MAJ. GEN. TAShEH II. BLISS.
Inounced, will Immediately COM
mence sessions and frame plans for
the spring offensive. 1t will map
out the large policies and allot to
each nation its specific task.
See Political victory.
The meeting OF the war council is
greeted by American and allied Of
ficials here as marking a great po-
litical victory for the nations fight
ing against Germany. 1t marks the
consummation OF complete unity OF
action. 1t is thrown into contrast
by these two other political devel-
opments.
Bolshevikism and the spirit OF I'M
rest in the entente nations has been
definitely laid through the adoption
by the British labor party of the
Wilson-Lloyd George peace aims in
the face of efforts of pacifists and
international Socialists to alter
them.
The central powers are obviously
torn by just the same spirit-the
spirit which wrecked Russia and the
spirit which the laboring people OF
the Entente have cast out.
State Department officials were OBJ
viously pleased at the result of the
labor conference An Great Britain. Al
no time has any official admitted that
there was doubt of British labor.
Developments at Nottingham have
been watched with the keenest in
terest, nevertheless.
Reports reached Washington yester-
day from almost every nation con-
tiguous to the central powers telling
of the serious character of the politi-
cal unrest.
No official here will admit that this
unrest means the immediate collapse
of the central powers. The auto
cratic government of Germany is still
in the saddle. But allied observers
declare that. though the Teutons will
be able to carry through their spring
campaign. they will have to fight with
the morale of their peoples destroyed
and even with the morale of the
troops seriously impaired.

FOOD PROFIT
"HYENAS" HIT
BY SUNDAY
They re Highwaymen, Says
Evangelist, Who Com
pliments Thugs.
By ARTHUR JOYCE.

Billy Sunday threw his verbal
harpoon into food profiteers at the
Tabernacle service last night. He
put them all in the class of high
waymen."
The evangelist was discussing the
commandment Thou Shalt Not
Steal" .-
81 believe" said Billy, that the
,highWayman who sneaks UP behind
you at night, pulls a gun on you and
makes you give up your coin, is no
more a thief than is the man or
combination of men who will get
control of the nations food and
fuel supplies, then agree among
themselves to boost the prices so
high that the laboring man has no
alternative except to pay the ex-
orbitant rates or freeze or starye
to death"
The 'profiteers" get Billy's goat"
he emphasized. And he doubled up
his fists and pounded them on the
wooden pulpit with a bang that
was heard in all parts of the big
building. The crowd of 10000 per-
sons in the Tabernacle cheered-
and then cheered some more.
Raps European Sunday.
Billy threw out all sorts of cnaI
lenges in between the lines of his ser
mon on Weighed and Found Want
ing" First, he challenged any per-
son in Washington to prove that he's
not living the life he's urging others
to live. He said he'd pay any mans
carfare to any town in which he has
lived since his conversion thirty-one
years ago and if they can get the
goods" on him he'd agree to quit
preaching the moment they came back
to town with the evidence.
Again, Billy challenged the belief of
those who declare that Moses wrote
the Ten Commandments. He insisted
that God wrote them on slabs of
stone and handed them over to Moses.
No one else could possibly have done
it, declared Billy.
As usual, Billy challenged the Kaiser,
He declared God is ION the job watch
ing this world war and that when He
gets good and ready He'll reach
down ''and choke the gizzard out of
that old reprobate."
And when God gets through with
that bull-neck degenerate" shouted
the evangelist, Kaiser Bills mus
tache will curl the other way, you bet
your boots"
Billy challenged the right of the
churches to conduct lotteries to raise
money. He called such churches
thieves" and declared any person
who invests in such lotteries to be a
thief
Full of Defiance.
The evangelist was bitter in his
denunciation of immigrants who
come here from Europe, with every
drop of blood in their infamous
veins in opposition to the sanctity of
the Sabbath" From this class, he
declared, came the anarchists who

Because he camouf1aged himself as a

geant that he was entitled to the Pass

men of the Jewish faith, Private Otto
Richter, of Long Branch, has been SEN
fenced by regimental court martial of

pay during like period
Richter overplayed the game. He might
have got away with his scheme had he
not failed to attend any celebration of
the Passover feast This was discovered
later after the suspicious of Captain B.
A. Colonna had been aroused when Rich
ter called on the telephone to say that
his wife was i'll and begged to be allowed
to remain with her few hours longer.
Two days later he again telephoned say
ing he feared his wife was dying and
got another extension. The court mar
tial produced proof that all this time
Richter knew his wife was in perfect
health.

POGROMS FEARED IN LITHU-
ANA.

German anti-semites are waging
a bitter pogrom propaganda in Will
ma and other cities of Lithuania, &C
cording to special cable to the
"Warheit" of New York City.
The Jews of Lithuania, says the
Warheit correspondent, are COM
pletely terrorized. This monstrous
agitation is adding to the cup of
bitterness which has been the Jews
lot since the Germans helped Lithu-
ania to "self-determine" itself.
The German officials of Lithuania
are openly sympathetic with this
propaganda and brazenly lend it
their support.
