The $170,500,000 total asked for the
United War Work Campaign of Nov
ember 11-18 means little more than an
average contribution of $1.7o by every
man, woman and child in the country.

seven notable, and noble, organiza'
lions will share. These are the 7.
M. C. A., the Y. w. G. A., the National

Contributions to individual organiza-

encouraged since the division of the
money contributed is to be on a pro

TEN MONTHS BEST

The best age to begin the education

cut OF the whip on the shoulder at the

This should be done without hurry

These first lessons should not last
over fifteen minutes, when the dog
may be petted and given his liberty. BY
repeating these two lessons regularly
twice each day, rapid progress will be
the reward.
The lesson to "go on" or "hie on" Is

Uncle Harry, laughing, or you're llkel,
to sweep me or my feet before ever
get started.
First, let's go back to Jimmy's ques.
ton. The man by The name Of Ebert
that he mentioned became Premie- OF
the provisional government established
by the moderate Socialists immedlatelN
following the revolution. Foremost
among Premier Ebert's advisers has
been Philip Scheidemann, anothel
prominent German Socialist.
DIR. Karl Liebknecht, who spent q
long period In prison during the war,
because OF his outspoken opposition 10
the Kaiser and the war party is the
leader OF the Spartacus or Radical So
cialist group, sometimes referred 10 as
the Extreme Left. The radical Social
lists are strongly represented through
out all OF the Germai elites by their
Soldiers and Workman's Council.
Then. OF course, there is a third
large group of Germany made up OF
conservatives or reactionaries, iunkers
and Pan-Germans, the people who up
held the Kaiser and are constantly plot
ting to overthrow the Socialist govern
ment and re-establish a rOyallst gov
ernment OF some sort, in which they
Will be the privileged class as before.
Confusion a Natural Consequence
Jimmy said" continued Uncle Harry,
that everything seems 10 be mixed
up and he is right. The political sit
uaiion In Germany is pretty well mix
ed up and we could hardly expect any
thing else when we remember the great
and startling changes that have oc-
CURED in German affairs in the last
few months. / venture to say that. be-
fore the war, IL anyone predicted that
in the course OF a few years the Kali
ser would be in exile and Germany In
revolution, he would have been thought
insane.
"Yes, these things have come TO pass
and the German people. In addition 10
their countless other difficulties aris-
ing out of the defeat OF their armies
are faced with the necessity OF throw
ing aside. all OF the political machinery
that they have been accustomed TO for
decades. and Of building a new gov
ernment on the ruins left by the Kaiser
and his war-makers.
IN times such as those through
which Germany Is now passing when
and practices OF years
are swept aside over night
and the whole political structure is
turned topsy-turvy, so TO speak, It is
natural that the people should be sub
Iect to their more violent emotions.
"Thus we see Radical Socialists at
odds with the Ebert government whose
leaders they taunt as Kaiser Social

COWLER SEEKS BOUT
WITH JACK DEMPSEY

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-persistent ef-
forts are being made to induce Jack
Dempsey to make match with Tom

ager OF Cowler has gone so far as TO
intimate that Dempsey fears the out

points out that his offer OF $1,000 has
been refused.
.Cowler's manager adds that II Demp-
sey Will not fight Cowler, Jeff Smith, a
middleweight, will be pleased 10 take
on the conqueror Of Fulton. The pro-
posal to put Smith in the ring with
Dempsey tends to weaken the claim as
to Cowler being ut opponent for the
Utah thumper. for there is not a pro-
moter in America who would even con-

A man saving a single life is looked

But what honors can be high enough
to bestow upon the saviour OF a great
nation comprising millions OF souls2
General Hcdlam. OF the British Army
on being introduced to an official OF the
dupont Powder Company exclaimed
THE dupont Company is entitled to The
credit 4 saving the British Empire"
England. unlike Germany. was not
prepared for a war for world conquest
she was utterly unprepared TO supply
The powder necessary TO enable her
armies to beat or the prodigious Hun
attacks.
The principal ingredients in smoke
less powder are nitric and sulphurlc
acid and cotton. England grows no cot
ton at all. and her acid plants were en-
tlrely inadequate TO meet the demands,
but America could produce all the need
ed raw materials.
The dupont Company built the pow
der plants, arranged for the supplies
OF ingredients and made the powder in
the enormous quantities required TO
save Great Britain from the vandals. In
so doing the United states was prob
ably saved as we'll.
At one time during the war England
decided 10 build an immense powder
plant OF her own. The dupont Company
sent experts over, and. under their SUI
peryislon, the mill was built. Then
shipping became scarce, and II was flg-
ured out that Il required seven ship
loads OF raw materials TO make one
shlpload OF smokeless powder. The re-
suit was that the big plant was not
operated, and with the exception Of the
output Of two comparatively small
plants In the u. s, the dupont Com
pany made nearly all the powder used
In the great European war.
And n this were not enough to make
the dupont Company anathema in the
eyes OF Germany, II is destined 10 be as
great a thorn IN her side in a COM
mercial way hereafter as 10 was In a
military way during the war.
Germany's greatest commerclallzed in
dustry was dye manufacture. In that.
she was virtually supreme: now she
will flnd her supremacy challenged by
the same American corporation that
blocked her designs for world military
supremacy, for the dupont Company
has set out TO utilize her vast expert
chemical organization and plants in the
Of anallne dyes. Already
her dye works are turning out and de-

German dye works claimed could not
