The circular in part 1t as follows:
Flight on TO finish.
"The foes of the people are growing
ever bolder, ever more shameless. War
wastrels, war instigators, war prof.
teers, those to whom misery of the
people brings power and gain-sucll
wish no peace.
'Disfranchisement of the masses,
misery of the masses, state OF siege,
slaughter OF the people-this Is what
this government has brought upon us.
~Must we stand idle and see our
wives and children al.ine away; our
strength to labor-our only means OF
subsistence-grow less and less.
"they promise extra rations to save
themselve, from the wrath OF the peo-
pie, from u revolution like that in Rus-
sia. ..
''But no extra rations can be given
without consuming the seed potatoes
and the breeding cattle Should the
government decide upon this course,
millions Of the German proletariat
German women and children must face
hunger aed starvation in the coming
winter.
Promises Not Fulfilled.
For the government is in no posi-
ton to fulfill its promises except un-
der co9ditions which in the near future
we shall have to face with fear and
trembling. Fol- there are not enough
potatoes or catt,e in Germany to as-
sure the promised allowance for any
length of time. If it were now possible
to raise the ration OF the labor people
more plentifully it would have been n
crime without parallel to let them
starve. But Us a matter of fact the
instigators of the war are hiding the
truth from the people.
''It is their harvest of blood which is
crushing Germany, and their aims aye
for themselves alone.
but the immediate negotiation of
peace is the only rescue from the abyss
into which the government is huriing
the country.
But the government proceeds to
plunder the land. 1t wants no peace
which would be acceptable. to the so-
called 'enomy' countries. And if it
should fashion peace on terms accord
bring about Il peace according to those
terms, they would always be-as we
know only too well--in the interest OF
Militarism and Imperialism. of tie
juuker and capitalislic castes, and con
trary 10 the vital interests of the Ger
man proletariat.
La5ors Urgent Task.
"Such an ending of the war touches
each one OF us.
THUS the most urgent task of Ger
man labor is to force veace-just as
oar Russian brothers are now doing
the interests of the international pro-
letariat, that we have our own reace
and not that of the ilnperialists.
''There is only one means TO this
end, the strike of tine masses. This
strike of the masses must swell in the
cry of q million voices for peace, and
that cry will serve for kindling
spark in the barracks and in the
trenches; it will make men light on
sturdily to the end. 1t will bring
about an organization of the masses
which shall force peace and freedom.
Victory will be won by lighting and
by the strike OF the masses.''

Washington Letter

BY Edward Keating
Congressman from the third Colorad o
district.
When Oscar W. Underwood of
Alabama resigned as leader of
the Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives three
or four years ago and took his
place in the Senate of the United
States, he was succeeded in the
House by q small unassuming al
most shrinking. man named Geo.
Hudd!eston.
Filling the shoes Of a giant like
Underwood would have tested the
mettle ofshy man. and / think I
may say ssuw ethat most Of those
who made . superficial examin-
ation Of Huddleston felt he would
not msAzure up to the job. They
were wosfuily mistaken.
Huddleston is not an Under
wood, bat, by the same token.
Underwood is not a Huddleston.
Underwood is the polished,
masterful leader Of the conserva-
tives elements in the Democratic
party. Huddleston is progress
sive in thought and action. He
is an unusually a respective speak
er and he is possessed of the
superb courage which leads him
to champion any just cause wit :

PATRIOTS AND PRoFlTERs'
In the Congressional RECORD
of December 11th, he has a
speech on Patriots and Profi,ers
which is so good that l will make
the following extracts from it.
mo MAN SHOULD BE PER-
MITTED 70 COME OUT OF

WENT INTO IT. He should see
to it by proper price fixing and
the levy income taxes that this is
accomplished.
.' Would be shame il at the
end of sne war, when our soldiers
come back to US, we should be
compelled to confess that while
they were fighting and shedding
their blood for US we permitted
their loved ones to be sweated
and overcharged for food ard
clothes, and greedy profiteers to
practice extortion on the govern
ment. aud thereby create a grew
GUS public debt to burden the
shoulders of babes unborn and
many generations of their de-
scendants.
PROPERTY VERSUS MEN.
Il refuse to place property or
business upon higher ground
than men. II there be a moral
right to take men against their
will for wsr service. then proer-
/. " may also be taken. IF THERE
NAY BE CONSCRIPTION OF
MEN, THERE ALSO MAY BE
CONSUMPTION OF PROFITS,
'.if the situation justifies the
disruption Of homes and dragging
the son from the mothers arms,
and the husband from his wife

sibilities of profit makers are not
to be greatly regarded.

