New-York tribune., 1918-12-22

NTHE assembling on Monday of the Ma
tional Congress of Soldiers and
N Workmen's councils at Berlin
marked considerable progress tow
ard clearing up the muddled political stu
alton in Germany. For more than month
in fact, ever since the Socialist Revolu-
tion-the course of future DEVELOPMENTS
seemed extremely obscure. Was there to be
constitutional convention or not? And
when would it be elected. when begin it's
work of giving the German people new
political system? Would there be an i'm
mediate swing to fully developed socialism,
with the naturalization of all important in
dustries? Would there be dictatorship of
the proletariat? Would German unity itself
3 be preserved, or would the country break
up INTO several independent republics.
Would any form of government be evolved
from the present chaos which the Allies and
the United States would regard as capable
Of signing the peace treaty in behalf of Ger
many?
All these questions have been asked daily
on both sides of the Atlantic for more than
month, and the dispatches from Germany
have been eagerly watched for answers to
them. During the first week or two of the
revolutionary regime the uncertainty and
confusion were at the maximum. Any snis-
ter outcome then seemed possible-the
whole economic structure of the country
might be wrecked in helter-skelter at
tempt to nationalize industries; capital
might be largely swept away on a mad wave
of Bolshevism, and Germany itself might
be dissolved into it's component states or
provinces. DR.. Liebnecht and his SPARTA
cdes' then appeared to be a tremendous
menace to anything like stability and order
and Kurt Eisner head of the revolutionary
government of. Bavaria, seemed disposed to
break away from the Berlin authorities and
set up a separate state. Secession plans
were also believed to be entertained in
Western Germany.

Danger in the
~ Conflict of Authority

The most ominous development in those
fict of authority between the Socialist gov
ernment and the Workmen's and Soldiers
councils Ebert, the Socialist Chancellor,
had received his appointment from Prince
Max at the time when the Kaiser abdicatea.
breach first occurred; no Chancellor can, un-
der the old constitution, derive his author
ity from his predecessor. But the councils
did not accept the view that Socialist min
listers could take over the power from the
old regime the new power established In
Germany was revolutionary power; hence
1t was for the councils to exercise it. In
other words, the government must be the
creature of the councils. That view was
put forth by the executive committee Of the
councils and it was accepted by Ebert and
ms colleagues. Hence a new system was
set up several days after Ebert took over
the Chancellorship. The two Socialist par
ues, the old Socialists and the Independents
having again become united. a compromise
was arranged. The Chancellership was abol-
ished for the time being, and six peoples
commissioners, three from each wing of

with the roof nearly shot away, SO that
we could light a fire on the earthen
floor and send the wooden cinders fly

We were joyful, awaiting the supper
hour. Meriadec, a Breton from Fou-
CERES, felt his soul attuned to the occa-
sion, for while he peeled potatoes he
hummed the old Christmas songs of his
birthplace.
Ma fol, j'irai, Sainte Verge,
Je prendrai tous mes atours
Je peign'rai ma belle chevelure
Qui pend jusqu'a talons.
Je prendra ma rich coiffure,
Ma Jeanette, mes anneaux dor.

Have you finished singing out of
your nose all the songs of your grand
mother" cried railing Partisan to the
sentimental Breton.
The former answered to the name of
Versepied. He was the prototype Of
the Partisan street wit, full of persi-
fage and solemn featured irony
Meriadec, without answering him,
glanced outside through the open door
of the barn and said:
"Ah There goes Real!'
''The Grand Duke! He's certainly a
lugubrious bird
The officer whom the Partisan thus
designated was an adjutant of forty
years, very tall, with blue eyes set high
in his head, and with a face so impene-
trable that no one had yet seen him
crack a smile. The twelve men busy

justices showed no antagonism to the

took their petty cases before Judge
Brinker when they had no other al

did the defendants even if as much.

HELPING THE RED CROSS
BY Lucille Browning

By Lucille Browning
Are you helping the Red Cross? Do
you belong to any of the war workers
clubs? If you don't you really ought
to join one of them, or at least do
what you can to help the Red Cross
supply our boys with their various
needs. Perhaps you will argue that
you don't want to work unless you are
sure that your work will be given to
some COlored Sammy. Well, if you
feel that way about it you really ought
to change your ideas on the subject.
We can't afford to argue over small
points just now, because while we are
wasting our time arguing, the boches
will be gaining ground daily. Our OBJ
ject is to save the man power of the
country as far as possible, to keep
our men, regardless of color or creed,
warm, we'll fed and in good spirits.
1t is just as right to save white SOL
der as it is to save black one in this
war, and vice-versa. When the war
s over, if prejudice hasn't entirely
vanished, there will be plenty of time
and opportunity to get rid of it, and
speedily too. But just now it will
take united effort on the part of all
of our men and women, black and
white, yellow, red and brown, to win
complete victory-and we can't be
satisfied with anything less than abso-
lule victory. And just as we shall
conquer Germany as a nation, so as a
race, will the Black Man conquer pre-

1t isn't too early to begin on winter
supplies for the soldiers, because it
takes some time to make sweater or
a helmet, especially if you can only
work on it a little while each day.
The English women have found
substitute Tor the knitted sweater. It
is the "glove waistcoa:," which is
made OF waste material discarded xii
gloves and is therefore much cheaper
to make than the knitted sweater. II
is lined, but the lining IS very mex
pensive, as it takes very Ii Tie.
Such waistcoat can be made in .
day or Two, and it weighs only a few
ounces. When it is not in use it can
be carried in the pocket. Not only is
it windprOOf and warm, but it is also
vermin proof-a thing that makes it
doubly valuable to the wearer. There
are so many thousands of the women
in America that several thousand of
these waistcOats could be made for our
men with but very small cost.
The knitted helmet shown is made
as follows:
Material needed: 1 pair No. 2 knit
ting needles; 1 hank yarn.

War Photographs Of Louisiana

John Marshall, Secretary of the
Louisiana State Conncil of De
fense, has again been called upon
by the Council of National De-
fense and the U. S. War Depart
ment, asking that every effort be
made to secure war photographs in
Louisiana which will be used to
complete the officials files showing
the part that this State took in the
great war that is now being waged.
The War Department asks that
Mr.. Marshall give this request the
widest publicity, and persons hsv-
ing kadak or camera pictures
showing the departure of troops,
patriotic meetings, celebrations, or
any thing in connection with war
wor which would prove of interest
in future years, are asked to send
them Immediately to the Office of
the State Council of Defense, Ba-
ton Rouge.
Several parishes are already
complying with this request and
are seeing tn II that fhair rasnac
tive communities will be we'll re-
presented when the history of
Louisiana in war-work is finally
told.
The State Council of Defense is
very anxious to comply with this
request of the War Department
and urges upon every one to assist
as far aspossible.
