MT. Baker reviewed the task ac- complished by the United States and this country's part in winning the war. The reason the victory was ours, he said was because the American peo- pie were strong ana Flrlle. uue III d great measure to laws which the con sumers league had placed on the stat utes.

WARNED AGAINST THE
 DANGER OF BOLSHEVSM

New York, Nov. 21 - Warning against the danger of BoIshevism in the process of democratizing Germany was given by the socialist newspaper Vorwaerts as long ago as October IS, in an article urging support of the new government under Prince Maximilian, which then had been formed with so- cialistic cooperation.
 'The working classes must use their power to break down the propaganda of Bolshevik resolutions of confused, irresponsible persons. who endeavor to incite the worknen to senseless strikes against the new government" says an article in the newspaper of the date given. received in this city. Not through the creation of Boise vik chaos, or the unchaining of a civil war. can the internal remuneration of Germany be brought about Only by means of a peaceful revolution do we intend to effect the transition to de- mocracy. Until the conclusion of peace and even after the serious times still are in store for us. We will weather them ill the safe conscious ness that the future belongs to the re- conciliation Of the nations, to democ- racy and socialism"

Walcott, an assistant to Food Administrator Herbert c. Hoover. MT Walcott, who recently returned from Europe. was a speaker at a food conservation meeting.
 There are three numbers on the lips of every boy and girl in France" :" he said.
 They are the First, Second and Twenty Sixth. Those three divisions saved France. They saved the world"
 MT. Wolcott reviewed the progress of the German drive of last spring, telling how the allies were driven back three and four miles a day until on July 15 the Germans were within thir- ty-three miles of Paris.
 "The American generals said: We can hold" continued MT Walcott "The French generals were in doubt We haven't held for three weeks they said. Our men are tired and worn out
 At a. m. on July IS the marines of the Second Division were thrown in. then the rest of the Second, then the First and Twenty Sixth. We had sixty per cent casualties in 48 hours On the fourth day the Germans weakened. Then the American gen. erals decided to throw them back. Ii was the most ghastly battle in the worlds history. Slowly Inc German hordes began to give way until eight days later they were twelve miles back It was the turning point in his- tory. France was saved. The world was saved"
 Regarding the food situation n Europe, Mr. Walcott characterized Germany as a "big bully trying tc play upon our sympathies to get more food than the country needs There was never more despicablt cowardicc than Germany is showing now on this food question: he said. q have little sympathy for Ger many's cry for food. I am more con, cerned about feeding those whom Ger. many starved If there is anything lief after we have cared for those UT, i fortunate people, then Germany car 1 have it."
 MT.

HOLLAND HAS POWER
 TO EXPEL FORMER KAISER

Paris, Nov. 21-,In discussing the position of the former German en- peror, the Temps says: ''The govern ment of Holland has always the power to eXpel an undesirable guest. Let it use this power"
 The Temps admits that Hollands receiving the kaiser could be under stood while it was not known what was going on in Germany, when re- fusal might mean that he would be lynched at frontier post. but adds: Nothing can excuse the outrage that the man who caused the death of millions should enjoy peaceable ex- istence in country which would have lost it's independence if we had been defeated.
 If William is placed aboard a boat or conducted to the Belgian frontier, the allies will know, what they ought to do with him. If he is conducted to the German frontier, the Berlin gov- ernment will have an opportunity to show the depth of it's republican con- victions by the ardor it displays in punishing the authors of the war"

WoRL DIVIDE PROHIBITION
 PROJECT ABANDONED

Columbus, O., Nov. 21-No attempt will be made at this time to formulate a league of nations to owrk for world wtae prohibition, it was stated by leaders participating in the worldwide prohibition conference here today. To undertake such at this time, it was pointed out, would be useless in view of the small representation of foreign countries .occasioned by the world war.
 It is expected that the only steps to be taken toward such organization now will be for the Anti-Saloon league of America as the principal factor in the movement to extend an invitation to prohibition organizations of other countries to participate in a future meeting when the worldwide organization will be formed.
