It is bankrupt in more ways than the mere matter of an inability to make its income match its expenses. Other European nations arc bank rupt in that particular way—France and Italy, for instance. But Germany is bankrupt in hope .Hid endeavor. Jt is bankrupt in vim and zest of living. It is bankrupt of faith in the future. r The average Germany of today— the fellow like you and'me and Neighbor Smith—can hardly see a gleam of hope ahead. He is rid of his expensive kaiser and the ; other minor kings and grand dukes and princes. He is rid of a great ex pensive army und navy. Ho is rid of conscription. He has a republic instead of a monarchy. But nowhere does he see unity or peace or satis faction. Politically Germany is a house not only divided against itself, but many times sub-divided. There arc politicians who dream of the restoration of the monarchy. There are political parties which dyeam of Msbevism. Even the So cialists arh subdivided into various parties with their various represent, ntivos in the Reichstag. t Class consciousness has not been abolished. It | m s boon intensified. It is not now the proletariat against the aristocrat, but the worker against the war proliteer and, in another sense, the town dweller against the farmer. Everybody Hit If the Gorman is fairly well off, tho state takes much of his estate and of his income in taxes. If ho is u worker, it grabs 10 per cent of his wage. If he succeeds in getting his earnings increased, he finds that the cost of food, clothes and housing has more than kept pace with the extra money he has earned. He pays six times as much for his dally paper as before the war. It costs him eight times as much to ride in the street car. His food, coal, gas and rent have gone up from live to eight times. Ho earns, perhaps. 300 to 600 marks peg week, and the cheapest suit of clothes is $600 marks. Shoes cost from 90 marks up; shirts murks, socks 11 marks. His glass of beer which tastes to with itself.
