ASKS LETTS TO ORGANIZE.
C. A. Carol Calls on Them to Work for Free Government.
Declaring that only a few Letts favored Bolshevism, and that the Lettish nation has been misrepresented by German propaganda, Charles A. Carol, Secretary of the New York Lettish Society, yesterday asked all Letts to organize and work for the establishment of a free Lettish Government. The call to unite followed a meeting which, held by the Foreign Language Division of the Fourth Liberty Loan Committee for the purpose of thanking the Letts for supporting the loan, developed into a "freedom for Letts" movement.
"The Letts," said Mr. Carol, "are very much misunderstood in their national, political, and economic life. For centuries they ahve inhabited the provinces of Courland and Livland on the Baltic, with a growing population of more than 2,000,000, and they are almost without exception pure Letts, descendants of the Asiatics who brought the Sanskrit tongue with them from the Oriental continent. They have mixed very little with their neighbors, the Esthonians and the Lithuanians. For years the Letts have been the victims of the Hun oppressors."

Special Policeman in Newark Clubs Shell-Shock Victim.
The Newark police are searching for a man wearing the uniform of a special policeman who beat Private Clifford Robinson, a wounded marine, so severely that he had to be taken to the City Hospital for treatment. Witnesses said some men asked Robinson to accompany them to a saloon. At the door he was told to stop by the officer, but, being deaf from shell shock, he did not hear the command. The man wearing the officer's coat struck him over the head with a club and fled.
Robinson was taken to the City Hospital, and thence to the Naval Base Hospital, Brooklyn. He has served eighteen months in France as a member of the 5th Machine Gun Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 23d Company, and was severely wounded.

ASK FOR GERMAN COLONIES.
Negroes Want Land Captured in Africa Turned Over to Natives.
That the captured German colonies in Africa be turned over to the natives and that educated negroes be placed in leadership there, is one of the requests that the negroes of New York as represented by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, will make to this Government and to the Allies. These requests were contained in a resolution adopted at a meeting of 5,000 negroes in the Palace Casino in 135th Street, near Madison Avenue, yesterday.
The meeting was presided over by Marcus Garvey, head of the League and representative of the race made speeches. The resolution set forth that it would only be through the granting to the negro his rights and the rights of all weaker peoples at the Peace Conference that future wars would be obviated. It was also asked that negroes be permitted to travel and to reside in any part of the world; that they be permitted the same educational facilities as Europeans; that all segregative and proscriptive ordinances against negroes be repealed and that they be given political, industrial and social equality.

AUSTRALIA'S STAND CRITICISED BY CECIL
British Minister Says Premier Hughes Interprets Wilson's Points Extravagantly.
JUSTICE AT PEACE TABLE
May Require Compensation for Both Private Losses and Public Expenditures.
Copyright, 1918, by The New York Times Company.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
LONDON, Nov. 9.—Premier W. M. Hughes of Australia took issue today with three of President Wilson's fourteen points. He complained to The New York Times correspondent that the dominion had not been consulted before they were accepted by the Allies as the peace basis.
In the first place, he objected to the President's third clause, which, he argued, limits the rights of States to adopt a differential tariff. This, he maintained, would be a limitation of Australia's sovereignty which she could not accept. She had been fighting for the rights of small nations, and as a small nation she wanted her own.
Then Hughes asked why no provision had been made for Germany's indemnifying the allies for the cost of the war. Australia's own war debt was £300,000,000, and he could not see why she should be burdened with it when Germany would have exacted the heaviest indemnities possible if she had been victorious.
Finally Hughes declared that the handing over of Germany's pacific colonies in the neighborhood of Australia to her ought to have been specified. He pointed out that New Guinea was only eighty miles from Queensland, and asked how Americans would like such an excellent base for U-boats, airplanes, or ships to be in the hands of Germans so near their own doors.
Lord Robert Cecil was asked by The New York Times correspondent this afternoon for his view of the criticisms passed by Premier Hughes of Australia on three of President Wilson's fourteen points. With regard to Premier Hughes's contention that the President's stipulation concerning economic treaties was an infringement of Australia's national rights, Lord Robert said:
"It seems to me a most extravagant interpretation of the President's words; but putting that aside, any treaty between two nations may be construed as an abridgment of their national rights. All that the President lays down may be regarded as a gigantic economic treaty."
Asked about Premier Hughes's contention that Germany should be required, in addition to making reparation to Australian citizens for private injuries received at the hands of the enemy, to foot the bill for Australia's national expenditure in the war, Lord Robert said:
"That will be a matter for the Peace Conference, and some estimates of the injuries done to private interests are enormous, but if I understand the plain meaning of English, the Peace Conference will be at liberty to require compensation for both private losses and public expenditure. The only thing explicitly rules out is the imposition of any punitive fine."
Referring to Premier Hughes's complaint that the disposition of Germany's colonies in the Southern Pacific had not been included in the bond, Lord Robert referred to recent speeches of Premier Lloyd George and Mr. Balfour, and said that they should be sufficient.

