HUNS JOSTLE YANKS,
CR|NGE BEFORE BRITISH

Coblenz. by Courier to Nancy.
Tuesday, Dec. 10.-A bottle thrown
from window by woman at an
American soldier has been the only
overt act Of hostility reported since
the Americans have entered Coblenz.
The incident was regarded as being
SO trivial .thatsit was left to the local
police to deal with the woman. There
has developed. however, within the
past "a hours, an unmistakable air
of independence on the part of the
people. reflecting their conviction
that the Americans are going TO
deal with them much more delicately
than have the French or British with
the people north and south of the
city.
Instead of cringing or even saow-
ing deep respect the population ad-
opted an attitude today that found
expression in jostling American sol
diers on the street and in sneers and
laughs which were only vaguely con-
cealed.

Prof. Nansen says:
''The dream of fraternity of ma

of the worlds greatest statesmen,
President Woodrow Wilson, is aim

now able to make this Utopian dream
a reality is because the nation is
young and healthy. America went
into the war only to make the future
wars impossible. 1t will achieve that
end,"

THE S|NN FE|NERS
SELECTED A LOSER
Wanted Complete Separation From
England and Arc Accused OF
Plotting With Germany

Dublin. Dec. 1.-THE collapse OF
Germany is expected In some quar-
terB In Ireland to exert a strong in
fluence on the election OF members
OF parliament which takes place to-
morrow. As John Dillon. the Irish
Nationalist leader put II. the German
collapse showed the Sim Felners
that they backed the wrong horse"
The Sim Felners contested the
nationalist seats In parliament on a
program OF complete separation from
England. Their candidates were
pledged to refuse TO attend the Brit
ish parliament II elected. For the
most part the Sim Fein candidates
are at present In English prisons held
on a charge OF being concerned In
German plot.
Tho Nationalist party in most in
stances fought for their seats but
few, notably Swift and MacNeil,
retired from the contests with the
remarks that ireland was thankless
toward her politicians.
The Nationalist program for Ire
land remains constitutional action in
parliament but they added to this
a promise TO lay their case for self
determination before President Will
son. They also promised to try to
secure the future position OF Ire
land In the world ld-rearrangement ex-
pccted TO follow the peace conference
at Versailles. This attitude encour-
aged some TO hope for cooperation
between the Sim Feiners and the
Nationalists; but II has been pointed
out that their differences In prlnci-
pie are fundamental.
Whichever form the Irish demands
eventually take the problem OF u
ster, which has been practically the
sole obstacle TO an Irish settlement
will still remain. Even n the peace
conference ever dealt with the Irish
question this obstacle would have
to be faced. There Is a home-ruie
act now on the statute book. It was
postponed till the end OF the war
subject to an arrangement with Ul-
sHer. No arrangement has been
made, Both the Sim Feiners and
the Natlonaiists are now agreed tha,
no arrangement shall be made and
that Ireland must be treated as q
unit.
The Unlonists as a party expected
to profit by the conflict between the
Nationalist sections and had candi
dates in constituencies In which the,
would under narmal conditions -hav,
no chance. Some OF the Unionist,
prophesied that their party woult
make clean swe ep OF the National
lists and that Ireland would be repre-
sented at Westminster by S5 or NOR,

The Bayarian leader is nm Ideal

son In the world to deny tho allega-
tion. His friends call him "the
greatest man In Germany" but his
enemies, who are apparently increas-
ing in Bavaria. declare that he is
"an Impractical and dreaming ideal
ist."
The socialist leader appears al
most incougruous in his office amid
the surroundings OF the former royal
regime. Eisnor is short and stocky.
The fore part OF his head is almost
bald. but a shock OF iron-gray hair
hangs far below his collar. He has
huge red whlskers. slightly shot
with gray. He dresses simply.

BARNETT PAYS GLOWING TRIBUTE TO

The marine corps also organized
a regiment of heavy artillery to man
7-inch naval guns, provided with the
caterpillar tractors and mounts, and
built up its own aviation service, so
student filters being graduated each
month, in the closing days of the
war, from the school at Boston.
Despite the great expansion of the
corps and the reduced training per-
iod, the marines maintained their
record for craftsmanship, 81 per
cent OF the entire organization quail
flying as marksmen, sharpshooters
and expert riflemen.
General Barnett recommended
that the permanent peace strength
|of the corps be raised to 31,500.
New construction recommended by
the commandant includes facilities
at Philadelphia to cost $450.000, ad-
ditional mess halls and quarters at
Paris Island, s. c., to cost $1,64S,-
800, adequate water works at Guam
tico, Va, and barracks at the New
York navy yard.
Quantico should be the east coast
base and San Diego the west coast
base of the corps, General. Barnett
says, should 1t become necessary to
concentrate these troops at their
own depots in order to devote the
space they now occupy to industrial
activities of the navy yards.
