Gen. De Castelnau Says Up

To Watchers.
SPIRIT STILL UNBROKEN
Germany Escapes Fulfill
ment of Versailles
Treaty.
(wsshington Herald-Public Ledger
Service.)

by wTTHE WILLIAMS.
Paris, March 25.-General De
Castelnau. famous war hero and
now president of the French army
commission. in which capacity he
serves as the principal link between
the government and Marshal Foch.
has given an exclusive interview for
The Washington Herald cable serv-
ice on the present situation in Ger
many.
By virtue Of his position he has
more liberty even than the general
issimo to express his views for pub
lication. Questions presented to
the general before his departure for
Brussels Saturday were answered
by telegraph to your correspondent
at Paris from the Belgium capital.
The general begins:
I'VE must look the danger in the
face, but nothing could be more dis
astrous now than to lose GOODNESS
of judgment. The revolution in Ger
many could have been a surprise
only to idealists and visionaries,
especially in the New World. who
never realized how matters actually
stood. We have always expected a
sudden outbreak by the military
party in Germany.
The present revolution should
make clear to everyone the true
spirit OF Germany; that spirit has
always existed. The worst fault of
statesmen at the Peace Conference
was that they ignored the real spir-
it of the enemy and constructed
peace on illusions
Spirit of Utoipa.
They persuaded themselves that
the real democratic spirit existed
the most dangerous Utopian fallacy,
as now has been proved. Our nego-
tiators thought that the force of
their own confidence in democracy
would suffice to overthrow all the
traditions of the German race. Rest
assured a nation learns but slowly
- ~ 0hy It's SohHlSCOhs.
Our second grave fault was not
to persuade the Germans of their
defeat They did not really believe
We had beaten them. During the
Peace Conference We did not act in
such a way as to make them revise
that opinion. Politically the entire
German Empire was preserved, but
economically IL was smashed. The
main theme should have been just
the opposite.
''Furthern ore the armistice, while
it sanctioned the maritime ruin of
Germany, permitted her army le-
gions to return with the honors of
war. They went home with the ap-
pearance of having successfully re-
pulsed an attack by their enemies.

Strong Army Necessary.

1T Is not amusing to be accused
by President Wilson of being i'm
perialistic, but aIas. 1t is a long
way to Washington. We therefore
keep a strong army. not from
selfish motives, but in order to keep
the world at peace-and enforce
the completion of German disarma-
ment
"As to the league of nations. 1t
is not yet a material force. I don't
know if it ever will become a
practical institution"
To the question will a triumph
of the Spartacans in Germany de-
velop Bolshevism throughout the
world?" Cen de Castelnau re-
sponded:
Most certainly the success of
the Spartacans will encourage ex-
tremists everywhere. although /
don't think Bolshevism will spread
over the globe. 1 know the Slavic
character. 1t is so totally different
from the Latin and Anglo-Saxon
that 1 am persuaded the Russian
doctrine will not triumph over
those countries. But we must re-
main confident. calm and strong,
and above all remember a fact that
we often are inclined to forget,
namely, that we were indeed the
winners of the war"

the German allegations by refusing
actually to take over the left bank
of the Rhine, by solemnly recog-
nizing in the treaty of Versailles
the political unity of Germany. and
later permitting the Germans to
hope that our occupation of the
Rhine provinces would be of only
short duration.
Until now Germany has escaped
the fulfiIlment of the military
clauses of the treaty. She not yet
has submitted to the reduction Of
her electives which we demanded.
1t is. therefore, my hope that this
revolution will now stir up all the
allies by revealing to them the
facts. Germany neither has been
crushed, dismembered nor demob-
ilized. She remains a nation of
more than 100000 of out and out
militarists.
To the question, Does the old
military spirit flourish generality
Gen. Castelnau replied:
The discipline of the German
army still remains perfect. The
troops revere and obey their officers.
Perhaps Germany does not want
a new war just now. But she con-
SiderS II 1ndlSputaDle tnat sne shoulu
possess important military forces,
She intends to pursue military prep
arations and has the most important
factor of military power-formida-
BILE masses of men fit and ready for
mobilization"
Apropos of President Wilson's
suggestion of French militarism,
the general said:
"a militaristic country Is not a
country which possesses an army,
but an army which possesses a
country. The German Empire before
the war was possessed by the Prus-
sian army. 1 consider Germany
remains a powerful militarist ma
tion. Now I ask you to tell me II
it is correct to call France mill
taristic? The present mentality of
Germany-of which I hope the rev.
olution now has convinced the allies
-obliges US to keep a strong army.
That is not for our pleasure. Our
strong military measures impede
our economic and social reconstruc-
ton. Our chief desire Is to reduce
our electives.

