Conditions of the present German pos

During the strikes occasioned by the trial
of Liebknecht and by the reduction Of
the bread ratfon in April, 1917. tho whole
influence Of Scheidemann and the other
majority socialist leaders was thrown
against the walsouts and they co-operat-
ed fundamentally with the government
In inducing the men and women to return
to work
Majority socialist endeavors were also
primarily responsible for the failure Of the
general political strike which radical -.
cialists attempted to launch on May L
1916. Now ScheideTann and his assoCl}
ates are represented on the general strike
committee with Haase and other 1eades4

Caused by German Spirit.
This change Of heart on tho part Of
the government socialists apparently has
been brought about by the spirit shown
by the government in the Russo German
peace negotta tions at -Litovsk; IN
the treatment of the Prussian franchise
reform, and also by the swing Of the 500
cialist masses away from the moderate
program Of the Scheideman forces to the
radical 'stop-the- -war-at-any-pG1ce' deS
mands of the radicals.
The detection Of thousands Of follows
ers and even Of reichstag deputies to the
extremist wing has compelled tho mod.
crate socialists to shift to the left and
align themselves in the strike movement,
in open and pronounced opposition to the
government on an issue having an iu-
portant bearing on the further proseeuff6n

that large numbers of men of military

of Germany's Industrial army In war

CALLED UP MONDAY
To Be Introduced Simultane-
ousIy in House and Senate.
McAdoo Is Author.
URGES EARLY PASSAGE

The administration bill to create q
war finance corporation, with $500. .o0o,-
900 capital and authority to Issue $4,-
100000 in short-term notes to H.
nance private war Industrial opera
tions, is to be introduced sdmultan-
eously in the Senate and House on Mon
day. Secretary McAdoo, who sent the
bill to democratic leaders at the Cap
itol. followed 1t up yesterday with a
visit to Senators Martin. Simmons and
others to urge early passage of the
measure.
It Is admitted. however, that the bill
probably will have to be considerably
amended before it passes the SENATE.
There is strong opposition, 1t was ad-
mitted. to those provisions relating TO
the selection Of directors and also to
those which would give the corpora
tion great power over the issue Of cap
ital stock, etc, by private corpora-
tionS.
To Introduce the Bill.
The corporation bill will be intro
duced in the Senate by Senator SIM
mons and In the House by Majority
Leader Kitcf1in.
Discussing the probabilities for reve-
nue. legislation at the present session
Of Congress, Senator Simmons, chair
man of the finance COMMITTEES, said:
Revenue legislation undoubtedly will
be brought out during the present ses-
sion Of Congress. 1t probably will deal
with three principal subjects-the
amount of bonds, increased taxes and
perfection of. some features Of the pres
ent war tax law
Senator Simmons said he did not be-
lieve the legislation would affect bond
or tax levies for the year Of 1918, but only
for 1919.
More Taxes in 1918.
.There Is no question. from the
present outlook" said Mr.. Simmons,
that taxes for 1919 will be increased
Not enormously, but probably by In
creasing levies Of the present war tax
bill, with addition possibly Of some new
and comparatively minor items.
Action on the revenue legislation dur
ing the present session of Congress is
regarded as essential because of the
difficulty of getting it through the next
session, which expires by limitation in
March. Senator Simmons suggested.
too, that action this year on taxation
legislation for 1919 would give business
a chance to foresee conditions and ad-
just itself to them.
Despite agitation by business inter-
ests for radical changes in the excess
profits taxes, and by other interests for
revision of individual income tax levies,
as we'll as certainty Of efforts in Con-
gress to change many tax rates, Senator
Simmons believes the revenue legislation
can be concluded without the long delay
of the last session. a general plan hav-
ing been outlined under the present law
with increased comprehension Of diff
culties.

This time it will be everybody in Dermott at the "Dermott District Sunday School Conference The three Sunday Schools interested in the con- ference and rally will meet in their respective churches at their usual hour of meeting.
 At 10:SOthe Sunday Schools and every body else who is interested in the best things in Dermott will form process sion at the Hotel Dermott corner and move north to Front Street, then west to Main. then south to Peddicord, then west to the Presbyterian church.
 w. D. Trotter will be master of ceremonies and with the other superin- tendents of the Sunday schools. Chas Measles. and Lon Etter. will constitute the parade marshals.

Community Music
One of the greatest assets to {

One of the greatest assets to any community is good supply of music bands, orchestras, choruses, etc, that can be called into use on any and all public occasions Good music is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment ac- to any occasion, from the most hilari ous to the most solemn. It Is never out of place in any public gathering, whatever the character. The church employs it as a powerful aid to relig- ious ferver; the political gathering Is flat and stale without it. Armies know and appreciate it's inspiring influence. and make full use of it. Homes that would. stand for all that a home should be will not think of being without music
 Every community, where enough tai ent can be scraped together. should make it one of it's chief concerns to see that a good band or orchestra Is or ganized and MAINTAINED. T h e maintenance of the community band should be as much a community obliga ton as the maintenance of it's courts. it's churches or it's schools
 This country has as fine musical tai ent as any country in the world. Thou sands of young Americans, if given the opportunity of musical education, would become gifted musicians. Com munity attention to developing love for music would soon develop in these young people such desire for musical culture that they would be stimulated to pursue it's study.
 Many communities have already seen the great value of public bands and orchestras, and make provision for their maintenance as regularly as they do their other institutions. There should not be town of any pretension in the country without it's band or orchestra. The benefits will far outweigh the cost. By F. w. Barber
