain in no vital sense resembled the
tremendous world struggle into which
the American republic has been
forced. Now we realize there has been
an altogether different contact with
the most vital and fearfully difficult
problems of mankind, with Opportuni
ties for service which entirely dwarf
the problems and possibilities Of Ii
years ago.
This year the people Of the United
States know that mighty forces hos
tile to American ideals, American prin
ciples of government, American hopes
| and desires, took the field for the tri
umph of reactionary militarism, tn,
divine right Of kings and the suprem
acy of armed power. Now 1t is clea
to all who are neither blinded b,
prejudice nor the victims of stupidit'
and lying that the free nations
the world had to fight for their free
dom, that the countries which low
peace had to battle for their securit
against the upholders Of greed and nc
gressiOn.
