f CHARLOTTE SUNDAY OBSERVER. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1917", 1EPM1T .1" OBLITERATED ough Great Bulk of German People Is Behind Chancellor. "jnericans Just From That Em pire Say Thora Is No Danger of Serious Internal Trouble. ti1. e f,-tni1 rah. 17. Via Fariar (From a sUI correspondent of jthe Associated Frees.) American who haT com to Switzerland from Germany since the break between Berlin and Washington assert that the German public today present a solid front Any danger of serious Internal disturbances such as hinted In pub lication outside of Germany, la re garded as beins; as remote as it was many months ago. Nevertheless, the stats of public opinion has become a pressing problem. From these Americana, the following-Information has been obtained: The attitude of the German people became mora of a problem when the break -with America occurred, be cause the break followed so closely on the heels of the widespread peaoe talk, eomlng at a time wnen uw yearning for cessation of hostilities hadi lately received such enormous Impetus. There exists la Germany a cynical, though not disloyal minority, which frankly believes the peace offer was not ' mad i in the expectation that peaoe could be brought about, but to hearten. a large but only potentially dangerous stratum of the population which Is tired of war. This action has .been antagonised by the nnst lenceeble and uncontrollable pan German element which ha clamored for the annexation of everything thus far conquered. Although unorgan ised this stratum is very extensive. It has taken the attitude that the war and the causes thereof are none of its affair, and that annexation would be of doubtful value. This ele ment longs with Increasing anxiety for peace. Wish Co End It AIL The growing opinion that Germany cannot hope to obtain all that is de sired by the extremists, and the pas sionate desire to have It all over with on any reasonable basis, have brought Into being a more or less powerful peace party. The cynics argue that the Government, recognising the ex- lstenoe of this faction, decided on a moderate peace offer, which, if ac cepted, would please the peaoe advo- eating the pen-Germans; while If re-1 jeeteav,tne result wouia oe oninwuos of the people. Whether the cynics were right or , wrong as to -the , Government's mo ' ttves, the peace move brought about unification to a degree probably be- - yond the utmost hoped for. The Ger man people today are united as at no other time since August, 1114. They have the utmost faith that- the sub marine will fores England to her - knees. They are permeated with the conviction that "unnet tral" America has already done everything possible - iJaiureGermany, that tt le no to be feared economically any more than heretofore and that In a military sense it does not count The Ger I mans are united in the belief that ' the Entente Intends to dismember their Nation, and consequently are . determined to fight with the utmost energy and with every weapon, , I The neace nartv. however, is only submerged, not entirely obliterated, and the break with America has not removed any of the differences of opinion. - The great bulk of the peo ple, however, is still back of the. Chancellor, and even under the new conditions would be perfectly satisfied with a solution on the basis of the status quo, caring little or nothing whether Germany obtains Belgium, Poland or Lithuania. Desire Honorable Peace. An honorable and dignified peace is desired. As long as the Entente In tends to impose terms regarded by the German people as equivalent to dismemberment, they will resist uni tedly, but the American observers say, there would be the threat 01 a serious rift if an opportunity for a reasonable peace should present Itself and not be accepted. It is the estimate of conservative Germans, these Americans say, that the Government would have been un seated had the decision to resume unrestricted submarine warfare really represented a triumph for the pan German element Attention is directed also by these Americans to another phase of the problems having to do with German public opinion which Is presented by the relations with the Empire's Al llea Though Germany has .heralded persistently the cordiality and indis solubility of these relations, tt has been an open secret for a long time that Austria, in particular. Is bitterly jealous of Germany on the xme hand, and that Germany has had to exert strong Influence at times to keep the Dual Monarchy in line. Austrians had never felt the great need that enr.an has experienced almt from the beginning, and has never ac quiesced gracefully in measures pre scribed by Germany as absolutely essential pr n'pnripr m .11.
