labyrinth of the German rex-olutlon
and tho bewildering maze ot the pres

Germans Fex erlshljx Scheming
One fundamental fact btands out
clearly amidst the universal contusion.
Germany has accepted atmlstice terms
and peace principles which Involve
tonstderablo teriltorial sacrifices and
the pajment of hcaxy indemnities.
The Germans accepted theso condi
tions because the fortune of war had
changed camp and thoy are a nation
who are quickly demoralized by defeat.
Now that the fighting has stopped
they haxe plucked up courage again
and are feverishly scheming to ex ado
fulfilling tho conditions to which they
subscribed.
Germany Is divided into three or
four hostile political camps at pres
ent; Socialists, Bolshevists, Liberals
'and Junkers are intriguing furiously
jagalnst each other to realize their sex
cral ambitions; but alt these parties
re unanimously conx-inced that the
omtnant aim of German) 's foreign

Their advice on reconstruction Is
likely to govern the American view
point as to the amount of repara

of the big issues dixiding Piesident
Wilson and the Allied Piemiers.
They xx ill also adxise on the whole
question of tcstoration of enemy

Vatue MiCoiiiiuk, who auived
with Hatuch, xill become adviser on
the icstoiation of the tiadc world,
especially lcgarding ncutinls, wheie
each ally is jealously watching the
othei s, lest, entering tho ncuttal
lountnes hungry for commodities,
they will make contiacts which will
monopolize the maikets. The world
is finding it haul to stait again the

Kconomic Censorship
Another subject on xxhich Me
Cot mkk will be adviser is the cen-
soiship, which now is largely main
tained foi eionomic icasons. By
leading all telegtaph messages and
lettets, the Allied Governments will
be able to prexent Geiman trading
or tiading xxith Geiman interests in
all paits of the xxoild. They will
also be nble to xxatch each othet'a
