In Dresden the old party boiled 1l7.566 votes as compared with $40 for the independents.
 VOrwaertz points out that not a single vote by capitalist was boiled, the only votes being those of laborers.
 The Vossische Zeitung declares that the result in Chemnitz shows that the Spartacans have no footing among the people"
 An article in VOrwaertz attacks Adolph Hoffman. one of its former editors and an independent socialist. for voicing a threat to disperse the national assembly when it is called The newspaper believes it will be i'm possible for the bouregOise to secure a majority in the election. If such a wonder happens, it says, then it will be an expression of the will of the people to combat which we would not choose the Russian method of dispersing the assembly. but would employ the social democratic method of enlightenment so that the next election would have a better result.

CRv Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Warning to the country that the influenza epi- demic is by no means ended and that all possible precautions against the disease should be taken, was issued tonight by Surgeon General Blue of the public health service.
 Reports received by the service show a recrudescence of the disease practically from one end of the coun- try to the other and in his statement Dr. Blue advised the closing of the public schools on the first sign of the reappearance of the epidemic He said the disease apparently now tended to occur more frequently among school children
 "Our main reliance" Dr. Blue said, "must still be the observance of pre- cautions by the individual person. He should cover up his coughs and sneezes and insist that others do the same"
 Information reaching the public health service shows that in California increases in the number of cases are reported from San Francisco and many other cities.
 In Iowa there has been a marked increase in the number of cases. The situation continues serious in Ne brasks

The president. it is announced, will visit devastated districts in France and, although the present plans are tentative, all depending upon his per sonal wishes, the trip may take him into former German territory. Visits to Metz and Strasbourg are extremely probable.
 President Wilson will lunch with President Poincare on Saturday soon after his arrival. The plans for Sunday have not yet been made known On Monday President Wilson will hold a reception in the Paris city hall, to which a host of officials have been invited.
 The Associated Press is in a posi- ton to state definitely that President Wilson will visit Italy. but no date has been fixed A hundred invitations or more for the president to visit Va rious places in France and the allied countries are being received daily. Naturally these are being held bend ing the coming of Frances distinguish ed guest.

CHICAGO. H.. Dec IL - Wearing more clothes to safeguard the health of the feminine half of the popula- ton did not receive the endorsement of all the physicians attending the annual meeting of the American Pub lie HeGith association today.
 Dr. Jeanette Throckmorton of Chari- tan la who made the address which started the discussion. declared the customary street dress of women last summer was an offense to public decency. She blamed the good women of the country for allowing their daughters to defy pneumonia and influenza with lavalliere for prOtec- tion"

 Women are cleaner now because they have to wear these thin clothes" Dr. Lobdell said. "and the character of our art and the spread of educs- ton about sex hygiene remove any

Mir Fleming finished his remarks just as court adjourned and it is ex- pected that some testimony will be heard tomorrow after the opening statements of the defense.
 The jury was completed at the start of the afternoon session. It is eX- pected that several weeks will be re quired to hear the testimony, which Mir. Fleming indicated would consist largely of excerpts from speeches. newspaper articles taken from Der gers publication, the Milwaukee Leader, pamphlets, cartoons, illustra- tions and billboard displays.
 Mir Fleming read at length from the indictment, explaining that it charged conspiracy to violate Section 3 of the espionage act which forbids attempts to cause Standardization in the army and navy or to discourage enlistments.
 We will show that one defendant said: To hell with the army Only a skunk would join the army of the United States'" said MT. Fleming.
 We will show that these men de nounced the liberty loans and argued for repudiation of all war debts of the United States.
 "Germer said, These bonds are letters which bind you to the chariot wheels of capitalists and also Lib erty bonds are slave bonds.'
 We will show that certain of the defendants voiced desire to abolish the Red Cross.
 Also. they held up as ideals the government of Lsnine and Trotzky in Russia. They are bolsheviks.'

BRISTOL, Dec. l (By the Associated Press) The war bill of the allies against Ger m any is 24,000,000 1000 pounds, according to the prime minister, David Lloyd George, who presented this and other interesting facts before a large gathering here today. The cost of the war to Great Brit ain was eight billion pounds.
 Before the war the esti- mated wealth of Germany, said the premier, was between 5,00Q000,000 and 20,000,- 100000 pounds sterling, so if the whole wealth of Germany were taken, there would not be enough to pay the account. Therefore, he used the words: Germany should pay to the utmost limit of her capacity"
 When the prime minister was ad- dressing an overflow meeting. he said Great Britain would be guilty of great folly if she gave up her navy.
 A voice interrupted: Then watch Wilsoni"
 The premier replied:
 Well, hope to meet him in a fort night. I will tell him what you say"
 Wherever the request comes from, We are not going to give up the pro tection of the navy, so far as Great Britain is concerned"
