From Representative Keith.


Dear Editor-I notice the following
in the editorial column of the REGIS
TER l received this morning: "The
st. Louis papers report Representative
Keith as convert to Senator Reeds
ideas with respect to the League of
Nations. Mr.. Keith will find 'eon-
verts' few and far between when he
gets home" beg to inform you,
my dear editor, that the ST louis pa
pers reported me incorrectly. Brief
ly the following is correct account
of the whole affair.
The Joint Assembly adopted con-
current resolution inviting Senator
Reed to deliver an address on the
League OF Nations before the General
Assembly. was one who voted to
invite him to address us. We all knew
Senator Reeds ideas concerning the
League of Nations before we invited
him to address us. Notwithstanding
WIG law uliup hO Woo OuE SuoouS OLA
teen representatives left the hall
while he was speaking. Twas not one
of them. The following day caucus
of the Democrats of the House was
called and Representative Farris Of
fered resolution rebuking Senator
Reed because of the speech he had
made the day previous. I left the
caucus and was not party to the
adoption Of the resolution for the
reason that thought 1t would do the
party more harm than good,
saw the reporter for the Republic
Immediately after I left the cadcus
and told him that I did not think it
best for the Democrat Party that we
adopt such resolution. also told
him that I was in favor of the League
of Nations and had not changed my
mind, except that had become con-
vinced that some changes needed to
be made in the proposed Constitution
of the League. Notwithstanding
this, he reported as you state in your
editorial.
/ had no conversation with the 9th
er st. Louis reporters different from
that with the reporter for the Re-
public.
Later Representative Farris cIrcu-
lated petition among the Demo-
cratic members asking the chairman
of the Democratic State Committee to
call convention of Democrats con-
demning Senator Reed. I refused to
sign this petition because thought it
would be harmful to the Party, and
the chairman has refused to call the
meeting.
l believe you will agree with me
since you know the facts. Iwould do
nothing that would injure in the least
the Democratic Party. am just as
strong for League ofNations as any
one and am perfectly willing to leaYe
the whole matter with our great
President believing that he will see to
it that none of our sovereign rights
are relinquished. However, I believe
that this subject should be discussed
from every angle, as better agree
ment among the nations concerned
will thereby be brought about.
Sincerely,
J. III. KEITH.

From MIR. HiIburn.

Editor Register wish to make the
following clipping, which appeared
in the Arkansas Gazette under date
of March 18th, part of this article:
LONDON, March Dispatches
from Berlin report that the suppress
sion of the recent Spartacan outbreaks
there has shown that military and
monarchist reaction is growing and
cvershadowing the new government.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Mail, who on February 27 sent dis
patch outlining plans fora monarchist
uprising in Germany, has arrived in
London, having left Berlin on March
14th after residence there of three
months. He repeats the statements
made in his dispatch, saying that Prea-
ident Ebert, Chancellor Scheidemann
and Minister of War Noske are mere
ly puppets. He says that to retain
power they have allowed members of
the military casts to reappear as Or
ganizers of the new Republican arm
les.
'sThese men are the real governors
of Germany" he says, "They make
the edicts and Chancellor Scheide-
mann and his colleagues willingly sign
them.n
Similar testimony is given by other
correspondents in telegraphing from
Berlin. Some say that the capture of
the suburb of Lichtenberg has been
Intentionally prolonged with view
to exterminating the Spartacans,
whose treatment at the hands of gov
ernment troops is said to he sharply
condemned. While alleged atrocities
are attributed to the Spartacans, de-
tails which have been given are dou-
bled or denied. Even the Vorwaerts
admits them to be much exaggerated.
The correspondents concur in the
statement that extreme bitterness has
been created againt the government
troops and that further trouble is in
evitable.
According to dispatch to the Mail,
the Spartacan revolt will certainly re-
cur in ever-increasing forces unless a
a miracle happens. 1t adds that Herr
Noske's forces have been recruited by
bribes and promises of big ration and
that to this may be attributed some of
the food shortage in Berlin.
It shows that for some purpose
those friends of militarism have been
allowed to rule in Germany while the
real democrats, the so-called sparta
cans, the enemies OF the Kaiser and
military rule, have been slaughtered
like wild animals, while the allied
world looks on with utmost COM
plaisance. The revolving brutality in
the murder of Rosa Luxemberg hard
ly reused any comment in the Ameri-
can capitalist press and yet she had
won the hatred of the. Kaiser and his
lords of villainous Huns.
I notice in the papers that re-
primand is recommended for the
Kaiser. Surely this punishment will
be greater than he can bearthe
man who ordered infants and aged
women and men bntchered. That
black fiend is to be reprimandedl

the air in an airship, kick him out

Every Liberty Loan Worker May Get
Priceless Trophy.

