LONDON. England, August Is
Satisfaction is expressed in both busi
ness and government circles over the
acceptance by Viscount Grey Of the
Washington appointment. His de-
cision to take up the work of British
spite of the handicap of i'll health
is hailed with enthusiasm in diplo-
matte circles, where his great ability
is SO well understood
1 have been informed that he has
accepted the post only after long
otto motives and on condition that
his appointment should not be a per-
manent one.
Aids Appointment Approved.
No less happy is the choice of Sir
William G. Tyerrell as chief aid to
the new ambassador. He has served
with marked success in many ca
pacities at home and\abroad, when
from 1907 to 1915 he was private
secretary to Sir Edward Grey. then
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
He filled the position with much tact
under extraordinary and trying cir
cumstances. In October. 1918. he was
promoted to be assistant secretary
of state for foreign affairs and in
January of this year while on duty
at the peace conference in. Paris he
was given the diplomatic rank of
minister plenipotentiary.
Sir Williams selection is of the ut
most importance, because. owing to Wis
count Grey's impaired eyesight. much of
the burden of the work IN Washington
will naturally fall on his chief assist
snt's shoulders. His appointment meets
with the same degree of approval as
that of his chief. AS high diplo-
matte official expressed it to me this
morning, Britain is sending to Wash
ington two of her very best men,"

Lineup Of the Opposition.

Democratic leaders, feeling out SER
timent on the republican side. have
been told that the treaty never could
be ratified without qualifications. but
that more than twenty republicans
wanted to see it accepted in the near
future with reservations along the
line Of those agreed on by seven sena-
tors Of that party some days ago.
This information came from MEM
bers of the group of seven after COM
pletion of a poll begun Wednesday on
receipt of the first democratic over
lures. The twenty. headed by the DEM
ocrats to make the necessary ratifica-
ton majority Of sixty-four, had not
accepted the proposed reservation
program in exact form, 1t was asserted,
cut had given their assent to it's gen.
eral provisions.

The German revolution has a peculiar
fate 1t is not trusted. Even the very
feet that there was a revolution in
Germany Is taken skeptically by the
outside world Not that the revolu-
tionary changes are denied, but from
the very day Of the revolution there
has been a widespread dietrust as to
the nature and sincerity of the revo-
lutionary events and the thoroughness
Of the political changes. I am too
of mistrust is by itself suspicious,
having been spread by the chauvinis-
tic press of the entente countries for
political purposes.
Yet the sincere disappointment felt
throughout the world at the lack. Of
fervor which has characterized the
German revolution is fully justified.
aroused the great manifestations of
Joy and happiness which are supposed
to be inseparable from revolutionary
upheavals.
The main characteristic Of the Ger
man revolution Is that it is u revolu-
tionary event without a HISTORIAN
achievement without a fight. 1t was
not an outcome Of a revolutionary
struggle, but side issue-an unex-
pected recompense for a lost war.
Germany became q republic, but there
was no republican party or movement
which could enjoy that great victory.
Germany had become by new institu-
devoid Of democratic training and
democratic aspirations, which could
enable her to realize what had been
accomplished.

Expresses View Of Working Glass

Not only the OUTSIDE world was pug
z1ed by the absence OF new spirit
in Germany. but even the finest intel
lects Of Germany herself have been
ment. Walter Rathenau-undoubted
the best creative intellect in modern
Germany-expressed the dissatisfaction
felt by the working class in the follow
ing words, which formulate what is
indeed the most striking citicfsm OF re-
volutionary Germany:
What once was called the reichstag
is now called the national assembly;
where Bethmann-Ho sat Scheide-
mann is now sitting; where Wilhelm
was enthroned Ebert is enthroned;
where Ludendorff commanded Noske
all that make to us? What difference
does it make to the German people
whether its rulers have better or worse
manners and whether they attain office
by right of birth or by right Of talk
ing?"
The German revolution il bewildering,
but only. because the people have an
irresistible demand for superfuous his
torical analogies. We are disappointed
because the German revolution does
not correspond to the traditions Of the
French revolution. We have already
suffered great Disappointment and made
terrible blunders in Russia because the
revolution there deviated from our re-
evolutionary romanticism. The western
democracies refused to understand the
spirit Of the Russian revolutionary de-
mocracy and insisted. as many are still
insisting. that the Russian revolution
is purely political" and therefore all
efforts to solve social, agricultural or in
dustrial problems have been proclaimed
''utopian dreams and intrigues."
Now we are puzzled once more.
Once more we interpret revolutionary
events by the old revolutionary stand
ards. The Russian revolution was
predominantly POLITICAL: the German
revolution is predominantly social.
He who refuses to understand that
elementary fact will never understand
what is going on in Germany.
Again let me quote Water Rathenau:

Mr.. Hitchcock's Statement.

Senator Hitchcock said the President
took the position that textual changes
in the treaty cannot be accepted, as it
would mean the amendments would
have to be acceptable to Germany, and
the treaty could not be forced on Ger
many by military action. The same
condition. he said, does not exist now,
Germany having ratified the treaty. that
existed when she was shown the place
to sign and forced to do so.
Such a situation, in the view of the
President, the senator said, would
give Germany the delay she failed
to get at Paris in order to present
her case to the world, and would
likely mean the negotiation Of a new
treaty entailing possibly years de-
