 This pTesages their determination to fight to the bitter end to retain con- trol over their conquered possessions. How far the people will support them in their determination to stake every thing on the outcome of the terrible test at arms remains to be seen.

 Possibly the people will rise in their might and throw off the military yoke that has chafed them for so long. If they do 1t will be against great odds and with the cooperation of the army German civilians have no chance to resist their rulers as long as the mili- tary remains loyal to the kaiser and shoots down those who revolt.
 Germany is one of the few European states that have not been greatly af- fected by past revolutions in contin- ental Europe. The reason is, this military caste owes it's existence to the kaiser. It is, therefore, absolute ly loyal to the kaiser. Tn 1848 the revolution in France spread to Ger many, and a movement was begun to win for the Germans the freedom en- joyed by the French. The king of Prussia granted concessions to the re- form element, but when he was sure of his strength he recalled all his promises and hunted down the lead CTS. Some of them, including Carl Schurz, escaped to the United States; others of them were shot

PEACE PLANS GO AGLIMMERINe

The outlook for an early peace is not nearly so bright as it was a week ago. The minds of the peoples at war, oc- cupied temporarily with contempla- tions of peace, are turning again to the frightful enterprise of fighting on until decisive victory is gained by a preponderance of arms. Reason has fled and Europe is again resolving it. self into mad house. Even the poor Bolsheviki-willing to pay almost any price for peace-have broken off all negotiations with the enemy and now propose to make some sort of a mill tary demonstration.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1s.-The Boy Scouts of America organization in this city, which a year ago mum. bered 190 members, now has approxi. mately 1900 youngsters enrolled. ac. cording to officials in charge. With the enormous increase in membership has come the need of additional finances to properly take care of and educate the boys along the lines of organization. Foremost among the needs is permanent camp of instruc- tion, and it has been decided that $10,000 will be necessary to make this a reality.
 At the present time 75 men are giv- ing their services free in the matter of instructing the boys, but it has been found that the number is inadeuuate and that the roster of instructors will have to be augmented
 With view to meeting these fnan. cial needs a committee composed of well-known business men of the city are organizing three-day drive for $50,GQO At recent meeting H. D.

President Wilson has suggested that when peace is declared an economic freedom between nations be inaugu- rated.
