MENOF OLD REGIME
STILL At BERLIN JOBS
pY rRANlS 4. rAYLoR

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent.)
BERLIN, Feb. 4. (By. mall lin
Berlin one is surprised to find the
large number OF men OF the old gov
ernment who are still holding their
petitions under the socialist regime.
The foreign office and practically all
OF the state departments have about
the same staffs as held during the
war.
In many cases the heads of depart
ments are changed but the same group
OF undsr-secretarie works under a so
cialistic head Very often the entire
department is dependent upon these
under Secretaries. The majority So
cialists under Chancellor Ebert saved
many iof these technical mon. as
they are called, and Il is due to them
that German executive departments
have confined to function in spite Of
revolution.
According to the former employees
and representatives of tho new gov-
ernment, the fact that men who serv-
cd the militaristic party are now
working with the socialists is not to
be looked upon with suspicion by the
allies, or to be taken as an indication
that the government is any less So
cialist.
1 Views Not Factor.
In Germany the departments OF
state are run upon n system whereby
a man starts in one as u yougster and
1 grows up with the department. HIS
views viii not keep him out of office
\ Many of the former kaiser's technica
men protest they never have been II
sympathy with the militaristic party
and always have been liberals.
Though the radicals would throw
all these men out, because they are
!. democrats rather than socialists. the
. majority socialists have taken a broad
: err view in the interests Of keeping
government machinery functioning,
Numerous departments operate nov
: without active heads practically al
: well as they did under the old re
gime.- a large part OF the efficienc!
is due to good organization. but th
men trained by the old government

When cross, irritable, feverish, or

a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit

foul, constipated waste, sour bile
and undigested food passes out of
the bowels, and you have well,
