SIGNAL SUCCESS
Invitation to Revolt Against
Kaiser's AutOCracy Seems
To Be Bearing Fruit
By J. w. T. Mason

w iIJlGn IOA thO AHllNu ItOSl
New York, Jan. 31.-The invitation
of tie Bolsheviki to the German work
ingmen to revolt against the kaiser s
Iimperialistic government has won its
first serious success.
The formation of a workingman s
council in Germany demanding the
right to negotiate with the govern
ment is due to the influence of the
German democracy. When workingmen
in semi-autocratic country like Ger
many form central committees and in
sist that they be recognized by the
government as spokesmen for labor
that is the beginning of revolution
The extent to which the revolution
may be carried depends on the deter.
mination of the leaders and the spir
it of the people.
To predict is unnecessary; rather
must the developments speak for them
selves. The fact is important, howev-
ler, that the anti-governmental move
ment in Germany is both economic and
political. The workingmen are strik-
ing, not only for higher wages, but
also as a protest against continuing
the war to realize Pan-German ambi
tions.
A union of aims such as these is al
ways, in itself, sign of revolution.
The key to the immediate develop
ment of events in Germany is undoubt
edly at Brest- -Litovsk. Nothing could
have happened to give more strength
to Trotsky's position than the Ger
man strikes coming on the eve of the
Ire-opening of peace negotiations with
Russia. Trotsky's prestige has been
enormously incpeased. He can claim
that the working people of Germany
Iare endorsing him and repudiating
their own negotiators.

OPEN AIR DIPLOMACY
By Robert j. Bender

4 Omitted Press staff correspondent
| Washington, Jan. 81. = Unrest in
Germany-and particularly in Austria
hungary-is attributed bv high gov
Iernment officials today to "open air
| diplomacy"
Confidential reports show that a
grave situation is facing the Austrian
government in the demands Of its peo-
pie to throw off the militaristic yoke
of the Pan-Germans.
This movement has been encouraged
for several weeks by the wide distri-
button of this country's war aims
throughout Austria-Hungary. For tho
first time America has a means of
reaching the ears of the Austrian pop
ulace.
As stated by the United Press re-
Gently, the United States has been car
ryinr on a propaganda in the open
with Austrlans and Bulgarians, as
well as the Russians, to show them that
victory under the Pan-Germans means
ultimate disaster for these countries.
ConfidentiaP returns, showing the eff
feet of this "moral offensive have
greatly encouraged President Wilson
Too much hope should not be plac-
ca III CHe GeIludH StTlh0SJ olIlcldlo
warn, because the strong arm of the
Teuton military forces still controls;
but in Austria there is ground for con-
fidence in the outcome, it is stated
In addition to the great strikes,
widespread dissatisfaction is reported
among the Czech and Slovane soldiers.
The Czechs and socialists have openly
demanded also that Count Czernin try
to open up direct negotiations with
President Wilson on peace.
The feeling is growing throughout
the empire that this country's war
aims leave the Austro Hungarians lit
tie to fight about President Wilson 8
avowed determination to have Ameri-
ca give and receive pledges that will
assure national security for all has
made a deep impression on the Aus
trian working class, official reports
show.
It is agreed among high officials
here that the allies must now. more
than ever before, present a solid front
against Germany-and meantime car
ry on the work Of educating the Ger
man and Austrian peoples in the real
purposes of the allies and the sinister
ones of the central empire rulers.

Physical Requirements
Have Been Modified

Washington, Jan. 31.-Changes in the
national army by which thousands who
have been or would be rejected under
the first regulations can now be accept
ed for service, were announced by Pro
vost Marshal General Crowder.
The notifications indicates that the
war department is determined to hold
for service--either general military or
special-all men registered except those
whose physical condition can never be
remedied to make them fit for any
kind of service.
Physical defects that can be remedied
and make the men fit for service will
be remedied or the men put into some
special work, not so rigorous as trench
fighting, Crowder says.
Height and weight requirements were
both lowered and increased. Flat foot
or club and claw foot and several foot
troubles no longer are causes for re-
lection and local boards are ordered to
"reject no foot cases."
Any reflections for these troubles must
be made by the medical advisory board.
Chances for rejection for eye and ear
defects were greatly lessened and the
dental requirements were modified. Her
MIA and similar troubles, the cause of
many reflections, under the first draft,
must be very serious to win rejection.
Onl complete nasal obstruction will re-
iect, which means that adenoids and en-.
larged tonsils are no cause.
The minimum height for men of the
army was lowered from 6l to SO inches
by the new regulations, although all
the cases of men between So and 60
inches must be referred to the medical
advisory board by the local physicians.
Practically all the maximum height
restrictions were removed indicating
that Uncle Sam sees no reason why
the giants should not fight. The old
regulations placed the limit at six feet
three inches, but the new orders provide
that men above six feet six inches, may
be accepted if they are well proportions
ed.
The weight minimum was lowered
from 10 to 100 pounds, although these
whose weight is less than 100 pounds
because of illness are to be held for SER
vice pending better health. Only ex-
treme cases Of obesity are to cause over.
weight rejection. Registrants in good
physical condition but under the weight
requirement for certain heights are to
be accepted.
Spinal troubles must interfere serious
ly with weight bearing power to cause
rejection and the wearing of a plaster
Jacket will not of itself disqualify the
registrant.
Color blindness win no longer be a
cause for exemption.
IF man has six good teeth on each
Jaw he viii be taken.
Formerly if three were missing the
man would be rejected.
Venerial diseases will reject only
