Blanes Bad Beer
for Munich Revolt

BERLIN, Oct. 24-Good beer
would have prevented the revolt in
Bavaria, says Carl Legien, chairman
of the general commission of the Ger
man Federation of Trade Unions,
Herr Legien, whose organization has
membership of 6,5O0,OO0 says the
lack of proper food is at the bottom
of all Germany's troubles. He is op-
timistic, however, with regard to his
country's economic future.
"The German workmen must thor
oughly recover from the effects of
the "fatless years" before he will be
able physically and mentally to put
the old time vim into his work,
though" he says. "Food must be re-
stored as to quantity and quality, but
the workman will find it will cost him
more than during the Hohenzollern
era. Food has been at the bottom of
all the mischief of the last ten months
or more. If munich beer had con-
tanned real malt and hops there would
have been no Bavarian soviet repub-
lie" ..- ....

highways safe, protect relief work

limited Press. 1.-THE Republic of
Esthonia, one of the holf dozen politi-
cal off-shoots of the old Russian En-
pire, has established a national bureau
of public health-the first institution
of it's kind to be founded by one of
the new Baltic states.
Esthonia's nationa' aealth bureau
came into being as the result of Sc
ries Of conferences, just. concluded,
between Minister President Strong
mann and Lieut.. Col. Edward W. Ry-
an, of Scranton, Pa, American Red
Cross Commissioner for Western Rus
sia. Col. Ryan insisted on the es-
tablishment of the national borad of
health as a condition precedenet to
the enlargement of the American re-
lief program in Esthonian territory.
Since its establishment as an inde-
pendent state, EsthonIa mas had no
centralized medical control. The Red
Cross was early on the scene with
medicines and hospital supplies which
were distributed to the institutions
found to be in the greatest need. Lo-
cal organizations hampered in their
work in the interior because of the
difficulty attending a proper alloca-
ton of the relief supplies coming into
Reval.

ARMISTICE DAY.

A YEAR ago today the armistice signed by the
A Germans which ended fighting in the great world
war The occasion widely and noisly celebrated
the climax to prolonged period of bloody battles of de-
vastaton and desoaton It marked the collapse of feuda
autocracy and military tyranny the triumph of democ
racy and promised the regeneration of Europe.
1t is still questionable whether the acceptance of the
armistce by the allied powers not mistake whether
the victorious forces should have pressed their victory
home by invading Germany and occupying Berlin The
acceptance caused by desire to prevent needless
slaughter and the terms made stringent that the foe
was left completely at the mercy Of the victor.
There are signs that this humanitariansm vast
ed upon people schooed in mitaris lost to sense
of honor to chvay and to decency to be incapable of
apprecatng any but brutal treatment And there are
signs in plenty that the old order still survives in Germany
despite the camouflage Of reform and that only oppor
tunity is awaited to revive the plans Of conquest.
Following the armistice has come a reaction at home
from the exaaton of ideasm which united the nation
to win the war The spirit of sacrifice and labor in
has given way to the grossest materiasm
Greed and grab and sefishness rule The land Spiritually
the nation in the dolrus The great leaders develop
ed by the have been crowded from the stage by the
little men of narrow horizon and limited vision and med
desome mediocrity is in the imelight
Armistice Day should be more than commemoration
of victory 1t should recall the natien to the high ideals
upon which the republic is founded and which made it
world power for human rights in the hour of perifor
America should not only be inspired the day of national
danger but be equally true to herself in the der days
of peace.
Let Amsce Day to check the spirit of national
abasement to mamon and restore the spirit of service to
mankind that America may do her full share in the re-
demption Of the world.
