In the continued withdrawal of troops| from the East I was obliged to send Alsace Lorrainers again to the West Here they were not well received Eyen the reserves, which became available from the special troops, were for the most part unwilling to be placed in the infantry.

The agitation against the kaiser |and the crown prince and even too against the Bavarian crown prince bore its fruit. ‘The Bavarian troops began to look upon the war as a purely Prussian war. The commanding officers were no longer so willing to make uss of them as in the earlier years of the war. Only a few divisions threw themselves forward in the old way. |The Bavarians, as did the Saxons, |felt that they had been placed too often in the forefront of attacks so as to save Prussians. At home everyone was completely under the influence of the foe's propaganda and the speeches of the enemies’ statesmen, that were de signed particularly for us, (Presi- | dent Wilson's speeches were circu lated by hundreds of tnousands in |Germany.) We still could not enter into our foe's way of thinking. All the parties present in the reichstag, with exception of the right wing of the Center, echoed the blow-like words of the enemy's propaganda and hurried with their proposals for | reconciliation, explanations and de- | mobilization, as if to settle the world. The foreign secretary (Von Kuhl | mann), who incorporated the whole |tendency in his person, expressed | nimself as saying that the war could not be decided upon the battlefield |'This was true if one had in mind the war against the unfriendly home front and the support given by the political war machine to the carrying on of the war.

Provid ed with huge propaganda funds he entertained lavishly and hungry Ger man legislators, officials and leaders of socialist democrats flocked to his headquarters, Charges were printed that he had a large number of women to reinforce his efforts with thelr charms, He openly carried on plotting with the radical leaders and distributed great quantities of propa: | ganda. We soon recognized in what man ner Bolshevism worked. Innumer. able warnings were epoken. The | deputy general staff handed over to| | responsible quarters in Berlin a sup: | ply of material relating to the activ-| | ition of the Bolsheviks in Germany It was unfortunately not its place to follow up the matter further I myself again called the atten. tion of the imperial chancellor, the | foreign office and also the office of | the interior to the revolutionary | activities of the Russian embassy in | Berlin, with its numerous personnel | and its connection with the inde/ pendent social democracy, as well as | to the revolutionary tendency of the| | latter. Nothing was effected. | SHOCK PEOPLE AND ARMY | When I again potnted out to the foreign office’ the work of Herr Joffes and the dangers of his stay jin Berlin, I was answere@ that he wan better taken care of in Berlin} than elsewhere. There he was under| their eyes. But, alas, these eyes were | blind. | As long as Germany showed her self complainant to Bolshevism, Herr | Joftes was to shake the war ef |fictency of the German peopl | way that the ent in spite blockade and propaganda, | never have done With this object in view, he placed | rich materials at the disposal of the vente raive elemerits in our land. The} full extent of his revolutionary activ | ities was of course apparent only at| }a later date. In Magdeburg the leader of the independent social democrats, Vater, said: “Since January 25, 1918, we have systematically prepared the revolu- tion. We have incited our people who were going to the front to desert | the flag. These deserters we have| organized, supplied with false papers, | with money and unsigned pamphlets. We sent these men in every direc tion, especially agnin to the front, in| order that they might work among the soldiers there and undermine the| front. They have induced the sol- diers to surrender and #0 have brought about a gradual but sure decay.” SILENTLY AND AND INEXORABLY Side by side with this went the| revolutionary and Bolshevik influence of the men on leave, The rankest| propaganda was worked in railway trains.’ The soldiers who were going on leave were urged not to return! to the front; those who were on| their way to the front were appealed | to to assume a passive attitude or to desert the flag and to mutiny About the end of June and the be- ginning of July there was much that was still invisible but silently, in exorably working. Whether one was inclined to the left people's party, to the socialist or the Bolsheviks, there was a common endeavor to undermine authority for years this had been preparing Now in the time of the state's need| this came up to the surface, I will not speak of the ambitious members who now robbed our weak government of the last vestige of respect, nor even of how from every side there were those who endeavored to shake my position and trust in me because I represented the support of authority; I am thinking only of the organized work against the army officers, That was @ crime on the part of the democratic party and the major- ity socialist party; no, it was, to use lyrand, worse than| that—it @ blunder, A blunder | ena of such colossal weight and short. sightedness that nothing can hush it up.
