GERMANY FROM

WITHIN

WORKSHOP SPIES & BRUTAL N.C.O.s

PARIS.

Important and reliable evidence of the true state of mind of Germany is furnished by the publication in Parls of the first war-time edition of the "Deutschlandberichte," Or "Reports from Germany.”

These reperis are compiled by the banned German Social Democratic party, which has for years maintained underground connections inside Ger- many with correspondents in various social strata, though mainly among the working, population,

The trained observers, who pursue no propagandist purpose, unless the reconstruction of their own democra the party may be no described, give a sober and balanced picture, unting- ed by any sensationailsm.

They repeatedly warn their readers agalust accepting the accounts in cer- tain

that newspapers suggesting Germany is already at the end of her tether. They point to the unbroken strength of the political and 'pollee machinery,

Dec! that the strength of the regime Will be shaken." There is, however, a good deal of "grousing."

Though the soldiers say that their food is a good deal better than any working family can manage to ob- tain, they complain about brutal treatment by N.C.O... Ofcers show somewhat more consideration to the men.

Listening-In Despite Ban

Despite the efforts of the police, the broadcasts in German from foreign stations are widely received. It is easy to explalu such reception as due to a mistake, since the German station sending in English may, especially on the short wave, be next to an English or French station sending in German, and if caught the listener can always plausibly plead that he was honestly trying to find out which was which. As might be expected, Nazi party members profess" great confidence, but even they share the tendency to consider the main problem of life at the moment to be that of obtaining sufficient nourishment for themselver and their families.

Scenes which had become cormon In Germany towards the end of the Great War are already being enseted now. In particular.
