Germany Without Leader.
[By Ed l.. Keen. United Press Staff
Correspondent ]


LONDON, Nov. 26.-Germany is
practically without leader, the
latest advices indicate.
Although the power Of Karl 1ieb-
KNIGHT, head of the Bolshevist move
ment, is growing, it is not believed
that Chancellor Ebert has yet been
overthrown. So far as is known, he
still heads the government in Berlin,
although actual control is maintained
by the workmen and soldiers.
AS a result Of the situation in Ger
many. the Express points out that,
unless responsible authorities sign
the peace pact, the allies may be
forced to occupy the country or con,
tinue their blockade until stable
government is established.
German newspapers declare the
interior of Germany, including Ger.
man Austria, is united against the
Bolshevist element in Prussia, par
ticularly in Berlin. Many states are
hurrying plans for the establishment
of independent republics.

NEGRO PATRIOTS
IN CELEBRATION
- M.etina Held with Fine Pro-
oram Of Addresses, Papers,
readings and Stirring
Band Music.
NEGRO A GOOD SOLDIER
..,.,rd w. MeManus Gives Some
Good Advice to coIored Race,
and Minister Traces
It's History.

Tho Patriotic circle OF which Mrs.
D 4 ZONES is president, held great
raace celebration last night at the
p,nrad Masonic hall at Twelfth and
Johnson streets.
There was large outpouring OF the
.olored citizens to hear the hne pro-
gram of speaking and music by some
o, Keokuk's orators and talented
yeung people.
the hall was decorated appropriate
" with the national colors and serv-
no flags, and each member OF the
circle wore a band of RED, white and
iIHe around the left arm. The Peo-
MES Institute concert band rendered
excellent music and stirred the aud
;enca with patriotic numbers.
The first speaker was Rev. J. Ster-
ling Moore, who traced the colored
man from 1919 to the end of the world
war He told OF the negro's bri4 liant
achievements and pleaded for the
race to commit itself to God. He
said the negro has had part IN all
the nations great conflicts and me
ought to have a place at the peace
table,
Rev. C. R. Waters, of Bethel A. NJ.
r. church, said the negro is now tread
ing the soil of Germany, and when
the boys come home they will q mand
the rights OF American citizens. He
said the negro is a fearless warrior,
and his appearance on the battle field
struck terror to the German soldiers.
Good Speech by MeManus.
Edward w. McManus gave most
encouraging address to the co'orad
citizens. his speech was thoroughly
saturated with what the black man
mas done during, his fifty-six years OF
freedom. He congratulated the race
on what it has accomplished and said
no race nor people ever got any
higher than it thought it was; and
whenever a race feels that it is as
good as any other race, then 1t is as
good.
He recited the remarkable history
Of the race in every war and said the
negro has been lifted up every time
the c7nnon Sas roared This war has
brcueht all mankind into broader
relationship, he said. Men will be
measured only in what they produce
and how they serve
Mr.. McManus laid down the prin-
ciple that the purchase of property
and tho saving of money is the high
way that gives race its standing.

Floyd elbbons, Grand sunda,


The man who has held thousands OF
eager Americans spellbound by his
simple eloquence, who makes tears
and smiles follow each other In quick
succession; the man who wears the
croix de guerre with the palm for SUI
preme bravery under fire, he will tell
you the story Of the Americans glor-
ious victories on the western front.
Over the top with the Devil Dogs"
is the title Of Floyd Gibbons story
you will hear at the Grand Sunday af-
terloon. The time will be $3.50 and
seats are now on sale at 5yc to 81 90.
Floyd Gibbons is the accredited war
correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune.
1t is the kind of job that requires
more skill, NOR daring, more brain
work than almost any in time of war.
Gibbons has been from one end of the
western line to the other, constantly
on the move, and has therefore seen
every angle Of the great world war.
Best of all he possesses a wonderful
personality and is famously COM
pelling speaker.
Hear him, it will be big treat for
keokukians.

"The Unchastened Woman" is an
adaptation of Louis X. Ans2acher's
well known play, which had a lengthy
run IN New OK ana lnen maQe as
successful a tour Of the country.
Upon it's stage presentation 1t re-
ceived an enormous amount Of puo-
Hcity, which made the title familiar
in even the most remote spot. The
producers have selected Grace Valen-
tine, who is now appearing in Moros-
cos lombard, Ltd" to play the
title role. 1t is an extremely difficult
part to visualize, as the character is
a study of feminine psychology. Miss
Valentine does not miss point. She
acts with the care and intelligence
that the role calls for, and she also
looks the part. Her supporting cast,
headed by Frank Mills, includes well

NEGROES PATRIOTIC.

