Revolution in
Germany, Opinion
Steward C.. Hoffman

Portland, Me- Nov. THE opin-
ion that revolution is coming in
Germany, and the sooner it comes
the better, was expressed by Chief
Steward c. Hoffman of tho North
German Lloyd steamship Seydlitz be-
fore her departure early today for
New York with 2S5 cabin passen-
gers after discharSing 470 immi-
grants here.
He found it difficult to find words
to express his feelings of the situa-
ton in the fatherland, and was ex-
ceedingly pessimistic in so far as
the present Republican form of gov
ernmentsis concerned. Its no use,"
he said. "a republic cannot succeed
in Germany"
Just what will be the outcome of
the revolution, If one develops--and
it seems to be on the way according
to their way of thinking-neither
Mp. Hoffman nor other officers of the
Seydlitz, who were interviewed,
could forecast. They were certain of
one thing. however, and that is that
events are moving to a crisis.
The chief steward said he hoped
the crisis would be reached before
tho long Winter sets in. 'It will
serve to clear the atmosphere, any
way" he said. He declared it is diff
ficult for workers to get much more
than money enough to pay for their
meals. The situation is aggravated
by the indus trial slump in some Sec
tons, causing much idleness.

Desiring to see at first hand some

said, that the league has been able
to function as well as 1t has, in view
of the obstacles placed in it's path.
Il found a number of Americans
there, including Representative Por-

the sessions being held. The mem
bers of the league assembly are sin

the league was formed.
When one stops to consider that
the league idea is centuries old and
that the present assembly is the first

years. it may be said that the results
thus far accomplished are gratifying.

WASHINGTON ADVISED

Washington, Nov. Reports of an
official nature have reached President
Coolidge indicating strongly that the
population of Germany may soon
need assistance in the way of food
stuffs, but the American government
thus far has formulated no decision
as to steps it might take.
The reports have told of a lack OF
food and of an inability to. supply
considerable portions of Germany's
population with the food that is
available.
The president has had the reports
under consideration, but so far has
not determined from what quarter
the assistance may be best given.
The suggestion was made at the
White House that undoubtedly
France would be able to take care of
the needs of the population in the
occupied districts and that charity
from other countries might furnish
funds to satisfy the necessities of
other sections of Germany.
The American Society of Friends
announced several days ago it plan
ned to aid in feeding German chill
dren this winter and had obtained
the services of Major General Henry
7. Allen, retired, who commanded
the American forces on the Rhine, to
supervise relief activities.
Secretary Hoover has given Cen
eral Allen letter endorsing the pro-
posal of the society.

MILLIONS TO HEAR
WILSON'S MESSAGE
BY RADIO, NOV. 10

Washington. Nov. 2-Woodrow
Wilson will address the American
people on the night of November 10
on THE Significance of Armistice
Day"
He will speak from his S street
home here and his message will be
carried to every section of the coun-
try by radio. 1t will be, the first
time his voice has been heard out
side of Washington since he was
stricken in the west in September,
1919. while carrying to the country
his hight for the league of nations.
The former president has PROM
lsed to speak for ten minutes and his
friends believe he will devote much
of the address to the subject closest
TO his heart-American participation
in the establishment of the peace of
the world. They would not be sur
prised If he touched upon the pres
ent international situation.
Mr.. Wilson's message probably
Will be heard by millions. not only
by owners of home radio sets, but
also by crowds at public gatherings
for which his friends in many cities
are expected to arrange.
Under present plans the former
president will begin to speak at s
o'clock. talking into a microphone.
His message will be carried over a
telephone wire to an input speech
apparatus mounted on a truck sta
toned IN the yard of the S. street
home. Amplified by this apparatus,
1t will be carried on telephone wires
to the WCAP broadcasting station
here and on another set of wires to
the WEAF station in New York,
where it will be amplified again be-
fore being broadcast on a different
wave length from that used by
WCAP.
The message by Mr.. Wilson will be
quite apart from any visit to his
home on Armistice Day. Arrange
ments for this demonstration are
now being made by committee
headed by Huston Thompson, of the
Federal Trade Commission.

RESTRICTIONS MAKE
PREPARATIONS PROBE
USELESS, COOLIDGE

Washington, Nov. 2-Restrictions
on the scope OF the proposed expert
commission inquiry into German
capacity to pay PREPARATIONS may
render it useless to proceed with the
plan in the view of President Cool
idge as made known today at the
White House.
The original proposal, it was de-
CARED. was for a complete and in
elusive examination of the question
and official advices thus far received
from abroad have indicated acquies-
cenSe in that plan. Press reports Of
speeches made by Premier Poincare
of France have indicated desire to
restrict the inquiry, however, and it
was pointed out that the Washington
government was as yet uncertain as
to what its attitude would be toward
an invitation to participate unoffi-
cially in restricted inquiry.
1t was indicated that in the event
restrictions were placed on the
scope of the experts inquiry which,
in the opinion of officials here.
would render it's studies not hopeful
of good results. American participa-
ton probably would be agreed upon
only with the distinct understanding
that the Washington government be-
lieved from the outset that the eff
fort to settle the reparations ques-
tons in that way would be futile.
Although no steps have been taken
toward selection of TIE American
representative or representatives on
the committee of experts, the presi-
dent has decided that no member OF
the cabinet shall be selected. The.
statement was mades at the White.
House that it would be difficult for d
cabinet officer to leave his post in
and. even If one were
chosen, to keep his activities on the
commission from being regarded as
