whom had removed their marks of

Berlin is dancing mad. There are
about fifty cabarets in the CITY and
dancing goes on all the afternoon and

time the edict closing dancing halls at
8 o'clock will be removed and dancing
then will continue all night. Ber,

China Soon to Denounce
Treaties With Russia
Japan Expected to Demand
Control of Manchurian Branch
of Siberian Railroad
Neac York Tribune
WdshinUtor Bureau

WASHINGTON, Dec. lit is un-
derstood that China soon will denounce
several treaties with Russia, by virtue
of which Russia, under the empire,
acquired special political and economic
rights in Outer Mongolia and Northern
Manchuria.
The treaties in question made both
territories Russian spheres and the
Russian government was believed to
have contemplated their future annex
alton. 1t was through Russian influ-
ence that Outer Mongolia freed itself
of Chinese administrative control.
The attitude of Japan toward the de-
mands of China at the peace confer
ence is unknown. According to some
Japanese authorities here, Japan will
return Kiau Chau to China, retaining
possession of former German proper
ties in that province and control of the
railroad.
1t is not known whether Japan will
demand the right to take Russia's place
in Northern Manchuria, but it is
considered likely that she will pre-
sent a claim for control of the Man
churian branch of the Transiberian
Railroad which would convert all Man
churia into japanese sphere.

Admiral CantO Elected
President of Portugal
Nations Representative in New
York Says ''Choice Is Aimed
to Conciliate Factions

LISBON, Portugal, Dec. 17.--Admiral
Canto Castro has been elected Presi-
dent of Portugal in succession to DR..
Sidonio Paes, who was assassinated
Saturday night.
Santos Fernandes, representative of
the Portuguese Shipping Board in New
York City. declared yesterday that the
new President Of Portugal, Admiral
Canto e Castro. undoubtedly had been
chosen by Parliament "to conciliate all
factions" Lacking complete informa-
tion, he said he believed Canto was
now provisional head Of the republic
and subject to a future popular cleo
ton.
President Canto is about fifty-five
years old and was born in Lisbon. He
comes of an old Azores family, is mar
rice and has several children Since
last September he had been Minister
of Marine and previous to that time
Was,.f Was chief is!, of staff of the Portuguese
Naval High Commission. In 1894 he
was Governor of Lorenzo Marquee
Delagoa. Bay, East Africa, and before
that was head of a sailors school at
Oporto. During the war and until he
became Minister of Marine, Admiral
Canto was in command of the
Portuguese naval patrol and coast de-
fence.
He is said to be scholar and popu-
lar with the masses, but was never in
politics. The fifth President of Portu-
gal in the past eight years, he took no
part in the revolution that deposed
President Machado. He accepted the
Portfolio of Minister of Marine re-
luctantly, it is said, preferring naval
command to public life.

No Food or Fuel, So Poor
OF Russia Sfay in Bed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.--Gloomy re-
ports of the situation in Russia, par
ticularly at Petrograd, continue to
reach the State Department. A dis
patch to-day announced that the Soviet
government has restricted the influx
of hungry and destitute prisoners re-
turning from German and Austrian
prison camps without officers or guards.
The condition of the middle classes
in Petrograd is said to be extremely
bad, and great numbers are dying
daily Of starvation. No fuel is avail
able, and the people are obliged to
keep to their beds day and night. No
supplies have reached the city for more
than two weeks.
The Bolshevik section is reported
gaining numerically because it con-
trolls the distribution of food. There
is increasing disorder in the adminis-
tration of affairs, according to these
advices, and such authority as exists
has no control over subordinate officers.

