Peace bnvlUR been stentd and man

Prasslan .militarism, ha about" served
its i turn. The facade Is itlll needed in
order to evade oa far as polble the
fulfilment of the, terms of the Ver
sailles treat?, and for thlo reason It
seems probabje that the Germans will
postpono the proclamation of Uielr new
kalimr for some little time longer.
The general belief In Oermauy Is that
the next step of the Prussian monarch -Ints
will be -to get HlndrnburR elected
president of the republic. Kverywhere
else In Europe there would be Rome
reason to fear that o vastly popular
military president of this Rort might
be tcmptel to make himself emperor,
recnrdless of the claims of the legltl.
mato dynasty. Not so in Oermany. The
I'riiRslnn (tenerals, however brutally
autocratic they may be toward their
mibordlnntefl, have been tratned for
centuries As humble and obedient ccrv
ants -of the Uohensollerns and the idea
of usurpinR their place would never
enter their minds.

fiencva. March 8. It will be remem
btrcJ that Karl Itadek, the Bolshevik
emt'Miry who had been delegated by
the Moscow soviet to assist the Spar
t&clstsln boIshevl!iiB Qcrmnny. wasar
rested by the Berlin authorities after
tie communist rising that ended with
the death of Llcbltnecht and Itosa Lux
emburg. He was kept n close prisoner
la the Moablt penitentiary during many
nonths, without ever being brought to
trial. Suddenly, about nix weeks ago,
be was released, ostensibly In compli
ance with protests from Moscow nnd in
order to be deported to Russia.
Soon after his release n series of
sensational articles were published in
S"prtakus, the lending orgnn of the
Spartncist party. They were signed
"Arnold Struthahn," and their general
purport was that the Spartuelsts should
adopt a more conciliatory policy to
ward the Scheidemann Socialists nnd
frnln fmm revolutionary roups, which
rttt doomed to failure, the time not
jet being ripe for a proletarian revolt
In Germany.
Radek Stirring Up Bogy
This Ppartacus campaign rowed n
iood deal of dissension among the
Spartaelsts nnd almost led to n party
split. Now "Arnold Struthahn" is no
body else but Karl Radek himself, who
was never deported, but let out ot
prison and allowed to remain in Berlin
on condition that he would exert lilm
kH to partlyxe the activities of the
Snartnciits.
Whenever Oermany wantu to obtain '
concessions from tho Allies nnd to elude
the terms of the Versailles treaty, re
jorts of Imminent Sparlaclsts, risings
tad the discovery of communist plots In
tarious Oermnn cities ere diligently
tprfad by the Wolff Agency utm the
lovernment press. These reports are
manufactured by the BO-ealled "bureau
for military information." whose head
quarters are lu the Moabit Criminal
Court in Berlin, and whose chiefs nre
Captain von Bost nnd Lleutennnt vnu
Mlnchwitz. both officers of the "Bclchs.
nchr." They have under their orders
ore than 2000 agents, and the offico
costs the bankrupt Berlin government
many millions enrh month.
The aim of this institution in spread
in; exaggerated stories about Spartncist
activities is threefold : To strengthen the
monarchist movement in Oermany by
frightening the public, to bluff the Allies
with the bogy of bolshcvlsm nnd to en
courage extreme revolutionary elements
in the Kntente countries by making them
tellrvc that German communism is about
to triumph.
False Report a Prussian Coup
The bureau's "Information"" fre
quently linds its way, through AVolft
and the German newspapers, into the
neutral and allied press. Thus, a short
time ago, alarming accounts of n great
Spartaclst outbreak in Brunswick were
widely circulated, telling how thousands'
of revolutionary sailors frpm Kiel had
arrived in tho town and proclaimed the
dictatorship of the proletariat. There
was not a word of truth In this tale, and
the Wolff 'Agency itself wns forced to
retract it, asserting that the mistake
was due to the gathering of n large
crowd in front of the Brunswick rail
road station to welcome returning pris
oners of war!
There is abundant evidence proving
that the popular demonstration befnro
the Bclrhstag building in Berlin, which
terminated so tragically, was deliberate
ly converted into a Hpartnclst "coup"
by the Prussian militarists in order to
impress the Allies on the eve of thelt
demand for the surrender of the German
war criminals.
"Disarmed Germany" Wauts Revenge
It is fairly certuln that there will be
lome more or less serious communist
eutbrcuks, caused chiefly by economic
distress In thi German rltlen nrwl in
dustrial districts in the nenr future, but
') "i u )niuc3ir tiupiiresspu nnd
the bodies of the victims will pave the
way for the triumphant return of kat-
lemm.
The volleys fired in front of the
Reichstag have demonstrated that "dls
armed" Germany has the most ruth
essly reliable army at its disposal that
is extant in Burope at the present time
A country with an army of this sort
will never become the prey of bolshe
vlam .however desperate its ecouomic
iml financial situation may be. a
The German people is not looking
for mlvHtiou to bolshevlsm. like so many
other European nations, but to kaiser-
lra and Its program of military revenge.
lUUcrlsm, Not Bolshevism, MenuceV
hver since the conclusion of the
armistice the allied statesmen have been
warned by the best political connolscure
S;i.i'"imuny U,.ftt kaiserism and not
bolshevlsm constituted the greatest men.
Tin t0 IS n "public across the
h w ifrtn,t" n,,d Privileges the Ber
ire , iVj have never d"f'l to touch,
foels-; . S "i1 ,nrlstocr"t8 who fled into
l.,? e,lll hordes came to sack and
occupy wo prcsiaency jusi inng enough
to render the transition from republic
to monarchy less abrupt, nnd then he
will resign without a murmur and make
way for whichever imperial prince the
monarchists may decide to place on the
throne. .And the grotesque republican
Interlude, which the unwilling German
people are forced by defeat to net before
the world, will be definitely over.
Crown Frlnco's Son for Throne
The plans of the Prussian mon
archists, according to my information,
at present center around the ex-crowu
Krlncc'a eldest son, Prince William, a
oy of fourteen, who is now living with
his mother In Potsdam. The iden is to
appoint the ex-Grown Princess Ocille,
who Is very nopular, as regent until he
comes of age.
I am told that the ex-kascr. In the
course of secret conferences which re
cently took place In Holland between
him nnd prominent monarchist leaders,
has sanctioned this project, while the
ex-crown prince hns angrily refused to
renounce his rights In fnvor of his sou.
The estrangement between him nnd his
wife Is chiefly due to her having given
her consent to this plan, nnd he hat
also quarreled with his father for
agreeing to it.
However, tho ex -kaiser's ostensible
renunclntion is likewise open to sus
picion, for it is still possible that Wil
liam II. who is not madder now than he
nlwujs has beeu, is still scheming to
play n role In Oermany, in spite of the
general belief to the contrary.
Constitutional Monarchy as Disguise
I nm further Informed that the scheme
for the restoration of kalscrlsm includes
the establishment of n "constitutional,
popular monarch" n "Volksknlser
tum," ns It Is termed by its inventor.
Count Westarp, the most astute of the
monarchist leaders, who mandged the
negotiations with the Imperial deserters
In Holland. Tho Junkers know very
well thnt the restoration pure nnd
simple of kftlserlsm In Its old form would
meet with opposition in the nllled
countries nnd possibly In some quarters
In Germany also. So they are going to
disguise It iu n way calculated to in
spire the liberal monarchists of Europe
with confidence, nnd Germany, after
having been camouflaged n "Socialist
republic," will be camouflaged as a
"constitutional monnrchy."
But the new knlserlsm, whatever Its
disguise and whoever may be proclaimed
emperor, will resemble the old In spirit
and policy nnd bo Just ns dangerous to
democracy and pence. Tor it will owe
its existence to the triumph of elements
animated by feelings of Intense hatred
and revenge, to nil thnt Is Prussian In
Germany, to the apostles of militarism
nnd the philosophers of might.
Kalscrlsm nnd Prosperity
If the German people embrace
kalRerlsm anew, It will be becnusc they
expect from it A recrudescence of pros
perity nnd power through Intrigues
otid military force. Germany Is broken
todny, but her plight la by no means so
desperate as she is trying, not without
success, to make the Allies believe. Her
finances are shattered, but so are those
ot most European countries. It is
ridiculous to compare Berlin, sur
rounded by the vast agricultural land of
the Junkers, with starving Vienna, left
almost without nny territory at all.
There nre unmistakable signs that tho
allied diplomats arc growing alarmed
about the situation in Uermanv and are
planning to admit her without delay into
js i ' ;
the keriguo of Nations. If they Imagine
that they can thos best prevent her re
turn to knlserlsm and forestall her
schemes of revenge, they strangely de
ceive themselves. Germany Is not going
t,. i.nfnr Mm leoKue without "reserva
tions" of her own mental reservations
ire
practically annulling tho
covenant.

