EXPOSING THE HUNS
Bavarians Are Now Telling What
Really Happened.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Officia1 ex-
poses showing Germany's guilt in con-
niving with Austria to start the world
war. are being made by Bavarian off,
cials. diplomatic advices here today re-
vealed.
Germany approved the ultimatum
of Austr.a-HLngary before it was sent
to Serbia in 1914. according to en-
phatic statements just published with
official sanction in Bavaria.
In a detailed account the former Ba-
varian minister to Berlin describes
how the Austrian ultimatum which
started the war was held up after con-
sultation between Vienna and Berlin
until President Poincare and Premier
Viviani were on their way back from
Petrograd. The Bavarian minister
sent his government summary of the
ultimatum and stated that it was clear
Serbia would never accept. But Ber-
lin, he stated, fully approved of Aus
tria making use of the opportunity
even at the risk of complications

0L|CER IS NAMED

The directors of the Topeka Cham
Der of Commerce at a momentous
meeting this noon signed a contract

Oliger as secretary of the institution

$3.50 per month.

Of 5000 per month. At the end of
the six months period and providing
he has made good and proved his
worth Oliger is to receive an increase
of 800 per month.
The action this noon marks the close
of the Topeka Chamber of Commerce
experiments in the secretary line. Oil
ger Is the first secretary the institution

are unanimous in their opinion that
Oliger will put Topeka in a conspicu-
GUS place on the commercial map of
Kansas.

merce and Kansas Retailers associa-
ton that Topeka will become the hub
or all state activities in commercial
lines

TELLING ON HUNS
Bavarians Are Splitting Some
Secrets Just Now.
Telling Real Facts About the
Start of War. .,1

Washington. Nov. 25.-Germany's
Matched up plot against the peace OF
the world is being unfolded by the new
Bayarian government.
Wearied of the domination of PruS-
sia over German affairs. the Bavarian
authorities are now officially releasing
documents detailing reports of the for
mer Bavarian minister to Berlin and
showing how Germany connived with
Austria Hungary to bring on the war.
| The first summary of these to reach
this country shows that Germany ap-
proved Austrias ultimatum to Serbia
which started the war-apparently
believing that war would be a good
thing for the dual monarchy. The ac-
ton against Serbia, the report shows.
was carefully deliberated upon by Ger
! many.
The Bavarian government revolving
against the domination of Prussia and
charging the kaiser's group with de-
liberately melting the war. published
officially a summary of report from
Lerchenfeld, the Bavarian minister to
Berlin.
"Lerchenfeld informed his govern
ment on July IS, 1914, of the plot
Matched against peace" the summary
of the expose received in diplomatic
quarters here stated. "On July s he
announced the Austrian ultimatum to
Serbia, saying that its deliverance had
been postponed to July 25 until Mr..
Poincare and Mr.. Viviani were on
their way back from ST. Petersburg"
the diplomatic dispatches stated. He
gave a summary of the note and added
that it is plain that Serbia cannot ac-
cept these eXigencies which are ir-
reconcilable with her dignity as an in
dependent state. Berlin fully ap-
/ proves of Austria making use of the
opportunity even at the risk of utter
| ior complications. Mr. Won Jagow
! like Mr.. Zimmerman, still doubts that
Vienna will maintain her exigencies
| to the last. The under secretary OF
| state tells me that Austria Hungary
| owing to her irresolution and her dis
cords, had really become the sick man
of Europe as Turkey was before. The
| Russians. Italians. Rumanians, Serb
ians and Montenegrins are waiting for
| this country to be divided, thanks tc
! the victorious Intervention"

Rate Of Discharge From Army
To Be High.
By End Of Week or Early IN
Next.
WILL SPEED DECENTRALIZATION
Reduce the 80 Division Limit
Overseas.
Not More Than Million Held
for Police.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Discharge of
soldiers on this side is expected to
reach a daily rate of 10000 by the
end of this week, or early next week.
Machinery for demobilizing them
has been speeded up, now that the
initial organization work is completed.
The system of releasing men. while
fairly intricate. is in charge of expert
enced personnel officers at each camp
and cantonment, and no difficulty is
being experienced anywhere.
Million Out by January 4.
With the flow at 5000 or better a
day, the new year should find more
than one million men freed both in
this country and abroad. The situa-
ton with respect to demobiliZation
overseas is complicated by the tom
mage situation. England is understood
to desire to withdraw some Of her
transports from American service
quickly. hence this may slow up home
comings. The eight divisions already
ordered back should be under way
fairly soon, however.
Army men were of the opinion today
that the thirty division limit on the
army Of occupation would be quickly
reduced after the thirteen divisions
above that limit are sent back. The
German army is unable to renew the
war. 1t is held here that probably
far fewer men than thirty divisions
can adequately police the Rhinelands.
The thirty divisions will be stripped
of certain auxiliary units unnecessary
to occupation. Therefore it is likely
that the strength of the remainder will
not run over 100000 or 100000.

WERE A HUNGRY CREW
ID Men OF Steamer Ten Days Without

Washington, Nov. 25.-Fourteen
men-the hungry remnant of the crew
of the sunken steamer Dumaru-have
landed at San Jose L'Orient, east coast
of the Philippines. said navy depart
ment advices this afternoon.
The story of the Dumaru and her
crew is one of the most remarkable
narratives of shipwrecks in recent
months.
The Dumaru put out at Guam Octo-
Der 16. Only few miles off this mid
Pacific island, the vessel was struck
by lightning, which, igniting the gaso-
line, destroyed the ship. The crew
put off in lifeboats. Thirty eight days
they drifted in open boats. ten days

Sixteen of the crew died from ex-
posure and two others drowned while

ALL RESTRICTIONS
ON SANTA CLAUS
ARE CALLED OFF

Washington, Nov. 25.-We are to
have an old fashioned Christmas after
all. The council of national defense
has lifted the restrictions on the pro-
duction and sale of holiday gifts and
to the manufacturer. merchant and
buyer says in effect: Go to it," as in
the opulent days of peace. The coun-
sorption of war labor by the holiday
trade. In the announcement of the
lifting of the ban the council says:
Before the armistice the council of
national defense, composed of the sec
retaries of war, navy, interior agricul-
ture, commerce and labor. entered into
an agreement with the Representatives
of leading industries and retail inter-
ests to the effect that the sale of
Christmas goods should undergo GER
tain restrictions with regard to the
employment of labor during the
Christmas season and the conservation
of transportation and delivery facili-
ties. Certain other agreements were
likewise entered into.
THE council of national defense
now believes that as one of the steps
essential to the rapid establishment
of normal after-the-war conditions, it
should, and it hereby does, lift its ban
in connection with holiday buying in
the desire to give a natural impetus to
the unemployment of those normally
engaged in the production of holiday
material and in the holiday trade. The
council is further impelled to this de-
cision by reason of the necessity now
confronting us to get our military
forces and munition factory workers
back to the ordinary pursuits of life
with the least possible shock in
making the CHANGE