instance, the ex-convict Kossaroff

death for taking bribes, but never ex-
ecuted and soon afterward secretly re-
leased.
Similarly, the recent disappearance of
100 million rubles from the treasury OF
the food commission has been hushed up,

was taken against the guilty commissa

w. Littleton's cross examination, tnat
Cody took him aside as the party was
about to break up and talked five or SIX
minutes that he agreed with Cody that
Newberry would make fine candl =
date, and that others in the party ex-
pressed similar sentiments.
The next day there was a similar
meeting, Sweinhart said. The govern /,
ment tried to stop relation of the second
conversation because it had not been
touched upon by the direct examination,
but the court allowed it to proceed.
Mr.. Littleton drew from the witness
that the party arranged through Cody
for q visit to Colonel Roosevelt at the
Century Club. The court halted at
tempts to get into the evidence at Inls
stage what was said by, Colonel h9ose-
welt relative to the Newberry candidacy.
Mr.. Littleton turned to the conver
sation in April, 1918, with Cody and
learned that the witness could not re-
call his own remarks on the subject that
the cid" was discussed by Cody. Mr..
Littleton asked IL Sweinhart could re-
call any other single word beyond his
quotation Of Cody. The witness main
tained that was the final remark of the
conversation and said he could identify
the window by which he and Cody stood.
The exchanges between witness and
attorney became sharper and the court
halted them
The conference which Sweinhart said
Cody alleged he had broken up was the
next topic. Sweinhart' was allowed to
relate that he understood from Cody
that Osborn, Newberry and Henry Ford
were expected at the conference, and,
logged by Littleton, recalled that VIII
liam Alden Smith was also mentioned
as possible participant.
On redirect examination the defense
blocked Mr.. Dailey's questions as to
Cody's business relations.
Oscar B. Marx, former mayor of De-
troit, testified he visited New York in
January, 1913, in company with Rob-
ert Oakman.
Marx said Cody told him: "If New
berry became a candidate it would take
q load off his mind if my organization
were with him"

King came to Republican leader in
behalf of General Wood, that leader said
wisely: ''Oh ha that means Penrose
is for him on the quiet ~ At least to
some of them it did, including appar-
emily Mr. Foristel.
To understand Mr.. King and the
Wood movement it is necessary to go
back to Colonel Roosevelt. When the
Colonel was a Progressive, George W
Perkins was his manager. When he
wanted to get back into the Republican
party and be its candidate in 1920 he
had to break off with Perkins and have

Roosevelt appreciated highly the party

chose as his nexus with his old party
Mr. Pcnrose's friend and agent, Mr..
King. Mr.. King was to deliver the Re
publican organization to Colonel Roose
welt. Before the latter died he had
pretty well done so.
Wood as political legatee of Roose-
welt inherited King, who was to do the
same thing for the general he was to
have done for the colonel. Originally
and as conserved by Mr.. King, the
Wood movement was to have been as
much of machine movement as it could
be. Mr.. King went after men like Mr..

French Press Indifferent
Comment by the French press and
the attitude of the public in general
before today's developments indicated
the utmost indifference toward the de-
mand for the extradition of the Ger
mans, accused of war crimes, although
some of the names were those of men
accused of deeds which during the
war aroused the most intense indig-
nation of virtually the entire popula-
tion of France.
While it cannot be said that France
has forgotten the happenings which
form the basis of the accusations. the
great delay in the peace negotiations
and the slowneSS of the reconstruction
work has created a feeling of indif-
ference with everything connected with
the peace deliberations not dealing with
the economic revival.
The general opinion, as expressed in
the public press, seems to be that
France is not so anxious to receive
satisfaction concerning the punish
ment of the guilty persons as she is
duce goods for export. In other words,
as one commentator expresses il, she
would rather receive from Germany the
u 600, 900 tons of coal promised yearly
under the Versailles treaty than the

various war oifenSes.

