into an agricultural as well as an
industrial land.
In the industrial centers, especially
the Rhineland, the problem is one OF
securing both business and supplies
for manufacture. - Factories, turned
suddenly into war production or built
for that purpose, cannot be turned
back to peaceful pursuits in a month
as they.were turned to war. Especi
ally is this true in view of the dilap-
idation of most industries. 1t all
hinges on the proposition that the
Germans did not expect to lose the
war and made no advanced prepare
tions for a peace without victory
rubles. Germans realize that their
recovery from the tremendous debt the
country faces depends upon the field
of commerce they get in Entente and
They expected to live off the defeat
until industry could be. restored.
Last Testament of the Militarsts.
The last testament of the militar-
lists to the new republic is worn out
industry, through which a certain
class Of proliteers have become rich
but which, as means of giving Ger
man labor employment to make d
living, depends entirely on what help
the Germans can beg from the world
they have been fighting. Not only
does Germany need the material with
which TO manufacture, but she also
needs the market in which TO sell as
well. Her wealth consists of labor
only-most of the other forms OF
wealth have been hurled by cannons
out of the country.
Germany's industry begins with the
decided disadvantage of being at the
grace of hostile market, in addition
TO decentralization. Russia as mar
ket is not over attractive at present;
with money mostly worthless paper

that the German workman, who form
erly was industrious and reliable, has
deteriorated during the war-trench
life has it's effect. The future is not
bright.

CARL y. GROAT.

Paris, April 9.-Despite all the
British and French delegates have
said regarding an agreement for an
Easter peace, President Wilson, il is
perfectly evident. does not in any
way agree that peace is so near al
hand. He-takes the firm stand that
the allies must go back to the original
fourteen points. which he feels have
been somewhat abandoned recently
and conclude a peace with these as
a basis.
1t is stated even more emphatically
than heretofore that unless the
president can reach some such agree
ment, he will, as was threatened,
last week. return to the United States
before any decision whatever is
reached
Some Tension Exhibited.
Paris, April 9.-The peace confer,
ence exhibits extreme tension and it is
believed that another critical stage
has been reached.
One of the responsible authorities
associated with President Wilson said
that he would not be surprised If
American participation was brought to
an early close if the delays were car.
ried much further.
The differences still remaining on
the subjects of frontiers and repara.
tions are comparatively slight, he add.
ed, and yet these slight differences ere
so persistently maintained as to
threaten 20 create prolonged delays,
which the president and American
delegation are not willing to accept.
The president was described as
standing firm in his Determination to
make no further concessions. He in
sists that the principles which were
definitely agreed on at the time of the
armistice are at stake. There is little
doubt that the presidents stand mas
been made known to the other me-
bers of the council.
Paris, April s. - Premier Lloyd
George, his cold being better, was to
confer with President Wilson. In or.
der to make the appointment the pre-.
mier suddenly deferred his scheduled
speech to correspondents. The Incl.
dent was regarded as significant in
view Of speculation as to whether his
speech will reveal any alignment with
the president or otherwise.
The council Of four met at the resi-
dence of Premier Lloyd George. Pres
ident Wilson was not present but
Planned to attend the meeting later
at the Paris white House." The over
night tension in peace conference cir
cles had not been dispelled when the
council Of four met.

streets, the provisional government
allowed amounts varying from eight
to fifteen marks to men, depending
on the families they supported.
This has become a still greater evil.
Men who can draw twelve marks for
not working at all, would not accept
fifteen marks for working. 1t takes
a lot of good intentions for the or
binary workingman to accept a job
digging snow off the Berlin streets
for three marks additional a day,
especially if he figures the Father
land owes him good long vacation,
anyway, for the services he rendered
at the front. In this connection it
may be observed that women for the
most part swept the snow off the Ber-
lin streets this winter, just as they
did in the past war winters.
The Workmen's Benefit.
This workman's benefit has be-
come a real danger for the govern
ment. 1t cannot quit paying the mon :
ey to the voorhees, for fear Of upris-
ing of workmen's soviets. Once the
government tried and it had to give
in under threats. Once the govern
ment tried to reduce expenses by
adjusting the payment for volunteer
guadrs, hwti the result that the gov
eminent was surrounded and had to
continue the high pay. The governt
ment may be stronger now, though it
still is apprehensive of adjusting the
labor problems and of making men
go to work. Workmen have learned
the use of force and the government
knows it.
Like all countries, Germany is suf-
fering under a movement to the big
cities, where there is less work, less
food and more trouble. Still the
voorhees, stay where the music is gay
and where dancing is the only thing
that can be found in unlimited guam
titles. 1t is noticeable that in Ger
many there is an extraordinarily large
number of young men among the
voorhees,. For the most part they are
unmarried and irresponsible. There
seems to have been fewer marriages
in Germany during the war than in
any other land, with the result that
cities are flooded with reckless dare
devil young characters, who have lit
tie aim in life as their legacy from
four years of trench life and two
more years of military service in the
kaiser's army.
Land Needs Men.
The land in Germany needs men,
and the government already has
plans for supplying those who want
ground from the huge estates that
have been confiscated Though there
is food and prosperity among the
/, farmers, the difficulty is in finding
men who will go to the land. A great
movement is being organized and a
tremendous campaign is being con-
Quoted by means of poster and mag
aZine propaganda. Germans who are
familiar with the labor problem feel
that this is big step in the solution
of >the workingman's situation, if he
viii go to the country. 1t will 7ac-
complish the double purpose of feed
ing the population and supplying
work.
1t is possible that the success of
this movement will change Germany
