AN ALL-AMERICAN CREW
Ship MonongaheIa, Formerly German,
Manned by Western Lads.

The manner in which the war has
revolutionized the American merchant
marine is indicated by the case of the
four-masted sailing ship Monongahela,
now on a seven months voyage out Of
San Francisco.
Two things stand out about this ship
that would not have been possible be-
fore the United States took up arms
for democracy.
First, the ship is a German vessel,
over which the American flag is flying,
as it flies over 85 others OF former
German registry.
Second, the ship is manned by 100
per cent American crew.
This probably is the first all-Ameri-
can deep-water crew shipped for serv-
ice In the new merchant marine. TIC
make it the forerunner Of the Ameri-
can crews Of the near future Is the
aim OF the United States shipping
board recruiting service. which Is de-
voting itself to procuring just such
crews, and liz now training them at the
rate of 5000 men a month.
The Monongahela carries before the
mast SO young Americans and full
complement of American officers, head
ed by Capt. r. P. Rasmussen.
The Monongahela was formerly the
Dalbeck, under the German flag. She
sought safety when the war began by
laying up at Portland, Ore, and was
there taken over hV fhe United States
on it's declaration Of war.

The Fourth Of YesteTyear.

The folks at Shakers Station
Said they'd have a celebration
That would startle half the nation
Or at leastt the towns near by
The day before the stands were
made
Where every beau his nickels paid
To buy lis girl some lemonade
This hot Fourth of July.
Good Deacon Hoskins rose at one,
BY half-past two, the chores were
done,
For not to miss a bit of fun
His family meant to try.
They shaved, they brushed, they
scrubbed them sore,
They perfumed all the clothes they
wore,
And all arrived in state at four
To spend the "Fourth JULY.
Young Ezekiel Green yearned to go
there
With Sally. Brown, a maid most fair
He ionged to ask, but did not dare
For every time he'd try
Enormous Jumps came in his throat
Till once he handed her a note:
Twill you go''-Lhis is what he
wrote
With me to the Fourth of July?"
Quite early on the festal day
Zeke drove his democrat that way
Quite gorgeous in his best array
Pink shirt and red necktie;
Sweet SAILS white gown was sashed
with blue,
Flags wholly hid the horse from view
And thus the patriotic two
Took in the Fourth Of July.
A platform was erected,
For the governor was expected,
And to make speech selected,
But of course he came not nigh;
But despite this sad disaster
Filled the platform all the faster
For the principal and pastor
Filled the chairs that Fourth of
July.
OF the parade / can but tell
How floats filed by each village
belle
At whom the youngsters loud did
yell
In grandeur rumbled by
The bands did play, the teams did
prance,
While every lass VINO got the
chance
Stayed to take in the Bowery dance
That grand old Fourth July

learned from Col. Edward NJ House
that the plaAs of the French govern

getting down to it's sessions prior to
January 3. and he at once began ar
ranging his plans so as to utilize the
intervening time to clear up his visits
to the battle front, the American
troops and Italy, and other functions
in order to leave his time entirely free
when the conference begins.
In the meantime he will have infor-
NAL conferences With Premier Lloyd

Of Italy and others. to smooth out any
points of difference which may arise
between The United States and the al,

The president is planning to avoid
vigorously all functions not necessarily
of an official nature and will veto ali
pleasure trips. On his arrival in Paris
Saturday he will be received by Presi-

S0LF is OUT OF
/; GERMAN CABINET
Authority of the Ebert Regime
Appears to Be Gaining
Strength.
STRIPS The REDS OF POWER
Officially Denied in Berlin That the
Government Considers the Conven-
ing of the Reichstag-PIotters
Escape in Airplanes.

Berlin, Dec. 13.-Dr. w. B. SOlf. the
minister of foreign affairs, has hand
ed in his resignation and it has been
accepted by the cabinet. The foreign
secretary's retirement does not come
as surprise, as his relations with the
Independent socialist wing of the
Ebert-HaaSe cabinet reached the
straining point some time ago.
Official denial was made that the
government. was considering the con-
vening of the reichstag. The Tage-
blatt had reported that the cabinet
was to convoke the reichstag in order
to give the government parliamen-
It added that the reichstag session
probably would begin next week.
Cabinets Authority Growing.
The authority of the cabinet as q
whole appears to be greater than it
was last week. The executive COM
mittee of the soldiers and workers
council, which sent an invitation to
Adolph Joffe and M Radek of the boil
shevik embassy in Berlin, but who
had left for Russia to attend the con-
gress Of the councils December IL, has
been compelled to second the request
Of the cabinet that the bolshevik diplo-
mats abstain from their proposed Wis
it. Joffe and Radek already had
reached Dvinsk on their way back, but
were held up there by German sol
diers, who refused to permit them to
continue their journey.
There is no doubt that the executive
committee technically has a right to in
vite the bolsheviki and to order the
cabinet to receive them. The fact that
the committee surrendered that right
is looked upon as significant.
+ Reds Stripped Of Power.
The Spartacus organ, the Red Flag,
indeed declares that the executive
committee protested against the march
of troops into Berlin, but that it's pro-
test, like it's demand that the troops
be disarmed, was ignored by the cabi-
net.

doubt that the executive committee,
which has been drifting steadily to-
ward the extreme radical side, no long
