Teutons are More and More
Forgetting Their
Position
SNOBBISH ATTITUDE
Wild Talk by Ebert of Breaking Of
Relations with Conquering
Allies" tf

PARIS, Feb. 13-The allied Premi-
ers at the last meeting of the SUI
preme Interallied War Council dis
cussed the terms of the extension of
the arnistice with Germany. 1t was
forecast before the meeting that the
council would probably fix new terms
to be imposed upon Germany, whose
tactics of obstruction and recrimi-
nation are said to have reached
climax in a threat. made at Weimar
by President Ebert that Germany
would break off negotiations with the
Allies.
The feeling in Peace Conference is
that the Germans are more and more
forgetting their position, and it is
expected that the Supreme War
Council will take measures to bring
the Germans to a sense of the reali-
ties. j,
Marshal Foch will go to Treves on
Feb. II to fix the conditions for a
third renewal of the armistice.
1t is understood that the War
Council will fix brief time within
which the Germans must carry out
the conditions they have only fulfill
ed in part. In this respect it is not
ed that none of the German ships
which were to have been sent to GER
tain allied ports has yet been handed
over.
b French opinion holds that the oc-
cupation of Essen is of first necessity
if the Allies are to control Gernany's
principal war factories. Public opin-
ion in France is also asking if the
Supreme War Council is going to al
low Field Marshal Won sHindenburg
to establish himself in Bromberg and
prepare campaign against Poland,
which can only be supplied through
Danzig.
The Supreme War Council is also
to fix the size of the contingents of
France, Great. Britain, the United
States, and other nations in the arm
les of occupation, both in Europe and
Asia.

COBLENZ, Feb. Bone of Ger
many's war hardships which have
held over is the lack of good beer.
The beer which one gets here today
is considered terrible stuff by those
who are able to judge. They say
that it smells bad and tastes worse
There is much discomfort among the
Germans becausesof their beer.
The question of improving the
brew was the subject of discussion
yesterday at a meeting of the Rhine
land Brewers, who after much debate
decided to look to America for grain
to make beer. 1t was stated that if
America would furnish grain for this
purpose she would be doing a great
service and that President Wilson
could thus greatly enhance his repu-
tation in Deutschland.

soon be laid before the American mil
itary authorities here with plea for

Albert Thomas, Munitions
Minister, Returns from
Fatherland
STRAIN IS TOO STRONG.
Allies Cannot Go Too Far Imposing
Severe Penalties on
Germany

PARIS, Feb. 13-"Despair is the
word / would use to describe my i'm
preston of the feeling in Germany" !"
was Albert Thomas's first comment
on his return recently to Paris from
the International Socialist Congress
at Berne. The former Minister Of
War Industries, who is credited with
speeding up the manufacture of
French munitions to win the war and
is now the recognized Chief of the
Socialist Party in the Chamber of
Deputies, was obliged to return be-
fore the Congress was finished, to
participate in the Interallied Confer
ence of Cooperative Societies, in
which he is also recognized as the
leader.
"Their despair struck me at once. "
Mr.. Thomas said, speaking of the
German delegates he had met. "In
fact, I might say that Germany is in
a very peculiar psychological state
on edge, SO to speak with it's nerves
worn to a frazzle.' I might also say
that we cannot go too far, or that
despair may break into-one cannot
prophesy what

mans must pay for their crimes.
went to Berne to tell them Sc" -
Some one interrupted to say jok-
ingly that, from the way M. Thomas
scolded them, his speech must have
effectively served to deepen the Ger
man delegates despair and nearly
drive them to suicide.
'"That was not my intention,
quickly responded NJ Thomas, his
eyes swapping and his full reddish
beard bristling, sEbut they must be
made to realize their responsibility
for the war, and never for one NOM
ent forget it. However, they have
gone at least one step. They no
longer blame the Russians for start
ing the war, but admit their own gov
ernment was the guilty party"
"But suppose they should again try
to raise a hostile army, or suppose
their National Assembly now meeting
at Weimar should, for instance, pro-
test against the return OF Alsace-
Lorraine to France?'
"I should consider those attempts
proofs that the Germans had not fully
admitted their responsibility for
starting the war;" M. Thomas replied.