"The number of prisoners taken in the course of the fighting which preceded the taking of Scutari by the Serbians on Oct. 30 was 4,000, of whom 120 were officers. Numerous cannon and war supplies were captured.
"North of Scutari, Pogoritza, and Nizsitch were occupied by the Serbians, aided by Montenegrins."

Socialist Chancellor Appeals to All Germans To Help Him Save Fatherland from Anarchy.
BERNE, Nov. 10, (Associated Press.)—In an address to the people, the new German Chancellor, Friedrich Ebert, says:
   Citizens: The ex-Chancellor, Prince Max of Baden, in agreement with all the Secretaries of State, has handed over to me the task of liquidating his affairs as Chancellor. I am on the point of forming a new Government in accord with the various parties, and will keep public opinion freely informed of the course of events.
   The new Government will be a Government of the people. It must make every effort to secure in the quickest possible time peace for the German people and consolidate the liberty which they have won.
   The new Government has taken charge of the administration, to preserve the German people from civil war and famine and to accomplish their legitimate claim to autonomy. The Government can solve this problem only if all the officials in town and country will help.
   I know it will be difficult for some to work with the new men who have taken charge of the empire, but I appeal to their love of the people. Lack of organization would in this heavy time mean anarchy in Germany and the surrender of the country to tremendous misery. Therefore, help your native country with fearless, indefatigable work for the future, every one at his post.
   I demand every one's support in the hard task awaiting us. You know how seriously the war has menaced the provisioning of the people, which is the first condition of the people's existence. The political transformation should not trouble the people. The food supply is the first duty of all, whether in town or country, and they should not embarrass, but raither aid, the production of food supplies and their transport to the towns.
   Food shortage signifies pillage and robbery, with great misery. The poorest will suffer the most, and the industrial worker will be affected hardest. All who illicitly lay hands on food supplies or other supplies of prime necessity or the means of transport necessary for their distribution will be guilty in the highest degree toward the community.
   I ask you immediately to leave the streets and remain orderly and calm.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 10.—The new Berlin Government, according to a Wolff Bureau dispatch, has issued the following proclamation:
   Fellow-Citizens: This day the people's deliverance has been fulfilled. The Social Democratic Party has undertaken to form a Government. It has invited the Independent Socialist Party to enter the Government with equal rights.

