GERMANY MUST | » QUIT BY SPRING Collapse Is Predicted by Ameri- can Who Recently Escaped as From Country, PEOPLE SUFFERING ACUTELY Internal Conditions Far Worse Than Pictured—Some War Loans to Be Repudiated—Austria Is Un- able to Break Away. Zurich—An American citizen has arrived here with an amazing story of internal conditions in Germany. Since war was declared this man,/ whose identity is kept secret at his own request, has lived in Germany. He has worked with Germans, dwelt with them, been one of them, and has acquired an intimate knowledge of conditions existing in Germany. In his opinion Germany is suffering acutely now, and dissatisfaction and worse reign in certain strata of her army and navy. Recent mutinous up- Tisings have had to be sternly re- pressed and the mutineers shot. Thoughtful Germany, he thinks com- prising men of the Ballin type, is des- perately eager for peace, and secretly eager to end the war before America bas been utterly alienated. Feared Army Service. This man left Germany early in Oc- tober, because he had reason to fear that he was to be impressed for mill- tary service, “The economic situation in Ger- many,” he says, “is far worse than any one on the outside realizes, is so critical that I for one look for a break, a collapse, next spring or late {n the winter. Nor are the good crops that one hears boasts about every once In so often going to change the situa- | tion materially, | “Throughout the German people there is what amounts to a hatred of America, and this hatred has been carefully concentrated on President Wilson, because it 1s easier to hate & man than a nation—especially a na- tion that is the home of pretty nearly every one’s relative. Do Not Hate America. “But the big men of Germany, the men who have to look ahead and guide the empire after the war, do not hate America. They feel too keenly that they need America, and they would like to stem the tide of hate be- fore it becomes mutual and the United States is alienated, perhaps for all time. “They know that after the war there ts only one country in the world where they can get the money they will need, America, and they are worrying a-plen- ty nowadays, “They, and all Germany, want tn- Creasingly a peace that shall specify, among other things, the right to pur- chase raw as well as finished materials anywhere in the world on the same terms as any other nation. “Every indication points to probable Confiscation of property and repudia- ton of perhaps half the war loans af- ter the war. Even the percentage of Property to be confiscated is being talked of, and It seems probable that the government will take 20 per cent of everything. To Nullify War Loans, “On the other hand, it seems prob- able from all I hear that an even half of all outstanding war loans will be nullified. Fifty per cent will be repaid, and the other 50 per cent will either be canceled or will merely continue to pay interest—will be a sort of perpet- ual investment, the capital for which cannot be realized. “As surely as anything can be pre- dicted there will be in the central pow- ers a series of laws forbidding emigra- tion, and fn anticipation of them count- less Germans today are talking about ways and means of getting away af- ter the war. The first German ship that lands in America after hostilities will leave 70 per cent of its crew be- hind. “It is becoming clearer and clearer to Germans every day that all the talk, that has gone the rounds about a ‘Central Europe’ after the model of Professor Naumann and others will be out of the question. “Contrary to the belief that seems to be almost universal outside of Ger- many, I really believe that pan-Ger- manism is on the decrease among the masses of the people, and this despite the increased noise about it every- where in Germany and the intensive way in which it is being encouraged. The reason for this is that more and more the German people are coming to realize what a catastrophe it will be for them after the war is over if they are hated in all the world. Pan- Germani!sm, they are coming to feel, is likely'to intensify the feeling against them, nnd thereby make their econ- omie struggie In the future more diffl- cult.” Butterflies Rob Bees. Fresno, Cal.—Butterflies have be come so greedy in Fresno county that honey bees have gone on strike, ac- cording to C. R. Snyder, bee inspector of this district. The butterflies have been.robbing the bees of the nectar in flowers, and finally the honey makers became sort of discouraged, and re cently the bees have virtually been do- ing no work at all.
