GERMANY'S MAN."

HERR NOSKE'S POLICY.

FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH'S "

CORRESPONDENT.]; »

BERLIN, September 29th. There can be little doubt that in Gustav Nonke the German revolution bus found a man. Not a genius, it is true, nor an intellectual luminary of parti cular brilliance, but, at any rate, a virile personality, with a sharp, shrewd sense to read aright the lessons of life, and honesty, courage, and energy to apply them without faltering or equivocation. With the exception of Erzberger, no one has been more bitterly attacked. Others have said that, meaning well and without himself suspecting it, he become nothing better than a tool in the hands of wrists- cratic officers, on whom, he was partially dependent for the execution of his policy. But no one bas seriously challenged his. sincerity. And despite all attacks, be has gone calmly on his way, acting with instant and trenchace vigour where it was necessary, but avoiding precipitation when time permitted of evolutionary treatment of the problem, before him, His avowed policy, the sincerity of which there is as yet no sufficient reason to doubt, is to build up for the new army a corps of officers faithful to the "Vor- atitution. This he seeks to do by the gradual and careful elimination of those of definitely counter-revolutionary, ten- dencies. But at the samt time, he ex- tends wide indulgence even to, demon strations of a pronouncedly monarchical character if they have not an .** official " character, or proceed from officers whes" readiness in barking is not accumpanied by any capacity to bite.

The campaign against the Minister of Defence recently culminated in a con centrated offensive, in connection with the Reinhard case."" Colonel Reinhard played a prominent part in the suppres sign of the Spartacists risings, and bas been one of the chief executive weapons of Noske's policy. A week or two ago, however, it was credibly reported of him that in private conversation be had described the present Government as a "mob" Erzberger as # "good for no thing. and the colours of the German Republic as a Jew Bag." Reinhard himsele did not explicitly deny these phrases, and there" seems no doubt that be actually made use of them. Noshe' opponents, of course, urged that the Gev. ernment could not possibly continue to employ a man who spoke in this way of itself, of one of its most prominent men

This declaration was made on Sept 19th, but if was only published this morning, simultaneously with a speech in which Herr Noske defended his action before a large meeting of Deputies of Berlin, Majority Socialists, and from them a unanimous vote of confu ence. In ita blunt colloquialism and the fearless frankness with which, it castigat- ed the sins of the revolution this speech pis very characteristic of the man He said that his agents had reported to him that Reinhard had carried on no Monar chist propaganda among the troops, and that nowhere did such conditions of con Adence between the leaders and men exist as in the brigade of this officer. It was true that persistent attempts were made to infinence soldiers in the Monarchical sense, just on the Independent Commu- pists every day tried to get at the sold iers. But the right of propaganda' effet- ed, and could not be forbidden. It was the business of the Majority Socialista to meet it with counter-propaganda They already had the Enest freedoms un paper, and to convert them into actual realities was the business not of the Gov ernment, but of the people itself. Of their revolutionary attainments nothing would be lost but what they themselves sacrificed by the clumsiness with which they racketed about in the economic life of the country like a bull in a china shop." Many of them had degraded the revolution to a pure wages movement, but he was sure that their hands would come down promptly to the seams of their trousers the moment they felt the fist of reaction on their necks." The German revolution "would have beer un- imaginably grand and beautiful "i-the great masses had really had a social and socialistic feeling, instead of wanting to get as much out of it for themselves as they could." For hundreds and hun? dreds of thousands. the revolution had only been an opportunity for plunder. Men who had never opened their mouths so long as the trenches threatened them' had, since the revolution, practised, in the factories terrorism, dishonesty, and 4 violation of the opinions of others which surpassed a thousand-fold the worst sina of their former rulers.?? -
