which It will be difficult to dissipate Tho
German Government, he adds, has never
acted according to the Ilelchstag's Julv
repolutlon, and the Chancellor's decla
ration about Belgium was too late and
too Indefinite.
He expresses the belief that the de
pression In Germany has been caused
by the Pan-German war alms, and he
seercly condemns the U-boat politicians
who promised victory by submarine war
fare In a few months.
"So away with Pan-German Ideas."
ho says, 'for our own sakes. for Pan
Germanism Is doing moral damage to
our people's character."
Ho admits that the world has a right
to demand that the German people give
a pledge that tho Pan-German spirit of
tho presumption of force, of hostility to
culture and of barbarism Is not the Ger
man spirit.
Tho best means, he says, of showing
that the ruling factors In Germany have
finally Irrevocably turned Tan-Germanism
out of doors would be to collect, all
theiprewar Pan-German bellicose utter
ances and at tho same tlmo to show by
reference to the literature of tho enemy
how much damage Pan-German agita
tion has done and how It was responsible
for bringing about tho catastrophe of
war.
The article attracts a great deal of
attention In the German press and will
undoubtedly give an Impetus to that
capipalgn against ths Pan-Germans
which is being waged by persons and In
circles having considerable Influence on
the public mind.
Meanwhile reports of coming changes
In the German Government are much
discussed throughout the country.
The International Korrespondenz, the
organ of the extreme right of the So
cialist party, believes that tho Prussian
upper house will persist In Its attitude
of hostility to franchise reform, and
doubts It Hertllng will have the neces
sary strength to te chief of staff in tho
decisive battle for reform. It also doubts
If his administration Is fitted for tho
serious task of leading the German peo.
pie through the fifth winter of tho war.
Hertllng's paper government, the article
concludes, has been a failure and a de
ception. The Berliner Tageblatt thinks that the
mention of Scheldemann and Erzberger
as members of the Government is merely
designed to rouse a conservative cam
paign against them and to make them
impossible as candidates for such an
honor.
There is a definite denial, of course,
that changes are in contemplation, and
It should always be borne In mind that
certain of the reports that moderation
Is progressing In Germany may very
possibly be directed toward creating an
effect In England In view of a general
election.

New Political Crisis in
Germany
REICHSTAG PARTY BUSY
Will Try to Prevent Von
Hintze From Making Ex

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
CopiiHoM, 1918, lu Xew York Timta Co.
The Hague, Sept. 12.
Once again rumors of a governmental
crisis are gaining ground in Berlin. It
Is certain that something new Is afoot,
but It Is difficult to say whether this
moemcnt Is part of the general peace
offensive or has Its origin In the fresh
political combinations now In process In
Germany.
Tho Berlin correspondent of the semi
official Cologno Gazette denies all
rumors on prlnc.ple, but especially those
relating to Important political changes,
which his paper has not announced.
He says that It would be an act of
political Insanity even to play with the
Idea of a Government crisis at the
present Juncture.
Meanwhile Internal and forelcn nrfnlr.
arc discussed and often settled without
tno Helchstag majority party being even
consulted This clement is decidedly
disgruntled, and Is striving after more
parliamentary power.
Tho famous Catholic leader, Krzber
gcr, who has been somewhat In the
ncKground since the latest Ooernnient
upheaval, is the ringleader of this new
movement, and Is organizing a strong
combination with the left wing of the
Catholic parts-, which will probably form
a group with tho Progressives and So
cialists He has been striving to un
dermine Hertllng's position.
Most papers deny the rumors of the
Chancellor's resignation Although the
Kolnlscho Volks Zcitung, one of his
organs, Is obliged to admit that ma
chinations nre In progress, It s-cofTs at
"parlUmentarization."
Erzberger has always belonged to the
party which dlsapproed the U-boat war.
"It is crazy, and you will seo tho re
sults of It," ho said eighteen months ago
to an Informant of jour correspondent.
The f"ct that most Germans are now
obliged to admit the failure of the sub
marine war only strengthens tho Erz
berger party.
Tlio Itelchstag paTty leaders are very
busy conferring these days, and It ap
pears that they are trying to keep Von
Hintze from making his expected speech,
as they feel that any speech made at
present will not bo moderate enough to
further peaco Interests. The Foreign
Minister hurried to army headquarters
Immediately on his return from Vienna.
Mos,t newspapers agree that no prog
ress has been made In settling the Polish
question since Von Hintze held his con
ference with Burlan.
The International Korrespondenz says
that the crisis affecting the Chancellor
ship Is duo to the delay In the reform of

House refuses to move in Us, favor. It
asserts, the Government must resign
and then it will bo a question whether.

