me TO the days when George Wash

states and was exercising that genius
which history has come to appraise as
almost divine in guiding the young ma

clothes. Though he had only recently,
as commander -in-chief OF the Colonial
forces. conducted a victorious war for
Independence and this glorious
achievement was still being acclaimed
in many lands, much that he advo-

ton Is coming when the industrial
workers and soldiers councils decide
that their expectations are not to be
fulfilled These elements are thor
oughly organized and refuse to re-
linquish an iota Of their power, though

mistrust the motives OF the coalition
leaders.
The situation in Germany, with
out doubt, is critical as regard food,
industry and finance, but this does
not seem to have effected any radi-
cal change in the psychology of the
general public. Public opinion
throughout the country does not fix
the guilt for the war upon Germany,
nor upon the ousted ruling class. It
does not acknowledge German mill
tary defeat. Germans believe they
are in the present position because
as their propaganda tells them
their idealism led them to lay down