We think some. of the bills were

the people will agree with US
when they know that we have
had to pay for light bulbs and

Of which were secured by those
same autos that charged SIT to

they were not asked to sign the

say right here that a list be cir

bit, by giving freely of their time

Of Kit. Carson do not respond to
this, their moral duty. in asSum-
ing the obligation of seeing that
the band boys are reimbursed

though an unjust charge, it will
will be made up like the rest by
the people of Cheyenne Wells.
The facts are tn 1t Kit Carson and
vicinity had 8 boys in that cor
tingent and ought to pay in the
ratio of 3 to Z. If they assume
the amount yet due the Band
Boys 50 SO they will have paid in
the ratio of 8 to lS.
The writer of the article sue-
gests. that as the county was psy
ing other bills. why did they not
pay this one? Will say that the
county was under no obligation
to pay any bill. as it is only a
signer of the popular subscrip-
ton list. VIII IN the deGcir of the

county comm ssioDe they s: W

The article in the Herald leaves
the impression that since public
money was being used. it should
be used freely. There is no log
ical argument that we should
spend the public money any more
freely than we would our own,
except as such public money is
viewed, through the eyes of the
CRATER.

I'M YEAR NUMBERED 425

Figures compiled at the anti.tnber-
cuIosis bureau OF the board Of health
and made public today show that the
total Of deaths for the calendar year
1916 from the disease which that de-
partment is combating we're 425. This
Is an increase over the previous calen
dar year by 80.
Registered cases for 1916 we're 79S,
while Cor 1916 cases registered
amounted to S85. This comparison
shows how rapidly supervision OF
the disease BY the bureau is being ae-
complished. as more cases are being
put under care continually.
In 1914 the per cent OF registered
cases under supervision was 81; in
1915 Il was 47.6. and in 1916 623.
December showed an increase in
registered cases over the month pre-
yious, being, in fact, higher than any
other month except February Of 1916.
The December total was 113 for all
the islands. of which number 7s were
males and 40 were females. Deaths
In December were 80, evenly divided
among males and females. IA

HAWAII MUSIC

~ More than 100000 people will
hear real Hawaiian music on the
Chautauqua circuits :. of the United
States next year." said J. R. Ellison of
the Ellison-White Chautauquas, who
arrived in Honolulu yesterday on the
Matsonia. Ellison came here to Sc
cure q numDer of. musicians for the
Cbautauqua circuit next year.
We want real Hawaiian music on
our programs; anG will feature moth
ing but the best Hawaiian music.
Ragtime will not form a part of our
programs and weAdo not intend to
have Italian-Hawaiians, either Last
year one of the 6hautauquas had a
Hawaiian quintet as q feature, and it
proved so popular5that the Chautau-
lquas Of America asked me to come to
Hawaii to secure more companies
At least four fdifferent Chautau.
lqpas operating indifferent sections Of
the country wiz feature Hawaiian mu,
sic, and am making an effort to Sc.
cure these musicians in Honolulu. One
circuit viii cover 200 towns in the
Northwest. Another will play through
Minnesota and the Dakotas, and the
others will show through the Middle
West. We have only the best people
as a rule at the entertainments, and
believe that Hawaiian music on the
program viii do much for Hawaii. !"
Ellison has been IN conference with
Al. p Taylor. secretary OF the Hawaii
Promotion Committee, and Ernest
Kaai Last year Ellison paid a man
to lecture at the Chautauqua meet
ings on Hawaii following the Hawai-
ian orchestra. making Hawaiian
night of the program. 1t is his plan
to interest the. other managers in al
project Of having q lecturer talk on
Hawaii following the appearance of
the quintets. Ellison has a good word
for Fred T. Halton, San Francisco rep
resentative of the Hawaii Promotion
Committee, who 1ectured at the chau-

REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE
TO RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Drastic reg.
ulations adopted by the railroads are
now in effect with the APPROVAL of
the interstate commerce commission,
as emergency measures to relieve
shortage OF freight cars which for
months has been a brake on the coun-
try's commerce and affected the high
cost of living. The remedy is the
railroads own, proposed by the car
service commission of American rail-
way association and formally approved
by the federal commission. The
first regulation provides that con-
signee may have the usual two days
to unload car and that thereafter
demurrage shall be charged at the
rate of 81 for the first day, 81 for the.
second, S3 for the third and SIS for
the fourth and each succeeding day.
Heretofore the charge has been uni
formly 81 day and many consfgiees,
notably automobile concerns and coal
dealers, are declared to have been
glad to permit shipments to stand for
long periods because the penalty was
SO small that It compared fayerabiy
with warehouse charges.
Another order increases the daily
rental paid by railroads to each other
for cars from IS to Is cents per car
or about 70t per cent. Some eastern
roads are said to have from 5000
to 10000 foreign cars of single type.
The order is expected to make serious
difficulties for small roads which new
er have had sufficient equipment Of
their own. ,
The Use in price of coal is attribut-
ed almost wholly to the car shortage
aided by the alleged activities of spec
ulators.
In respect to foodstuffs the same
situation is said to. have applied, al
though It had been less acute. Re
cent orders Of the commission which
provide that receiving roads shall re-
turn box cars and refrigerating cars
without delay to the owning lines are
said to ne showing effect now.
Further consideration of the prob
lens presented by the shortage Of
cars is the subject of q conference
here of officials Of eastern roads.
