What viii Kill the German Republi,

What Will Kill the German Republic
The German republic will not fall in
consequence of one assassinat lion, or OF
! three hundred. The killing of Erzber-
ger was heavy blow to the efficiency
of its governmental machine. and the
killing of Rathneau was still heavier
blow. But Germany does not lack in
efficient administrators, brave enough
to take up thankless labor under the
menace of assassination. The danger
to the German republic is of differ
tion now formally in operation did not
arise out of impulses native to the
German soil, nor take its shape accord
ing to Enthusiastically German con-
ceptions. 1t was knocked together to
meet an international emergency. The
Germans conceived that some such
form of state would serve the pur-
poses of economic rehabilitation after
their terrible defeat. The allied pow
ers and America had made a great
parade of their love of democracy. their
hatred of autocrats. They might rea-
sonably be expected to treat republic
can Germany with some slight show
of consideration.
And America would have been dis
posed to do this, and so would Eng
land. after decent interval for vent
ing indiscriminate hatred France
was not. So far as France is concerned,
there was never any sincerity in the
concentration of hatred upon the ksis-
or and the general staff. The French
hated the German people.
The German monarchists are per
fectly aware of this situation. There
is no hope for Germany except in re
sistance, they argue incessantly, and
the republic is not fit form for organ
lied resistance. The Germans tradi-
tionally the fiercest fighting stock in
the world, have experimental with
non-resistance, and the consequence is
humiliation upon humiliation. OF
course the French army would cross
the Rhine, If the Germans resisted, de- |
stroy German cities. decimate the civil !
population. But the expense would |
bankrupt France. And sooner or later
the British would find themselves
forced to a call halt.
That is the argument which is daily
iinned into the ears of tens of thous-
snds of Germans. II is disintegrating
the foundations of the German repub-
lie. The republic will stand for a time,
because there are corollaries OF horror

most sensible people shrink to con-
