German soldiers, using the weapons

German workingmen, using the rifles
and ammunition they themselves have
manufacturer I'm the munitions plants,
will be ranging the thoroughfares Of

There will be a rout Of soldiers back

the German soldier modified, as long
as the German soldier is on foreign soil,
but once back on his own soil, with de-
feat staring him in the face, the Ger

The workmen will seize the factories ;

Enough time has elapsed since Presi-
dent Wilson's note TO Germany TO make
IL safe assertion that Wilson is hold
ing the German rulers up against the
hot blaze Of public opinion like toast
before the fire. He has given them a
chance to squirm off the fork, volun-
tarily, but he has made It plain to them
and TO the German people, as well as
30 the rest OF the world, that, IL they
don't get off the fork themselves, they
will be thrust up against the fire of a
revolution, as fierce a flame as the Gar
OF Russia tried to face.
There is no open talk in Washington
OF trying to moderate the storm that is
coming in Germany.
The world does not want TO look on,
agasp, at a repetition I'm Germany of
the Russian horror, and when we finally
talk to German leaders, whoever they
may be, we don't want TO be dealing
with German BolshevilSi, as unreliable,

Germany and Austria Face
Winter of Food Scarcity

"IF YOU CAN GET IT." as the German
papers say.
But the British food ministry had re-
ceived advices from Dutch workmen
that in the large industrial centers Of
Rhineland, where the men work hard
and long and where efforts are made to
get them the most possible and best pos
slble food. the German workmen are
lucky If they can get 81 ounces a week,
despite the official ration Of up TO 7
ounces.
In Austria the situation is very much
worse.
Ration in Austria.
Austria has rationed meat at last, and
has given out pink and white coupons.
The total amount Of all meat allowed
under the new ratlOning system is 31s
ounces a week. Pink coupons are for
beef and better meats; white for infer
i0r meat such as horseflesh. Three meat
less days are compulsory in Austria and
Two in Hungary. No meat Is Obtainable
In restaurants, and Il IS often impossible
to get the allowed 80 ounces for private
homes.
EARLIER In the year some Rumanian
pork was imported at about 81 a pound.
But this has run out and for several
weeks theer have been no Imports from
Rumania.
On top Of all this, in Germany GER
tainly, and probably in Austria, an or
der has been issued forbiddlng any dis
tribution Of meat whatever for four
weeks az weeks in Bavarla) presum-
ably because of the short supply. The
date Of the ban is to be announced

II the Germans, in taking things into

There are republicans in Germany,
not a few, who have kept silence for
decades.
In the United States there are liter

many OF whose parents left Germany
and came here after the revolution Of
1913, who believe in the republican form
OF government for Germany.
Just as thousands of Russians hurried
to Russia, after the revolution. to try
to help establish a republic there, so
floods Of American Germans may be ex-

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 25.-'rhe food sit
uation In Germany and Austria IS going
TO be worse this winter than at any
previous period OF the war.
The harvest has been short and meat
IS growing scarcer and scarcer.
A study Of the German papers shows
a constantly growing official fear Of
what the worst winter" OF the war
may bring, in view also Of the increas-
ing allied military success.
Beef prices IN Austrla-Hungary have
now gone up TO 800 per cent. more than
what they were before the war; In Ger
many they have gone up go per cent.
Before the war there were 27O00,000
pigs In Germany; last year there were
100000. Now there are only about
100000.
These figures are ofllcial-from the
British Food Ministry. They are the lat
tst information TO be received from Ger
many from accurate sources.
With the bad harvest and the short
age Of grain the meat supply takes on
new Importance as the winter ap-
proaches.
Here, therefore, are some more facts
about the meat situation IN Germany:
The meat ration I'm Berlin and Stutt-
gart (why favored is not known is S%
ounces a week; other larger towns an
nounce the ration as 7 ounces, and
country places from 5h to 61s ounces

Something more must be done than

their place in the industry OF the

For the steadying and facilitation

than the immediate determination OF
the taxes that are to be levied for
1918. 1919. and 1920. AS much of the
burden of taxation must be lifted
from business as sound methods of
financing the Government will permit,
and those who conduct the great es-
sentiaI industries of the country must
be told as exactly as possible what

will be expected to meet in the years
Immediately ahead of them. 1t will