HONDURAN SOLONS IN FIGHT
Pitched Battle Occur In Congress.
Twenty Dead or Wounded I
Mexico City, March 8. (By A. P.)
Members of the Honduran Congress!
of Deputies engaged In n pitched battle
during tho third week ,of lVbmary, .
there being twenty killed and wounded,1
according to private advices reaching
this city from. Tegucigalpa and published
In El Universal today. Among those
killed was Dr. Romulo E. Duron, presi
dent of the cosgreas.
It Is stnted the fight has resulted In n
new revolution led by General Tlburclo
Gnrcla against tho Gulterrw govern
ment. Opposition to the government had be
come so powerful that tho Uniterm
government was threatened and during a
session of the congress three weeks ngo
Dr. Veneico Callejns delivered n strong
speech ngnlnst Guiterrex. Enraged nt
tlili attack, an ndhcrent of Ouiterre
shot and killed Doctor Callejas. Then
followed n battle in the chamber be
tween members of the body and followers
of the president, who, for tho most part,
were soldiers. In addition to President
Duron, three leading members of the
opposition party, who had not taken
.mrt in the lighting, were killed.

Iggpilelephoiie Business f
FOR twenty years the opera
tions of The Bell Telephone
Company of Pennsylvania have
never afforded the owners of the
property more dian a reasonable
return on a good, sound, con
servative investment.
This is not a Company that has been
marked by frenzied finance.. On the
contrary, there is not a drop of so-called
water in our capitalization.
It has created no great fortunes.
Because the Company is big, many
people think it has made "all sorts of
money" and is still making it.
The fact is as the published records
show that fancy dividends have always
given way to good plant maintenance,
adequate reserves against depreciation
and common -sense stability of the
business.
That's what good service depends on !
At the present time those essential
elements are facing serious danger.
There are not revenues enough to meet
our necessities. And unless adequate
rates arc forthcoming, and quickly, the
outcome is obvious a service danger
ously impaired and a property which,
because of the uncertainty of continued
returns, will not attract new capital for
improvements and extensions.
