tion. Further than this those voicing democratic dogmas in the loudest terms have been aware of the situa- tion and the mass of the German people in Berlin, at least, have not been sorry for it. The friendliness with which the troops of the new government were greeted by the populace is reminiscent of the child who remarked "I knew my papa wouldn't let me do anything very bad. Here he comes now-I guess he's going to scold me for the rough way I have been playin-''
 Never forgetting the basic charac- terstic of the German, one should not smile at the possibility of CO., operation between Ebert and Kapp news of impending civil war.

But deep in their hearts they would be glad to feel that a strong hand was over them, and in the heart directing that strong hand, plans for world domina- tion by Germany were not dead.
 Meanwhile Holland watches the former Kaiser. No indication, ap- parently. has been shown by the revolutionists to bring him back to Germany and restore him to power William himself, it is believed, is wise enough to avoid the mistake smaller men might make; he, would be the first to put stop to any such plan unless conditions arising made him believe that his time was nov or never." But Holland worries over the possibility of some such attempt and the latest news of the strong stand taken by the Ebert govern ment does not tend to tighten this worry
 This, it is believed, is the con- scious and under conscious state of the minds of Germans today. despite explicit protestations of von Kapp and more or less aimless actions of the irresponsible people.
