The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1918-12-12

Conditions in Germany are almost
as uncertain as in Russia after the
fall of Kerensky. Just who or what
comprises the government II is hard to
say. Premier Ebert and his moderate
socialist colleagues are still the noml-
nal rulers of Prussia, but DR.. Karl
Liebknecht and his Spartacus group
of socialists-the German equivalent
of the bOlsheviki-are vigorously
fighting TO get the upper hand. They
are especially strong in Berlin. which
is In a state of great disorder. 1t Is
reported that Liebknecht has $4,000
men well armed and Is planning ter
rorist revolution. He reviles Ebert for
asking food from America, for, since
this Is conditioned on the maintenance
of order, 1t is yielding to a capitalist
effort to beat bolshevik aims" Lieb-
knecht's organ, the Red Flag, demands
the dismissal of officers and the
choosing by soldiers of their leaders;
the immediate arming of the revolu
tionary workmen and the disarming of
all other organizations; the destruc-
ton of capitalism, the annulment of
war loans and the Specialization Of all
business.
The soldiers and workmen's coun-
ellis of Germany have demanded that
the ex-kaiser be tried by a German
tribunal, which would probably be
the best he could hope for.

Admiral Beatty as beneath contempt,
is now no more.
General Dickman's American army
has its headquarters at Treves, and
from it reports come that fatty con-
tradlct the idea that the Germans are
short of food and clothing. The peo-
pie in the occupied districts are studi-
ously Indifferent to the invaders or
openly eager to keep up their trade.
The French and British have been
moving forward In their zones with
little incident.
Among the loot already recovered
from the Germans is the $60,000OO0
taken from the Russian treasury. The
Huns also have returned a rich art
collection that was stolen from st.
Quentin. and other paintings taken
from Valenclennes.

In many parts of Germany there is
swift reaction against the bolsheyik
movement, and 1t threatens to grow
into a counterrevolution, with the pos
sible restoration of the monarchy.
This is fostered by many officers and
supported by certain units of the
army. That it will go far seems quite
unlikely. The soldiers and workmen
generally, however, seem disposed to
support the Ebert government rather
than the Spartacus group.
The leaders of the Bavarian repub-
lie have induced the Berliners to de-
mand the resignation Of Doctor Solf,
whose retention as foreign secretary
has been one Of the puzzles to outsid-
ers, and to exclude Matthias Erzberger
from the peace negotiations.

Before President Wilson left the
country he delivered his address to
congress reassembled for the short
session. He paid glowing tribute to
the forces Of America. military and
civilian, which helped win the war, and
said he was going across to interpret
his ideas of world peace because he
considered that was his bounden duty.
But he did not give any specific infor-
nation as to his plans, nor did he so
much as mention his colleagues on the
peace delegation. In dealing with do
nestle matters. the president said he
was convinced 1t would be wrong to
turn the railroads back to private own
ership under present conditions, but
that unless congress solved the ques-
ton in the near future he would relin-
quish the roads. Other matters that
he asked congress to act upon quickly
were the revenue bill, the navy build
ing plan and woman suffrage. Secre-
tary Daniels plan for the navy is for
steady and rapid increase of the fleet.
for which he asks about $434, 000,0 900.
The estimates submitted to congress
by Secretary Baker provide for regu-
lar army Of approximately 100000, but
certain items are included that leave
the question of the strength of the
army open until after the conclusion
of peace.

BY the decisive vote Of 4,40l to liza.
Washington county decided yesterday TO
have county tuberculosis hospital un-
der the authorization of an act of tho
legislature of 1917, the bill having been
introduced by Frank G. Rowland of
Barre. All of the score of cities and
towns with the exception of Marshfield
and Worcester voted in favor of the
proposition, and the dissenting major
tiles in those two towns were small.
Barre topped the list of those favoring
the county hospital, the vote being 1858
yes and lsi no. Montpelier also gave
commanding yes majority, the vote
standing $50 TO 2l2.
Following the official announcement of
the vote by the county clerk, the GOV.
ernor will appoint board of three trus-
tees to have charge of the work of fixing
the site, building the hospital and adj
the institution. Under the
law the hospital shall not cost over S70,-

of course, to care for the tuberculosis pa

CARBON MONOXTDE
CAUSED DEATH
Among Patients Being Transported in
American-Made Ambulances Equipped
with Exhaust Gas Heaters.

