e. Reluctant to Work.
Another detail which suggests Rus

lhrt Of the masses of the population
tb go to work There are 26S.0o0
men in Berlin alone drawing unem-
ployment rations. and the other day,
after a heavy snoWstorm, ca.- ior

$3.50 day. enlisted only thirty vol
unteers.
The same phenomenon is reported
il Belgium, where conditions are by
no means as hopeful as might have
been expected. But in Germany this
refusal to work presented a very
much more serious problem. 1t Is

Revolution Regarded as Faka.
As b the revolution itself. an
American recently returned from
Germany gives me an admirable
statement It is regarded by a ma
5Ority Of Germans as having been
Irothing more nor less than q fake.
There are two local reforms which
the German people as a mass mean
% be demanding. First. complete
change in methods of taxation which
1ill place portion of the burden of
taxation upon the shoulders of the
Tealthy, thus supplying san equitable
division of taxation between the rich
and poor. and. second. a complete
Intionalizing. or syndicatizing, Of the
great Industries.
eThese two things were the main
p4anks in the socialistic platform.
Come to power, the social democrats
have totally failed to do either, and
the men who were leading the social
democratic party in the new national
assembly are moving away rather
than toward such reforms. The cleo
tion at which the recent national as
sembly was chosen was conducted

View Of Vienna Editors
To quote the comment made by a
conspicuous Vienna editor. himself a
| liberal:
"You couldn't expect the Germans
to go to sleep monarchists and wake
up republicans"
And to the extent that this is true
he points out that it is impossible
! the yoke of the old-timers, or prevent
/ them from continuing to insifuate
themselves into the affairs Of nations
with their lying propasanda' and their
evil ways. : <
The greater the delay in making
serious social disturbances all over
the world. and the longer the delay
the stronger Germany gets and the
more she hopes to profit by our
weakness. -, :
German Policy at Conference.
From Berlin there comes to me q
at the peace conference will consist
of three distinct divisions:
The effort to exploit the differences
between the allies as these differ
ences have developed during the de-
bates in the Paris conference.
An Interpretation of Mr.. Wilson'S
fourteen points in such fashion as to
develop a breach between the Amer
lean delegation and the allies; and
The plan mentioned by my Vienna
witness to refuse to accept the terms
actually imposed and compel the al
lies to occupy Germany, hoping not
only to cause unrest in the allied
countries and corrupt the allied ar.
mics with bolshevism. but also to In
sure the protection OF their own prop
erty through the presence OF allied
armies Of occupation
Another Strange Paradox.
But 1t this point It is necessary to
emphasize another strange paradox.
The German becomes more and more
arrogant in tone and manner, but I
have yet to, find anybody who has
been in Germany, either in the occu-
pied districts or beyond the Rhine,
who believes that the German will
fight again. not merely today or to-
morrow. but for a long time to core.
The disintegration Of the army has
been complete. In many places dis
respect, and more than disrespect, is
| shown for the old officers.
In calculating upon escaping from
the allied terms Of peace the German
fs not relying upon any possibility
of resistance. Moreover, all re-
sistance will obviously be impossible,
because a restoration Of the blockade
would mean immediate starvation in
Germany.

Asked Advice of French.
Across the Rhine. I'm the occupied
district, a French officer told me that
in the palatinate in many cases Ger:
mans came to the French officers and
asked them how they should vote.
Now, one has to set against this-aH
disorder testified to by all travellers
another circumstance which Is exciting
equally universal attention-namely. a
return Of the old arrogance, the old de-
fiance, tho thing that puzzled the world
before the war and aroused 1t during
the conflict.
After the period Of detection inme-
diately following defeat the German
was for a moment contemplate crea-
ture He was stunned He whined
where he used to bluster. He was
abject where once he was arrogant
An American s.yilian recently return
ed from Vienna supplies an interesting
account OF this transformation: While
he was in Vienna he talked with Ger
mans, witt correspondents coming out
u
Austrian papers, and was more and
more impressed, as so many others have
been, by the fact that all this testi-
mony indicated Germany did not re-
gard herself as beaten.
Just Felt It Was Time to Quit.
Intelligent men explained to him that
Germany got out Of France because she
wished to shorten her lines: that she
BOD
the contrary, came to the conclusion
that it was time to stop. and therefore
quit. Her economic situation was bad,
the morale low, the bolshevist propa-
ganda and the effect of the blockade on
the civilians are held responsible for
the armistice. The armies did not lose
the war. The revolution and the civilian
collapse behind the lines were RESPONSE
BILE.
Like every one else, this commenta-
to- reports growing spirit of ar
rogance, becoming more and more evil

