ATTEMPT TO GUST
KAISER'S PREMIER
German War Party Thinks
Bethmann Hollweg is Too
Friendly With Socialists.
MANY CROSS CURRENTS

Copenhagen, April 25.-(Via Lon
on.)-The movement for the over
throw of Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, halted for a time by the
adoption of ruthless submarine war
fare, is again becoming evident in
Germany. The agitation is encour-
aged by dissensions over internal re-
forms. possible peace terms and food
troubles.
The Pan-G German conservative and
national liberal organs are today
sharply campaigning against the So
cialist peace program and take the
chancellor severely to task for not
disassociating himself and his admin
istration from Scheidemann and his
propaganda.
The conservative Deutsche Tages
Zeitung demands a strong hand at
the helm, which, alone, it says, can
save the country from the breakers
to which it is heading on the dan
gerous Scheidemann course.
The Pan-Gcrman iannexationists
have turned trick against the so.
cialists by exploiting an apocryphal
peace program which they claim the
German socialists will put forward
at the Stockholm conference. This
program, which specifies in detail the
disposition Of all occupied territories
is Indignantly repudiated by the Vor-
waerts. The socialists organ says
that no program exists beyond a
general declaration against annexa'
tions and indemnities.
The administration is evidently
having no happy time in facing the
utterly conflicting demands of Its so.
cialist friends and junker enemies

ment as to war aims and internal re-
forms. The evident shakiness oI
Austria Hungary is. another source Of
concern.
Charges Socialists With Bribery.
Amsterdam (Via London), April rs
The recent strike movement in Ger.
many was discussed at meeting oil
the Rcichstag auxiliary service COM
Ipittee at which Count Westarp
leader of the conservatives, well
coined General Groener's declaration
that further attempts to interfere
with munitions work would be ruth
lessly suppressed. Count Westarp in,
simulated that money had played a
part in the strike and accused the so.
cialist minority OF playing the game Of
Germany's enemies. He denied that
the trouble was caused BY lack Of
food. -.
The socialists Indignantly denied
the insinuation that brides had been
used and placed the blame for the
strike on the administration OF the
Scandau works, the fact that the
bread ration had been decreased and
on the Agrarian policy. One speaker
declared that the Agrarians, owing
to the high price of cattle, fed them
with bread and corn, which the NUM-
ton workers could net obtain.

certain level which would give
them a reasonable return and would
not cause them to suffer loss In any
event. This would have to be done
under proper regulation.
1.-THE shortage OF important crops
in this nation, the greatly depleted
resources abroad and the waste and
destruction in Europe should cause
a continuance of remunerative prices,
but as an additional assurance to
farmers the power indicated ought
to be vested in the government.
ut is OF the first importance that
no step be omitted greatly to increase
the supply, especially Of the great
staple food products of the United
States in every direction"
Stockmen Are Pleased.
The Live Stock exchange is graft
fed at the position taken by Secre-
tary Houston. said President Tagg.
He telegraphed Secretary Houston as
follows:
"Your telegram received. The South
Omaha Live Stock exchange heartily
approves your plan OF securing au-
thority from congress to fix minimum
prices to producers in order to stimu-
late increased production of food arti.
Giles, including meats during present
crisis, and note with pleasure that you
do not intend to place arbitrary maxi.
mum prices. We think you are right
in trying to eliminate uneconomic
speculation and manipulation in hand
ling of food products.
This exchange is doing all 1t car
to increase production in this terri.
tory. We have already established
help bureau to assist farmers and
stock men in this territory in getting
sufficient help to put in and take care
OF crops, we are also promoting the
forming OF calf, heifer, pig and sheer
clubs in this territory with the heir
OF the bankers and school of agricul
ture at Lincoln.
Promises CO. Operation.
"A representative OF our exchange
appeared before the bankers con
vention OF Norfolk, Neb,, last Mon
day and will appear before anothe
bankers convention tomorrow a
Grand Island, pointing out to then
the necessity for all organizations t.
cooperate in an effort to increase tn
production OF live stock and foo,
products in this territory. We will b.
GLAD to receive any suggestions as I,
how we can help you in this grea
work"
Officers and members Of the Liv
Stock exchange say the message Q
Secretary Houston ought to set a
rest all rumors regarding the govern
ment's intentions toward the pro
ducers of the country. Leading stock
men expressed themselves as feelin
that this matter having been dehnitel
settled there is no reason why every
one throughout the country shout
not get busy to carry out Presider
Wilson'S request that the productio
of all foodstuffs ought to be great
increased.

Former Governor OF Massachusetts,.
My special interest at this time Of
national crisis is the promotion OF war
prohibition as a military efficiency
measure. The. government is to call
out hundreds of thousands Of young
men. If these are to give the nation
the maximum of service they must be
protected from the saloon. The mod
ern war technique on sea and land
demands clear heads and quick ac-
ton. This the federal government
understands. 1t has suppressed the
army canteen and prohibits the sale
OF alcohol on its ships and in its navy
yards.
But our eastern cities, sodden with
drink, would nullify the wise purposes
OF the national authorities. Within a
half mile Of the Charlestown navy
yard BOSTON, eighty-six licensed
places set their traps for the blue
jackets. Things are much the same
at Portsmouth, Brooklyn and down
the line,
1t is now we'll understood that al
cohol lowers resistance to disease. II
our boys are to offer their bodies as a
defense to the nation these bodies
should not be weakened to the attack
of infectious sickness. The surgeons
in the Russian army explain with de-
light that the quick recovery from
wounds in the present war Gas con-
trasted with the Russo Japanese war;
is the undoubted consequence OF the
prohibition of vodka. Let us, too, give
our wounded the best chances OF re-
covery. Further, our boys should be
protected from the black diseases
which stream from city brothels.
Close the saloon and venereal sick
nesses shirk to a minimum.

School at Yankton Indian
Agency Ordered Closed

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 25.-(Spe-
al,)-Like a bombshell from a clear
sky was the receipt of telegram by
Superintendent Leach, in charge of
Yankton Indian agency from the COM
missioner of Indian affairs at WASH
ington, ordering the immediate clos
ing of the government Indian school,
which for thirty years or more has
been one OF the leading institutions of
Yankton Indian agency.
The reason was stated to be the
failure of congress to make an appro-
priation for its maintenance. The In
dian children, about IFS in number,
were sent to their homes on different
parts Of the reservation.
A number OF clerks employed at the
agency doubtless will be thrown out
OF employment, and it is feared that
even the Office OF superintendent of
the agency may be done away with
and the affairs Of the Indians placed
in charge of a bonded clerk.

IL can't speak too highly of the cool
manner in which the lieutenant han

hibition Of the efficiency OF American
