I spent my time mostly among Liberals
in Berlin, but my judgment is not based
alone on what they said. One may

the whole people. '" As early as June I
heard the question asked: "Why are
I avoided a reply, and tbe
cu.stioner said: "We are hated not
only by the allies but also by the Amer
icans, the Bulgarians an the Turks.
What is the matter with us?" Re
cently I overheard a woman streetcar
conductor say to another woman
"They say every people get what they
deserve: we are getting our desserts
now." This change of heart would not
have come if the armies had not been
beaten, but the people are better for
it. One feels the growth of the new
democratic senttrr.ent In thousands ot
ways. There Is freer talk and less
servilit: of inferior toward superior.
Crowds go to hear the Liberal speakers.
It is in the air, and this has gone so far
that Germany will probably never go
back. First, there has been a radical
change in the political system. The
Civil Cabinet has already assumed con
trol, and it is unhorsing the general
staff.
Brest Spirit Has Changed.
Such dictation as that at Brest, where
the line was arbitrarily drawn for the
frontier of Russia, could not now be re
peated. Sllnlster Kuehlmann was then
helpless.' The general staff, which did
as it pleased, is now defeated and dis
credited. There have been actual
changes. In fact, even when not in ac
tual form of laws.
Anybody knowing Germany today is
oound to credit the statement in the
last note from Maximilian that the per-
PARIS, Oct. 26. Today's advices
from Zurich say it is reported that
anarchy reigns in Hungary. .
The correspondent says that In
Austria no notice is being taken of de
cisions arrived at by Berlin.
The sentiment at both Budapest and
Vienna is for "peace at any' price." .
The Czechs are now masters of the
situation at Prarue, It is said. The
Slovaks have decided to change the
name of Pressburg to Wllsonville. The
Ruthenlans of Galicla have decided for
a separate Ukrainian state comprising
regions of Austria-Hungary inhabited
by Ruthenlans.
LONDON, Oct. 26. An official state

state of humility. They are willing to
withdraw from France and Belgi irn, to

Liberal leaders, while not wholly ac

hope of developing democracy depends
upon the way the movement may be
handled. They believe it has come to
stay. If It does not fall at once, but If,
under a new democratic government

would end hope of democracy for a

fear that Germany may be crushed at
