GERMANS ARE
TIRED OF WAR

speaks German fiuently and has trav.
eled all over the country in the last
year. said, In speaking on this subject
AT the present time Germany could
put a well-equipped army of 100000
officers and men into the field If they
could be organized to fight together
The major part Of this force IS the
army of the Baltic and the smaller
bodies Of troops who have not yet
been disbanded. The ordinary German
workman, so far as my knowledge
goes. Is fed up with war, and desires
to live with his family and pursue his
trade peacefully.
'The French military authorities do
not agree with this view in regard to
the Germans and believe that they are
secretly organizing to avenge their de-
feat. The officers, especially the Prus-
slams Of the old regime, would no
doubt like to do this, as fighting is
their trade, but the rank and file would
refuse to follow them into the field.
THE Germans have plenty Of air
planes, arms and ammunition. Out of
$4,000 field guns they possessed when
the armistice was signed they have de-
stroyed only 1000 SO far. 1t is very
difficult to get the German govern
ment to carry out the conditions of
the peace treaty, which demand that
these guns should be destroyed, and
that the forts and strategic railways
constructed in the course of the war
should be demolished. The claim is
put forth that all this work would oc-
cupy long time and would be unpro-
ductive and expensive to the govern
ment, which has no funds to meet it.
Personally. judging from the slow
manner In which things have been
done SO far, l think it will be years
before these conditions are fulfilled, If
ever.
'There Is one thing certain to any
sane person who knows the conditions
existing here at the present time: that
Is. If Germany is to pay the indemnity,
or any portion of 1t. in the near future
she must be supplied with raw mate
rails to start the factories to work and
with foodstufrs for the people.
Officials Are Civil.
'"There is good deal of talk among
the better class in favor of q constitu.
tional monarchy on similar lines to
that of Great Britain, but that would
be impossible SO far as any of the
German princes are concerned. They
do not know the meaning of such a
form of government and would imme-
diately become autocratic dictators
directly any one of them assembled the
throne. 1t took England nearly a hun.
dred years to persuade the Hanove-
