The whole fact Of the matter Is that
those who wish TO rid the city of the

from the French. CGnoufage They
say they are seeking to improve the

Now there IL n referendum attached
to the charter changes resolution sent
TO the Legislature and II the board
wanted the question OF its retention
or abolition settled by an election they
would have had II with the vote on
the referendum.
Consequently we have the spectacle
OF the board carrying out the wishes
of tho Civic association by providing
a charter election petition for them
and we have the CIVIC association ad-
vocating charter changes which rest
upon a referendum election sought by
the administrative board. Yet both
oppose what they were first to seek.
As a comedian was wont to remark
once upon time: II is to laugh.
OF course, the reason for this change
OF sides lie apparent, II studied.
The board evidently feels that adop-
ton OF the charter changes now be-
fore the legislature, even with a refer
endum. might be regarded as an en-
dorsement of the charter changes. 1t
10 possible they figure that with the
South Side satisfied the city might
adopt the charter changes in refer
endum election. while IL they wait un-
til charter commissioners have been
elected and these have drawn up a
new city chatter and the new city
charter Is adopted, at least three or
four years will have to elapse and
that means so much more time for
the board to remain In existence.

any frontier without proper pass
port wise. There are hundreds Of
men in just this fix in Switzerland.
To them Switzerland Is a prison
without walls.
With all the men i'm the
war, who does the common
labor i'm Germany?
Women and prisoners. Germany
holds nearly 100000 prisoners,
mainly Russians.
How many sons has the
kaiser i'm the war? Have they
all escaped injury?
The kaiser has six sons in the
war. All have escaped injury ex-
cept Joachim, who was slightly
wounded

Where does Germany get
oil for its submarines? 1 hear
their machinery must swim In
oil to be effective.
Rumania. The wells taken over
after the German occupation of
Rumania provide not only Oil for
submarines, but gasoline for air
planes and automobiles. Had Ru-
mania been able to repu1se the
Germans, the status of the war
might be different today.
Are British and French Of
ficers taken prisoner required
to work in Germany?
No. In the German caste sys-
tenn the officers form a class of
supermen who must never soil
their hands with manual labor.
Hence, to permit even a pris-
oner of the officer class of an
enemy nation to do manual labor
would, in the eyes of German
militarists, react against the SUI
perior quality of the German Of
ficer.
After prisoners are ex.
changed are they allowed to
60 back to the fighting?
No. They may do clerical duty
or work behind the lines.
y
Is It true that Germany's
factories are working night
and day manufacturing arti-
cles to dump upon the world
markets when the war is
over?
No. Germany needs all her raw
materials and energy in munition
work.
However, war needs have caus-
ed her to centralize all manufac-
ture, and Germany as a nation
now operates all the basic tools of
production and the lines of distri-
button. If permitted, she will un-
doubtedly produce and distribute
as a nation after the war. And
her great production and low costs
will make her even more for
midable competitor than before
the war.
How does Germany restrict
passenger traffic?
Fares have been raised 100 Der
cent, and permits must be OBJ

tanned to travel from place to
place.
Who Is the richest person
in Germany?
The kaiser. Bertha Krupp is
second.
How does Germany raise
its money for the Red Cross?
Mainly by lottery. Prizes are
offered and chances are sold all
over the country.
Are there women soldiers
in Germany?
No regularly organized ones
as in Russia and Hungary.
What are caution cards?
Caution cards are posted in all
public places in France and Ger
many. They are addressed main
ly to soldiers and say: BE care
full. Watch your tongue. Re-
member, the ears of the enemy
are listening
Are all Americans in Ger
many interned?
Not all. But those who are not
interned are required to report to
the police once week.
Are travellers searched il
they seek to enter a country
at war?
Only those persons whose con-
duct appearance or history have
excited suspicion are searched by
the officials of the allied coun-
tries.
Germany is more strict, and
few strangers escape being Search
ed at the border. At Basel, how
ever, an interurban electric line
runs over the border from Swift
zerland into Germany. Many per-
SONS have business that requires
them to make almost daily trips
over the border. The guards get
to know them and they meet with
little difficulty.
I saw a reference In a pa
per the other day to the ''un-
foreground railroad" frOb Bel
gium to France. What is
meant by that?
BY underground railroad Is
meant the same system of merci-
full cooperation that existed in the
United States before the Civil war
to aid slaves to make their way
into free territory.
The Belgian underground rail-
road has for its purpose the help
ing Of Belgian girls to escape Ger
man soldiers.
What Is meant by suspect
list?
Suspect lists are made up of
names of persons who are under
suspicion, but who, for lack of evil
dence or other reasons, cannot be
arrested.
For instance, n>Switzerland the
Germans have thousands and the
allies hundreds of secret service
agents.
Every stranger whose presence
there cannot be accounted for Is
watched by one side or the other,
and sometimes by both.
Switzerland being neutral, he
cannot be arrested, but any of the
belligerent countries can refuse
to wise his passport. This makes
him virtually a prisoner in Swift

kaiser's armies pressed on unOpposed,
took what they desired In spite of q
signed peace, and Russia appeared to
be about tolpass completely under con-
troll Of Germany. America stood
aghast at 1.-THE prank freedom had
played, and American opinion turned
largely against Russia, but thinking
men refusA to give up hope. Rus
sia was am btill is incapable Of offer
ing resistaEce, but Russia is not re-
signed to autocracy. 1t devolves upon
others to fight for the freedom Rus
Sia must have.
The experience Of other nations has
been that men who loved freedom
were willing to fight for 1t. and to die
for It If necessary. The Russian at
titude of nonresistance was something
new in the world, and Is hard to UNI
derstand. The bolsheviki represent
ed the extreme idea of liberty. To
them freedom meant not the right OF
the majority to choose their form or
government, but the right of the indi-
vidual to be free from all forms OF
governmental restraint. They would
tear down the old order completely,
at one stroke, and set up the mill
lenium. They would divide the land,
the factories and the tools among the
workers, and have no masters hence
forth.
Even in Russia, however, there were
dissenters. Some took up arms; and
the bolsheviki, who fought the Ger
mans not at all, fought their brothers
most ferociously. The result was an
archy, lawlessness, massacre, the dis
organization of the railways and the
failure Of the food supply. The mil
lenium refused to come at the mere
decree Of the bolsheviki. 1t was shown
that there must be organization and
government Of some sort.
Russia will not longer fight side by
side with her former allies. So in
siduous has been the German propa-
ganda that, in many instances, Russian
hatred Of the allies seems to be deep.
er. than hatred Of Germany.
Therefore the United States cannot
render direct aid to the struggling peo-
pie Of Russia. She cannot send them
armies and supplies, for they have re-
fused to do battle for themselves. To
fight for Russia she must fight on the
western front. She must do her share
toward humblIng the kaiser, and fore
ing him to relinquish his grasp ON the
East.
