German Poor
Losing Faith
BY Frank J. Taylor

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
BERLIN, May 2.-(By Mail y
The German upper classes are gaining
religion while the lower classes are
losing faith, according to Fa her Won
Dreyanda, minister of the former roy
al protestant cathedral in Berlin.
Father Won Dreyanda was the confess
sor of the kaiser, and will be remem-
bered for his sermons and prayers
that the world might be baptised and
saved through the German sword.
Father Don Dreyanda says the
kaiser is an innocent, religious and
pious man. The minister says he
ought to know, because Wilhelm
poured out his heart in his confes-
sions. Wilhelm's life was perfect and
most sincere, declares his confessor
He has written a brief hood in the
hopes that it will help put the ex-
Kaiser right with the world.
The Berlin Protestant temple is
crowded every Sunday that the dis
trict near the former royal castle is
quiet enough to permit services. The
same is true of other churches of all
sects where the wealthy or middle
class attends services. More of them
are going to church than every before
But in the poorer districts the
church have had to close, practically,
because nobody will come 10 them. 1t
is not matter of expense, since the
state supports churches. Father Won
Dreyanda says it is due to the radical
political meetings held everywhere
and whenever workmen are not oc-
cupied otherwise.
According to Father Won Dreyan-
da, the church is having a hard time
getting free from the new state. The
kaiser was formerly head of the
church in Germany. When NE was
deposed the churchmen said they
needed no earthly head. However
the new republic officials claim they
should control the church, since the
state supports it.
The state will allow German church
es several million marks yearly fol
fifteen years, At the end of thai
time the churches plan to be estab
lshed as 9elf-supporting institutions
in Germany.

Prevent Six Months
Spree Urges Bryan

ASHEVILLE, N. c., May 22.-
william Jennings Bryan believes that
the repeal Of wartime prohibition
would be a victory for the whiskey
business and would commit the dem
ocratic party to championship of the
saloon in its last hours, in a state
ment given out here last night. He
predicted that Congress will keep the
law in force, since he considers that
prohibition strength in the present
Congress is stronger than it was in
the last.
at is hardly conceivable said Mr..
Bryan, that those who favor prohi-
bition as a permanent constitutional
policy will advocate or favor a six
months spree as prelude to prohi-
bition."

Beaten Germany
Looks to the East
BY J. w. T. Mason

written for the United Press.)
NE WYORK, May 22.-Germany
is preparing to turn to the east for re-
venge. German statesmen, crafty,
unscrupulous, and full of resentment
against the western democracies, are
laying plans to break the peace treaty
after the signatures have been forced
from the defeated plenipotentiaries
at Versailles.
Germany is looking to Russia,
China, and Japan for eventual help
in creating a new lNlgue to over
throw the western nations; control
of the world. Germany, Russia,
China and Japan are all disappointed
at the outcome of the peace negotl-
ations. China believes she has been
deserted by the western powers; and
the japanese are resntful because
they have not ben recognized as the
raical equals of the white people OF
America and Great Britain.
Germany, therefore, is hopeful OF
making subtle sggestions to China
and Japan concerning the advantages
of a secret league to seek revenge
against the west. Russia is neces-
sarv confederate for such a conspir-
acv. Russia has been denounced by
the victorious allies in Europe as an
outcast nation. France, in partlcu-
liar, has forgotten her own revolution
when two thirds of the French ma
tional debt was repudiated and four
hundred dollars in French paper mon
ev sold for one dollar in real cash.
Frances refusal to cooperate with
America and Great Britain in trying
to help the present Russian govern
ment get on its feet has made real
assistance to Russia impossible. Rus
sia, therefore, is now unable to count
on help from the west. If the Ger
mans can assist Russia to recover her
balance. it will be to Germany that
the Russians will naturally turn for
future guidance.
Germany's first step, therefore, in
her search for means to break the
peace treaty, is to form an intimate
relationship with Russia. Already eff
forts are being made in Berlin to this
end. German agents are in Russia
advocating the mutual advantage OF
secret cooperation between the two
nations.
Once thi smovement shows signs OF
progressing, it's spread into China anc
Japan will be deftly sought by Ger
many's leaders. Germany threatened
this very outcome to Ambassador Ge
rard when America was preparing tt
enter the war. The ruthless brutal
Fity of the Germans during the wal
savors more of an oriental race thar
: western nation. The Germans ma!
thus claim racial relationship with thu
Orient for the purpose of urging co
operation.
! The situation is certain to develoI
into serious menace unless the west
ern diplomats quickly begin to coun
teract the new German propaganda
Russia is the key With Russia hos
tile to Germany's designs, the Ger
mans will be impotent. They will b
geographically isolated from the ia
east and unable to form an effectiv
e oriental alliance. The western dem
: ocracies, therefore, must revise thei
r treatment of Russia, or see German
j continue as a dangerous plotte
t against civilizations progress.
