Organ of Ebert Government As.
Serts MiIitaTists Are Seeking
to Rule Again.
GIVES WILHELM THE LIE
Bavarian Minister at Berlin DiscIoses
Original War Plot of German
War Party and Vienna
to Embroil Europe.

London, Nov. 27.-Warning against
a kaiserite counter-revolution, the Ber-
lin Vorwaerts, official organ of the
Ebert government declares:
THAT gang of murderers are still
planning to re-establish themselves" !"
The Vorwaerts made the statement
In commenting on the Bavarian dis
closures of the origin of the war. 1t
pointed out that the German govern
ment said it was ignorant OF the Aus
trian ultimatum before it was deliv-
cred to Serbia, and that it said Vienna
was exhorted to be moderate in it's
demands.
Germany, Austria conspired.
THE facts are" says the Vorwaerts,
that Berlin melted Vienna.
Wilhelm said, The enemy attacked
u.s. This is an infamous lie."
Publication of official reports from
the Bavarian minister at Berlin to his
home government confirm evidence in
the hands of the Entente that Ger
many and Austria conspired to bring
about the war. 1t was for this rea-
son that the terms of Austrias ulti-
matum to Serbia were made so drastic
that hOstilities were bound to follow.
Serbian Acceptance Prevented.
These revelations have been pub
lished III Munich after permission had
been asked by the Bavarian premier
and foreign minister of the German
federal governn ent. They are in the
form of a report sent to Munich on
July Is. 1914 by Count Won Lerchen-
field, the Bavarian minister at Berlin.
According to the report the delivery
of the, ultimatum TO Serbia was de-
layed until after President Poincare
and Premier Niylani Of France had
gone to ST. Petersburg, which would
make it difficult for the Entente ma
tions to arrive at an understanding
and take counter measures.
Count Won Lerchenfeld said that
Serbia obviously cannot accept such
conditions as will be laid down." and
that as consequence there must be
war" He declared that action on the
part of Austria could not be long de-
layed, for that might give Serbia
under pressure from France and Rus
sia, an opportunity to offer satisfac
ton"
No Chance to Avert War.
In a telegram to Munich from Ber
lin on July 81, 1914, Count Won Ler
chenfeld said that Sir Edward Grey's
efforts to preserve peace would Ger
tainly not succeed in arresting the
course of events" Later the same
day he wired information as to ulti
matums to Russia and France, fore
cast their rejection by both nations
and told of plans to hurl Germany's
armies against France, which, he said
would be overwhelmed in four
weeks" He said that the morale OF
the French army was poor and that il
was poorly armed.
On Aug. 4 the Bavarian minister
outlined Germany's intention to VIC
late Belgium's neutrality, saying:
THE chief Of the general staff has
declared that even British neutrality
will be paid for too dearly If the price
is respect Of Belgium. An attack OF
France is possible only through Bel
GUM"

And there in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch their flock by ilight
And TO- the angel of the Lord came upon them, and

And the angel said unto Them Fear not; for behold,
bring good tdngs of great JOY, which shall be to
all people, -
For you is born this day in the city of David
Savior, which is Christ the Lord. -
And this shall be sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manager
And suddenly there with the angel multitude OF
the heavenly host praising God and saying,
Glory God in the highest and earth peace, good
will toward men. .z.+l>.
And came to pass the angels gone away from
them heaven the shepherds said to another Let
US now go even Bethlehem and this thing which
is come pass which the Lord hath made known unto
And they with haste and found Mary. and Joseph
and the babe lying in manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad
the saving which told them concerning this child
And ali they that heard it wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in
her heart
And the shepherds returned clarifying and prasing
God for all things that they had heard and SEEM
it told unto them.

TAKE NOTE OF AMERICAN THRIFT!

Much has been said of the thrift of the French.
Much has been said of the waste, the absence OF
thrift, among Americans.
Now comes evidence to upset the old time no.
tion few days before the armstce was signed
the lines of depositors in all the savings banks
of many American cities began to lengthen Day
after day they increased in length. In one New
York bank the deposits for November increased
$l,O0OOO0 over those for November, 1917
In the whole country the savings banks deposits
are $4,SOO,000,0OO.
Savings bank officers give various explanations
of the sudden increase in deposits. Some ascribe
it to the release Of boarded money, to turning
into bank vaults of gold and silver and bank notes
hidden away by persons, particularly of German
or Austrian birth or descent who feared their
possessions might be subject to seizure by the
alien enemy property custodian
Whatever the explanation the flow of money
to the savings banks continues December prom
Uses to show almost as we'll as did November the
country over.
Savings bank funds are invested mostly in real
estate mortgages and seasoned bonds Increase in
deposits means most money for building opera
tons. If building materials were at figure to
warrant it this sudden increase in savings deposits
would suggest that real estate activity is near.
THE BIG LESSON TAUGHT BY THE saw
INGS DEPOSITS is THAT IF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WERE NOT THRIFTY THEY ARE
NOW ON THE WAY TO BECOMING AC-
QUAINTED WITH THRIFT.
In Liberty Bonds and savings banks accounts
the American people have upward of $2O,000,000,-
600 to their credit practically all due to savings.
That is approximately 5000 per capita, not con-
sidering the two billions subscribed for War
Stamps.
Thrift is sure coming to America!
Germans spell beer the way we spell Hohenzoll-
erns next residence. T.
Even the weather feels pleasant, now the wars
over.
