Germany Then in Throes
of Post War Decentralization


At that time Germany was in the
throes of postwar decentralization. A
few weeks before | had arrived in
Berlin in the midst of the Spartacist
riots, which began on December "a,
1918, and lasted until after the as
sassination of Carl Liebknecht and
Rosa Luxemburg. | had travelled from
Berlin to Cassel on an unlighted, un-
heated military train. standing in n
corridor. in which every window was
broken, all night long, with a detach-
mcnt of regular troops being sent to
help the Berlin Volunteer Corps just
organized under Col. Reinhard to put
down the revolutionary Red Guard.
The new Ebert Government, supported
~ the Majority Socialist party, the
right wing Of the Social Democrats,
under Philipp Scheidemann, was hold
ing on by its fin2ernails. Already
serious differences had arisen between
il and the moribund Soldiers and
Workmen's councils which declared
that the revolution had been betrayed
~ the "Scheidemmnner.' There was
i tripartite fight on between the eX-
treme radicals. who were in the first
stages OF disilusionment as to the re-
suits OF the revolution: the Ebert
forces and the Nationalists, who were
apparently helping the Ebert Govern
ment to maintain order, but secretly
forming the Officers Corps in prepara-
ton for the reactionary 'putsches' OF
1919 and 1920.
The Ebert regime was attacked on
nn sides, but il was it's very weakness
that enabled il to weather the sue
cession Of political storms. The oppo-
ei;ion parties were all too busy hating
,nd PLOTTING against each other. and
no one party was strong enough alone
to overthrow the Government. All
Germany was given over to a sue
ccssion Of talkfests in whicl abuse and
recrimination of present and past
Governments, of all political leaders
and parties, and criticisms of the Allies
were rife. The only people who took
no part in it were the bankers and the
great industrials. IT was very rare to
see a statement from one OF the di-
rectors of the Dresdener or Deutscher
Bank SHINES. Thyssen, Rathenau
and tie other industrial barons were
doing lot of thinking and acting, but
very little talking.

Declares He Has Also Learned
 Much of British Judiciary

Cambridge, Eng. July (By Asso- ciated Press)-Chief | Justice Taft nearing the end of his visit to Eng. land, has asked the Associated Press to inform tn American people of the splendid reception and glowing hos pitality he has received from the Britiah. Before leaving last night for Aberdeen, Scotland. where he will receive another honorary degree. he said:
 .- My greeting has been SO generous and 50 sincerely cordial that I am unable to nnd words adequately to convey my gratitude, but cannot help feeling that Englands warm manifestations were not toward me as ap individual but in my capacity as a representative of the millions of Americans overseas.
 T have gathered an immense fund of information respecting England's judicial procedure which I will try to digest on the ocean with a view to presenting the main features Of the system to the American bar associa- ton convention in August
 English practice simplihes the pro- cedure by embracing both law and equity in single action. Prelimi- nary hearings compel both parties to disclose the evidence that is relevant on each side, so that when the issue is presented in court 1t can be expe- diti6usly disposed of"

COALITION IS URGED
Clerical and Socialist Democratic Par ties in Germany Address Joint Ap- peal to German People.

Berlin, July 7.-(By Associated Press. s.)-Clerical and socialist demo. cratic parties have addressed a joint appeal to the German peoples party inviting the latter to enter the gov- ernment coalition "as the need of the hour demands the enrolment of all the national elements who are willing to lend active aid in the work of safe guarding and building up the repub- lic."

 Berlin continues without bourgeoise newspapers, the striking printers only permitting the appearance of the so- cialistic and communistic organs. The strike threatens to spread over all Germany, tying up all but the radical press.

ard and jaguar groups, they had orders
to engage the foremost men and women
performers of the European capitals.

are all to be seen with this wonder cir.