Rev. Pannkoko spoke in connection
with the organization meeting of the
state of Michigan which was held in
Detroit. The meeting was attended
by the Lutheran clergy and iniuen-
tial laynen of the entire state. They
decided to hold the campaign Febru-

Flimsy Pretext to Raise
Army of 100000
Volunteers
LUTZON'S WILD JAGERS
Men are Being Given Five Marks
Daily With Good Food
and Uniforms

BERNE, Feb. 13-Before leaving
the Socialist congress in Berne to
take part in the Weinfar National As
sembly, Hugo Haase, the German In
dependent Socialist leader, made
some remarkable revelations concern
ing the great army which Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg is concentrating
in Eastern Germany.
"Under the pretense of defending
the Prussian border against the Boil
sheviki and the Poles," said Haase,
"a volunteer army of 100000 is be-
ing organized by Hindenburg in Po-
merania and Eastern Prussia. In re-
atty there is no menace of invasion
by the Bolsheviki or the Poles which
warrants the concentration of SO
large a force. Hindenburg's head
quarters are at Tolberg, on the Bal
tic coast, one of the chief strongholds
of Junkerism, militarism, and Pan
Prussianism."
All over Germany, according to
--Haase, calls for volunteers to swell
this eastern army are posted in pub
lie places and published in the news
papers. These posters and advertise
ments attempt to revive the patriotic
and military instincts of the Germans
by reminding them Of the great deeds
of their ancestors, such as their re-
lease from Napoleonic rule over 100
years ago.
Thus men are invited to join Lut-
zow's sssWild Jagers" or Koner's
"Etrancs-tireurs Corps" whose leg
eIdary exploits are celebrated in Ger
man story and song, SO that every
schoolboy knows that nearly all the
corps of Hindenburg's new army bear
names recalling the heroes. of 1913.
Apart from this appeal to their
sentimentality, the volunteers receiv-
ed a promise of marks a day, good
food, and new uniforms Since SINH
larly favorable conditions of existence
are scarcely obtainable in civil life
today, it is natural that thousands OF
men should enlist. A
After few skirmishes with the
Poles or the Bolsheviki, it is suspect
ed, this new army will be a willing
instrument in the hands of the Ger
man reactionaries, and at the wore
of command it may march on Berli1
or even against the allied army OF
occupation. Ebert and Scheidemanr
are far too dependent on the Prussiar
military party to protest against tht
creation of this army, although i
may ultimately be directed agains
them.
"In any case," said Haase, 1'the as
sociated great powers should watcI
the movements of Hindenburg's army
closely, and, if necessary, should in
sist upon its strength being limited
strictly to the needs of frontier de.
fence. There has been no real revolu-
ton in Berlin, although there is dis
organization, corruption, and anarchy
but the. spirit of militarism is still
dominant.
"Prussian officers and Junkers are
as arrogant as ever in Berlin. The
crowds make way and salute obsequi-
ously when members of the Hohen-
zolIern family pass-members of thai
family whom Scheidemann does not
dare expel because he fears the revel
ations they may make about his Sc
cret relations with the Kaiser's Gov
eminent during the war"

HOT
IN ACADEMY CAME:
Local Boys Continue to Draw Large
Crowds by Fast
Playing

Two red hot contests were staged
by the Academy inter class league
yesterday afternoon, one of them go
ing into an overtime period and the
other being won by a margin of only
two points.
In the first game between the
seniors and .sophomores, which was
won by the latter, the seniors got
away with good lead but the second
year men laid back until the final
period when they :. spurted into the.
lead and left the score Is to IA in
their favor. Captain Clement and
Dawk Smith played good game for
the seniors and the star performers
Of their opponents were Faye and
Marshall.
The junior freshman game, al.
though it started out to be a parade
with the juniors in the lead, develop
ed into the more interesting mill of
the two because the freshmen by
some spectacular on the part of Faye
tied the score in the last few minutes
Of play, necessitating an overtime
period of five minutes. In this period
the Juniors played like a house afre
and kept the ball most of the time
by fast foot work and clever passing.
In addition to this Collins went crazy
all of a sudden and shot three difficult
baskets in rapid succession putting
the game on ice for the juniors.
If the remaining games in thesin-
ter class league are as close and i'm
tcresting as the first two of the series
have been the association will have
to make plans to handle larger
crowds.
All the teams in the league are now
tied, each having won and lost one
game. Scores,
