Crushing the Yanks.

Old Ludendorff bornbastic
cried, to gaping German ranks ::
"You saw how we the Russians
crushed; so we shall crush the
Yanks." Then to his weary war
riors he said, with sickly smiles,
Fall back, my brave invifcibles !!
Retreat a dozen miles!" It's true
the German crushed the Russ !;
the Russ was like a child, be-
trayed by his own parents and
by Prussian lies beguiled. [
wonder if Herr Ludendorf has
got it in his head that citizens
from freedoms shore can thus
astray be led; that they will fall
for German bunk as fell the
cllildlike Slav?: Such hotpoint
visions in their heads the Ger
man leaders have. Or does the
doughty Ludendorff imagine
for a space that he has strength
enough at hand to whip the
Yankee race? One Yank can
whip a brace of Teuts, from war
tales I've inferred, and if occa-
sion calls for it he will take on
a third. Oh, Ludendorh, begin
to crush! You've told what you
will do, so now hitch up your
pantaloons and put the matter
through. You'll need your
bombs and poison gas, and all
your sn;ckersnees; the crushing
graft will prove a frost when
Yankees are crushees!

DECENTRALIZATION OF ARMY AND NAVAL
FORCES TO PROCEED RAPIDLY AS
PRACTICABLE

Army officers in touch with the mastering
out process estimate that 100000 American
soldiers will be out of service by New Years
Day, according to Washington dispatch to the
Chicago Herald and Examiner of November Is.
1t is calculated that $4,000 men a day will be
the figure. from December until January |.
when the rate probably will be raised to $4,000.
First units of the American expeditionary
forces to return from overseas will perhaps
have arrived in New York by the time this
article appears in print. The majority of these
units belong to air service detachments
All officers and enlisted men in the navy may
make immediate application for discharge &C
cording to a telegram received from Secretary
of the Navy Daniels at the Great Lakes naval
training station, near Chicago, on November TO-
The telegram stated that it is the purpose of
the department to release all young men who wish
to return to school and others who can be spared
as soon as practicable Each applicant for dis
charge will state whether he wishes to return to
school or whether he desires to be released owing
to personal or business reasons. There are near
1y 10000 men at Great Lakes and nearly all are
affected by the order.
1t is of distinct local as we'll as natural interest
to know that Captain William A. Moffett, COM
mandant at Great Lakes, now has been assigned
to the command of the new superdreadnought,
Mississippi.
When Captain Moffett came to Great Lakes,
four years ago, the station was the smallest in
this country. Today it is the largest not only in
the United States but in the entire world.
Throughout the period of its expansion, says one
writer, it has had more to its credit than mere
size. Under Captain Moffetts able administration
it has become the most efficient naval station, as
well as the largest in the world

GERMAN SITUATION PUZZLING

Reports from Germany are confusing.
On November %, it was declared that the
German revolution or struggle between the
radicals and moderates for control of the gov
eminent.
The position Of Doctor Ebert Socialist chan
cellor, was said to strikingly resemble that OF
Kerensky in his losing struggle with the soviets
Of Russia. A report Of November Is said that
Liebknecht, the radical, had emerged as victor
over Ebert, the moderate, at Berlin, the radicals
having written upon their banner, "The end
justifies all means.
While the struggle between the two rebel
wings was characterized as comparatively blood
less, it was declared that the radicals were in
control Of Berlin and that the affairs OF all
Germany rested for the moment in the hands of
the Berlin workmen and soldiers council,
Ebert and his ministers being reduced to mere
figureheads
It was also reported that simultaneously with
the specter Of red terror the possibility of civil
war was looming up, definite split having
occurred between north and south Germany.
German newspapers were accredited with say
ing that the United Workers and Soldier s
Council had proclaimed Oldenburg Hanover
and Schleswig- Holstein republic, with the
capital at Hamburg; also that in the South,
Bavaria, Wurtemberg and Badan had with
drawn from the confederacy of the empire and
announced they would not submit to the terror
ism of Berlin.
But now come reports, which, if true, would
appear to justify the prediction OF some editor
ial writer's a week ago, that the educated mid
die class of Germany would prove bulwark
against the encroachment Of terrorism and that
they would refuse to follow the example of the
Russians, eighty-five per cent Of whom are il
literate and who are ready blindly to follow the
lead of any street-curb orator who comes along.
In Dresden, in test of ballots, the extremists
polled only 1890 votes against S. 400 for the old
Socialists or conservative element. Even in the
north German cities, sentiment is said to have
turned into more conservative channel
Soldiers from the front are beginning to ar
rive in Berlin and it is claimed that the great
bulk of their number reject Bolshevism in all
it's phases.

