GERMANS OFFER SORRY PICTURE THESE LAST DAYS Manners and Morals Decline Mad Rush For Pleasure Goes On. BERLIN, Jan. 13.—1 t is a difficult task —the search for anew ideal in Germany today. Often one if tempted to give it up altogether. Social Germany presents a sorry picture. The industrial and economic ravages of the last seven years have not failed in their effects. In the luxurious holiday resorts one 's reminded of the ‘ Decline and Fall.” Here one can see how our civilzation will end if nothing is done to alter the present trend of events. Everything is a mad rush for pleasure. In places like Baden-Baden, called *‘le petite Paris,” you imagine you are at the Ascot races. Every afternoon the cases, restaurants and hotels are filled with elegantly dressed and bejewelled men and women. Long motor tours are undertaken, though the charge for a taxicab is 600 marks (at the pre-war rate of exchange $120) for an afternoon. In the evenings the hotels and “bars” and “Dieles” are filled with revellers, dancing and drinking. The latter is compulsory—in every

I public place there is “Wein-Zwang.” ; You are not admitted to any case wbati soever unless you undertake to consume ! wine or champagne. It is a useful source [ of profit for the case owner, and of profit for the state, i “OCR DISSOLUTE | SOCIETV. i The deterioration in manners aftd morals which results may be imagined. Those | Germans who care about their country speak sadly of “unsere velotterte Gassellschaft” (“our dissolute society"). In the public dancing halls in Berlin I chairs are removed and rugs and cushions take their place—the divans of old Rome. Girls can not be in the street : alone after dark. There is a mania for sex plays—WedeI kind, Schnltzler, Sudermann are played 1 in every large town, wbil9 the output of plays of less known dramatists on the same subject seems never-ending. At the same time the classical favorites are by no means neglected, and performances of Shaw, Wilde and Shakespeare, as well as modern and ancient German authors, are attended by enthusiastic and crowded houses. A great national festival is being prepared for Gernart Hauptmann's sixtieth birthday next year, and so great is German veneration for letters and art that this dramatist-poet is even spoken of as a possible future president of tbe republic. For the militarism we fought to eradicate in Germany we have substituted a possibly worse vice—materialism run mad. There is no conversation except of prices and exchanges. Middle classes and ;

workers (whose children would be long, dead were it not for the magnificent work of the “Quaker-Speisuug” in all the big centers, have to talk of the means of livelihood in order to make both ends meet; the rich divide their time between wondering how long they will be allowed to keep their wealth. It is not a . promising atmosphere fer the birth of a new Germany. Although among the upper classes and war profiteers expenditure is so extravagant, there are evidences of some forms of economy. No German travels first! class on the railways; very few second j class. The great majarlty travel third although the seats are not padded; and ] , some even find that another form of economy is hatlessness; in the most I elegant promenades in town and country, [ there is hardly a hat to be seen. | In the hotels practically everything in the way of food can be obtained. But i certain reminiscences of war remain. For ! instance, in the appearance of black j bread for breakfast—unless white rolls [ are specially ordreed at a mark apiece—in the badness of the butter—at 32 marks a pound—in the substitute coffee, and the scarcity of milk. KEEP FOOD IN' BEDROOMS. In even the biggest hotels it Is custo- ! maty for guests to keep food in their bedrooms to bring down to the dining : hall their own pots of butter or jam; and 1 It is a common sight to see them pocket- , lng the remains of breakfast or tea — i pats of butter, lumps of sugar, a cake, | a roll, and even black bread and paper < serviettes.
