NEW GERMANY HAS ALMOST
HOPELESS TROUBLE LEGACY

| Germans themselves say, and do SO
without regret in their voices. The
| Germans have had enough Of great
men, and seem glad to trust their
future to mediocre, honest citizens.
This carpenters relchstag," as it
has been called, has already
weathered storms of opposition, dur
ing the trying months when the
| Ebert-Scheidemann party guided
| Germany from militarism, and put to
flight the adoption Of provisional
republic constitution Of Weimar, on
February 10. The great mass OF
German people have expressed their
confidence in at least the honesty
and Improbable good Intentions OF
the "citizen congress"
How successful these "citizen
statesmen" if they can be called
that, will be, can be told only by
time. If they succeed in bringing
Germany out of the muddle Of
tangled political, social, economic
and foreign problems, it will be an
everlasting tribute to the republican
form of government. If they fail
and have to call for help from out
side Germany, as no small proper
ton of Germans who are pessimistfc
predict, it will be because the mill
tarists and the Junkers left too much
of a dead legacy to carry in these try
ing times.
Just what tremendous difficulties
the new republic faces cannot be ap-
preciated fully nor described in their
PROPER relations by foreigner,
especially when German leaders
themselves cannot straighten out in
their own minds these problems,
which change almost daily.
But there are high lights that
stand out, or group themselves under
heads, and the best a correspondent
can do Is describe these problems as
they appear, not so much to for
eigner, but to Germany's republican
cabinet, which is trying to master
them all at once. The following
series of articles on Germany's situa-
ton politically, socially, economi-
cally, and in other phases that can
be covered, may be altered by the
time these stories get to print. but
they will describe the chaotic, COM
plicated, unrestful situation out OF
which the new German republic was
born.
