BERLIN. April II. (Via Copenhagen
April :. (Special Cable.) "The In
ternal nllualion in Germany will clear
as ooq an the peace terms become
known to the German people."
So raid Krnest lauml. leader of the
radical win of the independent social
ists todav. and added:
"If a hard peace is signed, peace will
be a pure fiction. The terms will not
be kept by Uermany. If the present
icovernment siKns. It will fail at once
and there will not be anyone left In
power who will try to fulfill the harsh,
terms of such a peace."
Whether monarchists or communists
should succeed the present coalition,
the next irovernment would not be a
political one. bat entirely "question of
might." as Daumig put It.
Bloody StraaKle Ksarte.
On the other hand. If. as the leader
retards as highly probable, the next
government should not be political,
faring a hopeless dilemma It would not
assume the responsibility for signing
tha exoected harsh peace terras, but
would pass it on to the national as
sembly. Herr Daumis; expects a nation-wide
agitation by monarchists and militar
ies against signing a bard peace
which would result In a revival of
German nationalism and chauvinism
and of armaments. A weak govtro
ment unable to brlnic the people to fa
vor such a peace would be an easy
prey to this patriotic situation. Sign
or not. such a government will fall
either way.
Then, according to Daumig. Germany
will see the. real thins; in the way of
civil war for the renaisssnce of mili
tarism will cause the masses to rise
and kill. He expects a counter-revolution
and a long, hard, bloody strug
gle. Paumlg said further:
Red Propaganda spreads.
The rapid radlcallzation of the
masses Is continuing with the support
of the French socialists and of British
labor who wish Germany () escape a
Ionic term of heavy Indemnity pay
ments." It has just dawned on many Germans
that if the proffered peace terms are
rejected the allied army may move for
ward to Berlin. A pink newspaper ex
tra which was selling like hot cakes
on I nter den Linden today says:
"If Germany does not subscribe to
the entente's shameful conditions,
which probably will be the case, we
must calculate on enemy troops march
ing In. There Is only one help and
taat is to spread bolshevlsm In France."

"Quite a number, sir." replied the

"Who captured them?" asked the sec

"The little ones, sir." answered the
doughboy, smilingly.
"I knew the little men were fight

moved along to talk to other little fel

The secretary also heard that quite
a number of soldiers from the 3d were
taking home Luxembourg girls as

DISEASE RAPJDLY SPREADS
Hellenes Deported From Asia Minor
by Turks Live in Tents
Three Years.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
(Copyright. 11!. bjr the Now York Herald.
ruDiuaea oy Arrangement.)
SALONICA, April 24. Titles are
lightly conferred out here. Today,
within a single hour. I have been called
"Pasha,". Colonel, Captain, Sergeant,
Corporal and plain "Johnny," which is
the near east's name for the British
soldier. The scene of all this obse
quiousness, meant to allure Greek
leptas from my purse, was the refugee
camp at Vard, on the western fringe of
the town.
It was a woman who called me
"Pasha." She sat, fit subject for the
brush of a Dore, within a little tent,
improvised of rags, holding in her arms
a sick baby. The setting sun illumined
her swart and not unhandsome face,
with Its large, appealing eyes a Ma
donna of misery. Her garments were
rags and open almost to the waist. She
was dirty, as was the child over which
she crooned; for there were no facilities
for cleanliness anywhere about her.
Instead of a chair or rug the young
mother sat, as she slept, on the damp
ground. The covering which constituted
her abode was neither windproof nor
waterproof; a mere assortment of col
lected rags, no single piece a yard
square, the whole tied or sewn together.
Its dimensions were possibly four feet
In width, six in length and five feet
high at the peak. To one side was a
pallet of reeds and rags and behind the
woman, who crouched at the front of
the tent, was a nondescript heap of
worldly goods, including a gypsy's
equipment of cooking utensils. It was
the appearance of two foreigners that
made the woman acclaim the elder as
Pasha," which is the time-honored
beggar flattery.
Exiles in Tents Three Years.
There have been 60 or more of these
ragged, .miserable tents, unskilfully
made by people lacking money and ma
terial, in this particular encampment.
Adjacent other families had. found a
degree of shelter in the ruins of the
burnt district. The most tragic aspect
of the scene was that, although most
temporary in character, these tents had
been the homes of the exiles for three
years. A week of such squalor, incom
prehensible to America, would be a
calamity; three years of it simply
passes knowledge.
First of all there was the mud. These
tents were pitched upon ground that
was continually saturated with Salonica
rains, and In a fever-Infested district.
If the well-cared-for British army suf
fered more from malaria than from
wounds, what of these creatures, most
ly women and little children, whose
shelters were not waterproof and who
were clothed in no garments that ade
quately protected them from the rain
and who had no canteens or mess halls
or hospitals to which they could re
sort? Ground Sprend. Disease.
Then there were the smells. 'This Is
not a nice subject to contemplate; much
less is it pleasant to experience. While
these people belong to the noseless na
tions for the east 'has no sense of
stench the fact that all the ground
about them, on every hand, was impreg
nated with filth, since sanitary provis
ions were absolutely lacking, has a
pestilential meaning. Every square
foot of the ground bred disease.
Of actual hunger there was little,
for the Greek government provides the
literal bread and nothing else. Just to
have bread, however, is what keeps
these people encamped here.
To an occidental, the lack of privacy
would be horrible. Several groups were,
engaged out in the open in the familiar
oriental pastime of head-hunting: that
is, hunting In a friend's head for causes
of discomfort the sort of thing that

the vulgar gather outside the monkey
cages in the aoo to watch. Since this
friendly office must be performed, at
least it should have been behind some
curtain.
Why speak of what should have
been? In any western land these mis
erable deportees would at least have
been boused in barracks, with the com
monest facilities of decency. Doubtless,
to Judge from 'appearances and condi
tions, none of these people, old or
young, has had a bath for three years.
At least they became inured to the ele
ments. Yonder urchin of 4 or 5, furi
ously swinging a tin can in which he
has kindled a fire, wears no clothes ex
cept a coat, though I am none too warm
in winter uniform, plus sweater and
overcoat. This primitive life is the
easy reversion of the east to the nomad
habits of Its ancestors. It seems as if
the people live ever close to the an
cient orient.
Turks Deport Thousands.
This particular encampment of
Greeks represent the Hellenes deported
from Asia Minor by the Turks. In
France I saw French and Belgian refu
gees; and I smile to think of the
furore we raised over these families
who were helped by civilization as they
moved from their homes to havens of
refuge, provided in advance. By con
trast with the way the thing was done
In the east, that migration was a pleas
ant Cook's tour, personally conducted,
with all expenses paid.
Because what took place out here
was beyond the eye of western corre
spondents, the big world bad only the
faintest knowledge of the vast migra
tions of hundreds of thousands of per
sons that threaded the plains of Mace
donia and Asia Minor. They were com
posed of Greeks and Armenians driven
from Anatolia, and Turks and Bulgars
forced out of Macedonia. Turks went
back often, to take the homes vacated
by Christians. Caravans passed each
other on this bitter pilgrimage.
People la Pursuit of Life.

Abraham. Most of tho travel was afoot.
