XX7hat Will Happen to
w The Socialists?

On the other hand, there is one impor
tant fact that makes directly against the
Socialists. 1t is we'll known that great
many Germans have hitherto voted with
the Socialists without being themselves
convinced Socialists They voted with
them only in order to make the most Wig
orous possible protest against the old Ger
man government and all that it stood for
Thus there were districts in Greater Berlin
which were carried by the Socialists, al
though it was certain that the people living
same thing was more or less true all over
Germany. Now it is highly probable that
very many such men, now that they see
socialism about to be put into effect, will
draw back and vote for less radical candi-
dates. Many facts have also reached US by
cable going to show that the returning
troops by no means given over wholly
to socialistic views.
Elections just held do not give concIu-
sive basis for forecasting the result of the
elections for delegates to the national CON
stitutional convention. In the election in
Anhalt the Socialist secured majority Of
about $4,000 in total of $4,000 votes
whereas there was majority against them
of about 5000 in a total of 5000 in the
election of 1912. On the other hand in
the election in the former Grand Duchv of
Mecklenburg for members of the state con-
stitutional convention the Socialists elected
only two members out Of total of twen-
ty-two, the Liberals electing sixteen, but

'Without joking, if we had had him

"He has queer way of leading

''In short, he is queer fish-the
Grand Duke. He is more solemn than
an old woman's nightcap.'
But does anybody know why?" said
a poilu who had taken no part in the
conversation up TO now. "To judge the
faults or conduct of a man you must
first know his motives.'
"You talk like wisdom personifed.

The adjutant was returning up the
road, his face as melancholy as ever.
Versepied made a single jump
"Adjufant!" he called, taking the pipe
out of his mouth
The adjutant bounced on him.

"Adjutantl" was all he could blubber

The adjutant took the paper which
the soldier handed him, and read it.

"What is that written on it,"
1t began to grow dark. The five or
six men had to draw very close in order
to decipher the letters cut with a knife
at the base of the bowl.

This meeting adopted a resolution de-
claring against calling constitutional con-
vention on the ground that the bourgeois
elements hoped thereby to wrest power
from the hands of the Socialists. On the
other hand, it voted to- call a national con-
gress of Workmen's and Soldiers councils
at Berlin, and this is the gathering that
has been held this week at Berlin The
question of calling the constitutional con-

NTHE assembling on Monday of the Ma
tional Congress of Soldiers and
N Workmen's councils at Berlin
marked considerable progress tow
ard clearing up the muddled political stu
alton in Germany. For more than month
in fact, ever since the Socialist Revolu-
tion-the course of future DEVELOPMENTS
seemed extremely obscure. Was there to be
constitutional convention or not? And
when would it be elected. when begin it's
work of giving the German people new
political system? Would there be an i'm
mediate swing to fully developed socialism,
with the naturalization of all important in
dustries? Would there be dictatorship of
Tire proletariat? Would German unity itself
3 be preserved, or would the country break
up INTO several independent republics.
Would any form of government be evolved
from the present chaos which the Allies and
the United States would regard as capable
Of signing the peace treaty in behalf of Ger
many?
All these questions have been asked daily
on both sides of the Atlantic for more than
month, and the dispatches from Germany
have been eagerly watched for answers to
them. During the first week or two of the
revolutionary regime the uncertainty and
confusion were at the maximum. Any snis-
ter outcome then seemed possible-the
whole economic structure of the country
might be wrecked in helter-skelter at
tempt to nationalize industries; capital
might be largely swept away on a mad wave
of Bolshevism, and Germany itself might
be dissolved into it's component states or
provinces. DR.. Liebnecht and his SPARTA
cdes' then appeared to be a tremendous
menace to anything like stability and order
and Kurt Eisner head of the revolutionary
government of. Bavaria, seemed disposed to
break away from the Berlin authorities and
set up a separate state. Secession plans
were also believed to be entertained in
Western Germany.

breach first occurred; no Chancellor can, un-
der the old constitution, derive his author
ity from his predecessor. But the councils
did not accept the view that Socialist min
listers could take over the power from the
old regime the new power established In
Germany was revolutionary power; hence
1t was for the councils to exercise it. In
other words, the government must be the
creature of the councils. That view was
put forth by the executive committee Of the
councils and it was accepted by Ebert and
ms colleagues. Hence a new system was
set up several days after Ebert took over

Ties, the old Socialists and the Independents

The opposition to the Socialists has not
thus far been conducted in way that
promises success at the polls. rhe Con-

we could light a fire on the earthen
floor and send the wooden cinders fly

We were joyful, awaiting the supper
hour. Meriadec, a Breton from Fou-
CERES, felt his soul attuned to the occa-
sion, for while he peeled potatoes he
hummed the old Christmas songs of his
birthplace.

