MUST FEED GERMANS.
II Allowed to Starve They Can Not
Pay Huge Debts of War.

London, Nov. ia note of deep
anxiety lest the situation in Ger
many degenerate into Bolshevism is
struck by all the editorials in the
London newspapers today. The con-
tinued absence of information which
would tend to throw further light on
the fragmentary one sided knowl-
edge of the actual social and admin
istrative situation in Germany, pre-
vents the formation of absolutely con-
elusive views here.
President Wilson's Timely counsel
is hailed with unanimous editorial ap-
proval, and his warning that hunger
leads to madness is quoted as touch
ing a vital chord. 1t is admitted
by newspapers Of all shades of po-
litical opinion that Germany must be
fed, if only as business proposition,
inasmuch as if she starved to death
she could not pay What she owes.
The Time, remarking that the
combination Of hunger and revolu-
ton is highly perilous, says common
humanity and common sense alike
compel the feeding of Germany, and
lilelI l1lC dIAASd1 VI I1SIUclL ~. I1OOVSI,
the American food administrator, will
facilitate the work.
The Daily News, commencing Pres
ident Wilson's 'tsane humanity" says
the deliberate. starving Of Germany
would be nothing but stupid crime
and stamp the brand of hypocrisy
upon ali the allied professions.
The Daily Express says starving
nation would be a Bolshevik nation
and that Bolshevik Germany would
be az grave q menace as a Hohen-
zollern Germany.
The appeal Of Foreign Minister
Solf while it is regarded in some
quarters as merely confirmatory Of
the genuineness Of the distress, is
viewed elsewhere with suspicion.
The Morning Post, however, calls
DR.. Solf's appeal impudent- The
Times refers to his "veiled threat of
abiding .vindictiveness', and wonders
where the real authority resides
which solf affects to represent.

from a letter received by Mrs. g. p.
Exum from her brother, Lieut.. w. D.
Boykin:
My Little Dugout.
Underground, France, 10-15-f8.
Fly Dear ISIS
~ Aain't it hell-just as we get over
here and get everything cooked and
primed-these damn scoundrels be-
GIN to giving UP and running for their
old Fatherland. They run for home
SO fast that it is almost impossible
for us to keep up with them, and we
are almost getting more Of them thar
we can feed.
I wish you could see some Of the
dugouts and places of habitatior these
darn scoundrels are leaving, that is
the places they have been holding for
the past four years.. some Of them
are a darn sight better fixed up than
lots Of our homes in the States. All
kinds Of furniture, pianos, barber
shops, chickens, cows, flower gar
dens, cabbage patches, pool rooms,
and some of them, ia fact most OF
them even have wall paper in their
dugouts Had furnaces and big Goa!
bins plum full Of coal in lots of the
officers dugouts. They were just
fixed up for life-until suddenly one
i day old Man Sam entered the big
game-and now Fritzie Boy is looking
for a little more wholesome spot on
the globe, which viii be pretty hard
for him to find-if old Man Sam
don't call us off OF them pretty soon
because I tell you what these wild
Cats" are awfully swift birds"
Only wish that could tell you more
OF the funny and interesting ex-
periences I'm having, but as an officer
and gentleman can't, so I'll jus;
hold them till I can put my head on
Sour dear sweet shoulder once mere
chen I'll tell you all.
Must run along now as I must ge;
some sleep today. for we are quite
fashionable here, you know. We have
sleepless nights. That's quite tbs
thing in this part Of the world.

Whole life has been given to the cause
Of liberty and nationality. which he
3 has tried to realize by Strengthening
and deepening the spiritual and cul-
tnral life of his people. He \is really
the last Of the "awakeners" of Bo-
heInia. He has always urged his peo-
pie to assimilate the progressive ideas
o4 other nations, particularly those Of
the western democracies.
He became known throughout Eu-
rope before the war as the fearless
critic of the brutal and reactionary
fegime that held Austria-Hangary in
Nsgrasp. Every attempt at injus-
ties was sure to fnd him in the op-
GDGtton. The attempt to rouse anti
S4mitfsm in Austria through accusa-
fsns OF ritual murder failed largely
Because Of his noble defense OF the
Jews When the ffty-three Jugoslavs
were convicted Of treason in the cele-
btated Agram tria! Of 1909 and SEN
fShced to death, Masaryk proved that
the documents that had supplied the
pfom of their conviction had been
fsfged by officials Of the Austro-
Hungarian Foreign Office in order &c
Bring about war with Serbia. It can

tfakn bureaucrats have hated him.

He does demand, however. that while

have hitherto suppressed. Dr. Ma
Saryk. is not opposed to federalism

Washington, Nov. 12.-Control OF
the German fleet by revolutionists
factions of whom are reported to
have urged, resistance to the allies
and the United States may interfere
with the carrying out Of the amend
ed armistice provision. that vessels
designated to be interned be ready to
leave German ports seven days after
cessation Of hostilities.
At the end Of the seven day pc
riod, which will expire at midnight
next Sunday, the designated units of
the fleet, the armistice provides,
must be completely disarmed.
In some quarters tonight fear was
expressed that with the German
navy in disorganized condition .ow-
ing to the revolution, the necessary
preparations for turning over the YES
sells might not be completed in the
period specified.
In such an event two courses were
regarded as open-either extension by
agreement Of the associated govern
ments of the time period Of forcible
seizure. Should forcible seizure be
necessary it was thought resistance
by the disorganized crews would be
2. hopeless enterprise.
Secretary Daniels said today the
allied and American navies were
prepared fully to deal with any sit
.uation that might arise.
Pending completion Of the SURF
render Of the ships demanded and
d;sarming of others. and particularly
while any submarines remain in Ger
Yand hands, Secretary Daniels said
there would be no relaxation in the
protection of troop ships and other
vessels.
