CARDINALHITS
LIQUOR BILL
Denounces National Prohi-
bition Amendment as In
reference with Liberty.

Baltimore. Feb. SIN strong and
decisive language Cardinal Gibbons
tonight denounced the national
prohibition amendment and declared
that legislators of the States should
not bow to the "fanaticism that
seems to be ruling US in this respect" "
He declared that some Of the law
makers seemed TO be acting through
rowardice in going against their
strong convictions and giving their
vote for the amendment when it is
brought up. He declared that the
vote i'm the Maryland senate last
week was q complete surprise TO him
and indicated that those who wOulN
abridge our liberty" are at work in
earnest and must be combatted.
The Cardinal declared with en-
phasis that if the national prohibi-
ton bill b ratified by the States the
commOnwealths will lose control of
the regulatory powers they now pos
sess and which give them the upper
hand control of the liGuor situation,
and they will lose the revenues that
righuully belong to them.
II feel" said the Cardinal, that
il the amendment is ratified there
will spring up in all parts of this
country whisky stills which will
manufacture a low grade of whis-
ky that will do more harm than the
good grade is doing.
1T will be a calamity il this
amendment is adopted. 1t will be
only a step for the abridgment of
other liberties that We enjoy. Those
favoring the amendment will not
be satisfied with this victory and
they will try to impose other OBJ
noxious laws upon US that will
make our personal liberty worth
very little"

why should working men fight?''
At first the Anglo-Saxon troops
were disposed to meet the supposed
desire at determination half way.
But they soon found that the
placards were raised at the order of
German officers; that their purpose
was to throw the British OF their
guard and to make them easy VIC
Tins in an attack.
We in America think we know
something about German intrigue
and propaganda-but you should
visit Switzerland! That tiny re-
public is the whirlpool rapids of
European politics.
Undoubtedly Switzerland wants
to remain neutral. The entente al
lies are willing that it should re-
main neutral
But Germany does not want Swift
zerland to remain neutral. She
wants Switzerland on her side-at
least passively on her side, and from
one end to the other of the little
republic the snakes OF German in

Seventy per .cent of the Swiss

A majorijy Of the newspapers

soTdiers Are Brave.
Not that the German soldiers are
lacking IN bravery. The world has
never seen anything like the calm
with which German troops in mass
formation, shoulder to shoulder,
marched to the mouths Of guns and
humiliation.
But individually, the German is
not a good fighter. He lacks the
initiative of the French and British.
He does not distinguish himself when,
as sometimes happens in battle, there
is no one athand to tell him what to
do.
A commissioned officer never goes
at the head of German troops in a
trench attack, as is the British
custom. The German officer is al
ways behind, automatic in hand, and
the private knows that death awaits
him either way. So he goes forward.
Tricks Of treachery have found their
way into the German army. When
was in France the Canadian troops
were in a frenzy. They had made an
attack on the German line a few Gays
before. The Germans in the first
trench came running forward. drop
ping their guns, and yelled ''Kamerad
republic"
The Canadians took this to mean
surrender and let the Germans pass
as prisoners back to the British
trenches. As soon as they were be-
hind the fighting the prisoners
took from welI-filIed pockets hand
grenades and began rear attack
oI the advancing Canadians.
The Canadians were so bewilder-
ed that they not only failed to take
the German trenches, but came near
losing their own
saxons, So why FiEhtf
Another trick of the Germans was
the posting of pIacards above their
trenches bearing such messages as:
We are Saxon. So are you. Why
fight?"
We are Socialists. Why fight?'

MEN MARCH
TO CAMP FEB. q

The order of the Provost Marshal
General. which will start 72.OO0 drafted
men to camps on February 20 leaves
the first call incomplete by about
$4,000.
The States which will not have COM
pleted their final quotas with the ex-
piration of the five days period under
the new order are in the South prin-
cipally.
The $1,000 men still subject to call
will be ordered to camp as soon as
sufficient equipment and supplies can
be assembled.
1t was indicated when the order
was issued yesterday that the 1900
men ordered to camps would complete
the first draft. Investigation showed
this to be in error.
The total number of registrants to
be inducted into military service un-
der the first draft is ss7.0oo.

STRIKER HURLS
BOMB AGAINST
KAISER'S HOME
industrial Trouble Is Ended
Though Unrest Prevails
In Empire.

Amsterdam, Feb. 5.-Dispatches via
Holland and Switzerland today tend
ed to confirm an official announce
ment made in Berlin yesterday that
the great strike is practically ended.
They transmitted. however. the pre-
viously suppressed news that when
the strike was at its height a bomb
was hurled against the Kaiser's pal
ace in Berlin.
Details were lacking. but the great
majority OF German workers appear
to have returned to work. The mill
tary ultimatum threatened execution,
not for strikers, but for demonstrators
and members Of crowds, but since
assembling OF crowds and demonstra-
tions constitute the life OF success
full strikes. the threat hit home
and on the surface all is once more
serene in the empire.
Two serious consequences OF the
strike were indicated in today's dis
patches, however:
1-Slackening in the industrial prep
arations for the announced offensive
in the West.
"A shake-up in the alignment Of
the political parties and the subse-
quent brewing Of a new political bat
tie.

POLES SEIZE
ARMY LEADER
OF BOLSHEVIKI
Also Capture Headquarters
of Revolutionists; League
With Cossacks Hinted.

