that he had been advanced to the
rank of captain was not known to his
relatives here until the receipt Of the

VALLEY FORGE DAYS
Americans in Russia Showed in
and Suffering Hardships

Archangel Nov. %, (By the Asso-
ciated Press)-In log huts and wind
shelters made of birch boughs, Am
erican troops are holding the line
against the Bolsheyiki on the middle
sector of the northern front in the
region Of Kadish. After ten weeks of
fighting in swamps and thick under
growth, the Americans now are
showed in and are bivouacked along
an ice-f1lled stream on the opposite
the enemy.
Under British command and with
British forces aiding them, the Am
erican infantrymen oil this sector
probably have had more fighting and
more hardships than other American
units in Russia. The force has been
operating between the Dvina river
and the Vologda. railroad through q
territory Of sWamps and forests.
The campaign began early in Aug
ust when q British and French force
entered SeIetskoe. They were forced
to move to another sector and the
Bolsheviki occupied the town only to
be driven out a few weeks later when
American reinforcenerts arrived
Seletsl1oe has changed hands twice
and the village of kadish, 20 miles
south of Selctskoe, was captured by
the Americans early in the fighting.
The village now is in the enemy's
hands. American troops also are op-
Grating on the MehreDga river, so
miles south of SeIetskoe and in
more thicl1ly populated country The
villages there are strongly anti-Bol-
shevik and Russian detachments are
aiding the Allies. On Wednesday
Russian detachment surprised and
defeated an enemy force, killing near
~ 100.

GERMANY and AUSTRIA
PROVOKED WORLD WAR
Disclosures of Official Tele-
grams Show Treachery
of Kaiser.

London. Nov 26, (British Wireless
Service) )-Newspaper here devote
much space to discussions of the rev.
Citations made by Bavaria in publish
ing official telegrams which passed
between Berlin and Munich just be-
fore the war broke out III 1914. They
agree that the guilt Of Germany and
Austria, persistentIy denied during
the past four years. has been proved
by the BaVarian government.
Germany has been challenged
again and again to produce the whole
correspondence between Berlin and
Vienna during July, 1914" says the
Times. She never has dared pro-
duce it. Will the new government
dare just to show the gulf between 1T
and it's predecessors? Bavaria has
proved sho was an accomplice Of
Berlin and Vienna. She supported
them until they lost and now she shall
not whiten her character in the eyes
of the Allies by blackening the rec
ords Of her confederotes.''
THE Kaiser, after taking every
possible step to throw the Allies off
their guard struck, expecting in
few weeks to have the world at his
feet" says the Mail THE revela-
tions made by Bavaria will not sur
prise the Allies nor dispassionate his
torians in neutral countries"
Thus was the blood bath prepared.
Is the Kaiser to be allowed to go
without trial?'' is the comment of
the Express.
The Morning Post says that DR..
Solf, in appealing for modification of
the armistice terms is following ex7
actly the tactics disclosed int he pub
lished kilograms.
1T now appears that his represen-
tatlons of starving conditions In Ger
many are false the newspaper adds,
mo doubt there is hardship in Ger
many, but whose fanlt is that? So
far as the associated governments are
concerned, domestic dissenslons in
Germany serve merely to put them on
the alert against that treachery which
is ingrained in the German"

SPARTACUS PARTY IS

Question Of National Assembly is Par
amount Issue in Germany
Secession Threatened

Copenhagen, Nov. 26.-keenest in
terest is felt throughout the German
empire in the result in the conference
of the representatives Of the federal
states at Berlin. The questions of
summoning the national assembly and
insuring the unity of the empire are
being discussed everywhere. 1t is
generally expected that a decision
will be reached to call the national
assembly at the earliest possible mo-
ment otherwise Bavaria, Wurttem-
burg and Baden are reported to be
considering the form alton of q separ-
ate republic. HeSse, Hanover and
German-Austria also are credited
with demanding a meeting OF the ma
uonal assembly.
1t is stated that feeling at Brem-
en- and Kiel is against the Spartacus
party. At Bremen the soldiers and
workmen's council voted 81 to 20, in
favor of the national assembly. The
sailors council at Kiel has denounced
the action of the Spartacus adherents.
Philip Scheidemann, writing for the
Vorwaerts, ascribes the change in the
situation to DR.. Karl Liebknecht's at

Enemy Delegate to Armistice Con-
ference Felt Position Keenly
SAW GEN. F0CH ONLY TWICE
Seemed That Ride to MarshaTs Head
quarters Was PurpOscly Prolonged
to Prepare ENJOYS For Hard
Terms of Truce.

