where Is Declining.

Paris, April 12.-Reports from Ger
many indicate that the prestige of the
present German government slowly is
declining.
This process has tended to weaken
the official attitude toward the sign
ing of the peace treaty and President
Ebert is reported to have stated in
conversation with an intimate that the
government would have to sign any
peace the Allied and associated gov
ernments may impose.

varia, a corresponding movement in
NortherE Germany, and the arrest of
Minister Landsburg, intellectual leader
Of the majority Socialists governing
group are taken by those studying
German conditions as symptomatic OF
what is to be expected in case the
present government falls-namely the
establishment of a new regime, based,
not upon universal suffrage and demo-
cratic elections, but on the action Of
the proletariat and the elimination
from the body polite of the bourgeois
population.
Information received from the lega-
lions in the countries adjacent to Ger
many indicate the gradual weakening
of its power and authority, although
it is still able to control the situation
in the capital and in the greater part
of the country by virtue of Minister
Noske's force of disciplined volunteer
troops.
Reports from Germany indicate that
the Weimar government will not at
tempt active Intervention in Munich,
for which the forces at it's disposal
are inadequate and will confine itself
to an attitude Of passive disapproval.

EASTER

Il is Easter, the gladness of Easter Is

II is Easter, the sweetness OF Easter

The newly leaved boughs of the trees
are low swinging,
The birds have come back to their
homes and are singing,
The blossoms / missed have tome
back to the meadow,
Every last cloud has gone, and gone
with it its shadow!
And each grief that was crowding
about me and showing
Is gone; for my loves shall come back
to my loving.
1t is Easter; the lilies of Easter are
swayingl
And the babies, their tresses all wind
blown, are playingl
And their wee fingers fashion me gar
lands of clover
It is Easter-I grieved but my grlev-
ing is over!
For the ones whom ! loved, and who
left me back yonder,
Have grown nearer with Easter,
grown nearer and fonder;
And when the breeze touches the
tree-boughs low-swinging
I almost feel their loving, ! almost
hear their singing.
And so all the gladness of Easter Is
round me,
Its gladness, its love and its peace
have all found me;
To the ones whom / grieved for my
arms are now nearer -
They were far and apart, now they're
nearer and dearerl
And each Easter that comes brings
o me near to the going
! will find them and love them. I
know they are knowingl
l count up the casters until I have
found them,
With my lips on their hair and my
arms tight around them.