Have you finished singing out of
your nose all the songs of your grand
mother" cried railing Partisan to the
sentimental Breton.
The former answered to the name of
Versepied. He was the prototype Of
the Partisan street wit, full of persi-
fage and solemn featured irony
Meriadec, without answering him,
glanced outside through the open door
of the barn and said:
"Ah There goes Real!'
''The Grand Duke! He's certainly a
lugubrious bird
The officer whom the Partisan thus
designated was an adjutant of forty
years, very tall, with blue eyes set high
in his head, and with a face so impene-
trable that no one had yet seen him
crack a smile. The twelve men busy

Three Races VIII
. Unite to Form a
Democratic State

Basel. Switzerland. oct. 24.-The
Central executive committee elected
on October S by the National Coun-
eli of Slovenes. Crotians and Ser
bians at AgTam has issued a
statement that the committee viii
at once assume the political direc-
ton Of these nationalities, and de-
claring for the creation OF soyer-
eign state on a democratic basis.
The following principles have
been enunciated by the committee:
First-to bring about q union of
all the Slovenes, Croatians and Ser
bians on racial basis without ref-
erence to their present political
frontiers.
second-to create sovereign
state on a democratic basis.
Third--to see that the nationali- J.
ties represented by the council have
d delegate at the peace conference.
The committee rejects the plan
contained in the imperial manifes~
TO for the settlement OF rationale
problems in Austria. 1t will guar
antee the free development Of all
national najorities which may form
a part OF the state organized by it.
Neighboring states viii be assured
free access to the sea. providing
that they make no attempts on the
constitutional rights of the state and
on its territorial integrity.
The committee finally urges con-
cord among the nationalitieg in or
der to create great national state.

Won HindenbN1,g
Urges Support
of Peace MOOeS

With the French Army in France.
Oct. 24.-Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg in an order to German officers
in the field referring to negotiations
for an armistice declares he ap-
proves the peace moves and is oblig-
ed to support the government. He
asks that the confidence reposed in
him in the days of success be con-
ttnued. "
The German Crown Prince in an
order to the group of armies under
hig command reminds the officers
OF the responsibility they incur when
they lose a position or modify the
line in any way without orders. CO.
pies of these documents have fallen
into the hands OF the French.
Political events OF the past few
days." says Won Hindenburg, have
produced the most profound impress
sion, upon the army, notably upon
the officers. 1t is my duty to sup
port the government instituted by his
majesty.
II approve the steps taken toward
peace. The German army has a
superiority over all others in that
the troops and officers have never
engaged in politics. We desire to
adhere to that principle. expect
that the confidence that was accord
ed me in the days Of success will
be all the stronger now"
The order Of the Crown Prince is
shorter and almost curt. 1t SAYS:
The exchange Of diplomatic notes
gives me the occasion to recall my
order according to which each Off
Ger in command engages his respon-
sibiIity when he loses a position or
.0nodiTiee his lines nf resistance with
out express orders"
Another order which ernanates
from German high command says:
Diplomatic negotiations with a
view to terminating the war have
begun. Their conclusion will be all
the more favorable in proportion as
we succeed in keeping the army well
in hand, in holding the ground con-
quered, and in doing harm to the
enemy. These principles should
guide the direction Of the combat in
the days that are to follow"
All these documents were taken
from the Fifth Bavarian division.

American patrols early today, ,pene-
trated deeply into the German lines
in the region OF Grandpre and north
of verdun. The enemy has been
using his artillery and machine guns
freely along the entire front. There
has been little change in the situa-
tfon since last night.
AeriaEactivdty today was less than
on Wednesday when conditions were
almost ideal.
The bright moonlight last night
enabled American aviators to bomb
a large area behind the German lines.
One of the American bombing squad
rons dropped 3,077 kilos Of bombs on
the Bots de Barricourt and the Bois

bombs on towns behind the Ameri-
can lines occupied only by civilians
and without great military value.