Plans for Shipping Control
Plans for continuing control of

window
Herr Mueller, in presenting the re-
port of the Executive Committee, an
nounced that Karl Kautsky had ex-
amined the documents in the German
Foreign Office and had been unable to
find that any had been destroyed. He
confirmed the report that the resgna-
tion of Dr.. Solf, the Foreign Minister,
had been accepted by the government.
The elections to a National Assem-
bly, in the former Duchy of Anhnlt,
which is the first German Federal state
to vote for a constituent body, resulted
to-day in a marked victory for the
Majority Socialists.
The Socialists polled 1929 votes,
against a total Of 66,951 for the COM
bined bourgeois groups. In the
Reichstag election in 1912 the Social
lists had 31,465, against 36,649 for the
bourgeois parties.
The increase in the number Of votes
was due to the lowering of the age
limit and the votes Of women.
The Anhalt National Assembly will
be composed of twenty-five majority
Socialists. twelve German Democrats
and two Conservatives. The indepen-
dent Socialist failed to get a suf1-
cient number of signatures necessary
to nominate a ticket. The "Middle-
stand" group, composed of subordi-
nate government officials, including
school teachers, failed to poll enough
votes necessary to have a representa-
tive in the assembly.
The elections to the National AS
sembly in the former Grand Duchy of
Mecklenburg were announced to the
Congress of Soldiers and Workmen's g
Councils as follows:
Socialists, two; Liberals, IS;
"Handicraftsmen." 3: and Peasant
party, 1.
A general meeting of the German
Independent Socialist party has de-
cided that the party shall vote in
favor of a National Assembly. This
is considered a great defeat for the
Spartacus group.

GOOD HOMES WANTED
FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN.

The Children's Welfare Department
Of the Ohio Board of State Charities is
asking the people of Ohio to help in the
gigantic task of eliminating tragedy
from the lives of some of the depend
ent children of the state.
The tragedy in the life of 9-year-old
Clarence is that he has glass eye and
consequently no foster home will open
it's doors to him. He is an intelligent
boy and normal in every other respect.
Institutions and boarding homes have
been his lot. A real home or anything
resembling parental love is an un-
known quantity to Clarence. Some
where in Ohio there must exist fam
lily with sufficient vision to realize that
glass eye does not make boy less
human.
Then there is Esther. She is IA.
Before she became ward Of the Board
of State Charities one limb had been
amputated. And the awful thing about
I that operation is that it was unneces-
sary. One of the best physicians in
Columbus refers to it as a stupendous
crime. Children come to the boarding
home where Esther lives and in a few
weeks they leave for foster homes. She
bids them CHEEKY farewell and then
voices the only lament to which she
ever gives expression, 20, if could
only 90 to home" Esther has the
beauty Of face and soul so ofte9sfpund
in those who are physically Aandi
capped. If she were not so intelligent
and so patient the tragedy of it all
would be less narrowing. 1t seems like
wishing. for the moon, but the Welfare
Department nevertheless does wish
that Esther's longing for home can
be satisfied.
There are little girls who have been
placed out and later returned because
foster mothers have developed nerves
or have discovered that child in the
house makes too much work. There
are boys from to IA whom nobody
wants. There are older girls who need
mothering more than the babies that
the whole world loves.
1t is impossible to touch even the
high spots in the tragedies which make
up the fabric Of the lives of many de-
pendent children. But through the
Children Welfare Department of the
Board of State Charities. Columbus,
the state is making an effort to ring
the curtain down on tragedy. In set
ting Of normal family life these chill
dren will forget their previous roles.
1 Upon all the children Of the nation
will rest the responsibility Of carrying
| on what we have won in Europe. To
make every child fit for this task is the
l,duty of society. Ohio is asking you
who are childless to perform your part
Of this duty and to provide the new
| setting which will blot the tragic past
from some child's life.

Of State Charities, Columbus, Ohio.

WOMEN IN INDUSTRY.

With thousands upon thousands Of
women working in the ammunition
plants, the mills and factories and
shops and everywhere, during war
times, 1t Is only natural to ask twill
they want to continue when the men
come homer" And it is also natural
enough to ask whether or not they
are getting the same pay as was ac-
corded the men whose places they
took. The answers to both questions
are easy-the women will, as rule,
be glad to leave this unusual and
often strenuous work, when the men
come homeland while they are work
ing now, the majority for patriotic
motives, they are content to accept
lower wages than the men receive or
did receive, says Florida Times
Union. 1t is not likely that the gov
ernment will go into the wage mat
tel much further than it has to date,
and the employers have many rea-
sons to give for not making the wages
equal. The proposition is looked upon
from both sides as temporary, and
America will be glad when things can
return to normal and men will be
ready for mans work and we'll pleased
to have the hands that have become
calloused from hard labor once more
white and soft ready to welcome them
to that greatest Of Institutions. the

