The United States Employment Ser

it calls handicap bureau for the

there was a demand among employers

coined the word pep did a great deal
toward putting the older men on the

Hoover Sending Food
Every Day to Poland

And yet again in the midst of all
this testimony of confusion and disin-
tegration there is equally impressive
testimony to the fact that in certain
directions German organization sur
vived. / asked Mr.. Hoover the other
day what was being done for Poland,
He said he was sending five trains a
day from Dantzig to Warsaw, and when
| asked him if the Germans were max
ing this thing difficult he laughed, and
said, on the contrary, they were doing
everything to facilitate this work for
the obvious purpose of proving that if
they were permitted to retain Dantzig
there would be no interference with
Polish access to the open sea and COM
munication with the Western Allies.
When one thinks OF the utter con-
fusion in the railway traffic of all Of
Europe and the practically complete
paralysis of German railway traffic, it
is clear how great ana .skilful ma
nnuvre is this German facilitation of
the feeding of Polanr
The simple truth remains that Ger
many now, a sat all times since August,
1914 is totally incomlfehensible.
We have one week in Paris the old
German menace revitalized and we live
under the shadow of a return of the
Prussian, and the next week we are
equally under the shadow of a German
relapse to Bolshevis,n, seeming calcu-
lated to become as great menace to
Western civilization as revitalized
Prussia, and this is only another way
of saying that while Paris cannot make
up its mind whether Germany will be
more dangerous after reaction or after
revolution there is a never tnding
sense of continuing greatness Of the
German peril.

And Foes Doubt Defeat

the peace conference will consist of
three distinct divisions:
I The effort to exploit the diff
fcrences between the Allies as
these differences have developed dur
ing the debates in the Paris confer
ence;
, An Interpretation of Mr.. Will
sons fourteen points in such
fashion as to develop breach be-
tween the American delegation and
the Allies; and
Z The plan mentioned by my
Vienna witness to refuse to ac-
cept the terms actually imposed and
compel the Allies to occupy Ger
many, hoping not only to cause un-
rest in the Allied countries and cor
rupt the Allied armies with Bol-
shevism, but also to ensure the pro-
lection of their own propertv
through the presence of Allied
armies of occupation.
None Believe Foe
Will Fight Again
But at this point it is necessary to
emphasize another strange paradox.
The German becomes more and more
arrogant in tone and manner, but |
have Veto find anybody who has been
in Germany, either in the occupied dis
tricts or beyond the Rhine, who be-
lieves that the German VII! aght againf
not merely to-day or tomorrow, but
for very, long time to come. sThe dis
integration of the army has been COM
plete. In many places disrespect and
more than disrespect is shown for the
old officers. In calculating upon escap-
ing from the Allied terms of peace the
German is not relying upon any posi-
bility of resistance. Moreover, all re-.
sistance will obviously be impossible,t
because restoratoin of the blockade
would mean immediate starvation in
Germany. J.,
Has Germany escaped Bolshevism
1t is a question asked of every one who
comes back from Germany, a question
for which no satisfying answer has yet
been had. There is general testimony,
to the fact that German adherence Of.
Bolshevism is universal, and yet there
is equally frank recognition of the
fact that many, many circumsta in
the German situation point toward a.
