KAISERLINGS TOO DIB TO ROLE IN GERMANY NOW Royal Kinsman Believes Republican Government Here to Stay, Ry CARI, D. GROAT. Copriyht By Cniied Press BERLIN, Dec. 30. —General Baron von grhoenaioh, Kaiserin Tlermine's kinsman, believes that the monarchy will never be restored in Germany. V era use the princelings of the twen-ty-two former ruling families are more or less a dumb lot. Genera! von Schoenaieh, inter - \ jewed by the United Press, couched his opinion in somewhat milder lanpuage. but nevertheless made it quite emphatic that he did not os teem highly the brains of the royal offspring. "I believe.” he said, "that the restoration Os the monarchy in Germany would be frustrated, if for no other reason, solely from the fact that the princely families do not possess a single head of more than middle greatness.’’ leader Boycotted Schoenaieh. leader of the new re publican defense organization in Germany "Republic Banner Schwarz—Hot Gold." revealed that the old officers of the Kaiser regime have put a formal social boycott on him, and that he has on more than one occasion received threatening letters because he is an out-and out republican. He believes thoroughly that the republic will stand. But he made it plain that foreign nations have it In their power to make or mar the republic. If the present conciliatory spirit toward Germany will be maintained, then the republic will stand, in the opinion of General von Schoenaieh. ”1 regard,” he/said, “the English monrchical form good, and I belie\ that, if our old monarchical constitution had developed organically up to the form of the Knglish. our former monarch® would still be sitting on their thrones. Prevented Development "Our monareho, however, always prevented this development and thu3 they themselves buried the tnon- ( archy. "Then these twenty-two monarch® abandoned their thrones without a fight In the hour of Germany's greatest need. In my opinion, the monarchical Idea in Germany was thereby so discredited that only the democratic republic could come as the state form. I became a Republican purely through sober reflection. “The only thing which permitted the idea of re-introduction of the monarchy in Germany to flourish is the fact that the republic hitherto was unable to obtain in international negotiations a modification of the severities of th eVersailles treaty. "The republic itself, however, contributed to this situation by committing the mistake of allowing monarchistlc. employes without distinction to remain in office. Some Want Republic "The monarchistlc idea in Ger \ many is nourished by those strong economic groups who believe that a monarchy would treat them, in the matter of taxes, better than does the republic. “It may be remarked in passing, however, that the republic hitherto has treated three circles with velvet gloves while at the same time it permitted workmen to suffer. "At the beginning of this year, the public was in danger of being overthrown, through the so-called ‘fatherlandlsh circles.’ "The ‘Reichsbanner Schwart z-Rot-Gold.' which today constitutes a power compelling respect, dissipated this danger at the last moment. This danger, I must point out, could arise Knew if Germany does not now succeed in putting its business into full swing, since the monarchistlc agitators understand very skilfully how to exploit the necessities of the people. Every political and economic success of the democratic republic is a blow for the fasclsti. The foreign countries therefore have it in their power to strengthen the German republic inwardly." Banned by Comrades T asked him what his personal experiences have been with his former comrades as result of his open espousal of the republic cause. "My old comrades declared a ban against me when I began fighting puhlically for democracy and pacifism. Naturally, I did not let this influence me and I have only fought tbe harder since then. I have some times received threatening fetters: the newspapers of the right side take sometimes occasion to be mwdyish, but this leaves me quite cold. I always think of the old proverb 'whoever curses is wrong.’ ” Burglars Ransack Home While Walter Rosenthal. 3041 N.
