German Democratic
Papers Protest at
Pon-Gerr11ay, Aims
Thc NciU York Tribune
Forcigu Press Bureau

II there previously had been any
doubt in the minds of the liberal and
democratic elements of Germany as to
the nnnexationst aims of the Pan
Germans, the peace negotiations at
brest-L1tovsk have shown clearly that
The Pan-German imoerialistic ambi-
'ions OF 1914 have ~ no means been
affected by the three aud onc-half
years of bloodshcd.
Before the peace negotiations began
the German liberal press had the illu-
sion that the Pan Germans would act
IN accord with the Rcichstac resolu-
ton OF last July against annexations.
But now that the Pan-Germans have
openly shown to every thinking Ger
man their lust of conquest the demo
cratic press Of Germany is raising its
voice against the Pan Germans.
1t is not only the Socialist papers
that are conducting the campaign
against Pan-German militarists and
Junkers, but also moderate newspapers
like the "Frankfurter Xeitung" are
coming in this campaign. The Frank
furter Zeitung' for the last few weeks
has been publishing series of arti-
cles violently attacking the Pan Ger
mans. These attacks are significant
when it is remembered that this paper
is the representative organ of the
financial, commercial and industrial
classes. with the exception Of the large
iron industries.
The "Lcipziger Volkszeitung" finds
that Won kuehlmann has been forced
by the PanGermans to make imposs-
bic demands upon Russia. 1t contin-
ues:
"While thc English and the Ameri-
can governments are declaring their
readiness to conclude peace on certain
definite conditions. the German gov
ernment is concealing completelv it's
war aims. No one can now saw that
the German government desires a dem
ocratic peace by understanding"

WARSAW Poles Quit
Work, Angered by
Treaty With Ukraine

LONDON, rep. l6.-A general strike
in Warsaw is reported by Reuters Am
sterdam correspondent. The German
papers print only brief and unsatisfac-
tory dispatches regarding the situation
there.
Students and workmen are said % be
planning great demonstrations. The
streets are being patroled by military
detachments. mounted and afoot. The
theatres have been closed Represent
tatves of the Austro- Hungarian For
eign Office are reported to have left
the city. Everywhere the greatest eN-
citement prevails, the advices declare.
The resignation of the Polish min
istry at Warsaw. the bitter feeling OF
the Polish members of the Austrian
Parliament and other indications OF
Dissatisfaction in Poland as a result of
| the peace agreement that gave the
province of Cholm to the Ukraine are
reported to be causing anger and alarm
Iii the German press. Many news
papers, according to Amsterdam ad-
vices, are attacking the Poles sharply.
"Must Not Tear Down Net"
The "Cologne Gazette" says the Cen
trail Powers cannot permit the Poles "to
tear the net we have just spun in the
East for the advantage of all con-
cerned," and declares that peace must
not be endangered at the very moment
it has been arranged.
The "Morgen Post" says: "If Ger
many is to have any security in the
East the Polish desires must be opposed
Immediately. The Poles have declared
"a state of hostilties The results Of
This attitude must be shown to them;
otherwise the German Empire win lose
all its prestige in the East"
A Berlin dispatch TO the "Fran%-
furtcr Zeitung" says: ar .ofts IL
Warsaw papers that Polish regiments
Of the Russian army have offered -
place themselves at the disposal OF the
Warsaw government arc causing Sc
rious anxiety in political circles in Ger
many.
"At the moment when the whole Polish
nation, in Poland. Austria and else
where, is opposing the peace with the
Ukraine the formation of a Polish army
is especially significant"
The reports thus mentioned seem to
suggest that the Poles have suddenly
appeared as an important military
factor. The Polish lcgons have stiff
fened their discipline and increased
their strength under General Musnicki,
who offered their services to the Polish
Regency Council.
The Importance of the movement in
Poland is shown in a Warsaw dispatch
which appears in the "Vossische lei

artillery actions.
On the lower Piave, however, the op-
posing forces have engaged in spirited
combat. Opposite Montello, British
reconnoitring parties succeeded yestcr-
day in crossing the swollen stream and
reaching the invaders lines. An Ital-

