Dr. Aonzo Taylor Investigates Conditions Land of unSame Old Gang Government 0ffCes-Take Attitude That They Are Much Abused Nation = Believe Themselves
 Guilty of No Msdeeds.

German people would have taken the spells and admit that they would have levied terrible peace terms on their yanquished enemies. Now they are defeated they refuse to shoulder any of the blame for the situation. And they are going to believe that they are abused if Alsace-Lorraine is given to France.
 Believe Selves GuiItIess.
 The widespread belief that the Ger mans themselves are guilty of no mis- deeds is being emphasized by new school of writers who first came into prominence about the time President Wilson gave the world the covenant of the league of nations at Paris. What astounded Americans in Germany in 1 those days was the fact that these very writers admitted with perfect candor that Germany intended keep ing Belgium permanently, had Ger many won the war.
 Topics such as these occupied the German mind when the peace confer ence was making it's preliminary sur yey of European affairs. While Ger man papers printed columns about the l probable outcome of the peace con- ference there were 23S,000 men in Der lin without jobs drawing a pension of l six marks a day from the govern ment. In Hamburg the pension roll mounted to 78000. Both figures rep resent state of unemployment sew eral times greater than the worst periods of industrial depression Ger l many ever knew before the war
 The men were being paid just enough to live on and as a conse- quence would not work.
 Hate for Kaiser. Among the intellectual circles in Germany the blame for the silent re- bellion of the workmen, their refusal l to work, was placed on the military party-on old Von Tirpitz, and on Lu- dendorf and some more of the war l lords. The kaiser and his son, the crown prince, were generally despised. | Both ran away when trouble started and were hated for that. But the peo- 1 pie of Germany were not disposed to blame either the crown prince or the | kaiser for starting the war.
 Both of them lack the brains to 1 plan a war; was the common express i sion heard on the streets and reflected in number of the newspapers Doctor Taylor had one general ex- pIanation for Germanys strangely per verted state of mind.
 "Germany today is suffering from an intense moral disintegration," he declared. You see it in a dozen diff 1 ferent phases of German life. Men who served in the army and are now i demobilized, though still in uniform, will leave their families for days at a time-simply wander off without warning. They seem to have lost their sense of responsibility toward their | families.
 "There are comparatively few pro- ducers in the population, most of the people being spenders; spenders of the governments printed money.
 ''In the Berlin playhouses shows are running which are of such low moral level that no American postal author ity would permit even private letters l to describe some of the scenes. Be l fore the war such shows were not per mitted.
 "Robberies have increased greatly. The people blame the bolsheviki, but know in their own minds that these crimes might well enough be commit ted by anyone-because the increase | in crime is one of the notable phases of life in Germany today" In all Germany there is no danger of rehabilitation of the military ma chine, according to Doctor Taylor This view is verified by other Ameri- cans competent to judge, who have 1 just returned from the other side of the Rhine.
