It is bankrupt in more ways than the mere matter of an inability to make its Income matgh Its expeases,, Other European nations are bank rupt in that particular way—France jand Italy, for instance. But Germany is bankrupt in hope and endeavor. It is bankrupt in vim jand zest of living. It is bankrupt of faith in the future, AVERAGE GERMAN CANNOT SEE CE The average German of today—the fellow like you and me and Neighbor Smith—can hardly see a gleam of hope ahead. He is rid of his expen sive kaiser, and the other minor kings and grand ‘dukes and princes. He is rid of a great expensive army and navy. He is rid of conscription. He has @ republic instead of a mon- archy. But nowhere does he see unity or peace or satisfaction. Politically Germany is a house not | only divided against itself, but many times subdivided. There are politicians who dream of the restoration of the monarchy. There are political parties which am of bolshevism.
