AGREEMENT REACHED
AMONG GERMANS
All Political Power Is to Be in the Hands
of the Socialist Republic and Sol
diers' and Workmen's Council.

Copenhagen, Nov. 25.--An agreement
has been reached between the German
soldiers and workmens council and the
government, it is officially announced in
Berlin. The agreement provides:
"First--All political power is to be in
the hands of the German Socialist repub-
lie and the soldiers and workmen's
council.
Second Their aim is to defend and
develop what has been achieved by the
revolution and to suppress all counter
revolutionary activities"
"Third-Pending the election of repre-
sentatiyes of the soldiers and work
mems councils to an executive council of
the German republic, the executive coun-
Gil in Berlin is to exercise its functions.
"Fourth--The appointment and dis
missal of all members of the various
legislative bodies OF the republic and,
until the final constitution is estab-
lished, of Prussia, are to be made by the
central executive council, which also
has the right of control.
Fifth Before the cabinet appoints
assistant ministers the executive council
must be consulted.
"Sixth-A convention Of deputies
drawn from the soldiers and workmen's
councils is to be summoned as soon as
possible"

most of them will be wasted.

that she has forgotten that there were

she did not need the fresh ones she

of the grand fleet the German people
could have been goaded by hunger into
revolution. Without supremacy at sea
the steady flow of men and munitions
from America would have been altogeth-
er out of the question. The most criti-
cal iuncture of the whole struggle was
the one at which possible mastery of
the sea lanes by submarines put the
whole allied cause for few months in
serious jeopardy. When the submarine
menace was conquered the issue became
one Of time alone
For twenty years the German gov
eminent devoted itself assiduously TO
the creation of fleet which might
some day hope to challenge England.
II was the German hope that by attri-
ton accident or some fortunate circum-
stance their feet might be enabled to
face the English on something like equal
terms. But that opportunity never
came. The one encounter off Jutland
bank was enough. The whole truth con
corning that sea fight has never been
told but when the Germans are willing
TO give the world the real facts concern
ing their own losses there will be no
need to ask why the Kiel hotilla kept
close to shore for the rest of the war.
England may have been slow in her
military preparations her statesmen
and soldiers may have bungled things
in Mesopotamia and at the Dardaneles;
but the handling of her great navy has
been superb from first to last. As a
demonstration of what sea power can
do toward the winning of war the
world has never seen anything so i'm
pressiye as the events of the last four
years.-Boston Herald.

BRINGING ALIENS INTO THE FOLD
Many Public and Private Organizations
Cooperate.

In its active campaign to bring aliens
into the great body of American citizens
the bureau of naturalization has the as
sistance of many different organizations,
both public and private in nature. Its
list of the aliens in the country is kept
up to a considerable extent through the
aid of factories, school children, dis
trict nurses, the organized charities, the
Sons and Daughters Of the American
Revolution, the state councils of nation
al defense, and the county organizations
affiliated with them.

WANTS WILSON TO GO.
London Times Says He Is Needed at
Paris.

London, Nov. -Disavowing any
wish to intervene in American criticism
of the visit of President Wilson TO Paris,
the London Times says that his presence
in Paris is much desired. President
Wilson, it says, 'has done incalcnlable
services to the allied cause. His name is
one to conjure with in Europe, we are all
idealists now in international affairs
We look to him to help us realize those
ideals and to reconstruct better and
fairer world.
For this reason and because he is the
head of the American republic, we hope
that party controversies will not prevent
him from coming to Europe. There may
doubtless be difficulties surrounding his
attendance at the actual peace confer
ence, but even more important than the
actual conference are the discussions that
must precede it, and in these President
Wilson's presence not only is desirable,
but is indispensable"

Two Housewives-which Is Right?

Martha plans her meals a week in adj

children have gone to school, she sits in
a quiet corner where no one will disturb
her and makes out a complete menu for
the week.
First she reads in the morning paper
the list of foods and prices published by
the food administration. This she con-
suits to see which ere the abundant
fruits and vegetables and which are

Helena, Mont has proved that it is pos
sible to run a 600acre ranch without the
aid of mems labor She knows, because
she has successfully conducted her man

cattle and sheep.
Mrs. Hathaway began life as school

ried Mr.. Hathaway, assistant state SUI
perintendent Of schools, who owned a
320-acre ranch adjoining her own After
the death of her husband Mrs Hathaway
farmed the two ranches 1t was difficult
to get masculine help, so she introduced
modern machinery, that could be oper-
ated by women, and announced to the
countryside that hereafter her place was
