German WOrkingmen No
Longer Have Voice In Affairs
By J. W. T. Mason


New York, Oct. 5-Abdieation of
control over the most pressing internal
affairs has been made by Chancellor
Michaelis in favor of the kaiser g mil
itary chiefs. Representatives of Ger
man working men no longer are being
permitted to state their grievances to
the civilian authorities at Berlin, but
are being compelled to 90 to the front
and address their complaints to GEN
eral Ludendorff, the vital force behind
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
This is the most extreme step kais
erism has taken to subordinate Mich
aelis and his co-ministers to the rank
of petty clerks to the militarists. I'm
rest among German workingmen has
been growing for many months ana
the government at Berlin has been
unable to improve conditions because
all remedies have had to be submitted
to the field commanders, who have re-
garded the workingmen demands
much as they would a round robin
from rebellious soldiers.
In consequence of this, the German
chancellor has now placed the full re-
lOT u Htliltlnthl VI ihboi
unrest upon the general staff. Faced
by the same conditions of dissatisfae-
tion among their workingmen, the
democratic nations opposing Germany
have made satisfactory adjustments
through the exclusive activities of the
civil authorities.
The world s democracies have proven
that their civilian control is sufficient
TO protect the economic liberties of
workingmen in war time. Kaiserism,
however, is demonstrating that, faced
with similar internal conditions, its
civil government becomes impotent and
an appeal to army autocracy is the only
method it knows to keep its workshops
operating To realize the humiliation
German workingmen are now undergo
ing, it is only necessary to imagine
conditions in the United States if the
American Federation of Labor were
compelled to send delegation to Gen
eral Pershing to request his consent
for a raise in wages.
No episode of the war shows the
danger of kaiserism and the ideal for
which America is fighting than these
humble pilgrimages of German trade
unionists TO the camp of General Lu-
dendorff.

The strongest of these early blows came
from above Broodseinde, but it was
broken up quickly.
AS this dispatch is written at head
quarters, reports show British attackers
near Gravenstafel and further north
are having trouble in dislodging the
enemy and in crossing the Stroombeek,
but are slowly pressing on. Troops a
little below are reported briskly ad-
vaneing on both sides of the stream.
One great numbering tank was observ-
ed advancing near Poelcapelle.

to headquarters today showed that the

Navy Is Effective.


Washington, Oct. 5.-With three
times as many vessels and twice as
many men in the service, than when
this country entered the war, the navy
is constantly extending its activi-
ties" Secretary Daniels declared today
in a statement to the United Press.
"The navy has been in active serv-
ice since the day war was declared, "
said Daniels.
"American destroyers have been en-
gagged in the anti-submarine warfare
in European waters since early in May,
while our warships have guarded our
long stretch of coasts and patrolled the
western Atlantic.
"American merchantmen have been
armed and thousands of gunners are
serving in the armed guards of such
ships. The navy is operating the trans
port service conveying our troops
overseas.
''There are now nearly three times
as many vessels in service as there
were when the war began. Hundreds
of Yachts and vessels of different
types have been taken over and CON
verted into patrol boats, submarine
chasers and mine sweepers.
"The enlisted strength of the reg
ular navy has increased from 81, $50, to
over I43,O00; the naval reserve force
from 10000 to $4,000; the hospital
corps from 1000 to 5000 There are
IA 800 naval militia in federal service
and the coast guard with its force of
5000 is operating under the navy.
''To house and train the thousands
of recruits, twenty camps have been
built which provide for $4,000 men.
"a fshore construction program in
volving about 500, 100000 is being
carried out, including the extension Of

Garman Attacks cease.

London, Oct. 5.-The Germans gave
up their hopeless counter-attacks
against the newly won British position
in the Passchendaele ridge sector early
today, Field Marshal Haig reported. The
British were left in undisputed control
of the great chunk of territory won in
the drive yesterday.
"East of Ypres during the night the
enemy heavily shelled our new posi-
tions,' Field Marshal Haig reported
"We are engaging in organizing our
captured positions.
t'North of Gonzeaucourt a hostile
raiding party endeavored to enter our
trenches at night, but were driven off
with losses under our rifle fire and ma
chine cunning.
"In the neighborhood of Lens three
other attempted enemy raids were all re-
pulsed, in one case after stiff fight
ing.''

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE


Brunswick, Ga, Jan. /. 1917.
Honorable Mayor and Council:
Brunswick. Ga.
Gentlemen: As the financial con
dition of the city is shown in detail
by the clerks report, which will be
read to you. and as the mayor in his
address has mentioned the items of
interest beyond the ordinary opera
tions of the city, anything further
from your chairman along those lines
would probably be superfluous. How
ever, it is gratifying to me and
know it must be to the board and
the public at large, to be able to re-
port that our sinking fund is grow
ing steadily; the increase in the citys
net surplus this year OF over $4,000
being practically payments into ana
accrued interest in the sinking fund.
Until our 100000 bonds maturing in
1921 are provided for. we will have
to practice economy in every way
consistent with maintenance of our
streets and preservation Of city prop
erty, and | desire to impress that fact
on the incoming council.
Respectfully,
j. SIDNEY ROBERTS,
Chairman Finance Committee.