Every worker participating in the
Victory Loan, which will be offered to
Che public April 81, will be awarded
medal by the Treasury Department
for his services. The medal will be
made from captured German cam
;hon, with a reproduction of the
Treasury on one side and certifcation
Sof loan participation on the other.
Under the plan announced at Wash
dngton, the medal will be the size of
half dollar. Space will be left for en-
Craving the name of the participating
worker ON one side.
The medal will be to the workers
fn the Victory Loan, working after
the guns in Europe have been stilled,
what the Distinguished Service Cross
was to the worker in the trenches for
fthe harder and more dangerous SER
vice. 1t is intended as an apprecia-
ton of the service to the thousands of
American citizens who realize that
the war has been won, but who also
are conscious of the fact that the
troops have not been brought back
home, and who are anxious to work
to the end of perfecting demobiliza-
tion and readjustment OF industrial
conditions.
Purchasers of the Victory Loan will
not be presented with medals because
the intrinsic value of the notes will be
worth par. But those who devote
their energies to interesting the peo-
pie in any of the Government activ-
tiles toward purchases. The possi-
bility of securing one of the medals,
which will be the official recognition
by the Government of the work per-
formed, should act as stimulus to
men and women in working for the
Victory Loan. The only restriction,
and that really is no restriction, is
that the medal will go only to those
who are in advance authorized to per-
form the work on which the claim for
award of the medal is based.
Consequently, where residents of
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
are ambitious to have one of the med
ais they should make proffer of their
services to whatever branch Of the
campaign they want to engage in.

ROW IN ROME OVER "TIPS"
CLOSES ALL THE CAFES

ROME. June 20 Correspondents Of
the Associated Press) .-Restaurant
walters have been recently veritable
ancient Caesars in Rome, for they
have controlled both the public and
the hotel and restaurant poprietors.
Romans cannot eat outside the con-
fines of their own home. for there is
now no place to eat. All restaurants
are closed.
The quarrel is on the unending sub
ject OF tips. 1t has been the policy
during some weeks to include the tip
in the bill. At the end of each day
the walters share would amount to
20 per cent of the gross receipts in
some cases. The proprietors found
that this procedure was not accepta-
BILE to the guests and asked the wait
ers to return to the former system of
voluntary tipping. They refused.
The refusal eliminated in a strike
Some hotels were forced to accede to
the demands of the walters, and in
these alone was any one able to pro
cure food. Because these hotels were
be served, the walters clashed with the
patrons. Italian officers accompanied
by women were insu1ted. while a dig
nified British general. just returned
from the campaign in Palestine, was
subjected to a somewhat torturesome
excoriation.

NEW CABLE PROPOSED
FROM u. S. TO SWEDEN
Financial Interests Here May Meet
Need of Direct Service With
Scandinavian Country.

STOCKHOLM, June 20 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-Strong
financial interests in the United States
have under consideration with au-
thorities of the Swedish government
a plan to lay a cable from America
to Sweden, making the landing at
Gothenburg says the Dagens Nyheter.
British monopoly and control of
cable connection between Sweden and
the United States and the exercise
of British censorship in the war has
caused some adverse criticism here.
The American minister. Ira Nelson
Morris, now in the United States, is
said to be energetically supporting
the plan under consideration, and it
is understood here that one of the
purposes of his visit to America was
in connection with the proposed new
cable service.
Advocates of the proposal point to
the prospect that a considerable part
of American trade with Russia, Fin
land, Poland and the Baltic provinces
will pass through Scandinavian coun-
tries, and they see in this increased
need Of a direct cable service with
the United States.

TWO HUN FACTIONS,

BERLIN, July (via Copenhagen,
Denmark, July O.-'Let us see who
is stronger, the government or Mr..
Noske"-such was the challenging
statement made to me today by gov
eminent official. speaking of the case
of Philip Price, who has now been
four days in the Moabit prison without
a charge against him and treated as
common prisoner. 1t may sound like
rather strange remark from an Off
cial, but it expresses exactly what is
a reality in Germany.
Everything happening in Germany
today indicates, indeed, that there are
two governments here: One the OFF,
cial-the civil and parliamentary gov
eminent of President Ebert, of the
cabinet and the national assembly, and
the other the government of Noske. of
martial law and of letters de cachet.
One sympathizes with the perplexed
officials question Which, indeed, is
the real government and which is the
stronger? Foreign Minister Mueller
has again asked for Mr.. Prices re-
lease in special telegram from
Weimar Moreover, the president Of
the republic, Ebert, has interviewed in
Prices favor, but in vain. Noske will
not have it, and remains unaffected.
The public prosecutor protests that he
has no case to bring forward against
Mr. Price, that there is no charge on
which he could be brought to trial,
that he has committed no offeHse
against the laws of Germany, and that
it is illegal to keep him in prison.
Mr.. Noske cares nothing. The pub
lie prosecutor sent an order to the
Moabit prison to liberate Price at once.
Just as it was to be carried out, an
other order arrived from Noske that
Price was still to be kept under pre-
ventive arrest. Released by the gov
eminent of Ebert, the British journal
list is kept in prison by the govern
ment of Noske. Again let us ask,
Which government is real and which
is stronger in Germany, the civil or
the military, Ebert or Noske?
