DIOCENES NEEDS

Can't Find an Honest Man
In all Germany, Y. M.
H. A. Official Says.

New York, Dec. IS. Deutschland
Uber Allies is still the song in the
heart of Germany, and unless the
allied nations keep a tight grip upon
the country. within ten years Ger
many will be ready and eager for
another war;" is the warning given
by Emanuel Hertz, lawyer, Y. NJ. Fl.
A. official, and president of the Wash
ington Heights congregation. who to-
night returned from a years travel
throughout Germany.
To-day there is not an honest man
in Germany. From President Ebert
down to the soldier-bootblacks in the
street, every man-jack is dishonest.
1t Is epidemic. 1 left a pair OF boots
outside my hotel door in Berlin the
first night 1 was there. They were
stolen. Nothing is safe. Express
packages. letters, bundles are almost
openly stolen. Matters are so bad

upon the people so long crushed by
the Germans have become
even fantastic in orgies.
"Beggars throng the streets, eX-sol-
diers still in uniform standing on the
corners selling cigarettes for one or
two marks each. Many of them have
turned bootblacks, and if a foreigner
does not tip a waiter. the serVitor
would just as soon knock him down
as look at him.
Churches in Berlin are closed for
the most part; the congregations are
too busy in the music halls or the
theaters to care about church or
relish church taxes.
In five years Germany will begin
conquering the world
again." concluded Mr.. Hertz

WORLD IS ASKED
TO SAVE AUSTRIA
Chancellor Pleads for As
sistance Before 1T Is
Too Late"

Vienna, Dec. &-Tired and care
worn, Chancellor Renner Of Austria
today discussed his country's plight
Every moral and cultured nation
Knows another nation cannot be
stamped out, and l claim Austria is
a cultured nation" he said. Il am
almost certain. after my short visit
to Raris, that the Austrian situation
is understood by the world. which is
beginning to apprehend the serious
ness OF our plight.
Il only pray that assistance may
come before it is too late. During
the past month. the food and coal
situation has become absolutely I'M
supportable. Theymore we are helped
economically the more easily are we
able TO take up the fight for our eN-
istence.
Il realize that the other countries
have their troubles. but. compared TO
lour misery, they are not suffering.
Our sorrows burn down into our flesh.
In other countries, only the skin is
scared.
Everything that Austria must
pledge under the peace treaty should
be placed at the governments dis
posal. This would remove all politi-
cal dangers and would hold the prov
mces now wishing to secede.
We have lost all the means with
which we might rebuild our broken
house. We are without coal and raw
materials and are unable to start our
industries. 1t is necessary to our
existence that we work with the good
will of the Western powers

Christianity as Unattractive
In Modern Life as in the
Middle Ages, Says the
Rev. Charles Steck. Study
OfChrist Is Urged.

Though countless thousands have
professed faith IN the teachings Of
Christ during the centuries since His
coming, He is still regarded as unat-
tractive in modern life," declared the
Rev. Charles +. Steck. preaching on
"The Unattractive Christ" yesterday
morning in the Church OF the
Epiphany, Sixteenth and U streets
northwest.
I'VE read in the Scripture that He
came unto His own and His own re-
ceived Him not. This indifference to-
ward Christ exists today, because men
fail to analyze the, depths Of the
truths He taught and because they
cannot grasp the full significance of
His mysterious personality by the
powers of their natural reason.
"Thc authority of the claim He put
forth when on earth has proved a
stumbling block to many as well as
the requirements He laid down for
salvation. Others disregard Christ
because the holiness of His character
is incompatible with the Ideals that
govern their lives.
~"Persons who assume an Indifferent
attitude toward the life and teachings
of Christ range from the Indifferent
Christian to the protested aEnestic,
who denies the t"r'h OF what Christ
gauso he cannot comprehend
It.
"A closer study of Christ. His per-
sonality. life and teachings. Is the one
remedy for this modern indifference.
The fearful condition of tota! disre-
gard OF the fundamental truths of
Christianity that threatens to grip the
world more and more may be met sue
cessfully by the acceptance of the SIM
pie requirements of the Gospel"
