BERNE. Dec. 3.—(By MaiD—There
has just arrived here from Germany
a naturalized American who has liv
ed in Germany throughout the war,
worked in German seaport cities, pass
ing for or being considered a German
subject, mingling not only with the
common people, but having occasion
al access to the councils of the high.
In his opinion Germany is suffering
acutely now and dissatisfaction and
worse reign in certain strata of her
army and navy. Recent mutinous up
risings have had to be sternly repress
ed and the mutineers shot. Thought
ful Germany, he thinks, comprising
men of the Ballin type, is deperatelv
anxious for peace and secretly anxi
ous to end the war before America
has ben utterly alienated.
This man left Germany early in
October, because he had reason to
fear that he was going to be impress
ed for military service. The German
government had refused to recognize
the validity of his American naturaliz-j
ation since he failed to comply with;
the law existing in 1913 and did not j
seek the consent of the German gov
ernment to his step. To get out he
- had to induce the Spanish embassy to
bring pressure to bear on the German
government. On reaching Switzer
land one or nis nrst steps was to \
seek the Associated Press correspon- i
dent, to whom he first proved satis- j
i'actorily his American citizenship, ]
then volunteered such information as !
he possessed about Germany as the1
duty of a patriotic American citizen.1
Strangely enough, at the very mo-;
, j ment he was telling his story with de
■ | tails about mutinies in the German
1 navy, the German minister of marine,
Admiral yon Capelle, was announcing
the naval mutinies to the Reichstag.
“The economic situation in Ger
many,” he says, “is far worse than
anyone on the outside realizes, is so
critical that I for 6ne look for a break,
a collapse, next spring or late in the
winter. Nor are the good crops that
one hears boast about every once in
so often going to change the situa
■ tion materially.
“Throughout the German people
there is w hat amounts to a hatred of
America, and this hatred has been
carefully concentrated on President
Wilson because it is easier to hate a
man than a nation, especially a na
tion that is the home of pretty nearly
everyone’s relative
“Cut the big men of Germany, the
men who have to look ahead and guide
the empire after the war, do fiot hate
America. They feel too keenly that
they need America, and they would
like to stem the tide of hate before
it becomes mutual and the United
States are alienated, perhaps for all
time. ,> t, r vTV*
“They know that after the war
there is only one country in the world
where they can get the money they
shall need, America, and they are
worrying a plenty nowadays. They,
and all Germany, want increasingly a
peace that shall specify, among other
things, the right to purchase raw as
well as finished materials anywhere
iD the world on the same terms as
any other nation. v
"Every indication points to prob
able confiscation or property and re
pudiation of perhaps half the war
loan totals after the war. Even the
percentage of property to be confis
cated is being talked of, and it seems
probable that the government will
take twenty percent of everything,
“On the other hand it seems prob
able from all I hear that an even half
of all outstanding war loans will be
nullified. The seventh will ssffer ex
actly as the first and the rirst 4s the
seventh. Fifty percent will be repaid,
and the other fifty percent will eith
er he cancelled or will mw.j.ly con
tinue to pay interest—will pe a sort
for wh'icfi cannot be realized.
“As surely as anything can be pre
dicted there will be in the Central I
powers a series of laws forbidding!
emigration. And in anticipation of:
thorn countless Germans today are |
talking about ways and means of get-'
ting away after the war. South and '
North America, and peculiarly enough I
New Zealand and Australia, are the
havens to which they speak of flee- j
ing. The first German ship that lands |
in America after hostilities will leave
fifty percent of its crew behind,
“It is becoming clearer and clearer
to Germans every day that all the
talk that has gone the rounds about
a "Central Europe” after the model
of Professor Naumann and others will
be out of the question.
"Contrary to the belief that seems
to be almost universal outside of Ger
many, I really believe that Pan-Ger
manism is- on the decrease rather
than the increase among the masses
t>f the people, and this despite the in
creased noise about it everywhere in
Germany and the intensive way in
which it is being encouraged. The
reason for this is that more and more’
the German people are coming to re-'
alize what a castastrophe it will be
for them after the war is over if they
are hated in all the world. Pan-Ger
manism, they are qoming to feel, is
likely to intensify the feeling against
them, and thereby make their econ
omic struggle in the future more diffi
cult."
He then touched briefly on Austro
German relations and cautioned
against any hope that Austria will
fall away from her big ally, for, he
| explained, she is too dependent fin
' ancially and militarily, to be able to
I shake loose, much as she might like
to do so. The German military au
thorities see to it that German sol
! diers are intermingled with Austrian
troops not only to spur them on in
fighting but also to prevent their quit
ting. 1 .► .
Ifegarding the naval and military
situation he told of mutinies aboard
batleships as hinted at by Von Cap
elle. The men had. he said, dismount
ed guns and thrown them overboard,
had asaulted office** afid refused to
obey orders, in the hope of crippling
the German n;ivy and bringing about
j a peace of desperation in that way.
; ■ .=.
The mutinous forces, however, had
not been large or strong enough to
accomplish much, and had been put
down. Most of them were shot, oth
ers in exceptional cases had been put
hack into service on their promise to
be good.
This spirit, he continued, extended
to the army also, fanned to a flame
occasionally by sectional jealousy and
dislike. Thus he said he knew that
miniature battles had been fought be
twen Bavarian and Prussian troops,
and that certain troops on the east
front had on one occasion mutinied
and declared in favor of marching on
Berlin rather than Petrograd. Natur
ally all news about these and similar
clashes had ben carefully suppressed
and leaked out only when the soldiers j
returned or wrote home, in the same
way that sailors in Hamburg and Kiel
spread the first reports of the mutin
ies aboard the ships.
