I Better News From Germany .
!' lietter news litis lieen coming out of Germany. It is
reported that the old nationalist junkers have decided to
cease '..obstructing the institution of the Dawes plan be
cause they perceive that a continuance of their tactics can
cud only in disaster to themselves as well as to Germany.
The Ueichsta,g will have to pass three measures to make
the plan effective. These would authorize the transfer
of the German railroads to international administration,
establish a new gq!d bank of issue and place a blanket
mortgage on a portion ofvGerninn industries as n guaran
tee for the payment of reparations . . ;
A plain majority for these . measures might be mar
shaled by the government, but not a two-thirds, as the
nationalists have been contending is required by the con
stitution. The nationalists see that continued opposition
would bring about a new general election, in which they
would likely lose a number of seats owing to the growth
oi-. public , support-,for. the. Dawes plan, and this! '.is .the
swrct of their new and unexpected tractability. J
A second source of encouragement is afforded by the
reported compliance of Chancellor Marx with the allied
di;m:ind for resumption of controrover Germany's mili
tary establishment' to the extent of insuring that the
Versailles 'treaty is no being violated. It might be well
to recall tlie provisions of that article of the, .treaty. They
allowed Germany to have tin army of 100,000, but pre
scribed the dissolution of the old general staff.) Com
pulsory military service was to be abolished and military
training was to be discontinued. The supp.y of amis and
munitions was definitely limited and the manufacture of
poison gas, tanks and armored motor cafs was forbidden.
No war material was to be' imported. Germany was' to
lmve no air force, but might have a navy of six battle
ships,' six light cvuisers, twelve destroyers and twelve tor
pedo boats. Submarines were absolutely prohibited. No
fortifications were to be maintained by Germany between
the North Sea and the Iialtic. Three allied commissions
were to be permitted to make regular inspections to see
that Germany was keeping her word.
1 The allies say their work has been greatly obstructed
and one of the commissioners, Gen. Nollet,- new French
minister of war, charges that Germany has been giving
large numbers of young men military training, and has
been manufacturing war supplies, including ' poison gas.
The allied commissions will soon find out about it if
they are given the opportunity originally agreed to by:
Germany. At a time when the other nations are seeking
gfnuinely to help her back to financial stability, Germany,
cannot afford to engage in double dealing.

New York police, it is announced, will endeavor to pre
vent the sale of the Brooklyn bridge to any of the con-;
vention visitors. Evidently they expect those from the:
hinterland to be gullible.
Placing more power under the car's hood wouldn't be
so dangerous if there was some way to place more under
the driver's hat. 1
The chance of being a June bride may lie gone but other
months may be the next lest thing.
The soul of the grouch is simply a morgue where his
dead hopes are. .
Anyway, this is open season in New York for favorite
rons. ,
