HOPKINS FLAWS HUNGRY
BOSSES.

Albert J. Hopkins. the fearless for.
mer Senator from Illinois, called on
the three ex.governors and would.be
leaders who were present at the big
Republican banquet at Bloomington,
to get out of politics. Ex.Gov. Fifer
was there and said he wanted to run
again. Ex.Gov. Yates, who holds q
fat job under the Democrats at pres.
ent. howled about conditions. Elk.
Gov. Deneen hoped on Yates. He
referred to the fact that certain Re.
publicans Of prominence are on the
state pay roll by appointment Of a
Democratic Governor, and that the
need of paying for high class Repub.
lican jobholders might be responsible
for the high tax rate Of the Demo.
cratic administration. He kept away
from the suggestion there should be
an abdication Of the present CONTROL.
ing forces in the Republican state or.
ganization.
After that came former Senator
Albert J. Hopkins. He spared no
words. He pointed up and down the
table TANNED with distinguished for.
mer officials and present officials.
congressman and legislators OF every
hue Of fractional alignment.

thing thoroughly and clearly" lie
said. There Is to be no peace In the
Illinois Republican party until all OF
you gentlemen step down and out. y
The Yates speech had been accept
ed in more or less pleasant spirit
by the political leaders, but the at
tack from Mr.. Hopkins was a bomb
shell. 1t caused commotion which
was not softened by John Maynard
Harlan. He, too. said he believed
there should be large addition tc

GERMANS RESENT
STARVING CHARGE
Charge U. S. Officials Seek to
Create Such Impression on
Minds of Americans.

Washington. ID C. Oct. 23.-German
officials here charge that the state de-
partment is seeking to create an I'M
preston in the minds of the American
public that Germany is purposely
starving the Belgians.
That the German government and
commanders OF the army in Belgium
are trying TO do everything in their
power to alleviate suffering among
the Belgian people. and that the army
is even sharing its ratiOns with desti-
tute Belgians is declared by the Ger
mans TO be an incontrovertible fact.
Statements in London dispatches
that the lack of food in Belgium is
due TO the Communicating of all food
supplies by the Germans for the use
of the army are pronounced false at
the German embassy. The action OF
the state department in giving out
statements and dispatches of seem
ingly corroborative nature is resented
by the German officials.
The facts are. according to embassy
officials, that Great Britain is entirely
TO blame for whatever distress there
may be among the Belgians on ac-
count of shortage of food supplies.
II Is pointed out that 1t has been
officially announced in Great Britain
that several shiploads of provisions
destined for Belgium and consigned to
Antwerp and coast cities had been
captured by British warships and had
been transferred to England cached
there or confiscated-
Another thing which the German Of
fcials resent is the intimation that
has come from the state department
that IL was necessary TO secure agree
ment from Germany not to molest
any food supplies which might be sent
from England for distribution among
the Belgians.
The only agreement that was nee
essary, IL is asserted, was with Eng
land, TO release the supplies which IL
was Withholding Illegally from its
friend and ally, Belgium.
