HUNS INSULT OUR FLAG.
German Officials Use Machine Guns
but Meet Defeat.

London.-Firing by German officials
on an allied automobile carrying an
American flag was the cause of street
fighting in Posen last Friday, says a
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
from Copenhagen.
The Germans were defeated In the
fighting. About 1873 persons, includ-
ing a number Of women and children.
were killed during the rioting.
1t is said that the trouble began
when allied and American flags were
hOisted over the city hall.
The Germans demanded that the
flags be hauled down. The Poles re.
fused to acquiesce, whereupon the
Germans brought up machine guns and
began firing in the streets, driving
back the crowds and dispensing the
Polish troops.

DANIELS ADVOCATES
EXPANSION OF NAVY.
ONLY GENERAL AGREEMENT OF
COUNTRIES ON DISARMAMENT
CAN END BUILDING.
Must Be Prepared to Contribute
Equally to Any Other Nation In
the World, Even for Police
Work, Declares Secretary.

Washington.-Unless league of ma
0ons or other tribunal that will make
certain the limitation of international
armament is established, the United
States must build the greatest
navy in the world, Secretary Daniels
told the house naval committee
1T is my firm conviction" declared
the secretary, shat If the conference
1t Versailles does not result in a gen.
eral agreement to put an end to naval
building on the part of all the nations,
then the United States must bend her
will and bend her energies, must give
her men and give her money to the
task of the creation of incomparably
the greatest navy in the world"
With the completion of the proposed
new three-year building program,
adding ten dreadn0ughts, six battle
cruisers, ten scout cruisers and 13O
smaller craft to the fleet, America still
will rank second in naval strength to
Great Britain, said the secretary, who
appeared before the committee to
make his final recommendations for
the 1920 naval bill which the commit
tee Is considering.
The naval secretary said that If a
league oftnations Is established, Amer
lea must provide large part of a
world police force necessary to enforce
the leagues DEGREES. He added, how
ever, that with such league formed
It would not be necessary to carry out
the full construction program, and
asked the committee to include in the
bill legislation empowering the presi-
dent to stop construction at his dis
eretion II an international agreement

BRITISH ELECTORS
SUSTAIN COALITION
SWEEPING TRIUMPH At THE
POLLS OF DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
AND HIS SUPPORTERS.
Paclflsts and Women Candidates Are
Routed, Former Premier Asquith
and Most ot His Able Lieu
tenants Meeting Defeat.

LondOn.-The broad features of thu
election results announced Saturday
are the sweeping triumph Of the LloyG
George coalition. the complete rout OF
the Asquithians, the pacifists and the
women candidates, and, perhaps mOs1
significant Of all, the victory Of the
Sim Feiners all along the line.
That the coalition government would
be victorious had been foregone con
clusion, despite the -rumblings of ru'
NOR between the polling and the
counting of the votes that labor would
make an unexpected showing. But
that David Lloyd George would com.
mand completely an overwhelming ma.
jority in the new house in the proper
tion of almost five to one had never
been contemplated, even by the most
sanguine coalitionists. And since
coalition, as it now operates, is dis
tinctly more conservative than liberal
in its composition and tendencies, this
result Of the first election under the
extended franchise and with the par
ticipation of millions Of women voters
Is most suggestive. @
Premier Lloyd George has 519 seats
for his coalition, out Of membership
of 7N. The Smn Feiners have elected
seventy members, and labor approx
mately seventy-five.
OF fourteen women candidates, only
one will be entitled to sit in the house
of commons, namely, a Sim Feiner,
Countess Markievicz, who was elected
for st. Patrick's division of Dublin
city. But, as the Sim Feiners refuse
to sit at Westminster, the house of
commons will, as hitherto, be com.
posed entirely of males.
Among the surprises of the election
was the defeat of H. H. AsQuith, the
former premier. He is rejected in
company with most of his ablest lieu
tenants, including Sir John Simon,
former home secretary; Reginald Nc
Kenna, former home chancellor of the
exchequer; Walter Runciman, former
president of the board of trade; Her
bert Samuel, former postmaster gen.
eral; Charles F. Masterman, former
chancellor of the Duchy Of Lancaster,
and others.

Returns After Service With

An air fight averages twenty see

Swimming the clouds at 140 miles an

geste6 intensely interesting pictures
OF the Sky lighting.
PIenSy of Germans
We didn't have the German planes
helpless, he says. The notion that
Foxkar seldom poked it's nose from a
hangar was ali nonsense. The Ger
mons were thick in the air, thicker
than our own planes, and whenever
you wanted a fight you could get it.
And usually the air service wanted
one.
With the weather clear, small or
large groups, three to $50 &pads, the
fighting French hornet thai battIed
with the German Follkers, would rise
from behind our lines and climb sky
ward with American pilots in the
seat.
Little dots, the one-seated Fokkers,
would show silvery wings against
the sky from the enemy country
midgets dancing in the sun-and be-
fore the minute hand of a watch
could tick sixty seconds the tiny craft
would be at each other thousands Of
feet in the air.
Within the clouds themselves the
hornests would turn and drop and
maneuver-not long drawn contests.
Twenty seconds would end the thing
The vanquished would go don, usu-
ally in cloud of fame, and the vic
tor would turn homeward, or search
for other enemy planes.
Perhaps after all the airmen know
best. Perhaps words can't tell the
story of the baby craft that battled
under the heavens in France But
a better picture is badly needed, an
illuminating phrase, a revealing in

It was back in Bible times that the
office of food administrator came

DEATH was in all lands; but in all the
land of Egypt there was bread .
And Joseph opened all the store
houses, and sold unto to Egyptians:
and the famine waxed sore in the
land of Egypt. And all countries
came into Egypt to Joseph for to
buy corn" says Good Housekeep-

History is said to repeat itself,
and today, assuredly, all the world
is thronging to America, even as in
that former time it came to Egypt,
for to buy corn Had it not been
for a second historical repetition,
