AMERICANS ARE
TO Reach Rhine
RIVER SUNDAY
Troops Approach Last Phase
of Invasion; Germans Be-
ginning to Show In
creased Interest.

With the American Army of Oc-
cupaton, Dec, THE extreme lett
OF the American army of occupation
will reach the Rhine, December s,
Four days later il is expected the en-
tire line will enter the final phase OF
the advance.
Reports received from Coblenz in-a
dictate that the reception there will
be essentially the same as at Treves
and the scores of smaller towns al
ready occupied,
The inhabitants of the zone takeul
over today received the American
troops with the same courteous IN
difference that has characterized the
manner OF the Germans everywhere,
but in Trcves and other communities
occupied the first day change i'll
the attitude of the Germans is be-
coming apparent.
Children gather around the enli,t.
ed men and follow the marching
troops and eagerly practice the use
of the English language whene er.
the men will listen to or talk to
them. Even men and women are
weakening from what was an obvi-
Gus determination to ignore the
Americans. Tie mayor of one town
explained that the people had eX-
pected the same militaristic attitude
as they would receive from their
own soldiers and perhaps retaliatory
methods, but when an unassertive
manner was adopted by the Ameri-
cans it was difficult for the people
to keep up their air OF passive hos-
tility. r..
The Germans have not yet seen
General Pershing, the American
commander in chief, but they prob
ably will soon have this opporturi-
ty since he expects to enter the oc-
cupied territory and come to Treves.
General Pershing, however, will not
epter the city with any pomp or dis
play.

ceipt OF letter from Col. Arthur

Bolshevism Termed
End of Civilization
by Dutch Minister

Amsterdam. Dec. 1.-THE Dutch
minister at Petrograd, who has ar
rived in Holland BY way of Ger
many, spoke freely on his arrival of
the conditions brought about by boil
shevism in Russia and appealed to
\ the workmen of all nations against
bolshevik tendencies.
The minister characterized bolshe-
vism as "the end of civilization"
Translated into practice, he declared,
the bolshevk principles are high
wages for no work, the taking of
others property without punishment
and no taxation"
The state of unemployment in
Petrograd is terrible" the minister
said. THE situation is one of utter
exhaustion. The people do not1know
how they will exist from day to day.

and tyranny and the absence of all
semblance of freedom.
THE future to me seems hopeless,
One thing is certain, and that is il
it is left as it is now, Russia will
be completely and utterly ruined"

The Bees
Free Shoe Fund
To Buy Shoes
For Shoeless Children

1t is desired to swell the total
of The Bee shoe fund to $1,000
before Christmas, so that, as far
as possible, needy children may
have their new shoes by Christ
mas, although shoes will be given
through the school year.
Every contributor to the fund
now is playing the role of an
honest-to-goodness Santa Claus.
The expressions of thanks con-
veyed to The Bee by parents who
have been forced to avail them
selves of this worthy charity be-
cause of Spanish influenza show
that the fund has never been more
opportune than it is this year.
And if the total exceeds the
$1,000 mark the additional contri-
buttons will merely serve to en-
large the field of its benefit.
Gifts from outside of Omaha
continue in the lead.

