The Bees
Free Shoe Fund
To Buy Shoes
For Shoeless Children

On the cold and rainy days just
past, nearly so little children were
able to 60 to school dry shod,
just because of the Bee Shoe Fund.
When the school nurse finds a
child with a cold she sends him
home at once, to prevent possible
spread of the influenza contagion.
This means the child is deprived
of the instruction and training he
needs, for the good of the others.
How much better to provide him
with the means of warding off the
cold and thereby keeping his
health as well as receiving the
schooling provided for him. Are
you helping?

Berlin, Nov. 19-Via Amsterdam.
by Associated Press.)-For the
first time since the founding of the
German empire the "Marseillaise"
was played by a German band head
ing procession down Unter Den
Linden today.
Present indications are that saner
councils will dictate governmental
policy in Germany. The convening
of the constituent assembly is be-
ing urged in diplomatic and politi-
cal quarters not identified with the
present cabinet on the sole ground
that it will facilitate peace nego-
tiations. 1t is believed that Hugo
Haase, secretary for foreign affairs,
and Wilhelm Dittinann, secretary
of rehabilitation and transport,
justice and health, are receding
from the attitude that the new re.
public is to be purely socialistic. The
more moderate members of the gov
ernment are not disposed to rigidly
exclude bourgeoisie elements from
the government. DR.. Kari Liebk-
necht, the leader of the radicals. is
apparently deserted by his former
colleagues. Secretary Haase said:
Women Have Ballot.
AT present we are devoting our
efforts solely to urgent questions.
Every hour produces new problems.
The national assembly can be con-
yened only when the qualified vot-
ers list is completed. One of the
greatest difficulties encountered is
the compilation of the list of women
voters. who now have the ballot. A
new record .of the eligible male
voters is also needed, and the SOL
diers returning from the front must
be given opportunity to establish
legal residences. We propose to
invite the co-operation of bourgeois
parties in our various departments" ."
As the result of an attack on
police headquarters and resistance
by the police to soldiers, 16 members
of the police force have been exc
cuted. The police complained that
they had been kept in ignorance of
the progress of the revolution by
higher officials who deserted or hid
when the headquarters was attacked.
