London, Mays. is grave un- easiness in Germany over the news from the east where apparently the Germans shortly will be confronted with overwhelming difficulties which will shatter the whole fabric of the BrestLitovsk peace, says an Amster- dam dispatch to the Daily Express. From Finland to the Ukraine there is ever increasing opposition to German oppression.
 Vienna reports, it adds, say most of the Ukraine crops were ruined by the peasants who would rather starve than feed the Germans.

REPUBLICANS LAY PLANS TO
CONTROL RECONSTRUCTION
New Scheme Will he Submitted to
Conference to Bc Hold
This Week.

Washington. November 17.-Thc
plan of Senator Ovcrman for a COM
mission to construct reconstruction
legislation brought counter propo-
sition yesterday from the Republic
cans who will control the next
Congress-. Opposing the Ovcrman
scheme OF an independent commission
to study all reconstruction problems.
tho Republicans will seek to keep tho
jurisdiction over all such legislat ton
within Congress itself through the
appointment Of joint committees Of
the Senate and House.
AS the Republicans will have n
majority in each house their plan
would give them control Of each Of
the Joint committees.
The Republican plan, which has
been drafted by a number OF Repub-
liCan Senators, will be submitted this
week TO a conference Of all the
members OF that party with the idea
OF having 1t formally endorsed as the
party policy for all reconstruction
legislation.
Senator Ovcrman tried to get some
action on the resolution Saturday by
the Judiciary Committee, but failed
to get quorum OF the committee
together. He will make another
effort this week to secure a hearing
on the resolution, but the Republi-
cans have made up their minds to
block the measure IL they can, so
that all legislation in tho matter of
reconstruction will be put over until
the. next Congress assemblies.
The plan, which tho Republicans
will support, proposes tho creation Of
six joint committees, each to DO COM
posed Of five Senators and five Repre-
sentatives. Each of the committees
will be assigned to n specific line Of
work in the drafting Of reconstruct
ton legislation and in the studying
of problems growing out Of the war.

he and his friends are calling q meet

purpose Of naming peace ENJOYS to

He does not seem to have consulted
President Woodrow Wilson about this

about the ACCESSIBILITY of making the

must secure passports from one or
the other in order to cross the Allan
tic. But what difference does 1t make

no will have drawn to himself and
associates the attention of the civil
liked world and If he is not permit
cd to go, he will have done the same
thing ana Kept the money in his
pocket.
Of course neither Mr.. Trotter nor
his Committee will be able to get
within sight Of the Peace Commission
in France, although they may send
communications there that VIII cause
annoyance without trouble. The col,
ored folks were in at the fighting
and they will be out at the Peace
. Conference table, but they will make
enough noise to attract attention
and that will be something in view
! Of the academic discussion Of the
fight for free democracy.

Following the issuance OF circular
letters to the mayors of cities and
to tho police chiefs throughout Vir
ginia, cautioning them to guard
against lawlessness and informing
them that firearms and ammunition
had recently been purchased in un-
usual quantities, the State Council Of
Defense today sat in executive ses-
sion. It is thought that tho delib
crations of the body had to do with
preventive measures in case Of any
uprising.
Yesterday afternoon committee
, OF Negro leaders called OH Colonel
G. II. Kelley, executive secretary of
the state Council Of Defense, at his
Offices in the State Council. It is
understood that conditions were dis
cusscd at that time.
1t is probable that n city ordinance
may be passed to prevent in future
, sale OF firearms to any person not
bearing n special permit from the
proper authorities, and it is regarded
rs certain that the police authorities
here will at once place themselves in
n proper posture to deal with any
and all possible cventualities. rho
same precautions, it is understood,
are to be taken by all cities in the
State.
The State Council of Defense has
been advised by Major Sherry, chief
Of the Richmond police department.
that hundreds OF revolvcrs and
thousands of rounds of ammunition
have been purchased in Richmond
during the past several weeks.
The police have required all local
dealers in firearms to sign q paper
agreeing not to sell royolvers or am
munition of more than 20 calibre to
any person not bringing with him Il
written permit for the purchase of
such arms or ammunition.
Just why colored people should be
mixed up in this matter is a mystery
to us. This is done, too, at a time
when the relationship between the
races here was never more cordial
and friendly. If colored people are
purchasing firearms, it is for the
purpose of defending white people,
and not with any intention Of at
lacking them.
The article may not have been so
intended, but it is mischievous in the
extreme, especially in view OF the
happening at Winston Salem, where
white men died defending the Jail
and upholding the majesty OF the
law, although colored man was the
object sought by the mob.
Let the Police Department handle
these matters in quiet way and
according to its own notions, but for
Gods sake, stop this business Of
leading outsiders to believe that We
are disposed to go to war against
each other, when we are now sitting
together, smoking the pipes of
peace"
