Under the suise Of taking extra
ordinary precautions against those
who might harm the Kaiser. the
monarchists have succeeded In
working themselves to a position
where they can, dictate who may
and who may not have interviews
with the royal prisoner. The re-
suit is that the Kaiser's knowl-
edge Of German public opinion is
wholly based upon what the mon.
archist conspirators wish him to
know.
y They have persuaded him to be-
lieve that the rank and file of
Germany. especially the middle
classes, are anxlously awaiting the

turn to Berlin in all his past glory.

Relies on Ludendorf.

One evening during the latter
part of last March the Kaiser out
lined to me in great detail the
many aspects Of the coming revo-
luton.
He has implicit confidence In
Ludendorff's hearty support Of the
monarchist cause.
The Kaiser believes that the
general will throw himself into the
conflict after the revolution has
taken place.
He realizes that the overthrow
of the republic can be easily
accomplished, but that the difficult
part is to maintain the coup d'etat.
II Is then that he expects Luden-
dorff to take fun command Of tho
situation.
The now white-haired, highly
nervous. at times credulous, but in
his normal senses highly arrogant
aspirant to his former unques-
toned rule over millions can never

many would leaye him alone to
live his life In his Doorn solitude.
Germany need not fear even the
wild dreams Of the secret societies
made up Of former officers.
But we who were monarchists
and yet were patriotic enough to
consider the welfare Of the Father
land above our own personal par
tisanship became alarmed when
we began to realize that behind
these secret organizations, mads
up Of former soldiers. lurked nearly
all the great land powers, indus
trial barons and the former retinue
Of the civil service.
The Kaiser expounded to me in
that March talk that he especially

and women weakened by priva-

The armistice and the peace con.
strained her to refund q part Of
the booty taken from the invaded
lands. They deprived her of her
mercantile navy, a portion Of her
railroad stock. some Of her richest
territories. They forced her to
pay milliards. not many as COM
pared to what the treaties had
demanded she should pay, but
enough to enable a land to be
killed that was already corpse.
Finally, her defeat and the
revolution annulled the internal
credit OF her government, as the
war had already liquidated her
foreign credits. While the I'm.
perial Government. so long as
there remained a hope Of victory,
could contract in Germany all
the loans they required, the re-
public had no other resource but
the printing press. 1t has been
forced to abuse in the issue OF
paper money, that Is to say Of
the most insidious and danger
Gus debt.
And after all this the world
wonders that the center Of
Europe threatens to collapse, and
deludes itself with the belief that
a moratorium Of some years
duration and a loan will effect
salvation!
OUT FOR GENERATIONS.
But Germany has been ruined by
the war for several generations.
and hence will be harassed for
many years to come with agita-
tions of every species.
What will happen 1t is difficult
to foresee. but all is possible and
everything can be feared-at-
tempts to restore the monarchy.
Communist revolts, civil war.
Many believe that nothing In to be
feared from Germany because her
people are energetic and indus

day a peril just because her people
are energetic and industrious and
strong. Hence she will not resign
herself to her misfortunes as easily
as Austria has done.
