SPECIALIST SAYS
 GERMAN AFFAIRS
 ARE IN BAD WAY

PARIS, Feb. 21.-Doctor Alonzo Taylor, who is food specialist, returning from a visit to Germany, said that the German government as at present constituted, appears to be the same bureaucratic regime of the kaser's day; and that it does not represent the forces caus- ing the revolution.
 Count von Bernstorff, former German ambassador at Washington, is in charge of the affairs of the government pertaining to it's re- lations with America. The Germans appear to be afraid to put untried men in the service.
 Unemployed men in Berlin are paid eight marks a day, while railway workers and street cleaners get only six marks. Immoral plays, which were formerly prohibited, are now permitted; footing and petty thievery are common and the public morals are low.
 The food situation is critical and pOrtends grave distress unless i'm mediate relief measures are taken.
 The lack of fuel and raw ma terials has resulted in the closing down of nearly all the German in. dustries and adds greatly to the general distress throughout the country.
