With the patriotic rally last even
ing at the auditorium the prelinin-
airy conference of the. state workers
! for the. United War fund drive,
| closed its all day session.
The feature Of the evening was an
address by Prof. Fl. r. Harper of
! Boston who has just returned from
fifteen months service in the work
of the Poung Mems Christian assoc
citation in France. Mr.. Harper has
been in America only about two
weeks and is planning to enter the
army service in the near future. He
was heard with great interest.
Mr.. Harper's work brought him
! close to the battle at" Chateau
Thierry and he spoke most glowingly
OF the bravery and work Of the Am
erican men. He said that the num-
Der Of incidents of personal bravery
were almost endless but that one Of
the most amusing and, startling was
one that had been verified in which
an Is year old Chicago boy brought
in 81 captive Germans alone and I'M
armed while they were armed. The
+ American soldier. had been taken
captive and brought before a Ger
man officer who in questioning the
American said that they knew ex-
actly what troops were confronting
them and named them correctly.
What He Didn't Know. q.
"Yes," said the American boy, s'but
you don't know that Sixth marines
are also here and that you're sur
rounded. You haven't a chance in
the world of getting out of here. OF
course I'll probably be killed with
you, but the games up for you"
The old American game Of bluff
worked and the German officer and
his 81 men. gave themselves, up and
one unarmed American soldier
marched them back to the American
lines. He was given a guard by a
commanding officer to conduct his
prisoners to the rear but had gone
a few steps when he dismissed the
guard. "These fellows will follow me
anywhere" he said as he led them
back to the prison pen.
What Morale Means.
This was instanced by the speaker
as an evidence Of the morale of the
American army. an element in an.
army which Napoleon estimated
against munitions as three to one In
winning a war and which Premier
Clemenceau has said will win this
war. That the war department is

drill, Mr.. Harper, maintained and
cited the marvellous effectiveness of
the American artillery, telling Of one
group Of 60 batteries of guns each
that fired $4,000 shells a day, almost
as rapidly as machine gun fire. That
It had impressed the Germans was
shown by the request Of some Boche
prisoners, to be shown the new au-
tomato cannon, the firing having
come with such regularity and pre-
cision that they were convinced
that the Americans had invented an
automatic cannon.
That. this work belongs to the war
department. but that maintaining the
morale Of. the fighting forces is the
part that the public has to do and
that its means of doing it is through
support Of the seven ageAcies which
are doing welfare work with the SOL
diers and which are united in the
campaign for funds to be held Nov.

Law Blame on Ebert

Berlin, Wednesday, Dec. 25., 2 p.
m.-(Bv The Associated Press).-
Political leaders in Berlin mclud-
ing many who are not identified
with the present government were
disposed today to believe that the
Ebert-Haase government was no
longer intact as the result OF the
happenings OF Tuesday. The inde-
dependent socialists held that Pre-
mier Ebert was responsible tor the
predicament into which the gov
eminent was forced. They declare
that their representatives in the
government were not aware that he
had called on the troops in Pots
dam under Lieutenant General Le-
quis to oppose the sailors with
armed forces. Other circles OPP
posed to the government allege that
the cabinets compromise with the
sailors amounted to an abject ca
pitulation and was victory Tor
the radical elements and those OPP
posing the calling OF the national
assembly.

cited such interest here as the first
state visit OF an American presi-

The drive OF the short procession
from the station to the palace was
made through streets lined with
guard regiments in khaki. Fresh
flags hung overhead and covered
the buildings while windows, bal
comics, sidewalks and open spaces
were filled with people, many OF
whom wore the American colorS.
First came the sovereign's escort
OF troops from the household cav

rasSes. Then came the carriages
with King George and President
Wilson and Queen Mary, Mrs. VII
son and Princess Mary. These
were followed by three others
which passed almost unnoticed as
all eyes were on Mr.. and Mrs. Will
son and the royal family.
Although the trip was a short
one, it lay through a most interest

north side of Trafalgar Square, with
The Nelson monument towering on
the left and the National gallery on
the right, its gray walls almost coy

the residence OF the Duke OF Wei

Park where the procession turned.
