belief here ie tha they are members
of the minority.
Now that autocraCys power is
gone, the independent Socialists will
increase in numbers and will organ
ize soviets of heir own. Then will
come a clash between the two Social
ist groups which will parallel in al
most every particular the fight be
tween the Social Democrats and the
Bo!sheviki in Russia.
According to present indications the
new ruler of Germany will be Sc
lected from one of these men:
Majority Socialists Scheidemann,
Ebert. Suedekum
Independent Socialists Harden.
Liebknecht, Haase. Ledebour.
Out of the whole group the man
who stands head and shoulders above
them all is MaXimilian Harden. the
fearless editor who persistenuy crit
iCised and harrassed Hohenzollern
during the four years of war. But it
is a question whether he will be able
to gather sufficient support to force
his election.
Leaders of the friends of German
democracy in Washington declare
that neither Scheidemann. Ebert nor
Suedekum will be acceptable to the
minority party. even as a COM
promise. They go so far as to pre-
dict that if Ebert remains in power
the radical Socialists will organize
soviet groups all over the empire and
hurl the majority group from power,
just as Kerensky was overthrown in
Russia.
The result will mean that Germany
will be in the same state of political
and economic chaos that has existed

What form of government will Ger

public like our own or a Socialist

The chaos which has just begun in
Germany will shortly evolve some
sort of organization such as was
evolved in Russia. in the opinion OF
observers here, and the concensus is
that it will take the form of a po-
Iitical, constitutional, federal repub-
lie with a president and a constituent
assembly elected by direct vote of the
people.
Which Socialist Faction VIII Besss
Beyond question the Socialists will
control the new government. accord
ing to belief here. The question now
is. which Socialist faction will gain
control?
There are >two Socialist parties
which now are the gripping power in
Germany:
]. Majority Socialists or Social Dem
ocrats, headed by Scheidemann and
Ebert, now serving as chancellor. who
supported the war and were looked
on by radical Socialists all over the
world as instruments of autocracy.
.. Independent Socialists. headed by
Carl Liebknecht. who opposed the
war and fought for peace. but be-
cause they were in the minority were
prosecuted.
Friedrich Ebert, former editor OF n
Socialist newspaper. and member of

LABOR Is LOYAL
SAYS DANIELS
SECRETARY VERS
KEYNOTE MESSAGE.
Tells Indianapolis Labor Day Cele-
brants of How Workers of America
Have Heartened Allies by I'm
finching Aid to Government.

"In the crucial days thru which we
are passing, American patriotism and
confidence in victory mainly rest upon
the theory that American toilers are
loyal to the core"
That was the keynote of a message
delivered to labor of the country by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels at In
dianapolis, Monday, in a Labor Day
speech before a vast assemblage of
organized workers.
THE full and complete enlistment
of labor in this country has not only
heartened America, but it has as well
cheered and strengthened the heroic
men fighting for liberty across the
sea-" the secretary continued. 1.-THE
magnificent reception of Samuel Com
pers in Great Britain shows that labor
loyalty here has stimulated the spirit
of fighting to victory in all allied
countries"
With 100000 men under arms. the
farmers of America this year, Secre-
tary Daniels pointed out, have fur
nished S7S,000,000 bushels of wheat
as against an average crop of 600 ,0OO,-
900, and a proportionate increase in
barley and rye. They have produced
Il 500 900 bales of cotton as against
IL ,300,0 bales last year, and the
number of horses and mules at home
has been increased 454 900. despite
the shipment of thousands to the war
zone.
The number of milch COWS, he said.
has been increased 800 1000; other cat
tie. 100000; sheep, 100000, and
swine, 100000.
These figures" said the secretary,
illustrate what labor has done on the
farm with hundreds Of thousands of
its most vigorous men in the army
and navy"
Control of America for the next
generation, said the secretary, will be
in the hands of the men who were
fully enlisted in the war and for the
war.
IN the golden age Of the republic
now soon to dawn" said the secretary
in conclusion, when only men who
have made sacrifices Will be deemed
worthy of a seat in the council cham
bers, labor will come into its own. 1t
will not seek anything for itself that
it has not earned. II will ask moth
ing that will take what belongs to
others. 1t will not foregather only
with men of its own craft. but will
keep America free from class-con-
sciousness and from class-political ac-
ton. Ii will claim for itself Justice
and equality and will demand that all
Americans alike shall have no less;
the equal enjoyment of the birthright
Of all citizens of this free republic. T"

London, July 22.-Has the GREAT
ALLIED PUSH begun?
That's the great question of the war
today The sudden surprise counter
attack carried out so successfully by
the French and American armies be-
tween the Aisne and the Marine has
given rise to it.
1t is being answered in two ways by
allied military observers, who are
holding their breath in the suspense
accompanying the realization that
great events are about to transpire on
the western front s.,
One group believes that the allies
are not yet fully prepared for the
great smash, and that the offensive
was nicely local attack at an oppor-
tune moment. designed to flatten ou.
the scissors Chateau Thierry salient,
force the Germans to fall back on the
Marine and relieve the pressure
against Rheims,
The other group, which includes
many American critics, is certain that
the counter-drive is the preliminary
attack of the GREAT PUSH that will
drive the Germans out of France and
Belgium. i
They point to these facts to show
that this is the likely theory:

give you worse than they get. The home
business man is in the same position that
you are when neighbor comes to you and
wants a gentle, lady-broke driver for the
family. You are not liable to sell him skit-
fish bag of bones that's going to kick the
whole family into kingdom come, for, like
as not you have an idea that Mr.. Naybur
may want a horse again some time, and a
fair profit on two good horses usually is
bigger and more satisfactory generally than
an unfair profit on one bad one.
When a mans selling merchandise as
business, the first thing he does or seeks
to do is to build up good will and reputa-
ton for honesty and fair-dealing. The man
who accomplishes these results stays in bus
mess. That is why the men whose bust
ness is advertised in these columns are here;
that's why they were here last year, and
year before last. With some of them your
grandaddy traded when he came out here in
prairie schooner; with some of their grand
children you grandchildren will be trading
a long time hence. as 1884, #S 49,.
A square deal with the home merchant is
mere matter of ordinary business good
sense. He knows that, even were he SO in
clined-and we're proud to believe that we
haven't any of that brand in business in Bis
marck-he couldn't hook you today and ex-
pect to catch your neighbor tomorrow. And
when he says bring it back if it isn't satis-
factory" he means that, for he can much
better afford to take a loss on you than to
have you dissatisfied.
The biggest capital the average merchant
has is his good will. Without good will, with
out reputation for playing fair and doing
business on the square, without a belief on
the part Of his community that he's honest
adm sincere and a man who wants to see his
neighbors do well, the goods on his shelf
wouldn't be worth to him Is cents on the dol
lar on the purchase price.
Think it over, and see if it isn't pretty

This is the plan the majority Of the

The battles of the next few days
will decide whether the attack was
the beginning of Foch's great push or
merely counter-attack to harrass the
Germans and force them to slacken
their thrust for Rheims.
If il is the former, the assault on
the scissors front must be regarded
as only small part Of the grandest
operation Of the war.
