BERLIN. June 1o.-CBy MALL
Germany hasn't yet lost her dream Of
military conquest. Or perhaps II is
more accurate TO say that some per-
sons within Germany still cherish
hopes for the regeneration OF mill
tarism.
\ few ambitious men are anxious
to have Germany build up her youth
thru physical training in the schools.
so that some day. when the present
war is well in the background and
peace Is years old, Germany can build
a new military machine
To say this is a general hope would
be far from the truth The common
people don't want any more war.
Some of them frankly say they had
enough OF 1t the first day they were
In 1t. And there are plenty who now
say that the kaiser misled them, and
that the military crowd betrayed him.
Certain II is that the liberals feel
there was much blindness about the
causes OF the war, and the reasons
for continuing IT, Gegmany was fed
"a lofiiVh'' ioi a iVhR
time. and with successes came a lust
for more victories and more territory.
But rcverses and the final giimmer-
ings of the truth as to the kaiser and
militarism converted many Germans
from the policies OF iron and blood.
True, there was from the time of
the armistice to the time of presenta-
ton of the peace terms many OF the
'old guard in power. And some OF
these felt that there was a chance for
Germany ito come back" To them
the allied peace terms proved the
greatest shock: tho everywhere there
was surprise that the victors' terms
proved as strong as they did.
y The liberals complained that Ger
many chung too much to the things
OF the past--that too many men with
kaiser affiliations stayed on after the
republic was formed. And. strange
to say, the flag of the empire has
been more in evidence than the flag
OF the republic.
In fact, in the demonstrations OF
May is. an American here for sew
eral months declared that he had
seen The republican colors for the
first time.
An example of how Germany has
persisted in the things of the past is
illustrated in its publicity. Here
there is still propaganda and
considerable figuring as TO whether
this or that piece of news will be
favorable TO Germany when 1t goes
abroad.
The first day that this writer
talked with a German official he was
asked as To whether certain bits OF
Information would be kindly received
In America. And 80 1t goes.
Many believe, however, that. after
all. new deal is about to come in
Germany. which shall make her
more truly liberal than she has been
In recent years. As for militarism,

jITNEY WENT 175 FEET AFTER
 STRIKING BOY
Two New Witnesses Sc Swear Today Before
 Coroner.

The jitney which struck and killed Elmer Ogden, J~-, on Christmas Day at Stratford avenue and Pembroke street ran over 175 feet after it hit the boy, two new witnesses in the case told Coroner Pnelan today. Spenc ar B. Peck, 29 Maiden Lane, said he saw the car, driven by Dominick Reale, go almost 10 the corner of Maiden Lane and Pembroke street, after the boy had been hit. The stopping place is between 175 and 18o feet beyond the scene of the fatality, he said. John Schneider, 105 Linen avenue, thought the jitney went about the same distance.
 Reale had previously claimed his car went only a short distance after hitting young Ogden. He went back on the stand today and said he thought the new witnesses were mis- taken about the distance. He first said he did not know he hit the boy when his car had gone some distance beyond the point of the accident and that he went back to the scene be- fore he was informed of what had happened. Later he changed his story and said that after he reached the corner of Maiden Lane he was told of the accident and then drove back to where the body was. The coroner reserved his finding.

CLARA ELDER
 HAD NO RIGHT
 TO GIVE TITLE
New Locks Were Placed on Church Doors Barring
 Out Members.

Claiming that former Elder James 1T. Williams conveyed the church premises to Annie Simmons without authority and that new locks were placed on the doors so that church m en1bers were unable to hold services there, the Church of God and the Saints of Christ of this city has started suit against William and Annie Sim mons. In papers filed today in the Superior court a. reconyeyance of the property and damages of S1000 are asked.
 It Is alleged that in 1908 the church mortgaged the premises to Frank Mil Ter and that the property was held in the name of Williams, as trustee for the church.
 It is claimed the mortgage debt was paid to Miller who gave a quit claim deed back to Williams. The premises are on Charles street.
 The complaint states that Williams, although he had no right to the property as an individual, conveyed the property to Annie Simmons, H ho now holds possession. Williams was elder of the church and conducted services there until November 1 last It was after that date that the locks are said to have been changed. Tho church wants the court to declare the conveyance to Annie Simmons void and to order the premises re- conveyed by Williams to George H. Gibson, present elder of the church.