Berlin Editor Admits
Unfair Peace Tactics

EOrojuD Drcec R7,ro1,,


Even so pro German writer as
Georg Bernhard, managing editor of
the Berlin "Vossische Zeitung," ad-
mits the unfairness of the methods en-
ploycd at the peace conference Of
Brest-Litovsk by the German com
missioners, who pretended to uphold
the right of small nations while aim
ing at the annexation of Russian
Poland and the Baltic Provinces
Under the caption "Unfair Methods"
Bernhard says
I'VE stated some time ago that the
German Peace Commissioner had the
choice of demanding corrections of
the frontier or conceding to the ma
tions of the western Russian provinces
the unrestricted right of determining
don't know whether the Russians
the frontier. Perhaps they would have
rejected, perhaps they would have ac-
cepted. such a proposition from the
outset; perhaps they would have nc
Eotiatcd. But +Lere would not have
been any chance of accusing our COM
missioners of pcrtidy. The victor
would have outlined his conditions,
the conquered would have rejected
them. That would have been simple
affair, and each party would have had
an opportunity to draw conclusions
from the situation.
What has been done creates for
Germany an international situation i'm

continually to endure under Chan

LOCAL RAILROAD MEN TO SHARE
IN NEW WAGES.

Employees in the local shops of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad will
share in the increased wages made
possible by the recent order of Di-
rector-General McAdoo, which grants
an increase to sixty-eight cents an
hour with proportionate advances for
assistant and miscellaneous classes in
the mechanical departments.
The new rates, which are retroac-
tive to last January 1, are from five
to thirteen cents higher than wages
paid these men in most shops under
the central wage advance allowed by
Director-General McAdoo about two
months ago. Beginning August 1,
eight hours will be regarded as a
standard days work and overtime
will be paid at the rate of one and
one-half times the usual rate. That
pay will be given to the employees as
soon as it can be calculated.
The local shop men are more than
pleased with the new arrangement,
especially with the eight hour fea-
ture, and more especially with the
increase in their pay, which will cut
a figure in the monthly pay check.

uGHTLESS NIGHTS NOT ORDER
ED HERE YET.

Mr.. James H. Thompson, Fuel
Administrator for Bourbon county
has not yet received orders from the
State or National Fuel Administra-
ton regarding the further observance
Of ''lightless nights" Dispatches
from Washington state that orders
would be received from Washington,
and that they would take effect on
Wednesday night.
Mr.. Thompson stated that the de-
lay. in transmission of the order was
probably due to the fact that all
such communications from Washing
ton come through the State Fuel Ad-
ministration, and were sent to the
county officials from Louisville.
Paris business houses will likely OBJ
serve the order anyway, as they have

Hon. Press Kimball, of Lexington,

a candidate for the Democratic nom

out in a card asking his friends to
vote for Senator James.
This is the first time in Kentucky

writing on the>life of friend. This
might have happened in Germany

The Dear Child Died

Notwithstanding the combined
efforts of doctors here and in Ar
cadia 70 save his precious life,
dear little Charles Harsha, age 4
years, third son of DR.. and Mrs.
d. N. Mcqueen, died in an Arcadia
sanitarium last Friday morning.
The body was brought here that
afternoon and the funeral oc-
cured next morning, the services
being conducted by Pastor Cole OF
the Methodist church, at the Nc
Queen residence on Taylor street.
1t was the largest child's funer-
al we ever saw. The house and
grounds were crowded with peo-
ple who loved the little boy and
deeply sympathized with his
heart-broken parents. There was
a profusion of floral offerings, e
nough in loneliness and quantity
to grace the bier of some dlstln-
guished citizen. This was natural,
for the dear little fellow, by his
bright ways and lovable DISPOSE
ton had, won the love of all who
knew him and every body sympa-
thized with his parents in the loss
of such a precious child.
