THE NEW GERMANY.

KOSEE INTERVIEWED.

BENT ON A CONCELIATORT COURSE.,

Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Received November 23, 9.55 a.m. NEW YORK, November 19.

The New York Times’ Berlin correspondent interviewed Noske, who said: “Nothing would strengthen our Government more than if the Entente would show that we might obtain a mitigation of peace conditions. The new Germany intends winning a position without the use of cannons, but by honest work. The Americans, after helping to destroy us, are now watching proceedings with their hands in their pockets. I believe we would overtop them if allowed to continue with the present forces under my command until April Ist. A preliminary condition would be that France should not invade Germany. What is needed is an exchange of views between foreign statesmen and ourselves. Our political life has undergone a complete change. Germany is governed by decent, honest Democrats. We are bent on a straightforward, conciliatory course.’*

HINDENBURG DEMONSTRATIONS. A CRISIS FEARED. Booedred November 22, 10,6 oa.m. BERLIN, November 19. A Berlin correspondent stresses the importance of the Hindenburg demonstrations, which have seized the popular imagination, particularly of young soldiers, students, and the whole of the rising generation. The movement is being skilfully fanned by professional and scholastic castes, officers, and the military and monarchist party. There is pksity of combustible material ready to take fire at any time. The only question is whether the wire-pullers consider the present moment appropriate for action, In any case events may precipitate a crisis.
