,srARrs, Feb. IA wave OF Pan-Ger-
rranism is sweeping over Germany re-
vtving old nationalist currents and en-
sulfng all elements of the various par
ties, sparing not even the Spartacans. II
may become new and important fac
tor in the Peace Conference.
The movement, which became appar-
ent early this week, is travelling with
great rapidly, according to Information
received by the correspondent OF THs
SrN from an authentic and usually well
informed quarter.
Germans everywhere in the old en-
pire, spurred on, it is said, by the deh-
ant attitude OF their old chiefs. are be-
coming again arrogant, walking about
with their heads held high and pro-
claiming themselves unvanqushed.
The existing Socialist government
has undertaken, II Is asserted. the d.
roction OF this Pan-German propaganda
and an attempt will he made soon. u
is predicted. TO nourish back to its for
rner vgor the Committee Of Six. 1t is
even announced that 1t is intended to
form Immediately new Cabinet, to be
comprised of men who always have
been the most faithful supporters of the
old military clique.
kuItur Bureau at Work.
Meanwhile the notorious Kultur
bureau OF Wilhelms,rasse, under the
guidance OF It's old pilots, is in full
operation.
News received in Paris is that the
Pan-Germanist revival is in full swing
everywhere A typical incident is the
address sent by the parties of the Right
70 the Kaiser on his sixtieth birthday.
The exile of Amerongen, who is in semi
captivity, still dreams of return to
power, and II Is said he has received
thousands OF letters swearing fidelity to
HIM.
Other signs Of the sudden revival of
the military spirit are not lacking. For
several days the German newspapers
have been discussing the question OF re-
sponsibili;y for the war in surly Ian
guage and with "A sarcastic tenor. in
which they seem to reflect exactly the
state of mind OF the public.
Some of them denounce the charge
that Germany is responsible for the war
and again place the blame on Russia.
Belgium. they say. merits ali that she
blame for not protecting herself suffi-
rienty against the aggressions OF the
French and British.
Old Generals Get Hearing.
Generals OF the old caste again have
gained the ear of the public and are
discussing more and more each day the
question Of the future Of the German
army. All seem to arrive ut the con-
ciusion that the army of the German
republic must be at least as good and
as powerful as that OF the German En-
pire In 1914. This idea seems to domi-
rate every movement of the present
government, which is seeking to eH
plot the Emergencies of views that It
pretends to discover between France,
Great Britain and America.
The French view OF the present situa
ton in Germany is plainly one Of
alarm. Prevailing opinion favors the
full use of the powers under the arn1is-
tee TO cope with menace which is
regarded as decidedly dangerous. VIII
Rerlin be occupied by the allied troops?
Is the question now being asked.
