BOYS GIVE BANQUET

Next Tuesday evening at six O'Clock
the Fathers and Sons of Redwood
Falls will meet at the banquet table
in the basement of the armory. This
being a meatless day the boys have
decided to feast their dads on good
old-fashioned rabbit pie-just like
mother used to make after Dad had
gone rabbit hunting some thirty-odd
years ago. Just who the speakers
will be has not been entirely decided
as the effort is being made to secure
some outside speaker for the main
address. A. D. Stewart has prom
ised to give short talk and some of
the boys will respond to short toasts.

WEATHER CAUSES SHORTAGE.

Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 24.-Shortage Of
labor and zero weather combine to
prevent unusual output of anthracite
coal at this time of great need, said
w. J. Richards, president of the Phil
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company in statement today.
Mr.. Richards added that despite
these handicaps the production of coal
this winter has been unprecedented
and that while there has been short
age of cars and the roads have been
handicapped by lack of motive power,
the big cities would have been flooded
with anthracite but for the pranks of
winter. Shortage of labor, Mr.. Rich
ards said, has been the most serious
handicap.

London, Jan. 24.-The impressions
conveyed in today's dispatches from
Switzerland and Holland regarding
the internal situation in Germany on
the eve of Chancellor Won Hertling's
expected address before the reich
stag is one of discomfort among the
masses suppressed by the triumphant
hand Of the military party.
Efforts Of the German censorship to
prevent public knowledge of the Aus
trian strikes and peace demands sue
ceeded for a time, but the news leaked
through gradually and Austrian
events seem now to be widely known
by German workers.
IRON HAND is ACTIVE.
The Austrian hope that the Ger
mans would follow their lead has not
aterialized, however, while German
newspapers which ventured to hold
out hand to the Austrian proletariat
have been sternly repressed.
Nevertheless, according to the
Posts Amsterdam dispatch, the re-
bellious sentiments of German work
men, especially independent social
lists, are becoming stronger. This is
PARTLY attributable to the attitude of
the German delegates at the Brest-
Litovsk conference, which caused
widespread discomfort as was mani.
tested by the tumultuous scenes at
numerous meetings of the fatherland
party.
JUNKER AIMS NOT POPULAR.
The Dutch Catholic journal, Tyd,
prints an article received through an
indirect channel from its correspond
ent in Germany in which he says that
events at Brest-Ltovsk and Presi-
dent Wilson's new peace formula,
which in wide circles is considered a
suitable basis for the regulation of
society of the future, have prepared
the ground for the bolshevik tendency.
There is anxiety lest the German
attitude in the negotiations may lead
to division among the people. The
turn away from the yelled an
nexationist lust of power formulated
by General Hoffman.
Continuing, the writer speaks of
the rebellious temper of the factory
population in the industrial centers
and adds:
PEOPLE ARE RESTLESS.
mo wonder fear is expressed that
the people will take the settlement of
its lot into its own hands if any great
setback is suffered. The
failure of the separate peace with
Russia SO would give the signal for an
reaction at a moment
when the nervous strain is we'll nigh
An incident in the lower house on
Monday, the Tyd correspondent says,
is indicative of the popular sentiment.
The king of Saxony sent a telegram
to the fatherland party recently, advo-
eating "a safety peace" This was
censured sharply by the socialists Of
the chamber. The socialist vice-presi-
dent, Fraesdorf. said that the king
was badly informed and declared that
the people took quite a different
standpoint from the fatherland party.
