AIMS in case the proletariat gets the
power in Germany.
There is no doubt that the radicals
are prompted in their fears largely
by resentment that a military force
prevents them from joining forces
with the bolsheviks in Russia, but
there is also ground for their belief
that militarists are secretely organic
ing and are growing stronger. Wheth-
or they would use their organization
against democratic government is
uncertain.
Officers have again begun to flaunt
their gay uniforms on Berlin boule-
wards in full dress and covered with
decorations Until recently the Off
GERS did not wear their decorations,
only armbands.
The so-called League against boil
shevism' is plentifully supplied with
money by capitalists and the former
nobility 1t is getting to be a for1ni-
dable organization, and will soon be
allie to cope with proletariat upris-
ing If it chooses to do so, according
to reports regarding the secret gather
ing of supplies.
The steady growth, of this group,
strongly adhered to and supported by
the former militarists, or army men,
and Of the soviets on the other hand
forebodes a struggle which will be
nothing short of a civil war, if open
hostilities ever do break out, when
both sides claim they must support
the government by force.

119S of the Elks hope to have flne
tlks' home in Hannibal within the

The united slogan Of the Hannibal

mate that the Elks will see the COM
pletion of their new home by next

cedure is usually followed by organi-
zatIons taking such steps.
