''The knowledge that wrong has

out like men for a crusade. No other

all over the world that the forces
are accumulated that presently will
overpower any attempt to accomplish
evil on a great scale. II is like the

there comes out of communities like

science of men and it Is the conscience
of the world we now mean to place

to usurp."
The lengthy program of the day
was carried out with the single eX
ception that the president had not
intended to speak in the church. The

Germans Fire First.

Warsaw Saturday, Dec. 2S, by The
Associated Press "A Polish official
report concerning the riot in Posen
on the arrival Of Ignace Jan Pade-
rewski, who is on his way here, says
the trouble began when allied and
American flags were hoisted over the
city hall
The Germans demanded that the
flags be hauled down, The Poles re-
fused to acquiesce whereupon the
Germans brought UP machine guns
and began firing in the streets, driv-
ing back the crowds and dispensing
the Polish troops.
Finally the German officials took
down the flags. Meanwhile the Poles
reassembled and began to return the
German fire. The fighting continued
from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to
Z O'Clock.
The Germans provoked another in
cident by trying to prevent Paderew-
ski from going about the streets They
called on the British Colonel Wade
and told him that If Paderewski was
permitted to go about it would he the
cause of trouble between the Poles
and German populations. Colonel
Wade made no answer. He merely
turned his back on the Germans and
got into motor car with Paderew-
ski
The arrival of Paderswski and the
British and American officers has
created much enthusiasm here. The
hope is expressed that their arrival
will stamp out Bolshevism and pre-
vent anticipated trouble in Warsaw

The secretary ow War on Friday
sent the following telegram to all
state directors of War Savings:
II most earnestly urge upon you
that your organization make every
possible effort to the end that pledges
for the purchase or War Savings
Stamps be fulfilled before the close OF
the year. The governments none
tary requirements were never greater
nor more pressing than they are to-
day. Expenditures for November
were greater than in any similar per
iod. These expenditures growing out
Of the war must be met by borrowing
from the people and their magniti-
cient response heretofore to the gov
ernment's rquirements makes me con-
fident that they will not fail to con-
tinue their support to the end that all
payments resulting from War necessi-
tiese will be promptly met. Much re-
mains to be done. Our brave troops
must be maintained and paid until
their work is fully accomplished and
they are returned to their homes.
This is not a time for us to relax our
efforts and the treasury department
is making ulans for larger and even
more important work durng the com

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 9.-America's
future prosperity rests in large mea-
sure on the increase of it's foreign
trade, Speaker Champ Clark said here
today at the opening of the annual

Speaker Clark.
1--WE can depend on President, Will

upon that rests, in large measure, the
