OF the fatherland in speech by
Adolph Koester. minister of the in
terror, in the reichstag. He urged
the necessity of stabilizing the new
patriotism, which he said was as

and leftists and also by big organ
izations both of employers and of
employees, which was a positive dan
ger because they had power such as
they never possessed under the old
regime.
Complained of Mistrust.
Herr Koester complained of the at
! mosphere of mistrust and suspicion
pervading the official world, which
he declared caused a deplorable i'm
preston abroad, and was especially
disheartening to the Inhabitants of
the occupied regions. He cited the

can owing to the change in the color
of the German flag
Herr Koester added that Germany
was still "reich" and all ought to be
educated to a sense of social respon-
sibility thereto. The administrative
departments must become reconciled
to the recruitment of capable men
from outside official ranks.
Monarchist Views Felt.
A nationalist speaker retorted that
it was impossible to eradicate the
deep monarchist sympathies from the
hearts of numerous Germans. He was
Interrupted by adverse shouts. The
government, he declared, had better
turn it's attention to stemming the
influx of undesirable aliens and

which were pandering to depraved
tastes.

number of Russians in Berlin has
swollen to 100000. They are of all
classes, e:s fs from ma apparently ; wealthy to
are law-abiding and seemingly wish
only a quiet life; others, whose
sources of income are mysterious,
have become denizens of the under
world.
The Berlin police believe it is about
w
formed on the "riotous living" which
is inspiring much hostile criticism
abroad. most of which is laid at the
door of the native Berliners.
Excesses Laid to Foreitners.
The police claim there is unim-
peachable evidence that such excesses
are solely indulged in by foreigners.
They cited typical instance. when

can afford to travel the great white
way nowadays" a police sergeant re-
marked in discussing life in the capi-
tai. He, however, is only small
fraction of the class which is giving
Berlin an undeserved reputation as a
sink Of iniquity'
gists believe that the time has arrived
for concerted international co-opera-
ton to round>, up criminals of all
nationalities who are finding Germany
a particularly lucrative field for their
operations.
I'm addition to the collapse of
morals, set in in Germany after the
war;" continued the police official, I'VE
have our hands full in checking the
criminal elements of all classes, who
found Germany before the war a poor
field. These men are practicising their
arts in every conceivable form here"
Hard to Identify Crooks.

understanding, the police point out,
makes it difficult to identify crooks,
and the former practice Of dealing
with them through consulates and
embassies involves roundabout pro-
cedure, which illustrates prompt action.
