The report Of food riots taking place in
the city of Cologne during the last few
days, as the result of which machine
guns were used on the rioters, means
that there may be important police duty
just ahead of the American and other
allied forces which are marching toward
the Rhine. Cologne is one of the cities
which are to be occupied by the allies
during the time when Germany is max
ing good her obligations to the allies;
and these riots must have taken place
with the advancing allied armies only a
comparatively short distance away. The
coming of the allies, however, ought to
have tendency to quiet the disturbances
and perhaps to relieve some Of the suffer
ing of the populaoe. And it should be
the purpose of the allies to quell dis
turbances in all occupied territory as
promptly as possible so that Germany
can get back on her feet industrially
and begin to make up the vast indemnity
which the allies will most likely demand.

show their disapproval. 1t is probable,
too, that the aloofness of the Germans is
due, in measure, to fear that the
atrocities such as the Germans inflicted
on the civilians of France and Belgium,
will be avenged upon them by the Amer
leans, the British and the French. So
they close their shutters, lock their doors
and have just as little communication
with the soldiery of their enemies as pos
sible. However, if they knew the temper
Of the allies they would have nothing to
fear from that direction, nothing what
ever, for the armies of the United States,
Great Britain and France have never
waged war in its most fearful forms on
women and childrenj and those armies
will not depart from their usual habits
even to seek revenge for the terrible suf-
fering imposed on civilians of their own
nations, When this conviction sinks into
the minds of the folks Of Germany there
may be a loosening Of the tension on the
part of the inhabitants. But that prob
ably will make no difference to the Amer
leans, who care little for the attitude of
the Germans so long as the latter main
tain themselves according to the usual
forms Of decency.

PERSHING'S OFFICIAL REPORT TO
WAR DEPARTMENT.

The report submitted to the war de-
partment by General John J. Pershing
commander of the American expedition
airy forces in France, covering the opera
tions of the American forces up to the
time of the signing Of the armistice,
makes the first official and explicit de.
scription of the battles in which the
Americans were engaged. The report is,
of course, only of fragmentary sort, be-
cause detailed and connected resume of
the activities of the army would 60 far
beyond the bounds Of single document !;
but the description is sufficient to estab-
lish definitely the identity of various di.
visions engaged in particular battles and
it tells of the movements of those di-
visions from one field of operation to an
other, while it also recounts meagrely
the results Of the engagements. General
Pershing's report serves to increase the
eagerness of the American people to re-
ceive more detailed account of the
splendid work performed by the Amer
lean forces, as it furnishes confirmation
of the early reports of the very impor-
tant part which the American army
played in the decisive victory, which re-
suited in the acceptance Of the allies
terms by the Germans. General Per-
shing seems to fasten securely the claim
that it was really the American army
or rather the second and third divisions
OF that army, which really saved Paris
from the horrors of occupation by the
hordes of men in field gray. These dix
visions, by standing fast on the bank Of
the Marine, infused new courage into the
hearts of their allies in arms and then
by making steady advance against the
conquering and confident foe, strength
ened the sword of the allies for new eff.
forts. General Pershing does not say in
so many words that the Americans saved
Paris, but HIS words are easily capable
of such Interpretation That commenda.
ton, coming from the more or less reti.
cent commander of the Americans, fires
the hearts of all Americans with new
enthusiasm over the fine achievements Of
the American army.

The part of the German populace, then

Milwaukee, Frank j. Koran, 3409
Chestnut street, Milwaukee, an engin-
eer on Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul train, was shot in the right
shoulder while passing through Elm
wood Park, a suburb of Chicago, Sat-
urday afternoon. Koran managed to
apply the air brakes before he fell to
the floor of the cab, and Robert Wat
son, his fireman, brought it to a stop.
A passing auto was hailed and the
injured man conveyed to Jefferson
Park hospital, where it is said that he
will recover. The Chicago police are
of the opinion that the shot was fired
in the woods that line the track by
boys who were hunting. The fact that
a troop train was passing the scene
at the time led employees of the road
to believe that the shot may have
been directed at it, but this theory is
discarded by the police.
Mr.. Koran is a relative of John
O'Brien and family, 629 Twelfth

here, having frequently visited in

organized to play during the coming

to remain idle or play outside.
The league was organized by elect
ing John c. Cruel president and r..
M. Hahn secretary and treasurer. The
following managers were named who
are to pick the teams: R. S. Keel, H.
W. Kronitz, Will Richards, R. M.
Hahn, William Beisner. These with the
president and Will Carey are to act
as a board of directors. Fred Hinze
will oversee the grounds. The board
of directors will attend to all the de-
tails of organizing, fix the opening
date, arrange the schedule and solicit
the necessary funds.
All intending ball players who de-
sire to enter either one of the teams
are requested to hand in their names
