Foe, Mentally Defiant,
Already Planning NeY
War to Get Vengeance
By JEAN KNOTT

Icept the radicals. For instance,
Count PosadoWsISi. conservative
leader, defended BIsmarckism. He
advocated fe-establishing the old re-
gime. which he called the most be-
nevolent and advanced government Of
the world. The delegates, save for q
few radIcaas, listened blandIy while
PosadowskI declared that 3 monarchy
Is the best form Of government.
In addition to the Violin Bureaus
influence on foreign propaganda.
there is now q new government de-
partment which Is daily furnishing
the people with inspired opinion
through the press. The theme Of
this propaganda is: There has been
no revolution in Germany-just a new
form Of government" With the ex-
ception Of government organs, the
press refuses to take the National As
sembly very seriously.
A number OF younger employees who
Joined the government through ideal
istic motives Are switching to the
radicals. believing that q real revo-
luton is coming when the industrial
workers and soldiers councils decide
that their expectations are not to be
fulfilled. These elements are thor-
oughly organized and refuse to re1in-
quish an iota Of their power, though
a representative republic has been es-
tablished, because they apparently
mistrust the motives OF the coalition
leaders.
EeOnOmIeaIIy Critical
The situation in Germany, without
doubt, is critical as regards food, in
dustry, and finance, but this does not
seem to have effected any radical
change in the psychology of the gem
eral public Public opinion through
out the country does not f1x the guilt
for the war upon Germany, nor upon
the ousted ruling class. Il does not
acknowledge German military defeat.
Germans believe they are in their
present position because-as their
propaganda tells them-their ideal
ism led them ta lay down their arms
and trust Wilson.

j. S. OWNERSHIP
UP TO. PRESIDENT

President Wilson will be called on
soon after his return from Europe to
salvage the cause Of Government own
ership in the United States.
Many Of the big problems OF domes-
tic affairs have had scant Administra-
ton notice for the past four months
while the President has been dealing
with international complications, and
when he comes back there will be q
mass of them to consider. One is the
vital question OF what fs1to be done
with the railroads. and the other is
what shall be the policy as to ship
ping. 80
Will President Wilson. come out for
Government ownership of the rail-
roads and OF the merchant marine
This is something which will
doubtless remain in the dark until
Congress convenes.
However, 1t is certain the tide
against Government ownership Of the
roads and of shipping has set in so
strong that unless the President
champions Government ownership It
will be put out OF business for an In
definite period.
The whole tendency in the House
and Senate Interstate Commerce COM
mtttees now indicates that railroad
measures will take the form of return
Of the roads to private ownership.
As for shipping, the Shipping Board
policy will soon be recommended. Il is
generally expected it will be against
Government ownership Gnd operation
of ships, and it is known the DISPOSE
tion in Congress will be strong
against Government ownership and
operation.
Under such circumstances, the be-
lievers in Government ownership will
appeal to the President as a last re-
sort What he will do can only be
conjectured.
But a remarkable spectacle. would
be presented IL the White House
should land on the Government own
ership side and the majority Of Con-
gress should favor private ownership.
The possibility that such a situation
may develop is arousing not little at
tention among those most concerned
about the Governments railroad and
shipping policies

HOW GERMANY GOT
A HANDLEY-PAGE

LONDON, March 27.-one of the
crew of the Handley Page aeroplane
which fell into the hands of the Ger
mans and upon which they are said
to have modelled the Gothas which
bombed London, gives the following
authentic statement, which is the
Rrst TO he published of the disaster.
1--WE left England on our way to
France at 11:3O on January 1, 1917.
The crew consisted Of pilot, observer
and three mechanics.
-sWhen over the English Channel,
before reaching the French coast, we
IAN into Very foggy weather and
were forced to come down to a lower
altitude to. find the coast, but we
failed, for the fog went right down
to the sea. We were compelled to as
cend again and rose clear of 1t at
5000 feet, but ran into a thunder
storm. This, in the light Of after
events must have made our compass
defective. We then decided to return
70 England. and endeavOred to do so,
but the weather appeared to be grow
ing worse, so we reconsidered our de-
cision and headed for the nearest land
France.
when we were certain we must
be over land. we came down to low
altitude to find landing. Flying at
about $50 feet we noticed a church
steepIe. and concluding there would
be a village near by where we could
obtain information as to our where.
abouts we landed in a field. Not a
sOul was to be seen for quite some
time, but after scouting round eau
tiously1 the pilot found some French
children a quarter of a mile away,
but unfortunately they were unable
70 give the information required. The
rlace. we afterward learned, was
called Chalandry.
we had no idea we were in terri-
tory occupied by the enemy tilt q
company of German soldiers SUR
rounded us before we were aware
and took us prisoners. They freely
expressed their admiration both OF
the machine and the fine workman,
ship, but they said they rather.
doubted its utility.
Il afterwaTd- heard that the officer
in charge Of the soldiers received the
Iron Cross for capturing a British
aeroplane of the latest type, which has
proved OF the greatest value TO our

BERLIN. March 2T.-Three months
careful study Of Germany, following
the signing Of the armistice, forces
the conviction that neither war from
without nor revolution from within
has worked any Psychological meta
morphosis OF Germany as a nation, OF
Of Germans as individuals. Neither
the strength nor the weaknesses OF
the German people evidences any
/ transformation. The minds which ac-
cept and apply the terms of peace
will differ but little from those which
steered the successful course of the
German empire up to August, 1914.
The revolution has changed the
form of government It has not
changed the governed. The war has
brought to Germany defeat, disaster,
and destitution. It has not brought
despair nor humiliation. A half dozen
speakers at the National Assembly
in Weimar voiced the general feeling
Of the people when they said. in ef-
feet:
1--WE have not been defeated mill
tarily. Hunger and the revolution
forced US to quit. We accepted Presi-
dent Wilson's fourteen points and de-
mobilized voluntarily, according TO
the provisions Of the armistice"
The foreign Offices policies and the
attitude of its individual secretaries
are unchanged; its personnel is prac-
tically the same as before the reVolu-
tion, though the officials all profess
to be democrats. Now they claim
they opposed the war, especially en-
ployment OF "frightfulness."
BernstOFR Man Of the Hour.
Count Bernstorn is considered by
many weIl-informed Germans to be
the man who is really running the
foreign office, with his cousin, Count
Brockdorff- Rantzau, chief in name
only. The Germans feel that Brock
dorff-Rantzau's speech outlining the
nations foreign policy marked a new
era in diplomacy because he stated
frankly what the Germans consider
modest The included retention
of the German colonies. a plebiscite
for Alsace-Lorraine, repatriation of
German war prisoners, and reparation
for damages only.
Ostensibly, the censorship was re-
moved with establishment Of the
present government. Yet priority
of news dissemination is still pre-
served as an exclusive and monopo-
listtc privilege Of the Wolh Bureau,
which was the semi official propa-
ganda agency under the old regime.
Foreign newspaper correspondents
are held up six hours after
the same information is obtained by
Wolf. This guarantees to that or
ganization the opportunity of giving
the world it's first. and therefore its
strongest, impression OF any internal
German situation.
No German making the first pre-
tense at frankness will attempt to
create the impression that the disas-
trous results of lS14-191s have Gre
ated and deep-seated aversion to mill
tarism among the German people.
Men and women, both in and out Of
government circles, talk very casual
ly Of another war of revenge against
France IL Alsace-Lorraine is taken
from Germany. They refer to this
as though 1t is to be ac-
cepted by everyone as a logical mat
ter OF fact
