German Workers Back
Anti-Kaiser Movement,
N. Y. Socialists Hear

Local Socialist leaders yesterday re-
ceived the following statement from
representatives of the anti-Kaiser party
in Germany to the effect that the Ger
man working class now stands behind
the revolutionary minority Socialist
faction in Germany:
more and more proofs come TO the
surface daily that the working class IN
Germany stands behind the so-called
minority Of the Independent Socialist
party rather than behind the majority
led by Scheidemann, David and their
friends.
"In the recent party convention in
Wderzburg special care was taken that
only locals in good standing were rep
resented and could make motions. A
local that had paid up its dues, but had
rot publicly said il would renounce its
Deputy in the Reichstag il he joins the
Independent Socialist party, lost ITS
right 70 representation in the conven-
ton.
despite this the delegates who were
seated seemed rather TO favor the poll
ces of the Independents. For instance,
many Of the delegates had instructions
TO oppose all attacks upon the INDIE
pendent Socialists.
"Others demanded by special motions
that action be Immediately taken to
hasten the reunion with the secession
lists. Muehlenhausen of Tharingia,
moved that committee of five be in
structed to negotiate with a similar
committee of the Independent Socialist
party within two weeks.
MANY motions concerning the de-
rnocratization Of Germany were made

Germans Face
New Ration Cut,
Debate Reveals
Food Allowance Now High.
er Than Crops Warrant;
Reduction Is Coming

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 1s.-The view
tina. the German authorities are pur-
suing a policy Of bluff at the presei-.
time in granting food allowances cor
siderably higher than are justified by
the crops Of the year seemingly is con-
frmed by the recent food debates in
the Prussian Diet. 1t was stated in
these debates that il probably would
be necessary to reduce both the meat
and bread rstions March l in order to
make the stocks last through.
The bread ration already has been
reduced once, and the extent OF the
wheat and rye crops, it is considered,
undoubtedly will necessitate another
heavy reduction in the spring. 1t was
stated in the debates that the longer
the reduction was postponed the more
drastic will be the cut.
The laboring classes generally are
complaining that the present potato
allowance Of pound day is made
quate, but it is said there is no pros
pect of the allowance being increased,
as the surplus will be required for the
feeding Of animals in order to keep
alive through the winter the indispen-
sable minimum OF cattle and swine, and
also for the production Of alcohol re-
quired for the army.
The food authorities. according 10
all information reaching here, appear
to be gambling on the chances Of peace
before spring, and now have set great
hopes on the results Of Russian and
Italian developments.
