REPORTS GERMANY
LITTLE HURT BY WAR
Henry Morgenthau Says Ma
tion Is Dynamo of Strength
Practically Unimpaired.

, BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, September 19.-"Germany
came through this war a perfect dy-
namo of strength. Her human mill
tary power is practically as great as
ever and her 65.000,000 people have
| been schooled and hardened by trials.
They have learned economy and self
Genial.
The nation has been compressed
into a concentrated mass, which is
surcharged with energy and moving
with centripetal force, while Ger
many's neighbors are spreading them
selves out thin, and quarreling and
moving with centrifugal force"
Thus spoke Henry Morgenthau. who
headed the United States investiga-
ton commission which has been at
work in Poland, in discussing today
his observations in central Europe.
Forecasts the Future.
And what will be the result" Mr.
Morganthau asked. Replying to his
own question, he continued:
IF disintegration keeps up among
but one result. l doubt whether Ger
many fully appreciates her own
strength. AS she sits calmly watch
ing the dickering going on between
the-new states, which are losing sight
of great principles and fighting over
little strips of territory, she must
take grim satisfaction in the battle
her enemies are waging in her be-
half, and Germany encouraged by
such discord among weak and strug-
Cling states undoubtedly will resort
to arms within a few years and re-
gain her lost territory.
What will prevent the military
clique from regaining control in Ger
many if Europe continues to offer
such tempting prizes to various ma
tionalities? Such Il situation will not
encourage Germany to regain her
trade by peaceful means and to pay
indemnitieS.

Mi1itarists Watchful.

1T will not satisfy the militarists of
Germany to return to the factories if
their war-torn neighbors weaken
themselves further and deliberately
offer themselves as prey to the Prus-
sian spirit
What is to encourage the demo-
Gratis in Germany who are trying to
get away from militarism? Europe
rapidly is driving on toward a situa-
tion which eventually must result in a
coalition between Russia and Ger
many and the absolute destruction OF
many of the newly created powers un-
less steps be taken to prevent it.
Opinion is strong that the league
of nations is the only means for pre-
venting such disaster, and it must
come soon and have the loyal support
of both great and small powers.
Greece. Italy, Jugoslavia, Czecho-
slavakia, Poland and other European
which have been fought
over and are in a sadly weakened con-
dition, need the support of some or
ganization which will afford them the
proper tribunal for their disputes and
assist them in winning their publics
away from the idea that war Is the
only means Of getting justice.

Allied Guns Menace Fiume.

PARIS, September 20.-Capt Ga
briele d Annunzio may be given twen-
ty-four hours to move his forces out
of Fiume. upon which city squadron
of allied warships have turned their
guns, according to advices received
here by way of Berlin. Laibach and
Vienna. 1t is indicated that this ulti-
matum will come from the allied pow
ers, representatives of which are re-
ported to have conferred at Abbazia,
about two miles northwest of Fiume,
to which place they retired when
Capt D'Annunzio entered the latter
city.
In peace conference circles it is in
timated the settlement of the question
of the disposition of Fiume has been
complicated by the D'AnnunZio COUP
but italian delegates insist a decision
is being delayed because of the fact
that President Wilson has not an
swered definite proposals made by
1taly's representatives here. Ameri-
cans assert the Italians are constant
ly changing the details of their Of
fer and that for this reason an an
swer has SO far been impossible.
Duke of Aosta as Mediator.
Advices from Rome say that the
Duke of Aosta. close friend of Capt
DAnnunzio, has conferred with King
Victor Emmanuel and Premier Nitti.
and it is suggested he may act as
mediator in an effort to bring about
an abandonment of Fiume by the
D'Annunzio forces
Fiume is closely blockaded by land
! and sea, but there are stores in the
city sufficient to maintain the people
and troops for three months.
Capt. D'Annunzio Is reported to have
with him many members of his
famous aerial squadron, which fought
on the Austrian front during the war.
The Italian government, however, has
ordered the magnetos of airp,anes at
all aviation camps removed. SO that
no more machines may go to Fiume.

The campaign to reduce the cost OF

ly was foremost in the Attorney Cen
erals mind in his speech delivered at
a reunion of the 18th Regiment of
Pennsylvania volunteers, which also
was a homecoming celebration for
men who served in the world war.
He said that although many problems
beset mems minds in these days of re-
construction. there is none which can
not be worked out lin the general in
terest" in government where the
people are the only rulers.
But unlesS we shall be satisfied
with that which is for the general
interest" he continued, and do not
insist upon that which is in our own
particular interest, there will be trou-
BILE and delay in the settlement. If
men could learn to be patient under
conditions which have resulted from
the world war until more accurate
estimate of the possibilities of the
situation can be made all our prob
lens will bc sooner solved; but If
impatience and self1shness shall rule

that nothing but disorder and delay

Crying Need of the World.

THE crying need of the world just
now is for peace, and not political
peace between governments alone,
but industrial peace amongst men
also. The things for which men fight
are never settled while the war is
on. An armistice must come; heads
must cool: anger must spend itself
before men can sit together and know
what is best for themselves and give
due consideration to the rights of
others.
IF we could have an absolute in
duStrial armistice in America for six
months; if both the necessary in
gradients Of capital-that is, both
money and labor-would be active
and constant in the problem of pro-
duction; the busy. peaceful days soon
would yield a spirit which would
make it possible for men to solve
the problems which now confront us.

strong and virile and capable Of
great commercial and military effort.
Nations like Italy. Greece, Rumania
and Jugoslavia, which are extending
their territory and spreading out in
all directions, have not the industries
to bring them that which makes Ger
many powerful. Furthermore. they

"Great Untouched Power

''It is impossible to create barrier
states against bolshevism and mill
tarisnis and if, these new states con-
tinue their quarEels and weaken them
selves they cann0t resist any enemy,
much less a great Untouched power
like Germany.
Germany intelligently refused to
fight to a finish with the United States
She withdrew in good order to place
of safety, where the war had not ruin
ed her factories and where everything
was ready for the resumption of peace
industry.
Germany has gone to work, but
work Is impossible in many of those
districts where the Germans destroyed
machinery and the people have not the
raw materials with which to work.
But these ruined countries must not
make Germany's economic restora-
tion easier by fighting among them
selves and leaving Germany the world
market without competition.
The forces of peace must organize
and consolidate; otherwise they are
inviting an onslaught which Germa n
arms unquestionably will make with
in a few years unless Germany's
enemies intrench themselves through
constructive work and establish the
nations which threaten to weaken
themselves and the allies through
greed and jealousy.
