the establishment Of a republic. and

passed a resolution in favor of ma

fourth army followed suit.
Fortified by this, Ebert yesterda
overcame his INDIGESTION and supported
the summoning of the National Assem-

The effect of this on Germany's atti-
tudc at the peace conference is inesti-

tlonably meant that the Allies would
nave to meet divergent groups of Boil
shevlki, repres esenting Berlin. KieI and
Hamburg making negotiations impos-
slble. Under Ebert and an assembly
Germany will have some appearance Of
unity.
The situation now largely depends
on the coming decision regarding the
future of the Kaiser, as we'll as of
the other old regimites. French and
British opinion is rapidly hardening in
favor of his extradition, and thus the
prevention of his working further
mischief.
When the Kaiser is out of the wav
the German situation will be quickly
clarified. If the present agitation for
a provisional presidency is successful
there is still hope that Germany viii
be sufficiently united to negotiate

the peace conference.

Army of Occupation to Eat
Thanksgiving Dinner This
Side of the Rhine

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION, Nov 25 (By courier to
Nancy, Nov. 27) (By The Associated
Press) The indications are that the
American army Of occupation will
spend Thanksgiving in their present
positions on this side of the German
frontier.
The Americans already have started
search for the luxuries of Luxem-
burg for Thursdays dinner. In the
absence of turkeys, they are casting
their eyes at Luxemburg's chickens,
geese, ducks and pigeons. Tie Ger
man officers also were fond of chick
ems and geese, and consequently the
farmers and villagers have but a few
on hand.
1t appears as if the front line men
will have frozen beef as the princ ,al
Wand for Thursday, providing nothing
happens to the frozen beef special
crossing the newly laid tracks in No
Mans Land.
Nevertheless, the mess sergeants
have assured the officers anl men that
nearly everything is on hand for the
regulation Thanksgiving dinner, ex
cepting the turkey and the cranbe rries.
