want to see their lives jeopardized By
unnecessary and unseemly fractional
fights at the national capital.

to equalize the toll and long distance
charges over the country, removing
disparities and preferences and pro-
viding scientific basis for future re-
auctions contemplated as unifcation

"A night service rate" said the
statement, which is one-half the day
rate, Is established between $3.50
o'clock and midnight.
Between midnight and 4:30 a. M.
the night rate Is one-fourth the day
rate. These are greater reductions in
night rates than have ever been made
in any country, and doubtless will be
extensively used, especially for social
and family purposes. A person might
talk from San Francisco to New York
for about 81, whereas the day rate
is approximately $16."

PRAISE FOR YANKEES
German Officer Says Their Reck-
Iessness Spoiled Foe Morale.
Asserts That Allies Won War Through
Intervention of Americans Who
Overwhelmed Enemy.

Coblenz, Dec. 1.-THE Americans
lacked experience in the technical.
ties of modern warfare, but they
knew how to go ahead-they knew
too WELL"
That is the opinion of Colonel Won
Steibel, chief of staff of the 9th Divi,
sion, which was beaten by the Ameri-
cans in the Argonne.
Won Steibel, who is attached to the
German bridgehead commission, dis
cussed freely the phases of the Ar
gonne break through.
Americans Too Reckless"
"The Americans were too reckless;
in too much of hurry to get things
DONE" he said For instance in at
lacking our machine guns-which are
the best in the world-they utilized
no scientific means. 1t seemed to us
the only way they knew to eliminate
machine gun nest was to keep COM
ing until they got it. That was rather
discouraging to the morale. Of our gun
ners. They knew if they stayed long
they would be killed or captured.
Says American Intervention Won.
I'VE have no doubt American in
PREVENTION won the war. We could
have beaten the other Allies, but the
constant stream of Americans, young
and enthusiastic, overwhelmed us.
"The Americans are good oppon-
ents and fair fighters"
Won Steibel declared the German
army could have held out for months
fered, but, sooner or later, lack of ma
terial would have brought its down
fall.

Revoiution-Children Demand
Voice in Government.

Berlin, Dec. 18-The national meet
ing of workmen's and soldiers coun
ellis refused to seat Karl Lielknecht
and Rosa Luxembourg, Bolshevik lead
ers.
Radical members introduced a reso
luton demanding for Liebknecht and
his aid the right to sit in the confer
ence, but they were outvoted by a
huge majority.
At least $4,000 persons gathered out
side the Prussian parliament building
during the alteration. When it be
came known that the bolshevik lead
ers had been turned down, Liebknecht
suddenly appeared on the roof of the
parliament building and began to ad
dress the crowds. He was wildly
cheered.
Liebknecht Calls for Uprising.
Although surrounded by government
soldiers, Liebknecht spoke fearlessly
He led cries of Down with Scheide
mann!" "Bewn with Ebert!' Down
with Hasse!" despite the fact those
officials were sitting in the house
within sound of his voice.
Liebknecht concluded his speech
from the roof with an appeal for the
proletariat, en- masse, to proclaim a
social and political revolution.
The scene in the parliament cham.
Der was striking one when the meet.
ing was called to order The room
was filled with soldiers in field gray
uniforms. Mingling with them were
workers in shabby clothes. There
were also few sailors And this
room formerly was tenanted only by
legislators in the most formal and
correct dress. There was one woman
delegate and there were several wo.
men in the audience. They were the
first ever to enter the chamber.

Half dozen officers sat on the
rostrum, which was draped with the
red banners of socialism.

Allowance Plan Criticised.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE practice
of the War Risk Insurance bureau in
calling upon soldiers dependents for
refunds where investigation showed
improper allowances had been made
was criticized by Representative
Treadway of Massachusetts, Republic
an, at committee hearing on an
amendment proposed by him to cor
rect it.. Soon after the war started,
the bureau, Mr.. Treadway said, made
many allowances which later we're
found not justified. In suck cases de.
pendents were asked to return money