With the American Army in France
March g. -(Correspondence of the Asso.
ciated Press carbon monoxide gas has
caused deaths among patients being
transported within the closed bodies of
some American made ambulances
equipped with exhaust gas heaters, it is
announced. All precautions now have
been taken to insure these vehicles being
safe in the future.
Investigation disclosed the presence of
gas in lethal quantities within ambu-
lances, it having passed through highly
heated iron parts and leaks in exhaust
pipes. Poor ventilation was responsible
for the gas remaining in the closed bod
les.
Orders now have been issued for the
boring of one inch holes at three inte'
walls in double row through the wooden
front of all vehicles being used by the
American expeditionary forces. Similar
holes will be made in the boards.
All exhaust gas heaters in the future
will be carefully inspected under oper-
ating conditions and repairs Immediately
made upon those found even slightly de-
feetive.
All ambulance drivers and ordcrlics
have been ordered to investigate the con-
dition Of all passengers within their
cars at five minute intervals. This will
be done by requiring an answer to an in
tcrrogstion. Particular attention will nc
paid TO the condition of patients when
ambulsnces are at a standstill with the
engine running.

London, March 6.-Thc evacuation OF
Petrograd has begun. Three state min
istries, according TO a Reuter- despatch
from Petrograd dated Tuesday, have

An official Russian statement received
to-day says that Ensign Krylenko, the
Bolshevik commander chief, has sent
a message to the German and Austrian
chief commanders, stating that the Ger

notwithstanding the conclusion of peace.
He asks whether the German high com
mand has taken all the steps necessary
for a cessation of hostilities.

Only Ten Cities and Towns
Voted Yes on Local
Option
BURLINGTON FLOPS
INTO DRY COLUMN
Barre Stays wet By q
Much Reduced Ma
jority

Ten Vermont cities and towns voted
yesterday in favor of the licensed saloon
the number of such communities being
reduced from is year ago. The only
place to shift from no.license license was
ST. George, a town of Chittendcn county
having 100 population and being located
10 miles southeast from Burlington. Bur
lington, the largest city in the state,
went from license TO no.lcense by ma
jority of 2ol, while ST. Albans. always
in the license column heretofore with
one years exception, voted TO try the
dry" regime. Rutland stays license, as
does Barre. Barre is the only place on
the eastern side of the state that will
have licensed saloons the coming year.
Rutland county still remains the
stronghold of the license sentiment, hay
ing four of the 10 towns and they being
Rutland, West Rutland, Fair Haven and
Castleton. Chittenden county has three
license towns, Colchester, Shelburne and
st. George; but it is hardly probable that
the last named viii license the sale of
liquor. Barre, in Washington county,
Bennington, in Bennington county, and
Nergennes, in Addison county, bring their
respective counties into the license col
umn. That leaves the counties of Gale
donia, Essex, Franklin, Grand Isle, La
moille, Orange, Orleans, Windham and
Windsor so-called ''lily-whte.f
The cities and towns which swung
from license to no-license were; Burling
ton. st. Albans, Shoreham, Newark, Jay,
Canaan, Brunswick and Bloomfield The
new city of Newport, made up of the
old villages of Newport and West Derby,
starts oil in the no.license column by a
wide margin.
The entry of women into the voting
lists is held to be responsible in part
for the reduction OF license in the state.
Mrs. +. H. Read, president of the Equal
Suffrage league of Montpelier. expressed
qualification over the large participa
ion by women in the election as fol |
ows:
I'VE are highly gratihed with the
manner in which the women have gone |

tate Only 80 per cent. of those regis
cred would have been considered good |
howing, but the fact that SO or 30 per
cnt turned out is evidence that the /
women of Vermont were willing and I
a. ger to exercise their newly acquired /
privilege of citizenship.
