German Reorganization.

Today's dispatches announce that a
complete agreement has been effected
between the Ebert provisional govern
ment Of Germany and the council of
soldiers and workmen. Under this
agreement, which would appear to be
an absorption of the Ebert admins
tration by the socialists, Germany is
mentioned as republic" All power
is to be centered in the council of
soldiers and workmen pending the
formation of permanent government.
The council is to prevent all counter
revolutionary activity. An assembly
is to be formed by representatives
from the various soldiers and work
mems councils throughout the coun-
try. The revolution has apparently
been completed.
Just where this agreement leaves the
"Spartacus" or radical faction does
not appear. Liebnecht. the leader of
this group, insists that all authority
shall be vested in the councils "until
the fruits Of the revolution can be
safeguarded." Thus it would appear
that in some measure at least, possibly
fully, the Liebneeht faction has tri-
umphed. One of its doctrines is that
all banks, principal industries and
great landed properties should be vest
ed in the state. 1t also seeks to ex-
clude the bourgeoise from participa-
ton in national affairs.
The workers and soldiers coun-
ellis, it is reported from Copen-
hagen, have proclaimed O!dcnburg,
Oestfriesland, Bremen, Hamburg and
Sehleswig Holstein a republic. At the
same time a movement is in progress
and gaining ground to separate the
Rhineland as a republic distinct from
the rest of Germany.
Plainly the tendency in Germany
at this time is toward division into
small political units, whatever may be
the result of the radical movement
which seeks concentration of power in
the soldiers and workmen's council.
The breakup of Germany into small
states is to be desired as an insur-
ance for international peace, but the
development of bolshevism is distinct
ly q menace, which cannot be meas
ured until the Germany army has been
demobilized and the soldiers have re-
turned home to take part in the po-
litical reorganization now in progress.
There is today no danger of a re-
newal of hostilities by Germany
against the entente. Marshal linden
burg has categorically declared to the
Berlin government that the German
army, because of the hard terms of
the armistice and the internal situa-
tion, is in no position to renew fight
ing, adding that even operations
against the French army alone would
be impossible. This, however, does
uot mcau tudt tHe Ldbh VI tite dI1leu
armies is completed. 1t may have to
remain on guard against the POSSIBLE
ity Of German internal disorders for
a long period. In any case it is evil
dent that the armistice terms are be-
ing practically complied with by the
enemy and that probably within the
period fixed, thirty-six days from No
vember II, all the conditions will have
been met, though the period of the
armistice will have to be extended to
permit the assemblage of commission
ers of peace and the formulation Of
the final treaty.

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART.

Some observers think that the most
characteristic thing about the American
soldiers in France, something which
astounds the enemy and eXctes the ad-
mration of our Allies, is the capacity OF
the American soldiers TO do individual
thinking and fighting. Tie German
fights successfully only in mass forma-
tion, in organized bodies, while every
American soldier has an Initiative and
independence of action which gives him
remark rkable.etiiciency in open fighting.
They are not senseless cogs, but each is
an individual working unit in a great
fighting machine.
Every American at home should feel
an individual responsibility and do his
or her individual part in winning the
war. There is not an American citizen
who cannot help win the war. The
Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which begins
September 2Sth, offers great opportun.
ity for concerted action and for indi-
vidual action, and the loan will be tre-
mendous success if each American will
do his or her individual part as each
American soldier in France does his
part. Oursoldiers deserve such support
from the people at home.

PROUD OF TIE sANAToRIUM.

Floyd w. Brown, member of the
Board of Charities and Corrections, was
in the city on personal business yester-
day, In talking of the state institu-
tions over which his board exercises
jurisdiction, he had much to say con-
cerning the state tuberculosis sanato-
rum near Custer, where many new
buildings and great improvements are
being made during the present year.
He says that when the work that had
been planned there shall have been
finished South Dakota is going to have
one of the most complete and one of the
best fitted institutions of its kind in the
country, and located in one of the
heathiest and one of the most beautiful
spots in the United States. He declares
that it will be an institution of which
every one in the state should take a
pride, and that already it's reputation
has extended beyond the borders of the
state, and will continue to extend
Pioneer-TiGes.

A PROCLAMATION
Governor NOrbeck Designates September
20 as Liberty Loan Subscription
Day in South Dakota.

Executive Chambers, Pierre, South Da-
kota, "a Proclamation.
On September 2S 1918, in accordance
with departmental policy and the pro-
clamation of the President, the people OF
the United States will again be given
opportunity to assist their country in its
supreme task By the purchasing of Lib
erty Bonds.
On that day the Fourth Liberty Loan
will be inaugurated and | urge upon the
people of South Dakota a continuance Of
the remarkable record which we have
already made by our financial response
to the requests from the Government.
Our quotas have been great; our patri-
otism is greater Our boys over there
are doing their part; we also must do
ours, Inspiring reports from the battle
front are being received but these must
not cause those who remain at home to
diminish their efforts in even slightest
measure; rather, they should prove a
powerful incentive and lead us on to in
creased endeavor. Our soldiers are not
shirking their duty; neither do they at
tempt to shift their responsibility nor
among them is there selfshness or weak
ening the result in this state of the
last Liberty Loan proves there will be
none here.
In order that we may have thorough
cooperation among all agencies and a
united effort in sending our state over
the top in this drive, | hereby declare
that Saturday, September 2S, 1918, shall
be known as Liberty Loan Subscription
Day, in and for the State Of South Da-
kota, and that it may be observed as a
holiday throughout the entire state.
In testimony whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused to be affix
ed the Great Seal Of the State Of South
Oak ota, at the Capitol in the City OF
Pierre, this llth day ofSeptember, 1918.
