Keeping Up the Spirit.

During the war people displayed a
whoehearted willingness to put them
selves to all kinds of Inconvenience and
made sacrifices of comfort, time and
money in order TO serve the country. The
hope has been expressed in many quar-.
tiers that this same unsclfsh spirit. this
same desire to render service, would
prevail in the years after the war.
Burlington has several problems to be
worked out. There is the proposition of
a large terminal for the port of Bur
lington," which should work out to- the
general advantage not solely of Bur
lington but the state as a whole. Then
again there is the question of road bet
terment. There two distinct proposi.
tions involved-frst a plan to improve
our own streets and the broadest propo-
Eition Of road improvement throughout
the state as a whole. Again the Mer-
chants association and Chamber of Com
merce is interested in "Vctory" build
ing, a sort of monument to civic progress
in Burlington, which shall house the
association and prove, we trust, the
home Of new ideals and ideas for this
city.
These are several of the leading aues-
tions-others are in the background and
will develop from time to time. Just
which of them present or future are there
long to await an answer if the Burling-
ton spirit of war" is maintained.

Outbreaks in Berlin Said to
Be of Insignificant
Nature
A FEW DESPERADOES
FIRE OCCASIONALLY
Most of the Casualties Last
Week Were Among
Bolshevists

Berlin Tuesday, Jan, ID (by the Asso

bolshevism is ended Here and re
scattered desperadoes, mostly youths
still fire occasionally from some house
tops and during the nights attempts are
made by small bands Of the followers OF
DR.. Karl Liebknecht to revive the reign
Of terror. They are insignificant, how.
ever compared with what has passed.
A few Spartacans tried to recapture
the Charlottenburg police headquarters
the night after they were captured by
the government troops
DR.. Liebknecht's sister was arrested
to-day and several hundred rebels are
locked up awaiting trial which, mas
much as martial law was not proclaimed,
must be left to the regular courts.
Losses inflicted on each side during the
past week are as yet estimated only
roughly, but it is believed that they will
greatly exceed two hundred dead and a
thousand wounded The overwhelming
majority of these are bolshevists.
The reinstatement and arming of the
police gives the government a new force
of trained men who know the criminal
world and whose abseuee during the
first days Of the revolution gave the dis
orderly element free hand Police rec,

system, were not destroyed as was first
reported. Detectives are already rounding
up old acquaintance and the work Of
disarming awiess elements is proceed

Property losses during the week of
terror amount to tens Of millions of
marks, in addition TO the damage TO

are very high, one youth being captured
with sixty thousand marks worth Of
jewels which he had stolen. In some
streets near the police headquarters
nearly every store was systematically
looted.

The McAdoo Plan.

Less than a fortnight ago, in his an
nual address to Congress, President VIII
son laid claim to no certain opinion re-
garding the best solution of the problem
of the railroads He said he had no an
swer at hand to the question: What is it
right that we should do with the rail
roads, in the interest of the public and in
fairness to their owners? And several
days later he sailed away for France.
Now comes his son-in-law, Secretary Me.
Adoo, upon the eve of his retirement
from the treasury, with a statement that
the president has approved the plan
which Mr.. McAdoo outlines in a letter to
the chairmen of the Senate and House
committees charged with the considera-
tion of all recommendations concerning
Interstate commerce. In this letter pub.
lished to-day he urges the extension of
the status quo for five years from the
first of January next. He believes that
would afford sufficient time to test the
feasibility of government operation and
fit the nation TO pass with wisdom upon
government ownership as the ultimate
solution.
As director general of railroads since
they were taken over by the president as
a war necessity, he says he has not been
interested in proving or disproving the
theory of government ownership, but he
is opposed to a return to the conditions
existing before he became director gen
eral. Unless Congress is willing to adopt
his recommendations, which he tells us
have already been approved by the presi-
dent,~he gives Congress to understand
that the immediate return of the rail
roads to their owners is the only alter
native available.
Congress can count upon a large body
of popular support, we believe. if its
members will take the president at his
public word and respond to his hope.

After grand review of German
troops at Potsdam the Kaiser called
out to the officer commanding the
Prussian Guard, in a voice loud
enough to be heard by all the dis
tinguished guests who were grouped
in front of the palace: "Pick me out
a hundred men from the Prussian
Guard!" Then, taking the arm of
King Edward VII, who was there, he
said, "Come with me-" He escorted
King Edward very delicately round
the hundred men and then said ban
teringly, "Well, do you think you
could find hundred men in England
to beat them?"
81 don't know so much about that"
promptly replied the late king, "but
could easily find fifty who would try"