THURSDAY, DECEMBER a6 1918

The great war has made 1t clear
that everybody counts. In time of
peace 1t often seems that many of
rs are scarcely needed. We can drop
out and the world goes on well with
out us. Some Of US can loaf contin-
uously, and others can work spasmod-
ically, and others still can dawdle Mt
their work, and no catastrophe seems
to follow. But In time Of war 1t is
made evident to all the world that
everyone is needed and that no one Of
Us can be spared. War to be sue
,cessfully carried on demands the full
measure Of devotion and the energy of
every one Of us. Each one must do
his bit and do it with vigor and eff
cheney. Let us not forget this when
the war is over. The highest inter-
ests Of mankind cannot be secured
without the forth-putting Of the
strength Of each and every one. The
reason why the world gets so shabby
in time Of peace is because there are
SO many slackers. Things begin to
brighten and to hum in wartime be-
cause so many Of the sluggards are
aroused and so many Of the shirks
cease their shirlang and go to work.

GERMAN PROPAGANDA
STILL RIFE IN u. s.

What may well be taken as
warning notice to American news
paper makers was issued by
George Creel, chairman of the
committee on public information,
at dinner of the American Slavic
conference. Mr.. Creel said that
never at any time since the out
break of the European war has
German propaganda been buster
in the United States than it is at
the present moment. The German
propagandists, women as well as
men, he added, are working over
time in an effort to create for
themselves an undeserved sym
pathy in America. He referred to
the message to Mrs. Wilson a few
days ago as an example of the
kind of propaganda the wireless
from Nauen is now flashing across
the Atlantic into the United
States.
Even the women of Germany
have joined in the propaganda
which is set in motion for our ben
eft," said Mr.. Creel, "and these
women, who never grieved for a
single moment when the Lusitania
with her innocent men, women
and children was torpedoed, who
never lifted their voice in protest
when the babies of Belgium were
slaughtered at the breasts of their
mothers, who had no word of pity
for poor, outraged Serbia, or the
horribly mistreated people of
northern France, are now flashing
their cry to America for sympathy
and for help, while the male
propagandists are holding out
| their hands dripping with blood
and begging for mercy.
"Think of it, a nation protest.
ing against an armistice the pur-
pose of which is to keep them
from fighting, and protesting at a
time when their pockets are full of
stolen property. The damnable
cant Of Germany is trying to
poison the mind of the world at
this late day."

Few Escape.

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortunate
who have but one and get through
with it quickly and without any serious
consequences. Take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and observe the direc-
tions with each bottle, and you are
likely to be one of the fortunate ones.
The worth and merit of this remedy
has been fully proven. There are
many families who have always used
it for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the very best
results.

M'ADoo SAYS REDEEM PLEDGES
Treasury Secretary shows Necessity
Of Continuing w. 8. s. Purchases.

Of Continuing w. 9. 8. Purchases.
Columbus, .-(special.)-A Assert
ing that this is not the time to re
lax our efforts" Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo In a personal tele-
gram to H. P. Wolfe, Ohio War Saw
ings director, most urgently urges
that your organization make every
possible effort to the end that pledges
for the purchase of War Savings
Stamps be fulfilled before the close
of the year."
Importance Of such pressure 10
pointed out by Secretary McAdoo,
whose telegram states that the gov.
ernment's monetary requirements
were never greater nor more pressing
than they are today. Expenditures
for November we're greater than any
similar period.
The ,telegraphic appeal continues:
"These expenditures growing out
of the war must be met by borrow.
ing from the people, and their mag
nifcent response heretofore to the
governments requirements makes me
confident that they will not fail to
continue their support to the end that
all payments resulting from war ne,
cessities will be promptly met. Much
remains to be done. Our brave troops
must be maintained and paid until
their work is fully accomplished and
they are returned to their homes.
"This is not a time for US TO relax
our efforts, and the treasury depart.
msnt is making plans for larger and
even more important work during the
coming year. Please make every Of
fort to urge upon the people in your
district the continued holding Of
their War Savings Certificates, the
fulfllment Of their pledges and addi-
tional purchases as their means per.
