— 'MILITARISM GROWING PAGE FOUR IN NEW GERMANY By Frank J. Taylor. (United Press Correspondent.) . Berlin, April 24. (By Mail)— Since its birth the German republic has had to decide between two op- posite extremes to maintain {tself and keep from being overthrown by the radicals. The two courses open, as the cabinet saw Ebert-Scheidemann them, were: 1," Bowing to the demands of the proletariat and becoming radical, al- most to the extent of communism, or at least extreme sqcialism. 2. Becoming militaristic and fol- lowing the methods of the old Ger- man government of crushing oppo- sition by force. More and more it is becoming clear that the cabinet chpse the latter course, probably in self-defense, and under the pretext of saving Ger- many from bolshevism. What is more serious, both to the Germans ‘and other peoples, is that the. German Republic is becoming handy with militarism, and under the cover of “resisting bolshevism” is evidemtly trying to hide the strength of the republic’s military machine. Figuring that the new republic if it were really pacific, would be will- ing to make a ‘“show-down’ of Ger- many’s military strength to convince the outside .world of good intentions, the United Press correspondent asked the war office for some data. Finally the war office sent for the correspondent and an agreeable young captain, explained how weak Germany is at present, militarily. He said Germany could not even re- sist the holsheviks, if the latter chose to rise. Asked what the actual strength of the German forces is, the captain re- plied that.the war office itself did not know. .This ignorance of the war. office, he explajned by the fact that numerous leaders were organ- izing new volunteer units. The cap- tain declined to guass the strength of the German:forces on the grounds that he did not want the figures pab- lished “for fear the bolsheviks would see how weak the militia {s and over- throw {t.” Every man in the army is a vol- unteer, according to the war office. Berlin is crowded with soldiers scat- tered over the city, but this is due to the fact, says the war office, that members of the old army regulars who are no longer on- active duty, have to be housed. Hence the ¢rowded barracks. The war office offéred no explanation 'as to why these 'men .werd fed. and _ housed, though inactive; and the active work guarding Berlin is ‘done largely by -pravincial traops. o 3 i ;Enlistment 13 ‘{ndefinite, in the volunteer units, ‘with the condition that a man can leave the militia upon giving four weeks notice. Every unit has a band, many of the first rate. Guards with rifles ready aré every- where, and autp trucks armed with machine guns roam about the city in" gearch for trouble. . Barbed wire barricades are not removed . from many streets since the last fighing. Except for a_wave of crime, rob- bery -and plundering, which swept Berlin the last week in March, Ber- lin, is well protected. The war office is busy and rushing, Swank officers are numerous and are as monocled and military as in the old days Démocracy is manifésted, however,.in the agreeable way the war office treat outsiders—a new thing in Ger- many. 8o much for what the war office wanted United Press readers to be- lieve. What the war office did not give out through the agreeable cap- tsllln was gathered through a major who has been converted to pacifism. He sought out a friend high up in the war Office and secured some first hand_{nformation, because --he. be- ieved publicity might lead to action which . may prevent the rebirth of nmiilitarism in-Germany. The_ friend; in the war office re- marked in ;answer to the major's query as to Germany’s strength, “Well, we could muster a million men along the Rhine in less than a eek. They’d have *plenty of can- non and machine-guns and ammuni- tion to hold out for a while, in a pinch.” more than two-hundred seventy-five thousand helmeted men under arms, in aectual service now. Of these, seventy thousand are in Berlin, sixty thousand are in the Rhur district, guarding the industrial district, sup- posedly, and the remainder are scat- tered between the Polish front and other cities in which disturbances are expected. A noticeable feature {s that the majority of troops are not along the bolshevik front, but are scattered over the country. The government evidently fears radicalism much more from within than from without. The government is determined to crush all opposition. Practically all of Germany is in a state of siege. This state has never been lifted from Berlin. There are thirty thousand reserve officers {n Berlin, all register- ed and within call. . An additional source of troops is the so-called “citizens’ guard,” civil- jans who are ready to report on call, under government orders. The war office, said the war office man, knows where the machine-guns, grenades, and other supplies are located. . Government troops are becoming more and more loyal, due to the privilege and the food they get. While the women and children are l;ungfy. good food is allowed to spoil reserved for military emergencies. The Berliner Tagablatt printed an exposure on April 3 of how, in Ham- burg, enormous military supplies of butter, bacon, ham, conserves, beans, rice, rye, meal, cocoa and other foods were rotting, while thousands in the city starved. Radical and pacifist Germany dreads this growth of the military under the pretext of preparing to combat bolshevism. The radicals and pacifists include thousands of in- tellectuals. .The biggest opposition to the military movement is from the workmen, who demand abolition of the army. ) Production of arms and ammuni- ~The “high up” said Germany has| - . 2. .. ..