many, and he calls attention to the
fact mentioned above, that though the
moderate socialists were victorious on
the face of the returns, the majority
undersecretaries are still in Office. and it
is the Same old spirit that - really

Guided by Old Greed.
Ebert, Scheideman and Noske arc
outwardly agents Of socialists, but
inwardly they are guided by the old
creed. AS far as the fofeign Office is
concerned, Brockdorn Rantzau. while
generally held to be liberal, proclaim
ed in his speech at Weimar ideas that
might have come from Zimmerman.
Bernstorff and Dernberg are still act
ing in an advisory capacity with the
foreign Office and American cor
have been sounded as to
how Americans would take the ap-
pointment of Bernstorff as peace
commissioner. This same witness tells
me that the old military outfit backed
the Spartacist movement at the start
and are still playing with bolshevism
to preserve it as a threat by which to
terrorize the allies.

p COVENANTS

Further light is shed upon a dark
spot by some very direct and cate
gorical statements in various news
papers. including some most favor
able to the President and his schemes
AT Paris. The New York Sun OF Sat
urday last March 21) reported with
much detail the censoring, deleting,
and m%utilating OF one Of its editor
| ial articles which had been cabled
over TO the Echo de Paris. The lat
ter. IL viii be recalled, Is the very
important Paris paper, at times the
semi-official organ OF the French
Foreign Office, which, according to
Mr.. Andre ~Cheradame, has hitherto
suffered greatly from such censor
ship. The editorial which was thus
withheld from the French reading
public a as might be supposed,
one relating to the Presidents Lea
que OF Nations scheme.
The case was a fragrant one; so
fragrant that other papers, the rivals
and political opponents OF the sun
and thick-and-thin supporters OF the
| President, were forced to take notice
of II. Thus the New York Times on
the same day had a special wireless
| dispatch from a correspondent in
| Paris to precisely the same effect as
that In the Sun itself. II declared
| that the incident was a demonstration
of "the French governments incllna-
ton to suppress newspaper criticism
of President Wilson's attitude in re-
gard TO the League OF Nations The
Sun also, as a necessary matter OF
form, charged the act against the
French censorship, which is OF course
nominally responsible for 1t.
IL is pertinent to inquire, however
whether the French government Is
really so solicitious for the success
of the Presidents scheme as to dc
these things at its desire n IN
itiative.
Mr.. Cheradame, as we have already
recalled, states explicitly that tive
American experts are working In The
office of the French censorship, anf
he most reasonably assumes that theii
special function is to censor news
from the United States to the French
press. II is indeed impossible Il
imagine any other plausible excuse
for their being there. The inevitable
assumption Is, therefore, that 1t wa!
they who mutilated the Sun editorial
The pertinent inquiries therefore rise
Why did they do It? At whose In
stance were these american experts
attached to the French censorship
Whose interests are they serving i
/ preventing the French public fror
: knowing how strongly the Presiden
IL opposed in his own country?
IL seems quite possible that tn
. French government would courteous
ly grant q request from the Unite
States government that two Amer
q can experts" be attached as aids !
It's censorship; and we have no doul
4 that two such expert aids could |
found who would carefully supprei
anything that the President did n
q want published.-Harvey's Weekly.
