ORGANIZING TO
OFFSET EFFECT
OF WILSON Note
Even Women and Children
In Germany Being Mob
ilized By Agitators
WOULD DISCREDIT
THE REICHSTAG
Bremen Labor Unions De-
mand Peace and Demo
critic Reforms
(By Associated Press)

Copenhagen, Sept. IL. - German
children as well as German women
are now being modified in the
agitation against President Wilson's
standpoint. A beginning has been
made at Harburg near Hamburg
where all the public schools on Sun
day participated in a demonstration
at which the usual kilograms were
sent to Emperor William, Chancellor
Michaelis and Field Marshal Won
/ Hindenburg. The Roman Catholic
Mercantile associations Of Germany
also adopted a similar resolution.
The Vorwaerts of Berlin points out
editorially today that the motive of
the conservative and Pam German
wire pullers to which attention
has been called in recent dis
patches, namely, to utilize the Am
erican note to the Pope for exciting
anew the bellicose passions Of the
people and above all for delivering a
mighty blow to the democratic
movement, is steadily becoming
more apparent.
All the resolutions were drafted on
the same model. They commenced
with a display Of strong language
against President Wilson and then
proclaimed a readiness to hold out
until victorious peace was attained.
They contained a more or less open
attack on the reichstag resolution
declaring II to be unFepresentative
of the peoples will and concluded
with a declaration OF loyalty to the
reigning dynasty.
The new fatherland party Of
Admiral Won Tirptiz and Privy
Councillor Wolfgang Kapp who was
once sacrificed by DIR. Won Beth
mann Hollweg, the former imperial
chancellor as the chief Of the
pirates OF public opinion" has been
formed as Vorwaerts points out, as
part OF the same scheme to discredit
the reichstag majority and persuade
Chancellor Michaelis to disregard
the peace resolution entirely.
Vorwaerts has lost all confidence
swing around to the view held
abroad. OF DIR. Michaelis, The Vor-
waerts says. indications steadily
confirm the impression that he will
not disassociate himself from the
parties opposed to peace based en-
coed will because he is only waiting
q good opportunity to avail himself
Of the help they may offer against
the leichstag.
The Bremen labor unions have
protested against the recent resolu-
tion adopted by the Bremen Mer-
chant Guilds which averred that in
wide circles in Bremen the popuIa-
tion was opposed to the reichstas
majority attitude on peace. The
resolution OF the labor men endorsed
the reichstag resolution, demanded
peace without unnecessary delay and
declared for democratic reforms.

PHOTO that OF
MISSING FARMER.
NOT OF SUICIDE
Identity of Man Who End
ed Life Still Remains
A Mystery
DATES FAIL
TO COINCIDE
Suicide Occurred In Nov
ember-Kindred Man
Missing Since March

The photographs which Miss Car
rie Anderson, cashier in a local
cafeteria, brought to Fargo from
Eleva, Wis. hoping they would es-
tablish the identity of the man who
committed suicide south Of Fargo
last winter, proved to be photo
graphs of the missing Albert john
son of Kindred, n. D., but not the
man who shot himself.
Relatives of the missing man came
to Fargo this morning to see the
photographs which Miss Anderson
had In her possession. The police
and Undertaken e. F. Moore were al
so consulted. Relatives said the
photograph was that Of Albert john
son who left Kindred some time
around the middle Of March and has
not been seen or heard from since,
but saw no resemblance to that OF
the man who took his life on
Nov. 26, 1915.
The relatives stated that Albert
johnson came TO Fargo to receive
medical treatment, leaving his home
near kindred about March IL. Since
that date he failed to show up on
the farm, which is located short
distance from the village and on
which the wife and her four children
live Police pointed out that under
such circumstances, the dead man
could not be Albert Johnson as the
tragedy occurred three months be-
fore Johnson was reported missing.
Miss Carrie Anderson with sew
eral other girls viewed the remains
of the suicide shortly after the body
was taken to the Moore undertaking
rooms. On a recent visit to the
home of. her sister in Eleva, Wis.
she noticed picture of Albert john
son and was positive that the man
she had seen in the morgue was
Johnson.
This belief was further strength
ened on reports which had reached
Eleva, the old home of the Johnsons,
that he had been missing for some
time and that has wife and family in
North Dakota had heard nothing of
his whereabouts after he had left
his home for Fargo to be treated by
