The German. People Still the Same

j., The German, People Still the Same
, To understand rightly the charac-
ter Of man or Of a state, one must
first understand its origin. The Ger
man republic did not grow out of the
feeling that conditions under the Ho-
'henzollerns were intolerable; nor out
of the lack of civil freedom. which in
spite of an apparently democratic
franchise, stamped the German, peO-
pie SIS pariah among the nations of
Western Europe. Nor was it the re-
suit of the traditional arrogance of
a ruling caste made up of tunkers
and army officers. who had, time out
,of mind, divided among themselves
ALI the civil and military offices lead
ing to preferment, and who knew
how, to turn to the advantage of their
own pockets the tax laws and the
tariff. The birth of the republic was
not due to the entertainments of an
army. which regarded itself as state
within a state. and which lived ac-
cording to it's own penal laws and its
:own code of honor; nor, again, was
lit due. to the gigantic crime of half
.dep1ented = sovereign, who, carried
away, by dreams of world power. and
'spurred BY ambition and garth hun
ger, brought about a world catas-
strophe-a catastrophe which he could
have averted with a wave of his hand
or single word 1t was not the
slave chains which, the German peo-
pie had worn in times of peace, nor
the moral stigma or the material suf-
fering which the wax had brought
upon them. that caused the revolu-
ton and the creation of the. republic.
No, 1t was defeat and defeat alone
that broke the power Of the criminal
war-makers--the terrible crushing
defeat which in, three short months,
from July to Octobe, 1918, trans
formed ruler drunk with victory
into deserter fleeing from his own
country; and transformed his gen.
erals, carried away by success as they
had been. into cowed and beaten
.cupplicants for a cessation of HOSTILE
ties.--Dr. Richard Greiling( author of

 Director John R. Densmore said this figure does not necessarily represent the number of persons actually unem- ployed. as it is quite possible that some of the workers have found employment in agricultural or other pursuits not covered by the survey
 However. some officials believe the army of unemployed possibly is arger than The figures given. as no effort was made to ascertain the reduction in the number of persons empoyed in pursuits other than those classed un- der the head of mechanical industry
 The Employment Services figures represent reduction of 369 per cent in the number of workers employed in industry compared with January a year ago. and they are based on the consensus of figures from neutral bod ies, state labor departments, state com Iaissioners of manufactures. state and municipal employment services, work mems compensation bureaus, employ CTS" and employees organizations and all other sources competent to furnish authoritative information.