POPE TO REALIZE LONG CHERISHED
DREAM

AS showing the drift of papal ambitions in con-
nection with world events now shaping them
selves, an article by Henry Wood United Press
staff correspondent in Rome, Italy, appeared in
the Chicago E7,ening Post of November 10,
which quote in part:
"One of the results of the war has been to re-
new at the vatican the long -cherished dream of
return to the bosom of the Roman church of the
various schismatic sects or oriental rites, with
which the eastern Mediterranean countries
abound.
"a definite policy toward this end already has
been adopted and put into execution by Pope
Benedict XV and progress is being made. Just
as the world dreams of universal political peace
after the war, with fraternity and brotherhood
existing among various political states, the vati-
can is looking forward to more or less of a uni
versal religious peace, at least far as the orle-
tai schlsmatic churches are concerned, and either
direct return to the Roman fold or at least fra
ternlty and brotherhood among them under the
central spiritual head of the holy see.
THE one, great historic fact that has contrib
uted to this more than anything else has been the
overthrow of czarism in Russia. The car of all
the Russians was the spiritual head of the Rus
sian church, and in general was looked upon by.
nearly all of the schismatic churches of the ORR
ent as the spiritual head of their religion rather
than the pope at Rome
With the disappearance from the political and
religious horizon of the car, many of these orr
entail churches are now left without central

are issued by the government and we are sup
posed to follow them.
In fact, you will find we sell many things at
prices lower than the government lists. lnves-
tigation showed this to be true
United States Food Administrator Hoover
has this week issued the following announce
ment = For the next thirty or sixty days there
is barely enough shipping at our shores to take
care Of current production and our storage is
deficient, but later when ships are available
we will call upon our people for great sacrifice.
We must realize that the specter OF famine
abroad now haunts the abundance Of our table
at home. There are conditions OF famine IN
Europe beyond our power to remedy.
There are 100000 people in north Russia
to whom [ fear but little access to food can be
obtained this winter. expect the most dreadful
results Of starvation beyond all human power
to allay.
"There is one policy which does not change,
and that is the vital necessity of simple living
and economy in all consumption of commodities

When Mr. Hoover's message was read before
a meeting in Chicago Mrs. Beatrice Forbes
Robertson Hale, national speaker for the food
administration, announced that the entire recon-
struction food program would be given out
within two weeks. "The neutral governments,
Switzerland, Finland, Sweden Norway, Den
mark and Holland" she said, ARE nearing
famine. In Holland, there is a line Of 100000

