ABOARD THE U. S. 8. ARKAN-
SAS, Nov. 21 6 p. m.).-Seventy Ger
man warshtps lie in sulky silence IN
the Firth of Forth.
They are surrounded by more than
two hundred allied battle craft which
are prepared to guard them until
peace Is signed.

tasteful orders Of the German people
delivered this powerful fleet 10 the
allies. who are represented pr1nci-
pally BY the British navy. Five
American dreadnaughts ana three
French warships assisted In the cere-
mony.
AS seen from the crows nest OF
the Arkansas, this spectacle was not
dramatic. First there appeared OH
the port bow, in direct line with the
rays of the sun, the British observa-
ton balloon, towed by the British
cruiser Cardiff. which went yester-
day to escort the Germans to tne
rendezvous. A few seconds later,
through the haze across the suns
path, appeared low. black shape,
which gradually took the form OF
battle cruiser, the smoke pouring
from her two tunnels. This was the
Seydlitz.
The Seydlitz passed out of the
path Of the sun, growing indistinct
though still remaining visible. An
other appeared-the Moltke. Then
came the Hindenburg. the Derfninger
and the Van Der Tam, in single file.
They all loked alike to the layman
at distance, but the enthusiastic en-
signs in the crows nest promptly
identified each one.
The Germans found themselves
passing between two lines OF war
ships six miles apart. Each line was
fifteen miles long. The line OF Ger
man ships was only slightly less.
The allied fleet was divided into
squadrons according to the ships
class. AS the German corresponding
squadrons came alongside, the allied
warships counter-marched and escort
ed them to the Firth of Forth.
Thus our ships, nicknamed by the
British the death or glory squadron"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-That the
war depar tment will keep hands off in
the matter of universal military train
ing unless asked specifically for it's
views, was the opinion in general staff
quarters today.
Indications are that the president
directly, or through Secretary OF War
Baker must sponsor the idea, else
congress will have to ask the war de-
partment for it's suggestions. 1t was
said that indications now are that the
military men themselves would not at
tempt to urge such training unless
asked to do so by the president, sec
retary of war, or congress. STAFF Of
fcers profess to be in ignorance OF
what policy the administration will
offer. The general staff has made a
study of the subject and is ready to

these are desired.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PLAN
by L. c. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent

by L. C. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-One mo-
mentous session Of congress having
just passed into history, the next
one, likely to be even more impor-
tant, holds the attention Of official
Washington today.
Within ten days the third and final
session of the sixty-fifth congress will
assemble. The paramount issue Of
that session is:
Shall congress recapture from the
executive branch of the government
powers conferred under stress Of
war, and assert itself as the consti-
tuted authority to initiate and direct
reconstruction policies, or shall
President Wilson keep these powers
and exercise as an executive function
the necessary reconstruction meas
ureS?
There are numerous off-shoots from
this main issue. One is the repub-
lican denial Of democratic right to
enact tax law fixing the levies for
1920. This threatens to tie up in
definitely report by the senate
finance committee on the tax bill and
to postpone final enactment of the
measure until next spring.
Another is the public ownership
issue, which is so entangled with the
general cause Of dispute as to bring
uneasiness to both administration
and republican forces. Public owner
ship has a bipartisan following In
both houses. But public ownership
of utilities taken over by the gov
ernment during the war Is condemned
by the republican "old guard" leaders
as a democratic plan to create a
socialistic state. The test on this
question is expected to come on a
bill giving the government permanent
control of the wire systems OF the
country which it Is believed, the ad-
ministration will back.
Upon such a bill three -cornered
fight would be made. One group COM
posed both of democrats and repub-
licans would oppose it out of hostility
to public ownership Of anything. An
other would fight it because of par
tisan political opposition to any re-
construction measure backed by the
present administration. The third
group would assail 1t because of per
sonal animosity to Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson who now controls the
wire system, and who has long ad-
vocated public ownership.
Republicans will demand abroga-
tion of all presidential war powers
and handling of reconstruction prob
lens largely by congress. They
foresee, they said today, that an
effort will be made to hurry through
the next session which ends March
8, 1919, all necessary reconstruction
legislation with view to preventing
an extra session March 4. That ses-
sion, If called, will be controlled by
republicans. They assert that they
will make an extra session impera-
tive by delaying action on vital

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-That
President Wilson will participate ac-
lively in the campaign against Boil
shevism while in Europe, was the in
timation of his friends here today.
He is expected to make speeches
not only in France, but certainly in
Italy and probably in England, set
ting forth the aim of the associated
governments to uphold the cause of
free peoples and support law and
order that the world may rapidly re-
sumo its normal course again.
The keynote of his proposed effort
is expected to be sounded in a speech
or message to the people OF this
country before he sails.
Or it may be covered in his mes
sage to congress, outlining what he
believes to be the fundamentals of
this nations readjustment work.
Meantime behind the glamor of the
presidents forthcoming trip, the dip
lomats of the world are working
feverishly to compile their data for
the peace conference and determine
upon the main propositions which
must be cleared away promptly that
trade may be resumed and employ
ment made available for the millions
who have been under arms or at war
work for years.
1t is pointed out that danger comes
with idleness and for that reason dip
lomats are anxious to have the prin-
cipal questions of the peace confer
ence disposed of rapidly, that men
may turn from guns and suspicion to
toll and profit.
Russia is striving to be represent
ed at the peace conference as a
stable nation.
Diplomats here see this angle in
Admiral Kolchak's seizure ST the
Omsk government, for they believe
he is seeking to bring order In Rus
sia to dodge Bolshevism, to have
Russia do her own policing and thus
escape long continued, or increased
allied-American policing. If he can
succeed in getting stability, Russian
authorities hold that nation will seek
seat at the table.
Prince Lvoff Is consulting with
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Lansing. Russia wants eco
nomic aid and Is opposed to increased
associated policing.
Another phase of peace speculation
here, among diplomats, concerns the
Rhonelands. Diplomats declare Prus-

tory to avoid some of the indemnity

Germans Seek Revenge.
[By ]. w. T. Mason, United Press
War Expert
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The failure
Of the German revolutionists to en-
gage in exuberant celebrations Of
, their newly won popular rights con-
tinues it's suspicious manifestation Of
sullen resentfulness against the dem
ocratic nations of the world.
The Germans are not preparing to
enter the peace conference as the
representatives of nation that has
been redeemed from the medieval
blight of the Hohenzollern rule. On
the contrary Germany is following a
course of democratic inaction that
will inevitably lead to her future iso-
lation among free nations, unless a
change of spirit overtakes the pres
ent attitude of the German people.
| Germany is now a defeated nation,
but If the democratic leaven had
worked it's way through the mass, the
people would not show, even in de-
feat this gruesome silence in the
presence of human liberties that
never before have been theirs. The
Germans exhibit every evidence Of
already beginning to plot for revenge.
Their retirement from France and
Belgium has been marked by final
cruelties furtively perpetrated on the
inhabitants It Is impossible to over
look the fact that some tie, stronger
than the natural antipathy between
democracy and reaction Is holding
together in these revolutionary days,

conservatives.

Tuesday no beef or pork products
should be used. Until April 18th NUT
ton may be used on all days.
The prime purpose of the Temporal
Fy change in the meatless schedule was
to strengthen our wheatless program
by permitting the larger use Of meats.
1T is expected as soon as the shipping
situation improves to the extent hop

Of meat that the old program of meat
will be resumed.
In the mean time make it plain to
the people of your county that the