SAYS GERMANS ONLY YEARNED FOR PEACE
H. C. Emery, Who Was Detained in Germany, Arrives in This City.
BERLIN KNEW OF DEFEAT
Expected Abdication of Kaiser, He Declares, Meant Little to the People There.
Henry Crosby Emery, who was sent to Russia in 1916 by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, to write a series of articles on the economic conditions existing in that country and who was taken prisoner by the Germans on Aland Island last March as he was escaping to Sweden, arrived in this city yesterday on the Norwegian-American liner Bergensfjörd. He left later for his home near Boston.
Mr. Emery was only confined for six weeks at Danzig and was then taken to Berlin, where he was at large until Oct. 22, when he was permitted to leave Germany and go to Copenhagen. When asked to give his opinion as to what would be the effect of the abdication of the Kaiser in Berlin and the upsetting of the autocratic form of Government, Mr. Emery replied:
"When I left Berlin the German people had made up their minds that they were beaten and were glad to accept the terms laid down by President Wilson under his fourteen points. The abdication of the Kaiser was the gossip of the clubs and hotels and was expected to occur any day.
"It did not really matter much to people. All they cared for was to have peace. The intelligent people of Germany conceded that they would have to give up Alsace-Lorraine and a part of Eastern Poland, pay indemnities to Belgium as well as restore the country and considered it was just what was deserved. In regard to the Colonies I think their ideas were a little different.
"Conditions were quiet in Berlin when I left and the people were orderly and calmly awaiting the setting up of the new democratic government. What happens now will depend upon whether the Bolshevist element among the Socialists obtains control of the situation, but I am not in a position to discuss the political outlook, as the conditions have changed so quickly while I have been at sea. There is nothing left for the people to do except to accept President Wilson's terms of peace, and they were glad to do it at the time I came away."
Mrs. Emery was with her husband when he was captured on Aland Island while traveling on sleighs across the ice to Sweden, but the Germans allowed her to go free, and she arrived home in May. She met her husband on his arrival, and will return home with him.

SPEEDWAY RECORD GOES.
Lustrous McKinney Paces Half Mile in 1:00 1/2 in Race.
The fastest paced half-mile of the season for the Harlem Speedway was returned yesterday by M. S. Kearins's bay gelding, Lustrous McKinney, at the Road Drivers' Association seventh Fall matinee. The Kearins gelding, in winning the 1:05 pace, covered the half-mile in 1:00 1/2 in the second heat.
Opposed to Lustrous McKinney was Moe Aronson's Hal Direct, and J. F. Fisherty's Lillian W. In the initial heat the three animals got off on a line and raced to the quarter pole abreast. Then Hal Direct and Lustrous McKinney broke badly and Lillian W. won handily. Kearins, first to get his pacer under control, brought Lustrous McKinney home second. The time was 1:03.
Kearnins' gelding kept its stride throughout the second heat, but was forced hard by Lillian W., which was beaten only a length. In this heat Lustrous McKinney continued its good work in the third heat and won by more than a length from Hal Direct, in 1:03.
Silent Sister and Oakland Boy, Jr., indulged in a pacing duel at 1:10 which went to Silent Sister in three heats. The other three-heat victory was registered by Gene Carpenter's Bessie Baron in the 1:09 trot.
Lustrous McKinney's victory in the 1:05 page, placed it within one point of J. Leonard's Silent Sister for the year's pacing championship cup. Leonard's mare has 23 points while Lustrous McKinney has 22. Countess Kohl is third with 16. In the trotting division American Girl leads with 29 points and Kitty Justo has 25. L. Albano's Pavana is third with 19.

ROME HAILS KAISER'S FALL.
ROME, Nov. 9.—News of the German Emperor's abdication was received here with great satisfaction and is accepted as an indication that Germany will sign the armistice imposed by the Allies, which, it is contended, could not have been done so long as the Emperor remained in power.
A Deputy who has just returned from the liberated Italian provinces said today: "The German Emperor's abdication is a sign that Germany has at last awakened to the fact that she has been beaten on all fronts and that she has been deceived all along by the military party. The German people themselves have forced their idol to abdicate. That is the end of military autocracy and the birth of democracy in Germany."

SO HERE are you, and here am I,  Where we may thank our gods to be; Above the earth, beneath the sky,  Naked souls alive and free.

See with what pride the setting sun  Kinglike in gold and purple dies, And like a robe of rainbow spun Tinges the earth with shades divine.  That mystic light is in your eyes And ever in your heart will shine.