STEPS TOWARD RESUMPTION OF
NORMAL CONDITIONS

The return of vast numbers of men from can
tonements to their respective homes must in
short time, relieve, in great measure the labor
situation which has become disturbing influence
of more than ordinary magnitude.
General Pershing Immediately after the sign
ing of the armistice with Germany, issued orders
for the prompt reduction of the extensive system
for producing supplies for the United States army
in Europe.
Relative to these orders, O. M. Smucker, writ
ing in the Chicago Herald and Examiner of Nov
ember "a, said
Cancellations OF contracts are being &C
complished rapidly and equitably under direction
of the war industries board.
"The board is proceeding along lines mapped
out in detail long before the arnlistce unassigned
and as a result American industry is swinging
itself back to peace basis with minimum of
disturbance.
From authoritative sources it was learned
yesterday that when a government contract is
abrogated the contractor is allowed fair cash
settlement which covers the cost of his raw ma
ter1al on hand and the cost of his new machinery
less depreciation and protects him on any con-
tracts he may have sublet
This is accomplished by detailed schedule
which is presented to the contractor
"He fills this out and files it with the war in
dustries board. The board promptly presents
him with a check"
The United States and Great Britain, according
to Washington reports, have agreed upon prin-
ciple by which there shall be settlement of mu-
tual Indebtedness in such matters as use of ships,
transportation of troops, furnishing of supplies
and other related items
The bills from England doubtless will be very
heavy, as 90 per cent of the transports used by
the United States were British owned. On the
other hand, American ships which carried sup
plies to the allies will place charge for freight.
Both France and Great Britain have bought very
largely in the United States during the war.

While America total Of 236,117 appears
small at first comparison, an analysis of the fig
ures shows that of the approximately 100000
American soldiers in France one man out Of
every eight either was killed, wounded or taken
prisoner.
The United States fought only about IS
months, while Great Britain and Germany bat
tied more than four years, and in addition,
nearly year elapsed after President Wilson,

can soldiers took their places on the west front

News of the World
Continued from first page.)

States unit of world Socialist International
One Of them is credited with saying: "Your
list Of the new. Socialist soviet republics is not
complete. You can add Sweden and Denmark
now, and who knows how soon the United
States our own country, may be on the list. God
only knows what may happen in this country in
the next year or two"
The Chicago city council, on November 25,
passed an order directing Corporation Counsel
Ettelson to draw up an ordinance making it
prohibitive for any one to display a red flag.
Theodore Roosevelt, writing in the Kansas
City Star, says that the red flag is as much an
enemy as the flag of the Hohenzollerns = in
fact, even more treacherous and equally brutal.
He advises that Congress should pass law,
without waiting day, prohibiting the use of
the red flag or the black flag or any other flag
of the kind here in America"
In New York City, ON the night Of November
20, thousand soldiers, sailors and marines are
reported to have broken through a Gordon of
police surrounding Madison Square Garden and
attacked International Socialists who were ex-
pounding Bolshevik doctrines at mass meet
ing.
A Washington report, of November 81, says
that the spread of Bolshevik doctrines in the
United States has been watched carefully by
department of justice agents with view OF
undertaking prosecutions if the agitation goes
beyond legal grounds.
Malcolm Lincoln, writing from London, Eng
land, to the Chicago Evening Post, says:
International action to stamp out the anarchy
masquerading as Bolshevism will be among the
initial tasks of the peace conference, according
to the most authoritative spokesman Of British
and French public feeling"
One of the disconcerting features Of the situa-
ton is the fact that workmen all over the United
States, despite the closing Of hostilities, are
demanding heavy wage increases. Chicago pack
ers, this past week, have demanded flat in
crease Of rs cents an hour, which means direct
request for from So to So so per day more than
they are receiving now.
Telegraphers, numbering $4,000, all over the
country have threatened to leave their positions
and seek other work unless their demands for
increased pay and improved working condi-
tons are met by specified time. They are de-
handing a minimum of go cents an hour on an
hourly basis with time and half for overtime,
Sundays and holidays.
Perhaps the most menacing aspect Of the
provisions. A gentleman, this week, wrote to
the Chicago Herald and Examiner, pointing out
that despite the signing Of the armistice, food
prices continued to mount out Of all proportion
to increased wages. He said:
This morning my wife went to the corner
grocer with 81 so and returned with pound
OF butter, dozen eggs and cent change. When
she expressed surprise the grocer called her at
tention to official list Of prices posted on the
door with the heading, Fair Food Prices Pub
lished by the United States Food Administra-
ton Those prices are official, he said; they