And not having Penrose meant that MT;
King did not get many Foristels. sui
he got some.
King an Outsider in Wood Camp
Mr.. King was an outsider in the
Wood camp, although he was its chief,
For the most part the Wood supporters
were old Progressives like Dan Hanna,
of Ohio, and George w. Perkins and
Senator George Moses. They had the
same feelings toward King that the Re-
publican organization men had toward
Perkins. And Perkins, In particular.
did not love King, who had displaced
him with Roosevelt.
The showdown came at the meeting
of the Republican national committee
here in December. King did not prove
an effective nexus with the old crowd.
He didn't have Penrose. He did not
have organization men generally. In
fact, the meeting of the national COM
mittee was an anti Wood meeting.
The Progressives in the Wood organ
ization said II told you so.' The plan
King, while it had brought Mr.. Foristel
and certain people ir Nebraska, was
not going to bring enough strength to
effect his nomination. The real way
to nominate was not by going to the
organization but by going to the people.
Wood must 20 at it after The Progressive
fashion. He must seek popular sup
port ard impose himself on the party
as a national figure. King was dropped.
And Foristel and some others, whose
eyes were perhaps opened too at the
Washington national committee meet
ing, dropped with him. The campaign
headed in the opposite direction.
New Campaign Starts Badly
The full effects of this swapping of
horses while crossing the stream is lust
beginning to be seen. Wood lost the
thirty six votes of Missouri. He lost
reasonable prospect Of Nebraska. He
lost some other possibilities that de-
pended upon the machine connections
King had made.
The whole King management had to
be scrapped 1t was SO much lost time
and was waste motion. Meanwhile the
new campaign on rev basis with
which the Foristels decline to associate
themselves has failed to start impress
sively. 1t had been a long time getting
under way. A certain moral damage
has been done to the Wood movement
by the hesitation, the change of man
ayers, the change of plans. The present
managers of Wood do not look practical,
and have made serious mistakes. More
over politicians do not get on a band
wagon when it is standing still, no mat
ter how fast it promises to 60 later.
1t must start first. The new plan of
going to the people may succeed, but il
has yet to prove that it will succeed.

NEWBERRY KEPT
WELL POSTED
Newspaper Man Testifies to
Commanders Keen Interest
in Michigan Campaign
REPORTS ALMOST DAILY
BY the Associated Press

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 4..-In-
PRODUCTION of testimony designed to
prove it's charges Of conspiracy, fraud
and corruption in the election Of United
States Senator Newberry was resumed
by the government in federal district
court here today.
James f. Sweinhart, New York
representative of the Detroit News, was
recalled to complete his testimony begun
yesterday at the conclusion of opening
statements for the defense. Sweinhart
related conversation in New York
with Frederick Cody, one of the de-
PENDANTS, in which Mr.. Newberry's
candidacy for the Senate was dis
cussed.
at will be great time for the boys
in Michigan because they will spend n
barrel of money the witness quoted
Cody as saying.
Sweinhart testified today that in the
middle of January, 1913, he called on
Edward Fitzgerald, secretary of Mayor
Oscar Marx. of Detroit, at the Bit
more Hotel in New York. Fitzgerald,
he said, was about to sail for Europe.
Robert Oakman and Mayor Marx
were with him. He said that about
half an hour later they came face to
face with Commander Newberry leav-
ing Oakman'S room"
Sweinhart said he frequently called
at Newberry's Office at $50 Broadway.
Newspaper duties were the usual OBJ
jects of such calls, which, he said, ex-
tended into September. He testified
that Frederick Cody was there very
often"
Swcinhart said Cody usually walked
past the office attendants without ques-
ton, while others were not allowed be-
yond an outer railing until permission
to enter came from the inner Office.
Sweinhart said that in his talks
with Newberry about the senatorial
campaign he was shown letters and tele-
grams from Paul II. King, and that
Newberry told him he was kept posted
almost daily on happenings in Michi-
gan.
Lid OF. Sky the Limit
Sweinhart said he remembered one
specific conversation with Cody in New
berry's office.
1T related to money" he said. 1--WE
stood apart from others in the room,
and Cody told me that he had been ont
to Michigan, and said: The lid is off
out there. The sky is the limit -
Guided by Frank c. Dailey's dues
tions, Sweinhart related another con-
yerSatlon with Cody concerning con-
ference in New York which Chase Os-
born, opponent of Senator Newberry
in the primary, attended at Republi-
can national headquarters. He said
Cody told him that he had represented
Commander Newberry at the confer
ence. and had broken it up"
Thought Newberry Fine Candidate
Swcinhart repeated, under Martin
