The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1919-02-20

The Hamburger Nachrichten publishes
an opinion by Prince, Heinrich, of Prussia,
that expresses Germany's future goals
as follows: The restoration of Germany
to her old state of owe and prestige
for rebuilding and strengthening her eco
nomical life as before the war; the res
toration of the old monarchy under the
old dynasty with Prussian leadership,
the restoration of the old dynasties in the
federal states, removal of the most para
| sitical soldiers and workers councils. and
the formation of a well disciplined war
power by and and by sea on the old
model. BY these means only car Ger
many be able to have a weighty voice in
the so called peoples league. The fur
Their repulsion Of Jewish influence in
commerce. industry and politics also is
urged"
1t Is reported that Germany is out upon
a blackmail campaign. French troops near
Mannheim are supposed to have relaxed
their discipline to a very serious extent.
British and American, troops are de-
scribed as partly mutinous, and the re-
suit of these stories Is that people begin
to believe the entente cannot enforce the
terms which Germany passively declines.
AS a sort of corrollary to this proposition,
it seems to be supposed that with the
fall of the temporary government bolshe-
vism wouldS be deliberately let loose on
Germany and all people who might pos
sibly authority would refuse to
make any effolt, and the entent would be
faced by a Germany completely an
archistic and utterly unable to make any
contribution whatever to the restoration
even of Belgium and northern France.
In short, the German negotiation would
hold bolshevism at the heads of the en-
tente authorities as a big pistol.
The progress made by the government
of Great Britain in the government hous-
ing scheme Is revealed by the London
Times in a recent issue: "The general
aim VIII be to secure that there shall
be only y houses to the acre in urban.
and eight in rural areas. A great number
of them. In addition to n kitchen. larder,
scullery. three bedrooms, washhouse, and
bathroom or bath. should. i'm the opinion
of the local government board, be provid-
ed with a comfortable living room or
parlor and garden. Practically all the
essential fittings are being standardized.
including doors, windows, Kitchen ranges,
baths. bolts, locks, door handles. and
general fittings. designs Of which have
been, prepared and samples chosen. Ar.
engagements are being made with the min
istry of munitions to place orders q for
these standard fittings. and, where prac-
ticable, existing munition factories and
works will be used to produce fittings
! to provide employment for as many NUM-
ton workers as possible"
Criticism of former President Taft, Joint
chairman OF the national war, labor board.
and a statement that the New York har-
Dor strike may be renewed shortly, are
voiced, by Thomas l.. Delahunty. presi-
/ dent Of the marine workers affiiiation.
The marine workers are irritated,' said
Delahunty. "because Taft has allowed
the league of nations congress to a
precedent over the settlement of their
controversy with ship owners" ) =
