REHlND GERMAN SCENES.

a letter has been received IN Bal
tin,ore in the last As hours from
civ in Germany written by German
,phiact TO a man of German extrac-
t;on in the monumental city.
This letter contained information
10 the effeffct that the conditions IN
Germany were such as to give not
,nlv the writer Of the letter, but all
the inhabitants of that country:
rrcat concern. The writer predicted
that the war would come to an end
within six months. His reason Tor
80 believing was stated to be, first,
shat money was exceedingly tight
throughout the German Empire, ana
that the last loan subscribed by the
people was only obtained at the point
Of the bayonet; that the people were
entirely dissatisfied and were greatly
depressed over the general slaughter
Of their people by the Allies.
This, he said, unqaestionably
points to a revolution within that
country and that the assassination
Of the Kaiser will Qe one IF the first
.hinps that the INTEL S::tes may
hear in the near future. This in
formation, though startling in char
,cter. and may be regarded as a
speculation, must, however, be re-
gardcd with some degree Of eonsid-
Grafton, for it was from this same
source. long before the war was de-
dared, that information was sent to
Baltimore that orders had been given
70 dismantle the German vessels in
termed in Baltimore and prevent their
use.

ONLY TWO SIDES TO "a WAR.

William Jennings Bryan has the
following to say in the Commoner:
"Eciore our nation enters a war it
s perfectly proper to discuss the
wisdom of going to war, but the
discussion is closed when Congress
acts. After that no one should be
permitted to cloak attacks upon the
claim that he is exercising freedom
IF speech.
No sympathy, therefore, vii! be
wasted upon those who have been ar
,ested for unpatrictic utterances.
The. abuse free speech. and this APP
plies to attacks upon the Allies as
we'll as to attacks upon the United
States. We can no more allow our
allies to, be crushed than we can af-
ford to be crushed ourselves. The
defeat of our allies would throw the
whole burden Of the war upon US.
We must stand together and fight it
through. There are only two sides

PREPARING GERMAN MIND

As was stated in yesterdays Ga
.ettc, Gen. Won Liebert, in a speech
1T Rathenow, Prussia. a few days
lgo said:
Eve cannot sign peace before
We have the Flanders coast, colo
NAL empire and maritime bases.
Should we not realize this now we
must prepare to work for it after
he war in view Of the next war"
1t doesn't require much sagacity
20 see that General Won Liebc:t IS
preparing the German people to re-
,cive the announcement of the Ut
eer failure Of Germany to carry out
her designs upon Belgium and llol-
land. Three years age, when the
Tcuton hosts invaded France ana
Belgium, the people of the Father
and were assured that the Neither
lands would in future be governed
bv the Kaiser, while a large slice
if northern France would be an
aeycd to Germany.

ASKS FOR STANDARD.
LOAF OF U. S. BREAD
Congressman H. 7. Helgesen
Says Lack Is Responsible
for High Prices.

Congressman H. 7. Helgesen oil
North Dakota, whose speech on prices
of bread in this country and abroad
before the Cathedral Heights Citi'
Kens' Association Thursday night
raised some comment In the Capital
today issued statement, explaining
in detail the conditions here and
abroad. as he sees them,
Basing his statements on those of
]. r. Cahill, official investigator of
the board of trade In England, who
stated he did not understand how the
English people could buy bread In
London for one-third the price Chi
cago consumers paid. Congressman
Helgesen said.
Difference In Price.
"Mr. Cahill has informed me that
while Americans have paid cents
for fourteen ounces of bread, English
consumers paid 10 cents for q loaf
weighing sIxty-four ounces made out
of American wheat; and also that the
English four-pound loaf never cost
The Washington times., 1917-01-07

more than IL cents, and usually only
10 cents.
According to this official English
investigator, we have paid twice as
much for our bread in times of peace
as the English paid for theirs in
times of peace, although both were
made from American wheat; and even
now, when so-called war prices pre-
vail in England, the same proportion
holds good. For while England re-
Gently advanced the price of bread to
II cents for four pounds. or 4A cents
per pound, thereby nearly causing q
bread riot, we in this country are
paying 9 80 cents per pound, or al
most twice, what the English pay for
the same quantity,
No Standardized Loaf.
zone reason why we Americans
submit tamely to this particular form
of extortion is. because we have no
standardized loaf, and therefore do
not realize the exorbitant price which
we pay for bread"
