STRIKE BOW
NEW YORK, August :>5.—The
strike of the garment workers of
New York city has been brought to
an end and all the striking employes
have returned to work under im
proved conditions. The difficuilty
was adjusted chiefly through the ef
forts of a board of arbitration and
conciliation, named by the federal
department of abor. This board con
i sisted of Etheibert Stewart, assist
ant commissioner of labor statistics
in the department of labor; John A.
Molfit, of Orange, New Jersey; and
Charles W. .Mills, a coal operator re
siding at Philadelphia.
Note—The John A. Molfit referred
to in the foregoing message was the
chairman of the board of concilia
tion and arbitration that adjusted the
wage question on the government
railway project at Anchorage.

BERLIN .August 4.— (By Mail—
: An American diplomat recently de
duced the greatest mistake in the
1 war is the use of the term “Militar
ism.” “No one,” he said, “will ever
agree on what itr means and it is go
ing to be difficult to end the war be
cause of that.”
Tlie spirit of the German people
during the last year cannot be shown
without discussing “German Militar
ism.” In outlining the people's atti
tude toward the war, the kaiser and
tlie government, militarism will not
be justified or criticised. Recent de
velopments in Germany will be discus
sed in their relation to what is gen
erally termed Germany’s military par
ty.
At the beginning of the war there
was great enthusiasm throughout
Germany. More than a million men
volunteered to fight. During tiie first
year they fought hard, died, or were
wounded. The people at home bpgun
, to economize. This spirit carried the
armies far into France and Russia.
During the second year this enthu
siasm has not been so great but the
determination of the people has not
abated. They want peace at once. IF
they can obtain reasonable terms of
peoce. If they had to vote to go on
until they can get these terms or to
stop and accept the terms of the en
emy, they would vote to go on.
Germany wants peace because Ger
many believes she has won the war.
There are critics and grumblers dis
satisfied with everything. Every bel
ligerent has about as many as the
other. The difference is that in Eng
land they grumble publicly; in Ger
many they cannot; and when people
cannot criticise publicly, they do it
twice as hard privately.
The people are individually person
ally interested in the war because ev
ery person has some relative at the
front. The best indivation of the
public support of the war is the vote
of the Reichstag in June of the new
war credit of two billion marks. There
was less opposition to it than to the
one before. The socialists supported
t for the fourth time ami socialist
members of the Reichstag are in
hourly touch with public sentiment.
Philip Scheidemann, a socialist
leader, is one of the best-informed
men in Germany «n public sentiment
! scheidemann is in constant communi
cation with the imperial chancellor.
Hie chancellor is received more often
! by the kaiser than any other of the
ministers. Scheidemann and the chan
cellor are the connecting links be
I tween the kaiser and the people. If
Scheidemann and his followers did not
have confidence in the chancellor and
in tile kaiser there would be more ev
1 idences of it in the reichstag. The
kaiser trusts the chancellor’s judg
ment, absolutely. Scheidemann trusts,
the chancellor’s judgment and the
public trusts the socialist leader.
So the public still has confidence in
the aims of the government as an
nounced by von Bethmann-Hoilweg in
| the reichstag.
The people themselves deny that
; they are militaristic. They believe
their army is the police force, thor
oughly equipped and prepared for de
fense. To the people, this is a defen
sive war. They are not fighting to
hold Belgium, Poland or Servia. They
are against annexation. If the war
lasts longer and they are further vic
torious, they may change, but there is
no indication of it now. Whatever
happens a great deal will depend up
on the attitude of the press. The
Germans know there has been a
strong military party and they know
this party is today politically weaker
than it ever has been.
At the beginning of the war there
were three public leaders of the group
of politicians called in America “Im
perialists.” The republican party :n
America, for instance, has been
mown as the imperialistic party. Ger
nany had a republican party. The
‘Uncle Joe Cannon” of this party was
.on Hevdebrand, a conservative. :tn
lexationist member of the reichstag.
Hie “Big Navy Man” was Grand Ad- ■
nirai von Tirpitz. The “Big Army
dan” was General von Moitke and
ienerai von Bemhaitii.
| Heydebraad now has practically no !
influence outside his party and the
!other parties in the reiehstag outvote j
his party nearly two to one. Tirpitz ;
has resigned and been succeeded by a;
t'rieml of the chancellor. Moltke no ‘ j
longer is chief of staff. He has been ; I
succeeded by a man who is one of the i
kaiser’s best friends and a man who. !
'during the crisis with America work-! I
, ed for an adjustment to avoid a break, j
i Bernhardi, practically unknown to the j j
German public, has been commander! |
of an army in Posen since the begin- I
ning of the war. He has no influence j
in the government.
What has happened has been writ- {
ten on the pages of the press every
' day during the last year of the war.;
'The chancellor has won out against i
the “republicans” and “standpatters,” j
the annexationists, the trouble makers '
tile tire eaters and all the other
brands of politicians in this class in I
Germany, where they are present just
as they are in every other country in \
the world.
That is the reason the spirit of the
German people as a whole is good.
The people trust the chancellor. The
kaiser trusts von Bethmann-Hollweg’s
judgment. The reichstag respects
von Bethmatm-Hollweg’s statement
and ideas and if the war last3 another
year from present indications it will
strengthen the position of the chancel
lor and every move in that direction is
a move towards a freer Germany be
cause the chancellor and kaiser are
both pledged to franchise reforms in
Germany after the war, the very
things the old leaders of the so-called
“military party” have been fighting
against for the last five years.