Amsterdam, Nov. 27.-The armis-
tice conferences between the German
delegates and Marshal Foch and his
associates early this month were
carried out in the most business like
manner possible and apparently with
out notable incidents, according to an
account of the conference given the
Berlin Vossische Zeitung by q men,
Der of the German party.
After the French met the German
commissioners they were driven for
ten hours in automobiles to an ap-
pointed rendezvous. SIT seemed to
me-" said the narrator that the drive
was Intentionally prolonged in order
to carry us through the devastated
provinces and prepare us for the
hardest conditions which hatred and
revenge might demand. One of the
Frenchmen pointed to a. heap of ruins,
saying behold st. Quentin.
We entered a train with blinds
drawn in the evening, and awoke in
the morning in the midst of the Forest
of Compiegne, surrounded by soldiers.
Feeling of Enmity Shown.
''There were two trains one oc-
cupied by Marshal Foch and his staff
and the other by the Germans. In
these we lived, worked and negotiated
for three days. We had everything in
abundance. There was nothing to
find fault with. The great enmity
and hatred that apparently prevailed
against us were shown, however, in
the negotiations and in the terms i'm
posed"
The narrator remarks that the
Il,
Wemyss, British representative, main
tanned a cold attitude never tenn
pered by a friendly word
Saw Eoch But Twice.
Marshal Foch, whom we only saw
twice, at the beginning and at the
end of the conference, is a stern,
plain man. He did not speak a sin
gle word to us in the tone which for
merly distinguished the chivalrous
French nation.
'It is not true that Foch told us
there could not be any question of ne
gotiations, only the imposition of con-
ditions, and whatever coldness he dis
played was never ill-mannered or
Nothing to Negotiate.
Really, there was nothing to nego-
tiate. We pointed out the technical
impossibility of some conditions.
Finally we were obliged to
sign"
During the discussion the French
handed the Germans the Paris news
papers announcing the abdication of
Emperor William.
1--WE observed no smile of triumph
on their faces adds the writer, "but
could discern their hatred"

Administration Urged to
Secure Preliminary Peace
With Utmost Speed-Lead-
ers Seek National Unity.

Berlin, Nov. 26 via Copenhagen
The German federal conference has
adopted the following resolutions:
There is absolute necessity for all
German tribes to act in unison for
the maintenance of Germany's unity
and to fight all the separatist move
ments.
The proposal for a speedy summon
ing of the national assembly meets
general appreciation.
Until the meeting of the national as
scmbly, the soldiers and workmen's
councils will represent the peoples

The administration of the empire is
requested to work for the securing Of
a preliminary peace with the utmost
speed.
DR.. August Mueller, minister of
economy, gave warning against un-
authorized encroachments on the
money and credit system by compH-
Gated governmental machinery. The
following resolution then was unani-
mously adopted.
1T is absolutely necessary that
banks and other credit institutions
work on the same DaSlS ana III the
same form as hitherto to maintain
: Ger1nany's economic affairs, secure
for the country supplies Of provisions
and raw materials and obtain credit
abroad for the German republic
Among the various speakers was
Kurt Eisner socialist leader of the
revolution in Munich, who warned
against any attempt to establish pure
sociaIistic state while disorder was
a&eigning He said the department Of
foreign affairs must have a staff of
men of unimpeachable conduct and
that a president must be elected so
that Germany as a whole might be
able to negotiate with the Entente
powers.
Philip Scheidremann who resigend
as minister Of finance recently, in
sisted that it was impossible to create
a socialistic state at a time of dis
order like the present. He opposed