PARIS SURE FOCH WILL
BREAK HINDENBURG LINE
Serene Confidence Throughout France That When He Is
Ready Allied Generalissimo Can Resume
Victorious Drive
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copvrtoht, isis. bv New York Times Co.
Pari., Sept. 12.
From the viewpoint of a non-French
observer the splrituat and mental physi
ognomy of Paris today Is remarkable.
Wo are at what Is universally admitted
to bo a comparative pause In tho might
iest aggressive military effort tho world
has ccr seen.
After eight weeks of continuous Ic
torlcs tho armjes that tho Oennans be
lieved to be hopelessly weakened and
Incapable of further effort have recov
ered by sheer hard fighting an enormous
extent of territory which tho German
mllltnry machine nt tho height of Its effi
ciency required more than doublo that
period to conquor. Tho Allies now find
theiniehes faced by a. still enormously
powerful adversary strongly entrenched
In positions wnlch ho believes, or did
until recently, to bo Impregnable.
Tho view of Paris today, however, re
gards the future with more sereno con
fidence than at any prelous moment
since the war began. Oono is all the
vague unrest tint cxcd and disturbed
the nation nearly four long years. The
nlld rumors that formerly ran through
the city almost hourly aro nonexistent.
If anything of the kind Is mentioned, It
Is promptly suppressed as tho work of
some enemy agent operating by subtle
and devious ways.
Clemenceau's leadership of the nation
Is acclaimed hy all, even by his political
foes. The supreme military skill of Focli
and tho Inestimable boon which unity of
command has conferred on the Allies are
realized keenly by the humblest rag
picker In the city. The whole maBS of
the population is as ono as to the entire
Justice of our side In the war and the
certainty of the coming lctory.
No Taint of Bonus rarlflsm
In spite of tho fact that humanltarlan
Ism Is one of the most deeply rooted fca
tures of French mentality, there Is no
eldence here of the lrus of bogus
pacifism. Tho lgorous action of Clemcn
ccau, In the full knowledge that he has
tho whole nation behind him since he
took office, has drained the last taints
of this person from the constitution of
tho nation. Politically and morally to
day tho Paris front Is Impregnable. And
In this, whatever may ho the case under
ether circumstances, Paris stands for
the whole of France.
With a spirit of this kind, tho famous
Hlndenburg line, which the enemy ad
mittedly succeeded In elevating to tho
rank of a nightmare a year ago, has no
terror for French opinion today. No
Illusions are folt as to the formidable
nature of the defensive positions Into
which tho enemy has1 been now driven,
but in the French mind the whole mean
ing of what Is somewhat loosely termed
tho Hlndenburg line has undergone a
comptote change. Today it is regardedi
here merely as a series of positions,
most of which are undoubtedly strong,
but no more to bo feared than any one
of dozens of strong defensive .positions
which have been overcome by Foch and
tho Allied generals andithelr troops dur
ing the last two months. .i
It Is now realized 'hero that,the. basic
factor In the great'HInffenburg 'retreat
cf last year was not so much the In
herent strength of the positions, of the
line to which the 'enemy then retired as
the fact that he deliberately left behind
him and the Allied armies a broad belt
of devastated country .which they would
requlro months to organize before they
would bo able again to assume the of
fensive. Today this factor is virtually non
existent. Tho Germans have been
wwm
mm
lilt
Hill
driven right Into their positions of
retreat with the Ictorlous Allies close on
their heels and hammering furiously
there before they have oven time to
Install themselves In safety.
Itlndrnbnrr I.lne Broken
Moreover, as every expert points out,
tho Hlndenburg line between Lens nnd
rthelms Is no longer Intact. The
British havo opened a seven or eight
mile door In It above Cambral and In
front of Cambral, It la Insisted here,
there Is no more Hlndenburg line at
all. There, at any rate, the Germans
havo nothing but Improvised trenches to
meet tho British attacks.
Tho situation Is almost as satisfac
tory, as Paris sees It, at the other end
of tho battle. On the Allette, Mangln's
men have secured tho Solssons plateau
and are threatening to deprlvo the
enemy of the magnificent defensive post
tlons of tho Chcmln-des-Damos, which
tho French occupied nearly twelve
months In'conquerlng In 1317.
Further, It la realized hero, the
strength of the enemy line does not
consist merely In fortifications, but In
tho military value of the men defend
Ing them. I,udendorff's shock troops,
such ns aro left of them, aro no good
as far ns their Special qualities go for
defensive purposes. Moreover- both In
quantity and quality, the available men
of the enemy are now known to be
most unfavorably rated as compared
with six months ago.
The belief is growing dally here that
In view of all the circumstances, what
remains of the Hlndenburg line can be
successfully attacked, If Foch thinks fit
to do so. The general opinion, however.
Is that the Allied commander-in-chief
will succeed In rendering the much
aunted enemy lino useless to him by
quite other means than by direct attack,
even of the kind that Mangln has been
cleverly employing lately. Bonaparte,
It Is pointed out, found the key to
Egypt In "tho plain of Marengo, and It
was by the battle of Wattlgnlcs, In
17D3, that Carnot freed Maubeuge.
Where Foch will strike the blow that
wilt havo the samo effect on the Hlnden
burg line that tho trumpets of Joshua
had on the walls of Jericho, Paris Is
content to leave to Foch himself to
settle. The only feeling Paris has In
tho matter Is the certainty that wher
ever Foch Btrikes the necessary blow,
tho Hlndenburg lino will surely fall.

"Nearly all the Ocrmans have aban

German domination, which is draining
their blood and famishing- them. More
and more every day they are morally
depressed, and their military discipline
is breaking down.
"The beseeching walls of their fam
