The German Socialist and the
American "DeazHOcrat"-
DR.. Liebknecht and DIR. Bryan
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE


Bryan is openly accused of having done
that very thing, and the evidence against him
is strong.
You will remember that the Swiss Minister,
DIR. Ritter, made a written representation to
Secretary Lansing to that effect that he Rit-
ter, was authorized by the German govern
ment to negotiate with our Government. in
the matter of safe guarding our rights on the
seas
Mr.. Lansing declined to negotiate, unless
Germany would first recall her note appriat-
ing the oceans to her own exclusive use.
Then, there came from Berlin an official
statement, that DR.. Ritter had never been au-
thOrlZed to communicate with-our Govern
ment; and the subsequent revelations showed
that Bryan-in collision with the head men
of the American-German propaganda-had
been at the bottom of this astounding bust
ness.
1t Wilson and Lansing had gone to parley
ing with Ritter, there is no telling what depths
of humiliation we might have sounded.
Fortunately, Wilson had fully realized how
weary the whole country is of interminable
underwriting, and of purposeless shilly-shally-
ing; and, for once, the Professor stood pot
This blocked Bryan's plot, and exposed Will
liam J.
Suppose a Prominent German, in Berlin,
i1ao n001A oauSlLC praying tLlt ooIC OIL game on
the Imperial Government, how long do you
reckon that traitor would have lived?
There is a yellow streak in Bryan, bigger
than fence-rail.
His craving for money, united with his
mania for publicity, and his inordinate amb-
ton to become President, have put enough
crimps in his career to ruin any man who
didn't possess talent for defamation and
fine histrionic gift.
The talent for defamation, causes many
thoughtless people to take him for an orator;
and his histrionic gift enables him to appear
we'll on the STAGE as Model Christian, Il
Just Man made Perfect, an Exemplar of all
the Virtues
His actual career shows that he hasn't been
true to any principle. or cause, or any leader
He passes as a Democrat. but is now and
always has been, Bryanite-nothing else.

That's the subject of debate.

the Lord

: That an easy way to win debate, isn't it?
The other booklet of Brother Love is
bordered handsomely in brown-a rich golden
brown-wlth a centre-piece which looks like
an open Bible resting on a $50 gold piece.
The tract begins with the following
unctious paragraph:
The Christian who loves his Savior than
he loves money, and yet must have money to live
on, can give his money to the Foreign Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist Convention and
still live it. Those who want the Board to
have their money at their death transfer it
to the Board now and receive an income from it
while they live The Board will pay dividends
regularly as any bank trust company. The
plan by which the Board thus receives money and
pays dividends on it is called The Annuity Plan.
This is one of the oldest methods Of investment
known to the world of finance. and it is perhaps
the most satisfactory way Christian make
disposition of his property. According to this
Plan the Board receives money sound legal
basis, executing what is called Annuity Bond.
upon which the holder draws interest annually,
semi-annually, or quarterly, as preferred, the
rate of interest being determined by the age of
the investor according to the following scale:
Now, if you don't get right up, on your
hind legs and make over to the Board what
ever little trash the Lord has blessed you
with, it will prove that you love your money
more than you love your Savior.
Isn't that the way Bro. Love puts it?
He makes it plain to you, that he has
adopted feasible and attractive plan by
which you can part with your cake, and still
have it to live on.
You donate the cake to the Board, and the
Board will see to it that you forever after
have bellyful of cake.
DR.. Love goes on to say that the Foreign
Board is not only "a Christian agency" but
lit is also in reality safe financial institu-
ton"
Yes, it is; and it hasn't been y months
since it was roaring like all the bulls Of
Bashau, because it was soaked by the cOnse-
Grated, unselfsh martyrs in the foreign fields,
to the extent of $4,000!
DR.. Love says that the Board pays higher
interest on its annuity bonds ethan that which
is realized on ordinary stocks and bonds in
which men and women are accustomed to in
vest their money"
Can you fancy Peter at Antioch, James at
Jerusalem and Paul at Rome incorporating
for million dollars, and issuing interest
bearing bonds?

EASTERN RAILROADS SAY
 THEY NEED ANOTHER RATE
 INCREASE OF 15 PER CENT.
Allege It Is Necessary to Meet the Increased Cost of Operation Due to Labor Advances and Higher Cost of Materials, Including Coal and Coke.

Washington, Dec. 12-Eastern rail- roads this fall renewed their re- quest for a fifteen per cent. advance in freight rates partially to cover the large deficit in net earnings they said they would face at the end of this year because of the high cost of ma terial and labor. It was estimated the increase would net about $5S,oo,- 900 but, at the last hearing, railroad representatives said this would pro vide for only about one-third of the shortage in revenue and, whether or not the increase was granted, they would ask for another fifteen per cent. in class rates and an increase in coal and coke rates.
 Whether the increase asked would solve the difficulties the railroads maintained beset them and which was admitted by representatives of some shippers, was questioned. Frank A. Vanderlip,> New York banker. testified that 1t would not. Samuel Req, president of the Pennsylvania, stated that the roads not only should have the increase but that congress should provide that the government loan them money at per cent.
 On June 29, 1917, the commission declined a request for a horizontal increase of fifteen per cent. maintain

NIGHT { ATTACKS MADE
 WITH SUCCESS

Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Monday, Dec. 1O-A brilliant night adventure was executed last midnight by the Third battalion of the 226th Arezzo brigade in com pletely relieving a threatened Italian position on the lower Piave river. Most of this section is protected by inundation but the Austro-Hungar- ians early yesterday succeeded in oc. cupying a small bridge head at Capo Sile, few miles below Dona Piaye, The chief danger of this was that it led to the Sile canal running to Port Grande with Venice a short distance beyond.
 The Arezzo brigade, therefore, was ordered to clear out the enemy's bridge head. A. 2 o'clock this morn. ing the Third battalion threw out a reconnaissance party which, on re. turning, reported the Austrian camr asleep around the bridge head The enemy camp was taken completely by surprise and could make no effective resistance.
 The fight in the darkness was shor- and terrible. What enemy troop. were not bayonetted and killed wer. taken prisoner and the last vestige o the bridge and bridge head were de stroyed.
 The result of the operation is tha | the only point seriously menaced o1 the lower Piave has been made solid

crease of 14 per cent. on certain class rates was granted. This, it was es- timated, resulted in an increase of about five per cent. in the gross rev. enues. The commission estimated then that the net operating revenues of the thirty-eight systems involved would be approximately $215. .00O, 1000 in 1917. In asking for a rehearing the railroads stated that conditions had 50 radically changod after the decision as to make additional rev. enue an immediate necessity.
 Clifford Thorne, leading counsel for the shippers. met the railroad argu- ment with the statement that during the first nine monhs of 1917, the net operating revenues of the lines was $60, 900, 900 greater than the com mission had estimated for the entire year. This alone, he stated, should influence the commission against add ing burdens to many businesses af- fected during the war by the same ad- versailles that prompted the railroads to seek more revenue.
 Much was said during the last hear ing of the effect on finances by lack of public confidence in railroad se- curities. Paul M. Warburg, vice governor of the Federal Reserve Board. called by the commission on its own initiative to give his view of the situation, stated that the increase should be granted if for no other req
