Prince's eldest son, young Prince Wll
helm. Prince Eitel Friedrich, whoso
haughty, ovei bearing manner caused
him to bo generally detested in Gcr-
,'ttiany even befoio the war, has as-
aumed the Inevitable democratic dis
guise and is masquerading as a "red
pilnce" at Potsdam, issuing l evolu
tionary proclamations to the troops
of tho garrison. Crown Princess Ce
rllle has also addressed a pathetic ap
peal to the German people to bo al
lowed to remain with her chlldien in
the "dear fatherland." Originally she
Intended to accompany her husband
to the N'ethet lands, but a family coun

she should tiy to ipiuain in Geimany
and await future developments.
Obviously the Ueiman monarchists
hope sooner or later to place her son,
tviio is 'now a boy of twelve, on the
Imperial throne, with Prlnco Eltel
Filedrich as legent. , The Prussian
Junkers have wisely given up all
open opposition against, the new gov
ernment. Secietly they aio veiy ac
tive. It is a lemaik-ablo fact that
scarcely any news about tho develop

retain political control over these dls-'
trlcts, which ha e always been their ,
chief stronghold.

If tho Junkers should leally ever
(attempt to reestablish monarchlsm in '
'Germany, they could probably count
ton the sympathies of the upper middle !
classes and perhaps nlso on the val
uable suppott of tho unterofflzier caste
f and the vast army of subordinate offi
cials, tho "Gehclmracte" and "Kan.
zlelrattc," who have been taken over
in a body from the old imperial regime
by the new government and who ate
by interest and profession stanch mon-
arclilats.
But if Geimany ever reverts to Kat-
Facrlsan it will only be some time after
Uhe conclusion of peace. Alt Germans

"Should there be any regulation for

She told of Insulting remarks made
by elevator operators, employes of office
buildings and ill-bred men In nil sec

Miss Lauder also said some girls who
were on probation deliberately sought
occupations which Jeopardized their
morals. Very often, she declared, the
girls aro subject to ridicule. Testimony
of others was along the samo line.
"There Is no nioro daner to messenger
girls doing daylight service than to girls
emplojed In department stores," said

He said the company wbb compelled
to take girls for this work on account
of the war emergency, which started
last September, and that the largest
number of girls ever employed nt one
time was thirty-one. He asserted that
only one girl reported having been em
braced by a man while she was on
duty.
Mr. Silvers declared that the girls
were not as ambitious as the boys. The
boys averaged twenty dollars a week,
he said. '

I'aris, Jan. l.'l. Despite Lord
NorthcliuV.s .sUL'KCstion thut the
.
I'ovver.s sink tlit'ir pt hie and send ft
commission of injuiry into Hussi.i in
an interview in the Public Ledger as
to the likeliest Allied policy in Rus
sia, it appears that, none bus been
adopted yet.
NoithelifTes shift in the direction
of recognition of the liolslieviki is
.significant, because of his con
servatism, his close relation tt the
Hritish Government and his habit
of anticipating and foi mint? Hritish
opinion.
The mimes suggested by Xoith
cliffe aie significant. Aithur Ran-s-ome,
the Pctiograd concspondent
of the London Daily News, is a
radical. His dispatches have been
favorable to the Bolsheviki. Ray
mond Robbins, head of the Ameri
can Red Cross in Russia, who re
turned to Amotion favoring the Bol
sheviki, is irpoitcd to have official
documents showing the good faith
of the Bolsheviki toward the Allies.
He lould not le.ich the President
and submitted the documents to
Colonel House. As a Red Cross of
ficial he was under militai y discipline
and silenced because the Government
was alieatly committed to the view
of Geoige Ci eel's man, Si'son, that
the Bolsheviki weie in the pav of
Geimany, which Sisson purported to
ptove tluougli documents subse
quentlj disputed as fraudulent.
Must Adopt Policy Soon
The definite policy of the Allies
tow aid Russia must bo adopted soon
to satisfy Kuiopean public opinion.
Pie.-iident Wilson faces difficulties in
his picscnt position. He must have
the support of iailic.il opinion in
Europe and l.tdical supporteis, as
shown by the Italian Socialist inci
dent, me critical of his standing
vvitli the Allies on the question of
-ending tioops to Rus-ia, which they
legartl as militaristic intcivention,
although the American Administra
tion denies such intcivention and
says it only sent troops to save the
Czecho-Slovaks.
President Wilson natuially dysites
to put himself right with his popu
lar supporters in Eutopp. More
over, theie is a tising tide of public
opinion in England, which Lotd
No.'thcliffe senses as forcing the

1 that Russia must be opened to trade
along with Geimany.
There is no possibility of further
military intervention in Russia. All
Europe is tired of tho war. Tho .
only leal go-'prnmeiital sentiment
for intervention exists in France,
which is indicated by Pichon's reply
to. the British suggestion to invite
'the vatious Russian Governments to
1 hemi jeprcsentntives to
the Pence
Conference. '
Frciich Only for Intervention
The French motive is commeicial.
The French have large investments"
in Russian securities as former allies
of the lato Czar. French holders ot
those securities desire to see u gov
ernment set up in Russia which will
surely recognize theso debts and pay
their intciest.
Tho French policy is in favor of
intervention everywhere. Europo
Nouvelle, the leading French weekly,
devoted to foreign politics.'saya that
Franco actively supports tho Dmow
slty combination in Poland und that
Franco has sent a .strong military
mission to the Caucausus and that
