Car Service Resumed
in Denver After Delay
Caused by Riodng

Denver, Jan. 3.-After street car
service had been completely sus-
pended for six and half hours
here last night because of damages
ny crowds of men and boys who OBJ
lccted to the collection of a seven
cent fare, service was resumed early
today on regular schedules. Whether
it would continue depended, CON-
pany officials said, on whether ade-
quate police protection was fur
nished If the demonstrations were
resumed.
Dewey c. Baker, city manager Of
public safety, said the police had
been instructed to prevent distruc-
ton of property or injury to tra:.-.
men, but could not and would not
undertake to assist the company to
collect the increased fare.
At l o'clock this morning regular
owl car service was begun and
the cars passed through the down
town district without disturbance,
the crowds which interfered with
the operation of the cars last night
having dispersed.
The seven cent fare which was ap-
proved by the state utilities commits
sion although opposed by city Of
fcials was put into effect December
26, the company contending the in
crease was necessary to meet a
wage award recently granted by the
federal war labor board. For sew
eral weeks six cent fare has been
in effect with the approval Of both
the state utilities commission and
the city council but the company
complained that this was inadequate
to meet the increased operating ex-

Petrograd People Are
Threatened by Famine
Under Bolshevik Rule

London, Jan. 3.-(British Wireless
Service) dissatisfaction and des-
peration in Petrograd, caused by the
almost complete disappearance of
the necessaries of life and the sys-
tenn of gvernment in effect under
bolshevik rule, are so widespread
that the populace is on the verge OF
an outbreak, according to Danish
business man who has returned from
Russia.
Conditions in Petrograd are ex-
ceedingly depressing" he says. "Ex-
cept for the red guard and its
agents, the whole population is in
direst need. Petrograd is face to
face with complete starvation. The
prices of ordinary articles of food
have risen enormously and it is diff
icult to buy anything, even at these
prices. ....

the factories have been nationalized
and are either closed or in half work.

tionalized and money circulation has
therefore stopped. A recent decree
prohibits the carrying of parcels in
the streets without special pernis-
sion from the Red Guards agents
and, consequently, one is held up
when one tries to 60 out shopping.
No fuel is to be had.
THE present system OF govern
ment is creating general stagnation
and the misery in which the MAORI
ty of the populace is living has fost-
cred dissatisfaction and desperation.

which need only spark to break
out into flames. On all sides it is
hoped that the entente will be able
to find means to supply Petrograd
and save the population from starva-

lively quiet in the streets, but after
dark no one who does not belong
to the ranks OF the red army dares
to 60 out"

sion; Asks of Future.

Berlin, Jan. Shy Associated
Press)-A protest against the "ab-
ject surrender to the Poles" which
is advocated by Herr Ernst. of the
Prussian ministry. is printed by the
Zeitung Am Mittag today. The
minister, who has just returned from
the border, declares that while the
invasion by the Poles could have
been prevented a fortnight ago, the
situation is now hopeless and that
Germany could not regain the ter
ritory occupied by the Poles even
with the division ordered to the
district--a division, he declared,
which it now was impossible to as
semble.
The Zeitung Am Mittag declares
that these statements cannot be true
and it asks why the government
has done nothing in the matter 1t

government as Chinese apathy"
Fears Bolshevists.
The Zeitung Am Mittag also ex.
presses disquiet over the evacua-
ton of Riga by the Germans and
the danger of bolshevik invasion
of Germany.
The government members are in
session today and are reported to
be considering what action to take
for the protection of German cities
from the Poles.
Munich newspapers of this morn

missiles at the front of the Catholic

The newspapers declare that great

is involved in this world change? :? Who are these reborn racial groups who now come forward to their plac. es at the family table? What is our duty toward them and upon what are they to live? What economic independence is essential to national existence? To what extent are we trustees for other peoples? What national purposes have we that should be made secure by interna- tlonal pact or union? Such questions go deep into problems to which even the ripest statesmen have in the past given little thought. And how much less the great body of the people. Yet now it is the duty of the Ameri- can citizen to know of these things; to talk of them, as a process of whipping his own chaotic notions in tC shape; to project himself into a world where all horizons are new. While yet we may hardly be said tc have learned to think nationally, we are compelled to give serious con
 
 cern to the affairs of people of whom we had not heard four years ago. Most removed and isolated of all nations, living on and to ourselves, America has overnight moved into the center of the worlds stage and become subject to every scrutinizing and critical eye. This is a test for all that we have of dignity and wis dom. @
 A wholesale challenge has been given as the result of our own ideal ism--how now may we meeet it? Clearly we must set about making ourselves adequate to think in the larger terms Of this greater life Yet we > must hold fast to that which makes possible any such broad con- ception the ability of men and wo- men to live together under the proved From of our own Government.

Secretary Lane Says That a New National Spirit Must Be FoStered
 Hereafter.
NOW A GREAT POWER
Declares That America as a Leader in Worlds De- mocraCies Has Duty
 Before It.

Secretary Franklin K. Lane in ms annual report to Congress treats upon America's new responsibilities and Americas challenge to the world" as follows:
 I wish to turn to the consideration of that other phase of Americanlsm to which I earlier referred-the need for a larger sense of our responslDli- ity as Americans, both in view or the greater part which this Nation is destined to play in the world affairs and in viey of our manifest obligation at home; and to urge that we make a fresh and strong demand upon the schools of the country to meet the needs of the day that has come, to give inspiration to wider Americanism and capacity for it. America threw the world into a daring maze of possibilities by it's entrance into this war upon lines
 more idealistic than any other na- tional venture in history. And in doing this we challenged the world
  the field of battle but in the much larger field of intellectual moral, and social leadership. Whether we
 can make good before the world de- bends upon our willingness and our ability to see the problems that we must meet and our will to meet them forehandedly. For clearly our right to world leadership in the new day is not to be measured by the number of men who have gone to France CT the things they have done, but by the use we now and from this time forward make of the freedom we have secured for ourselves and oth
 CTS.
 The world has taken us at our word. We said that the institutions
 which we enjoyed were those which the world should enjoy, for they were
 based upon the rights inherent in
 man. We announced ourselves as coming to the rescue of imperiled democracies, and as the war pro gressed we came to the point where we would discuss peace only with those whose government, like our own, came from the people. Beaten upon land and frustrated upon sea, those sole surviving autocracies with which we fought broke into frag ments before the mandate of an idea, and the map of Europe changed
 more in a few days than it had changed for centuries. The aggregat- ing process which had gone on throughout many hundreds of years. and which had been deemed essential
 to National selfprotection, was not only stayed but set at naught, and nations fell into pieces like child's
 puzzle. to be replaced in the general
 picture along lines of racial desire and common culture. This is an unprecedented thing in history Enc my nations came to an "about face" protesting theihselves converts to the
 new faith, willing pupils in a new school Thus out of an international struggle which we entered upon un- willingly we find ourselves emerging
 with a greater burden of national re- sponsibility and a larger sense of the
 meaning of America-Amcrica as a leader in a world of democracies, if not a world democracy.
