Senator Pomeretu defines what a
good man is “There are a lot of
good men in the coal business”, he j
said, "they contribute to Liberty |
loans and to Red Cross funds, hut
generally speaking they are a greedy
lot willing to exact the last farth
ing in profits”. At least they are
good businessmen. And let not
Pomerene forget that it was to
these men whom Providence in liis;

rigid of workingmen to organize.

P i s say they cannot and those
who attempt to do so are black

That seems a very simple matter,
one way or another and indeed so
it s The ownership which the trac

in tuii a position wherein they -tan

With wha* will anyone compare
this, but with the autocracy which
kings and powerful lords posses
under feudalism.

While reports are generously cir
culated to the effect that there is
much social unrest in Germany and
that a revolution is probable at a
not very remote period, it would he
unwise to figure prematurely upon
any such an eventuality There si
considerable radicalism in Germany.
But the idea that force well and
carefully administered may not
suppress even general radical symp
toms may not be wisely held. Ger
man military organization is pecu
larly efficient and German military
discipline is certainly nearly per
fect. Its effect upon the popu'ar
mind is lasting and seems still deep
enough after the attrition of three
horrible years of suffering and priva
tion and sacrifice has almost worn
| away all other sensibilities.
The ruling classes in German..
■ ire still firmly entrenched. The po
pular mind is still . ne.-r for ilo
struggle and the news doled on;
i trora time to lint . news well cab ,
Gated for the purpose, is su<-h as
to stimulate* them tor further •
i tort in the war.
The masses of tin- G -rtnan people

love of imperialist designs. Km it
the man who is reluctant to con
quer loves conquest and that tee
war will yet bring '1. rtnan victorj
| is the assured promise of every Ger
man leader. The Germans have not
\ witnessed any foes upon their sail
J since the very earliest months of fit •
war. They have seen multitudes o(
1 prisoners captured; they lune read
the record of great victories. The*
believe that the British fleet v a.
anihilated in the battle of Jutland,
they feel that in a 3hort tir.'.e the
entire Allied tonnage will be at the
bottom of the sea. Germany nav be
suffering deprivation, hunger and
semi-starvation may he genetai, but
what is that when victory will fin
ally be theirs And so the Kaiser
says, so Hindenberg says, so Holl- j
weg says, so Zimmerman savs and l
so Michaels says.
While an intelligent number ot i
socialists may doubt and may re
gard as impossible any hope of a
peace with victory and the poss-1
ibility of peace with annexation and j
indemnities general, the masses still j
follow their leaders as they do j
everywhre. They do the same in j
every country; they do it in France, J
in England, in the United States.
And furthermore although the in
dicate who reject the nonsense or
the rulers and who know that this
war will not end in a German con
quest, but will end more likely in
a world of revolt, may be becor ins
more numerous, they are ne'le r
numerous enough nor strong enough
nor determined enough to overcome
the mentai effect of the military j
discipline has become par: of the
national existence.
Practically all the belligerent aa-j
tii ns in Europe are passing Giro; ii
a somewhat similar experience to
that through which Russia I as j
passed through, and it is not iu.prt b- j
able that Germany may be the next, j
But she may not be; and .t has to j
be admitted that just at pres- nt
there is nothing in sight to make it ;
salt to predict that Germany will!
be. Indeed it is not impossible that
the ending of this war aiid the Ger
man revolution may first be pre
ceded by a movement in Austria
looking towards a separate peace. A
separate peace between the Entente
and Austria, Bulgaria. and Turkey
would have serious r-sults.
