Keating of Northampton, England, Refuses to ‘Diagnose Case’ for Archbishop Glennon. ADDRESSES CATHOLIC WOMEN’S LEAGUE St. Louis Prelate Says We Should Have Same Men to Make Our Peace Who Did Our Fighting. The Rt. Rev. Frederic William Keating, Bishop of Northampton, England, last night refused to ‘‘skate over the thin ice’—a discussion of America’s democracy—prepared for him by Archbishop Glennon in his introduction to the St. Louis Women’s Catholic League at the New Cathedral Auditorium. “Do the people over there under- stand our democracy?” the Arch- bishop questioned. ‘‘Russia does not.

By ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York World. (Copyright, 1918, by Press Pub. Co.) BERLIN, vio Copenhagen, Nov. °3.—Teh strongest impression one gets on coming into Germany is that the country lives in the expectation of certain famine unless its former enemies come to its aid. The traveler rides in heatless and lightless trains which creak painful- ly because of a lack of axle grease. He passes through station after sta- tion withofit a mouthful of food. He thought here is that in time of peace complete freedom of the seas already | finds hardly the substitute coffee, which itself is disgusting and must be taken without milk or sugar. Entering Berlin, he finds muddy and shabby street cars, with occa- sional loungers in vast, empty. cafes. Almost the only street traffic con- sists of soldiers heading homeward, too worn to feel any joy over the home-coming. All this gives an impression of prolonged misery such as I have not seen during the war. Even in Rus- sia, except for the organized starva- tion of the Bourgeoise, there is no such misery. Plainly Germany has reached the absolute Iimit and lies now exhausted. The people generally are too worn to celebrate anything. They want simply to go home, eat and recever. I came to Germany expecting te find a survival of cockiness in at leant a few individuals, but though I walked the streets talking English ani French, few took netice and none cared.
