LIFE, GERMANS
STRUGGLEN now
Power Broken, People Fight
For Necessities, Says
Chancellor.
FFLAYS FRANCE IN TALK
Declares That Country Is
Striving for Domination
Of Europe.
'FLAYS FRANCE IN TALK
BY KARL H. Won wIEGAND.

Berlin. Oct. 28.-"The military
power of Germany is broken, her
political might is paralyzed and
economically she is struggling for
the bare necessities of life. There
is no such thing any more as Ger
man militarism."~
So declared Chancellor Fehren-
bach this. afternoon when, in the
course of a speech in the Reichstag.
he surveyed Germany's internal and
external situation.
Against the disappearance of Ger
man militarism and the disarma-
ment and defencelessness of Ger
many. he contrasted what he de-
clared is the steadily growing mill
tarism in France, which, with the
support of Belgium and Poland, is
striving for the domination of the
European continent
Only Spectators Now.
Germany however, expects. he
declares, that the other great mill
tary powers will follow her ex-
ample and disarm.
| IF any attempt is made abroad
to conjure up the ghost of mill
tarism in Germany for the purpose
of covering up military plans OF
their own" said the chancellor, 81
doubt If anyone will be deceived
thereby. If any nations are thus
! deceived 1t will be because they
have an interest in being deceived
Militarily We are now only spec
tators of the struggles for political
might and power which are taking
place all over the world, but espe-
cially in Europe"
Touching upon the almost un-
| bearable burdens of maintaining
| the armies of occupation, he de-
ciared that. in streams Germany's
| life blood is flowing from those
wounds. You know the veritabIy
hopeless sums which we must raise
to pay for the foreign occupation.
He Warns France.
IF that continues, the French
militarism will devour with the last
of German welfare also the last
hopes of France for reparation."
The chancellor warned France
that never by such methods could
she win the German people to any
inclination to make reparations for
them, but that by these acts she
could only hope to engrave in Ger
man hearts the deepest hatred for
France.
| He declared that Germany is
meeting the Spa coal agreement so
conscientiously that France has a
surplus of German coal, while Ger
man Industries are closing down
and the unemployment situation is
growing serious for want of coal.

Tastes Vary on Food De-
clares Mrs. Sumner of
| u. S. Cafeteria.
SAY CHARGES UNTRUE
Management Denies State

Union Station Plaza.
SAY CHARGES UNTRUE

Despite criticism of certain girl
guests at the hotels for govern
ment workers conducted at Union
Station Plaza by the United States
government that the service and ac-
rate with the new rate of $3.50
yesterday that the majority of the
guests are well satisfied.
The increase in rates from S45 a
month was due to the necessity for
greater revenue occasioned by the
operation of the minimum wage law
and the increased price of commodi-
ties, according to the management.
Several girls had complained that
there had been a marked deteriora-
tion in the quality of the food since
the new rate became effective.
Claim. Waiting List.
The management declares that,
on the contrary, the majority of
the girls are well satisfied. and
that there Is a waiting list of be-
tween 400 and 500.
Guests at the government hotels
receive a character of accommoda-
ton unsurpassed anywhere in the
country for the rate, S47.50 per
month, according to the manage
ment. This includes a comfortable
room. hot and cold water. two meals
per day. and infirmary and dispen-
sary privileges.
The Menu.
Yesterdays menu, as given by
Mrs. Sarah E. Sumner. director OF
the cafeteria, includes the follow
ing:
Soup, choice of either roast pork
or croquettes, sweet potatoes,
creamed onions. picked beets, baked
pears with whipped cream, bread,
and choice of tea, coffee or milk.
Mrs. Sumner, who has taken over
the cafeteria recently, says that II
is very difficult to please more than
1000 different tastes, but that ev-
erything possible is being done for
the comfort of the girls.
Opinion among the girls differs as
to the quality OF the food. Some de-
clare that there has been a notice
able deterioration since the advance
in rates, others say that there is no
marked change. while still others
think that the food might be greatly
improved

heavy you could actually feel the
