Berlin, April 24-(By MailD-
Since its birth the Greman republic
has had to decide between two op-
! posite extremes to maintain itself
and keep from being overthrown by
the radicals.
L. Bowling to the demands Of the
proletariat and becoming radical, a.
most to the extent of communism,
or at least extreme socialism.
2. Becoming militaristic and fol-
lowing the methods of the old Ger
man government of crushing oppo-
sition by force.
More and more it is becoming
clear that the cabinet chose the lat
ter course, probably in self-defense
and under the pretext of saying Ger
many from bolshevism.
What is more serious, both to the
Germans and other peoples, is that
the German republic is becoming
handy with miltarism, and under
the cover of resisting bolshevism
is trying to hide the strength of the
republics military machine.
Figuring that the new republic,
if it were really pacific, would be
willing to make a showdown" Of
Germany's military strength to
convince the outside world Of good
intentions, the United Press cores
pondent asked the war office for
some data.
Finally the war office sent for the
correspondent and an agreeable
young captain explained how weak
Germany is at present, militarily.
He said Germany could not even re-
sist the boishevists, if the latter
chose to rise.
Asked what the actual strength
of the German forces is, the cap
tain replied that the war office it,
self did not know This ignorance
of the war office, he explained by
the fact that numerous leaders were
organizing new volunteer units. The
captain then declined to guess the
strength of the German forces on
the grounds that he did not want
the figures published "for fear the
bolshevists would see how weak the
militia is and overthrow it."
Every man in the army is volun
teer, according to the war office
Berlin is crowded with soldiers
scattered over the city, but this is
due to the fact, says the war office,
that members of the old army reg
ulars who are no longer on active
duty, have to be housed. Hence
the crowded barracks. The war of
flee offered no explanation as to why
these men were fed and housed,
though inactive, and the active work

vestigation of all the hospitals of the
state of New York, After completing
his work in New York he went to Phila-
delphia as superintendent of the baby
hospital there, and from that institu-
ton he went to the Good Samaritan
hospital, which is operated in connec-
ton with the Temple university.
The best possible service to the pa
tient is the object Mr.. Davidson has al
ways in mind. "All facilities of a hos
pital should converge to that one aim,"
he says. Generally speaking, the great
need here is for more nurses. We want
to attract the very best type of young
women for this work, and to do thai
we are going to offer the best training
possible, with living conditions for the
nurses and students In training as near
on a par with the living conditions OF
their homes as We can attain. Nursing
is perhaps 10 per cent Of the care a
hospital has to offer a patient, and we
are determined to put the nursing of
the hospital on a plane that will inspire
the full confidence of the patients and
the public"
When Mr., Wilkes came to the Bap-

Newspaper editors, according to the
document, were forbidden under dire
penalties to discuss any subject relating

only such news was published as the

Confidential Advice.

The former head of the great NUM-
ton plant at Essen who possessed COM
plete Information as to the operations
OF the military authorities here declared
that there was hardly a day during all
the long wal when the editorial offices
OF the German daily press were not
%'honored' by the receipt Of conflden-
tial communications, orders and proht-
billions from the censorship authorities,
calculated to limit free expression of
opinion on the most vital questions and
ultimately to throttle It."
The Germans, for instance, were
never. to b. charged with conducting a
ruthless" u-boat war, but rather an
unlimited or ''houndless'' war.
Descriptions Of devastation in France
and Belgium were forbidden and all
references to barbarism and wanton
destruction were taboo, with the sig
nificant expression: THE army knows

DIR, Muehlon recalls tho fact that In
those dark days the German people
were fed upon roseate accounts OF con-
ditions in Turkey, that the sultan's
army was strong n sufficient and
the Turks were a valuable ally with
the enormous masses Of troops that we
had TO send to Turkey" continues the
pamphlet, 'it was pretty strong to sug-
gost to the press that the Turkish army
reserve was adequate, 1t was a DELHI

Censorship Regulations.
1t must be understood, writes Or.
Muehlon's collaboration, that all the cen
sorshtp regulations under which the
newspapers were operating were UNI
known to the people, Tho distortion OF

After months Of deception in trying
