FRIENDS OF MONARCHY
IN GERNANY'S ARMY
BY JOHN aRAuDENz

United Press staff Correspondentl
BERLIN. April 12.-The question OF
whether Germany Nwill remain a re-
public or turn back TO monarchism
largely depends to what extent it viii
be possible to replace the monarchis-
tic habits and institutions by republi-
can ideas and means.
THE Reichswehr German Army
is now a reliable instrument Of the re-
public" minister Gessler declared in
the Reiehstag.
Even his friends, the democrats.
smiled sceptically Gessler is an hon
est man and probably means what he
says, but there are plenty of people
who have some doubts about the re-
liability of the army as far as their
protection of the republic is concern
cd. OF course they would undoubted-
ly support the republican government
in case of danger from outside or at
tacks from the Reds.
1t is a well-known fact that after
the Kapp putch many officers who
tDpenly declared themselves as true re-
publicans- were slowly but surely re-
moved from the army Today at least
ninety per cent of the Officers corps
are monarchists. While they prob
ably are aware that for some years
there is no chance for. the restoration
of the monarchy, the officers are al
ways prepared for it, The bulk of the
army is composed Of very young men
and old sefgcants of the ~ tynn.
A company Of the tenth infantry
regiment of the ar'Ny wh' g tat m
ed at Munich held a costume bail.
one of the men dressed up as a jockey
wore scarf around the waist in
black ed-gold, the colOrs of the rev
republican flag. AS soon as he was
spied by an officer, he was summoned
out of the hall and told to remove the
colors of the Empire. The officer
retorted 1--WE only acknowledge the
old colors, black -white-red." When
the soldier declared he had sworn
faith to the republican government,
officers ordered three men to throw
him out. This is the real spirit with
In the German army. The police
seem to be the real instrument of the
republic. OF course large parts of the
officers are monarchists. But the
men are completely on the other side
of the Fence. The men have regular
organizatiins which protect their
rights against the officers and there
are constantly controversies between
the two.
The backbone of the old regime
were the so-called "landrat," or dis
tricts presidents. They were called
the real kings of Prussia. They were
about all mighty OF the total 42O
Iandrats in Rrussia, nearly half have
been replaced by republicans. namely
sixty socialists, sixty democrats and
sixty members of the Centrist party
Besides these Landrats, number OF
governors and provincial presidents
have been replaced. tA

From the time . girl reaches the

The condition that the girl Is then

have such far-reaehing effects upon

il is almost criminal for q mother or

Many a woman has suffered years
