News of the revolution in Germany will surprise no one the surprise is that the Ebert government has been able to main tain itself for so long a time. At best a makeshift, representing but a portion of the German people, it remained in power because of circumstances the prostration of Germany by the war and the rout of her ruling classes. It was not radical enough to please Entered ss second class mail matter; o.ial!if a onii inn rnrlipnt in nlaaan jia iiirtVot-a hut a nm promise tnat nas managea to tiae over a most critical period ana prevented a rule of terror and a rule of chaos. The success of the revolutionary movement will depend upon its popular support. At present only Berlin is held, and that by force of troops. If the people remain loyal to the Socialist regime of Ebert, the revolution will be of short duration even though the reactionaries and royalists flock to its support. The greatest handicap that the government has suffered, is lack of administrative ability. Autocracy, such as Germany has endured, offers opportunity for only the ruling caste to develop the art of government, initiative and resource being suppressed. Lack of talent has necessarily hampered the Ebert regime and delayed the restoration of normal conditions and many mistakes have wearied the people of the drifting policy of reconstruction. From the nature of their previous environment, accustomed to having their public problems decided for them, ruled by iron discipline and rigid laws, democracy, as we understand the word, was neither understood nor desired by the German people. The revolution was forced upon them by the collapse of kaiserism and not a matter of their own creation. Germany has always been ruled from the top down, never from the bottom up and it has always been questionable whether the Germans do not prefer the old order at least in modified form. Of course since the armistice, monarchists and junkers have been busy plotting a return to power, but while there exists a sentiment favorable to the re-establishment of the monarchy, correspondents say there is little desire for the return of the kaiser, and if royalty is enthroned, its powers will be constitution ally limited. ' The principal elements of discontent in Germany are said to be the junkers who yearn for Prussian supremacy, the Sparticists and returning, war prisoners who are dissatisfied with the slow reconstruction methods of the administration, and the reaction aries. Included m the reactionaries, it is said, are the 63,000 troops recruited by Von Der Goltz for their loyalty to the former government, this lorce occupied the Baltic states until its with. drawal was forced by the allies, and was afterwards reported to have disbanded. It was a picked army of men all of whom were reported to be out of sympathy with a republican government, In all probability, the Allied powers will not interfere with the internal affairs of Germany and permit Germans to settle their own troubles. They will, however, look to the German gov ernment, whatever form it may take, to comply with the terms of the peace treaty. Revolution is always followed by reaction, but liberties se cured usually endure. Germany will probably have several revo lutions, if seizure of government like that in progress can be call ed a revolution, before stable government is secured, which can only come with restoration of prosperity. Not only Germany, but all of Europe is on the verge of anarchy and unless famine is relieved and industry made possible, we may expect numerous revolutions and a reversion to the bar barism that followed the thirty years war arid overwhelmed the civilization of Central Europe. Meanwhile the callous indifference to the fate of Europe ex hibited by the United States and its senate surpasses belief. Small wonder America is becoming hated as the blood profiteer among nations, intent only upon protits and the shirking of responsibility, i f Rippling Rhymes BY WALT MASON BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY JL STOLE"' Mir MM rwv.fr!4- You can imagine how surprised he' was when he stopped and read Jasper Jay's sign.

Enjoy the whooping winds of March, exult in every stormy day, recline beneath a bending larch, and breathe in all the air you may. For soon the climate will repeat the stunt it's pulled for countless years, and ship in every brand of heat that it can bring from solar spheres. The later sultry days of June are just before you, as you'll find ; July will land upon you soon, and August won't be far behind. So sit beneath a tortured beech, and let the cold winds tan your brow; enjoy the March winds as they screech Iyou have such blessings with you now. For soon again you'll have to rise to tasks 'neath which the spirit squirms ; again you'll have to swat the lacs, and boil the microbes and the germs. Through long, long summer nights you'll lie, and yearn in vain for soothing sleep, and wish the weather sharps might die, or moulder in a donjon keep. ' So sit beneath the spreading oak, and let the March winds do their trick; the heat of summer is no joke, and it is coming, pretty quick.

He felt quite Important "I shall have to ask you all to go away now," he 'said. "Painting pic tures is very difficult work. It would make me nervous to have so many people watching me." So his callers left him all but Mr. Fox. "I'm Rijing to stay right here," Mr. Fox said. "And as soon as you finish with Mr. Crow, you can begin my pic ture." .And he looked so surly that Jimmy Rabbit didn't dare object. At last Mr. Crow arrived. "I'd have been here before," he said, "but I stopped to get a new hat." "That's too bad!" Jimmy told him. "You know, gentlemen never wear hats when they're having their por traits painted. But I'll tell you what you can do," he added, for he saw that Mr. Crow was disappointed. "You can hold your hat in your hand." That seemed to make Mr. Crow feel better. But Mr. Fox almost spoiled everything by saying, "Then he'll have to stand on one leg." Jimmy Rabbit hadn't thought of that. And Mr. Crow only made It harder for him. For .he said In a loud voice, "No hat, no picture!" Jimmy Rabbit thought very hard. And pretty soon he smiled all over his face. "It's all right!" he said. "I know how to fix It, Mr. Crow. You can hold your hat, just as I said." So everybody was happy again except Mr. Fox, who had hoped that old Mr. Crow would go away. Jimmy Rabbit showed Mr. Crow where to stand. And then he began to paint. And while he worked, Mr, Fox looked over his shoulder It was not long before something seemed to please Mr. Fox, for he smiled broadly. Mr. Crow noticed that grln.x "What's he laughing at?" he asked. "I don't see anything to laugh at Jimmy Rabbit looked around. Bu Mr. Fox was as solemn as an owl, "He isn't laughing," sail Jimmy "Certainly not!" said Mr. Fox. "Your eyes must be bad, Mr. Crow. "Well, I didn't bring my spectacles, Mr. Crow answered. "I thought I'd look better without them, After that Mr. Fox managed to keep a sober face. But inside he was laughing as hard as could be. "What makes him shake so?" Mr. Crow asked, a few minutes later. I must have caught cold," Mr, ox replied. "I've been chilly all the morning." You'd better go home," Jimmy Rabbit advised him. But Mr; Fox clothes and hurried to Jimmy's house. to have their pictures painted. They were disappointed when Jim my told them all that they would have to wait. But after I ve made a picture of Mr. Crow you shall each have your turn," he promised. school to which every woman should go. I think that every woman should marry even if she knows that she will be as unhappy as I have been, an unhappiness, however, which no girl ever expects." "Are you still unhappy, dear," he asked rather wistfully. "It doesn't seem possible you could talk the way you do if you were. You speak of it as if you were another person. You are too philosophical, too analytical for the story to be your own." "I do not think so,". I answered. "No happy woman, or man either, for that matter, is ever a philosopher While our blessings outnumber our woes we do not stop to count them." Tomorrow A Visit from Helen and Bob.
