PARIS, France, Nov. 17.-Said
an army officer just arrived in
France from America:
ut seems almost impossible to
arouse our people to a realization
that they are In great war.
Well have to have casualty lists
first"
The French people don't need
casualty lists to remind them.
Every hour of the day War is i'm
pressed on them-whenever they
eat, sleep, talk, travel, or seek
amusement.
And what goes for the French
also goes for the thousands of
Americans now in France.
You arrive at a hotel and, nat
urally, the clerk tries to induce
you to take u room with a bath,
If he has any such luxury to offer.
Pretty soon you come down to
the office, storming.
There's no hot water In that
po'h, Nou NolnVldtH.
He shrugs his shoulders and
smiles. You want to choke him.

have hot water only on Saturdays
and Sundays. We must be eco
nomical with our coal, you know"
"C'est la guerre"--"It is the
wars almost a national motto
over here. No matter what the
trouble Is, blame 1t on the war.
Tuesday Is Black Day
You go into the dining room
with a ravenous appetite, figuring
on nice, juicy steak with French
fried potatoes, etc. (You know
the kind war correspondents eat
who have liberal expense ac-
counts.)
But there is no meat.
The waiter is grieved because
you've forgotten il is Monday.
ut S prohibited to eat
meat on Mondays and Tues
days, monsieur" he says.
You soon find that Tuesday
Is the black day for eating.
On Tuesdays you can neither
eat meat nor pastry. Pastry is al
so forbidden on Wednesdays.
About 40 per cent of the people
in Paris eat their meals in res
taurants, and these restrictions on
meats and pastries have resulted
in enormous savings of food sup
plies.

GERMANY BEGINNING
TO FEEL u. s. IN WAR

buttons which said:
FILLED with contempt, our citi-
zens turn aside from the shame
less hypocrite (Wilson) who seeks
to hide behind high-sounding
idealism his anxiety about the
blood money which he has ad-
vanced to his English colleague.
The President is referred to as
the crafty hypocrite who with
the simple impudence of an un-
educated parvenu has the inso-
lence to interfere in our domestic
affairs"
The Rheinische Westphaliscle
Zeitung, munition makers organ,
says the Presidents note exhibits
colossal arrogance and insolencc.
The Kolische Zeitung. the
Frankfurter Zeitung, the Deutsche
Tageszeitung and the Berlin Lo-
kal Anzeiger, to mention just a
few, all parrot-like proclaim that
Wilson is insolent and that the
German people love their kaiser.
The solitary exception is
Rudolf Kommcr, formerly
American correspondent Of
the Frankfurter Zeitung. He
warns his countrymen that
the President has the-majOr-
ity of the people behind him
and admits American prepa-
ratiOns look menacing for
Germany.
Next to abuse of the President
comes ridicule of our army and
navy. Admiral Won Tirpitz, chief
advocate of submarine frightful-
ness. in an interview in Budapest,
characterized America military
help in the war as phantom. ="
The Leipzinger Neueste Mach
richten said "the American regu-
lars resembled Falstaff's guards. !"
The Weser Zeitung ridicules the
statement that $4,000 American
troops have already arrived In
France and that later a million
are coming.
Capt. Persius, we'll known naval
critic, in Berliner Tageblatt tells
his readers that American navy
cannot do what the allied fleets
failed to accomplish.
Admiral Tirpitz recently said
submarine warfare was Germany's
legal right. and that Belgium had
received her just deserts. He fur
Their declared peace without a
heavy war indemnity meant Ger
many's defeat.
With an eye to future attacks
upon America, Emil Zimmerman,
in the Vossiche Zeitung, demands
great colonial empire in Central
Africa, which would be the nat
ural ally of the Latin South and
Central American states.
Prof. Hans Meye, in Deutsche
Politik, wants Germany to grab
all of Portugars African colonies
and her islands in the Atlantic as
links to the Panama canal and
America.