The Russian great army headquar-
tiers and Ensign Krylenko, BoIshevik
commander-in-chief. have been cap
tured by the Polish corps OF the Rus
sian army.
According to the report Of the cap
ture, which reached Washington last
night, either two or three divisions
OF Poles, with eoo,o men. 5000 on
GERS and IO7 general officers moved
from their station in the department
OF AIinsk and descended on the near
by headquarters, meeting with scanT
resistance.
The report was greeted in Official
and diplomatic circles as indicating
the first coherent movement for the
rehabilitation of the Russian arms
on the side of the entente. The
Brest Litovsk negotiations were bro
ken on. 1t is reported. largely be-
cause of the German insistence on
an Austrian princeling to reign over
the proposed new Polish kingdom.
The size Of the Polish legions makes
them the most formidable unit that
has yet ventured to oppose the Boil
sheviki. According to advices receiv-
ed in Polish quarters here, the Poles
in the Russian army were mustered
into their own divisions Immediately
after the first revolution in Russia
New life was Immediately given TO
the ever-Smoufdering spirit of Polish
natiOnalism. always devoted to the
entente cause. The corps was main
tanned in all its integrity throughout
the subsequent revolution Strict mil
itary discipline has been maintained.
Some days ago the Bolshevik gov
eminent in Petrograd sent to the
Polish troops and invited them to join
the Bolsheviki movement. to over
throw their officers and to send dele
gates to the Workmen's and Soldiers
councils. The offer was scornfulIy
refused by the Poles.
The Poles have maintained strong
ties of sympathy with the Cossacks
throughout the riotous times in Rus
sia. Numerically. they are a far more
serious element to be reckoned with
than the wild horsemen who followed
Gen. Kaledines in revolt against the
Bolsheviki. While nothing has been
heard from the Kaledines' forces in
many weeks. il was suggested here
hast night that if the Polish forces
maintain a solid position they will re-
eeive many recruits from the Cossack
ranks

SENATOR
US. NEEDS WAR
MAKING PLAN
Wadsworth. of New York,
Criticises Administration
for Lack Of System.

The trouble with the American war
machine. said Senator wadsworth. of
New York, yesterday. is that no gov
ernment agency projects its vision far
into the future. 1t was a continuation
OF the war cabinet debate revived by
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska.
Like his colleagues on the Senate
Military Committee, Senator Cham
berlain. OF Oregon. and Senator Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, the New Yorker
pleaded for the war cabinet bill. He
said IL no great co-ordinating agency
was formed, an even greater break
down than had ensued would threaten.
"lt does not matter to me whether
you call the central body a war cabi-
net or not" he said. 1T does not
matter to me even IL the result is not
accomplished by legislation. / do not
care how many men are on IT or how
they may be defined.
Wants Coordination.
'But.I do want some agency to CO.
ordinate our great efforts. want
men to sit around a council table
every day and night and devote their
every ability to planning out in ad-
vance the scheme of winning the war.
III we are to win this war, and We
have got to win it. we can't afford to
have a breakdown anywhere"
No administration Senator made an
swer to Senator Wadsworth- It Is said
the administration feels that the ap-
pearance OF Secretary of War Baker
today before the Military Affairs
Committee will be sufficient answer
to any attacks made upon the MILL
tary plans. Friends OF the war cabi-
net bill say they have plenty to ask
Mr.. Baker
Secretary Bakers appearance,
however. will not be the last word
in the controversy. by any means.
Senator Kirby expects to speak to-
day. while Mr.. Baker is testifying.
Senator Thomas gave notice he would
speak on Friday. And Senator
Weeks, Of Massachusetts,, one of the
most enthusiastic supporters of the
bill will speak Saturday.
Questions which will be put to the
Secretary tomorrow may form the
basis for some OF the examination
of Gen. Isaac II. Luttell.
Again the galleries were thronged
yesterday. A sharp debate, per-
hsps a rough and tumble argument,
had been expected.
Il would be content" said Rep
resentative Wadsworth. that this
same state OF affairs that exists
should continue for a short time, if
l were convinced that the war
would end in a short time. We
might proceed little while longer
and il the end were surely in sight

Predicts Hardship.

But I entertain the conviction
that the end is not in sight. We
will have to travel long, hard
road before we reach the goal
feel certain that the strain will
grow more and more severe as the
months go by.
"As l look back, we have learned
hope a great lesson-at the eN-
pense OF many lives and millions OF
dollars. We have learned that ouT
failure to see beyond the end of our
noses has prolonged this CHASTITY
war and postponed that day when
mankind shall be released from its
terrors and the future of the re-
public made absolutely sure"
No person in the administration
was blamed by Senator Wadsworth
for the lack of cohesion he said ex-
listed in the government. He de-
clared:
Il do not attempt to lay the blame
upon any one man or upon any one
department. l insist that this pain
full situation has resulted from an
utter lack of planning-frem a lack
of vision.
The Senator did not detail the
various things that have been re-
vealed during the War Department
probe by the Military Committee
He said they were too well-known
now by the country for it to be ne
cessary to repeat them. 1t would
take longer than the present ses-
sion OF Congress to investigate all
that might need investigation, he
said.
The legislation springs largely
from the testimony of such men as
Daniel willard. Rernard NJ. Baruch
Waddill Catchings and Others" said
Senator Wadsworth. Surely nc
Senator can describe those men a:

about this problem than any Sena'

Of the work and Its results, 1t was
found that the price Of ,tillable land

one to three times the total cost Of the
improvements. The total saving every
year In hauling costs due TO this Inn
provement In the roads amounts to

ments, averages 11.6 cents per ton mile.
After the roads were better, the aver
