Berlin.—Under the new republic the departments of the army and, navy 4are no more, In name at least. The republic’s name for them is defense, and they are placed under charge of ‘Gustav ‘Noske, much trusted by “the government for his prompt action in ~emergenclies, and much hated by the - Spartacans for his relentless opposl - tlon when dizorders break out. “* “Noske's appointment ‘as head of the NAavy, as well as the army, was regard-. none too seriously, by Noske him- paper man what he expected to do ‘+ about.the naval affairs of Germany in the future, Noske langhed and replied: *“Why worty about naval affairs, when we haven’t any navy?” ~There are still sallors in big num- bers.in Germany, however, and they have been a problem. During the revo- Intion the satlors played an Important part, and most of them developed such .~ & liking to land duty in Berlin and the other big cities that they have refused " _to leave for Kiel or any of the har- N ‘bors. Now the satlors are used in the "guard regiments all over Germany, -along with soldiers. Big Army Disappears.. The German army-is in process of reorganization. Immediately after the . armistice the army almost disappeared a8 an organized unit, and though there . wéra millions of men in uniform scat- tered ali over the land, none was re- ponsitle to anyone, and officers were not safe in uniform. In localities the soldlers joined “Red guard” groups, and some served and others misused their privileges. Thus the army as it was known in the old days practically vanished," except for a few dlvisions ~ mnder Hindenburg, camped behind the . ‘Rbine, and the troops along the Polish border. Now the only army of the field that f . Germany has Is in the east to guard . againat the DPoles. It is commanded “ by Hindenburg and Is supposed to be not more than 60,000 or 70,000 men, if it numbers that many. However, government troops are scattered over the country in every big city and in industrial ‘centers - to guard against disorders. The big problem s keep- “ing these troops faithful and safls- fied, when Spartacan propagands and . money is at large. Under Noske and the minister of war, Colonel Reinhard, the morale and discipline of the gov- ernment troops have improved tremen- dously until a great part of the fors 3 (per efficlency is restored. Depends on Peace Terms. Germany's army Is in a transitory state. What it will become depends upon the peace terms, the Germans recognize. But there ‘has evidently been 3 change in idea in the govern- ment. Early in the revolution Bbert declared himself against a conscripted army, and Noske and Reinbard were appointed to organize volunteer forces, smerving for short periods, to defend the new government. As a matter of fact the troops used for interior de- fense are all volunteers, mostly young men, +serving for three or six months at gocd pay. The policy of the new republic will be against conscription In theory, de clares President Ebert, but there is'not much hope of putting the theory into effect, for it is pointed out that Ger- many will not abolish conscription un- less the neighhoring nations do. Since ilie Germans do not expect thelr' neigh- bors to depend on volunteers, plans are being worked out for a new con- s scription armoy, serving shorter periods snd modeled more after the Swiss “than the old Prussian army. The militia *dea is popular, but is consid- ered idealistic. * The German army of interlor de- fense, which probably numbers around a hundred {housand men, or possibly ¢ a few thousand nx i3 an expensive proposition. Volunteers have fo be patd wall to keep them from being won over hy the Spartacans, who offer more money. Food and equipmént is %ood. The new army has-a rather slack discipline, end none of the old Prus- sian snap is seen when officers ap- pear. Famillarity and almost inso- lence are seen on every hand. The German trooper has changed a lot with the revolution, and if appearances are at all Indicative, the government “* forces 'in Germany today are not tm be feared outside Germany.