Especial to The Tfmes.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. H.
During the past two months the
governing powers of Germany and
the servile Prussian press have
suddenly awakened to the fact
that the United States is really
preparing to make its force felt
In the world war.
This, and the smashing indict-
ment of the Hohenzollerns written
by President Wilson in his reply
to the pope's last peace proposal.
have caused all Germany to talk
more of America than of Russia
or of peace.
The empire has rung with new
: hymn Of hate, In which we have
been the ones they want Colt to
Btrafe. The hymn contains four
sections:
Violent abuse OF Presi-
dent Wilson.
&Ridicule for our army
and navy.
8-Anxious discussion OF
the indemnity they would like
to exact from us.
4-Eagerness to get new
territory from which they can
menace us in the future.
Immediately after the Presi-
dents note to the Pope, all kinds
of organizations passed resolu-
lions denouncing Wilson. These
formal declarations were sent to
the inner circle of the empire.
For instance, the painters of
Berlin sent such telegram to
Kaiser Wilhelm, and he replied
thanking them for their loyal
pledge regarding the attempt to
seduce the German people into u
breach Of faith against their
kaiser and the empire"
The crown prince proved him
self an apt "Me-Too" by thanking
the Hamburg chamber of COM
merce for "the refreshing candor
with which the presumption of the
American President was deserved
ly declined"
Old Gen. Hindenburg did more
Hgntlng with MS pen than with
his sword. He gave out a mes
sage assuring Germans that they
had placed themselves firmly be-
hind the kaiser as an answer to
the "presumptuous words" of
Wilson.
Count Hertling, now chancellor,
In an address to the Bavarian diet,
attacked Wilson, saying: what
makes his note insufferable and
must challenge the sharpest pro-
tests are his villification and in
suits heaped upon the imperial
government, as we'll as the trans
parent effort to SOW dissatisfac-
ton between the government and
the German people,"
The town council of Potsdam,
where is located the main resi-
dence of the kaiser, passed reso-

Dollar Grows Less Every Day

IF | represent any class" con-
|tinued Mr.. Babson, 1T is the con-
Isumers. There are more than 100
million of us In this country, and
we are all trying to pull our
selves up by our bootstraps.
statistics show that the dollar
today is worth only two-thirds of
what 1t was a few years ago and is
becoming less every minute. The
retailers lay 1t to the manufac-
turers, and the manufacturers lay
1t to the retailers; the capitalists
blame 1t to labor, and the labor
interests blame 1t to the capitalists.
For IL wages go up, prices must go
up; and II prices go up, then
wages must go up.
THE way to lower the cost of
living and make life worth living
for oil people is to- bring about
real cooperation among these diff
ferent interests in order that all
may pull together to increase pro-
duction and eliminate waste. Cap
ital is wrong in its unwillingness
to give labor a real interest in the
business; but labor also Is abso-
lutely wrong in its basic theory
that 1t can get richer by producing
less. Capital must learn to give
up and labor must learn to realize
that it is the enterprise and brains
of the management which makes
things go.
There are two wars in pro-
gress today. One war is between
nations and the other war Is be-
tween classes. The present method
of one side staring at the other,
unwilling to talk things over to-
gether, cannot long continue"

His Power Said to Mean Return
of Nation to Monarchy
State Dispatches
Kept Secret.

Washington, June 1~S.-Japan has
taken action similar to Great Britain's
IN refusing to associate herself with
the American action In asking he rival
factions in China to compose their diff
%ferences. it was said today at the state
department. No reason was given for
the action of either nation, but 1T Is
assured that neither felt that the Amer
lean action would be successful.
Japan Is known TO resent that the
United States sent its note to China,
feeling that it disregarded the special
position japan claims for herself there.
The whole question, from what little Is
being divulged by the state depart
ment, seems to have arisen from a
series OF misunderstanding.
Asked Others TO Aid.
A nearly Is a be learned, tho
United States, on June 4, addressed
what it considered a most friendly note
TO- China, asking the two fighting fac.
tons to compose their differences and
restore internal order. At about the
same time Great Britain, France and
Japan were invited to take some steps
toward the restoration of order in
China, but Japan, at least apparently,
did mo- understand that the American
action had already been taken.
On June 8 the first public intimation
OF Americas actual action came in a
dispatch from Picking, quoting the text
Of the American note given out. APP
parently by the Chinese authorities.
Not Announced Here.
On June 9. there appeared In the
Toxic Asahi not this real text, but .
dispatch sent from New York, and con-
sisting OF newspaper comment. The
Japanese were doubly disturbed, first,
by the seeming direct interference In
China's affairs, and second by the
knowledge that America had already
k her action while negotiations
were apparently still under way.

to have replied to the American note,
though reports indicate that it was
"favorably received.

to take action, has not formally replied
as yet, but 1t is thought unlikely that
she will follow the United States, now
that Great Britain and Japan have re-
fused to do so.