William Bayard Hale and DR.. Aked,
a minister of San Francisco.
Hitchcock Pledges Support.
Another communication relating
to a meeting of the embargo asso-
citation and said to have been writ
ten by G.. NJ. Jacobs of Chicago,
acting chairman, said that former
Senator Works, of California and
Senator Smith of Georgia, as well as
Senator Hitchcock, supported the
principles of the conference.
Mr.. Bielaski read document
signed by Senator Hitchcock stat
ing that the senator would do all in
his power both as senator and as
editor of-the Omaha World Herald
to bring about an embargo on arms
Reiswitz's letter regarding the EN-
barge association made this refer
ence to Senator Hitchcock:
Hitchcock seemed to be very
strong for the plan. He told our
representative at conference in
Omaha; If this matter is organized
in the right way you will sweep the
United States"
Consul Reiswitz, in a letter be-
lieved by the Department of Justice
to have been written to Dr. Helm
nerich F. Albert, a former German
agent, outlined a plan for the &C
QUESTION of the Wright airplane
factory at Dayton. O., as a means
of preventing the export of flying
machines from the United States.
Option on A. P. A.
Mr.. Bielaski also testified that to
make provisions for the dissemina-
ton of pro-German newspapers to
smaller newspapers the German
agent contemplated the purchase of
the American Press association,
which furnished matter in type to
papers, but he said there was no evil
dence that the deal was carried
through. In this connection the
witness read an option, drawn up
presuma bly, by the agents Of Albert,
whereby the association was to
place its whole organization at the
disposal of Albert, in order to
spread pro-German newspapers and
suppress anti-German newspapers.
The option was to be valid be-
tween July IS and October Is, 1915,
and during that time Albert was to
decide whether he would purchase
control of the property for 100000.
Late today the State department
made public the full text of the
Bernstorff documents read into the
committee records by Mr.. Bielaski.
They are taken from the mass of ev-
idence in the departments files, dis
closing German intrigue before and
after The United States entered the
war"

Independents Gain Control.
Berlin, Dec. I'm the elections
held yesterday to fill two vacancies
i'll the soldiers and workers eX-
executive council, the left wing Of
the social democrats, or the indie
pendent socialists, gained both seats.
The council, which has % members,
is ostensibly the highest revolution
airy tribunal.
By winning the two vacant seats,
the independents secured working
ma jority in the council, The soldier
element attributes its defeat to the
inability of Herr Melkenbuhr, ma
jority socialist and one of the two
chairmen of the executive council, to
cope with the other chairman, Rich
ard Mueller. representative of the
working men. Mueller apparently
has succeeded i'll converting the
committee to radicalism. although
its members are divided equally be-
tween the soldiers and the work
men.
The soldiers stationed at Berlin,
it is understood, oppose partisan
politics, but have not yet been able
to counteract the tactics of Mueller,
The issue promises to reach crisis
late today, the soldiers having an
nounced their intention of replacing
Melkenbuhr and five other OF their
representatives with men deter
mined to neutralze the radical ele
ments which dominate the executive
council.
Offer Presidency to Ebert.
Copenhagen, Dec. 1.-The Ger

Comrade Ebert" have been hailed
by an organized demonstration of

&c. Their leaders spoke as fol-

ace. Their leaders spoke as fol-
lows:
Germany stands on the brink OF
catastrophe. We demand that a
national assembly be summoned on
December 20 The executive coun-
Gil must no longer be able to put
pressure on the government. Long
live the German republic and her
first president. Comrade Ebert"
Chancellor Ebert replied that the
administration must remain i'll the
hands of the government. He coun-
selled patience until the council OF
the workmenS and soldiers councils
had decided regarding the ,convoca-
ton Of national assembly.
A sailor from Kiel spoke up:
Il will put a straight question
whether Comrade Ebert will agree
to our selection of him as president
of the German republic"
The chancellor replied:
Not without comforting with the
government
The soldiers and sailors then
marched away.
Revolutionary Leaders Arrested.
Berlin, Dec. IA former nom
commissioned officer named Ger
hard, who is one of the members or
the executive council of Berlin and
reader OF the soldier revolutionaries,
was arrested Friday. He was under
a mild form of detention, charged
among other things with advocating
physical opposition to DR.. Karl
Liebknecht, leader of the Spartacus
group of socialists. The fact that he
was arrested at plenary session of
the soldiers council, at which it
was planned to organize revolt
against Herman Molkenbuhr and
other members of the soldiers
council, is interpreted here as a
successful endeavor to remove him
from the scene.
Demand National Assembly.
Amsterdam, Dec. AT Munich,
says a Berlin dispatch, returning
troops, led by officers and bearing
the old and new imperial and state
flags. demanded a speedy summon
ing OF the national assembly. +"
The Bavarian premier, Kurt Els
ner, was compelled to come out and
respond to the demonstrators. He
promised the early calling of the
assembly. Herr Eisner was SUR
rounded by bodyguard and had
armcred cars brought up. The SOL
diers protested so vigorously against
the presence of the cars that they
were withdrawn.
