Control of German Fleet by ReVolu-
tionists May Interfere With Carry
Ing Out of Armistice Provision.
Former Emperor Execrated In Hoi-
land by Belgian Refugees-Baden
to Remain Part Of German Empire.
London, Nov. ia republic has
been proclaimed at Berlin, according
to dispatches from Berne.
The grand duke of Hesse has been
placed under preventive arrest, &C
cording to a Darmstadt dispatch.
Germany's new provisional govern
ment will be alfred; that is to say,
the bourgeoise parties will snot be
represented in it. This will not be
because of their unwillingness to
participate, but because the Social
lists, after a conference with the rep
resentatives of the former majority
party in the reichstag, definitely re-
fused to permit the bourgeois to en-
ter the new government.
German Socialists and Independent
Socialists have reached an agree
ment to form a Joint cabinet from
both parties. This cabinet, it is said,
consists of Philip Scheidemann, vice
president of the reichstag; Herr
Landeburg, member of the reichstag,
and Herr Getiert, Socialists, and
Hugo Haase, Richard Barth, editor Of
the Vorwaerts, and Wilhelm Bitt-
mann, member of the reichstag, In
dependent.
The provisional government COM
posed of all parties, formed at Karls-
ruhe, has issued a proclamation an
nouncing that Baden will remain part
of the German nation.
Control of the German feet by rev.
olutionists, factions Of whom are re-
ported to have urged resistance to
the allies and United States, may in
terfere with the carrying out Of the
amended armistice provision that
vessels designated to be interned be
ready to leave German ports seven
days after cessation Of hostilities.
William HohenzollOrn, the former
German emperor, has arrived at
Count Bentinck's chateau Of Mid
dachten at Velp, near Arnheim. 1t
is added that the former German
empress is Ill at Potsdam. At one
station in Holland the former kaiser
was execrated by crowd Of Belgian
refugees.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is
not in Holland, according to a tele-
gram from Berlin. He remains at
main headquarters and adheres to
the new government. The telegram
adds that Crown Prince Rupprecht OF
Bavaria, commander Of the great
northern army group, has not fed, as
some reports declared.
A great mystery still is being made
of the destination in Holland Of VIII
liam Hohenzollern, the former Ger
man emperor. Three different coun-
try seats of the Bentinck family now
are mentioned as his temporary
abode

LOCAL UNITED WAR
WORK CAMPAIGN

The United War Work campaign OF
the county was opened last Saturday
afternoon by a parade, headed by the
Celina band, and a meeting at the City
Hall, the weather being unfit for an ont
door meeting, After an invocation by
Rev. Motter addresses were made by the
chairman, Judge Younger, Prof. J. w.
Pogue, DIR. L. M. Otis. who has since
gone to the training camp at Oglethorpe,
Ca, and DR.. Rolf, who recently return
ed from the front in France.
Especial emphasis was laid on the fact
that money for war work in the camps
and in Europe, is now more urgently
needed than ever, and the closing of the
war has My added to the burden. The
stricken ountries of Europe must be
helped in numerous ways, and all should
give until it hurts. What make the sit
uation worse is the approach of winter.
American cannot afford to live in abund.
ance and see the victims of miilarism
and the lust for power suffer anywhere.
The boys in the service will not be
neglected you can be sure, but they are
likely to rob themselves to afford relief
to sufferers in Europe among whom their
lot is present cast if we do not dig down
deep enough to provide for all.
Everybody knows something about the
seven great organizations engaged in
the work of administering to tine wants
of our boys and suffering humanity in
war-torn Europe. Do your part in the
crisis that is almost overwhelming. The
boys overseas will thank you for rot
only making their surr undings more
cheerful and comfortable but that they
may tighten and brighten the lives of
suffering men, women and children with
whom they come in contact. There is
much they can do with your help.

taken to guarantee that Germany's