1t is a pleasure to report the fine
spirit of patriotism of the colored
people of Taylor Mines, who, by a
picnic held at that place Saturday,
raised $50 and donated the entire
sum to the Red Cross. This is the
negros' country as well as the white
mans country. and it is an honor to
the negro race to display this evil
dence of loyalty in the hour OF the
nations need. The colored people
are in infancy OF commercial and in
dustrial development,and are not able
to make large sacrifices, but such
small evidences of public spirit as
that displayed by the Taylor Mines
negros will go far toward establish
ing better relations with their white
brothers.

and play grounds. The purpose of
this work is not alone for scenic eff
feet but for the purpose of sanitation
as well. Bring the hoes, scythes,
brushes and brooms, and make your
school houses and grounds fit places
for your children to live through the
next seven months. This is a duty
that should not be neglected in a
single district in the county. In adj
dition to the useful service to be per-
formed the occasion should be made
a neighborhood picnic day, and every
body should enjoy it. Bring along
lunches, song books and musical in
truments, and when the work is done

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The second German offensive, that
started with such violent energy,
lacked the staying quality of the
March offensive, and has slowed
down. Sharp. fighting is still in prog
ress at many points but at most of
them the advantage is with the allies.
The American soldiers are working
wonders on the battle line, and the
nation at home has just cause for
feeling proud of what they are &C
complishing. Great confidence is felt
in both this country and Europe that
the worst is now over, and Gen. Foch
is holding his lines with the least
possible sacrifice of men, till the
American army may add strength
enough to start a counter offensive.
There seems every reason for the Am
erican people to view the situation
with hope and confidence.

CAROUsING CARNIvALS.

| CAINNlN AL-AHy hciiy ihuh'hb'
feasting, or masquerading, especial
ly when overstepping the bounds of
decorum; a time of riotous excess.
"He saw the lean dogs be-
meath the wall
Hold DER the dead their
carnival"
The above, with the quotation is
the definition for carnival" They
do say that the good town of Hart
ford is to be afflicted with one of
these things. For the why's and
wherefores thereof we are unable to
state, except it be the paltry and
tainted sum of $500 which to us,
seems the price of mess of pottage.
A street carnival with its usual ac-
companying noise, nausea and nearly
always degrading effects should, or
dinarily, not be countenanced by
the good people of this, or any other
respectable community, neither are
they doing so in the great majority
of places. More especially in these
times of stress and unusually heavy
burdens, should we steer clear of the
blood-sucking leach, the money-hunt-
ing parasite, who is striving to take
from our midst, without giving any
thing of value in return, part OF our
funds so sorely needed, not only to
give sustenance and help to the I'M
fortunate near our doors, but to the
down-trodden, the starving, helpless
of foreign lands, and to our dear
BOYS who are to go, going and now
lover there" 1t may be good
thing to inf1ict a noisy, riotous, un-
educating, non-elevating, generally
repulsive' thing like the average
country town street carnival on the
general public, but from no angle at
our viewpoint can we see it that way.
AS a matter, of course, our opinion
in the matter was not asked, neither
are we preSumlnS 10 DelieNe thdt oui
opinion was, or even now is wanted,
and it is reasonably certain that
those responsible for this proposed
assembling within our gates OF
these world renowned, soul-inspiring
entertainers, care but little what we
think of it, and we, likewise have
our opinions and occasionally feel
that we have duties to perform.
There are two things you may figure
on for certain. This carnival will
not do our community the least bit
of good and in its tracks scars will be
left. Yes, some of our boys, and
others will be done harm.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-06-14

Sublimely ridiculous is perhaps the
most appropriate term for allowing
carnival to come to Hartford just
now. In an hour of national agony
when we are sending our sons to
foreign fields of war; when we are
rationed to conserve food; when we
are practicing the limit of self-denial
to support our armies in the fields, to
indulge the wasteful extravaganza of
carnival. Unless we misjudge the
spirit of the good people of Hart
ford the carnival will be given a
wide berth.
