WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Reports
bearing on Germany's peace plans are
reaching here through several chan
nels The information tends to show
that the enemy by no means has given
up hope Of now obtaining by diplo-
matic trlckery advantages sufficient to
nulllfy the decisive effect OF military
defeat, avert apparent collapse of power
and enable "the new young German re-
public" 10 emerge from the Paris con-
ference more in the role Of a victor
than a vanquished nation.
The Germans are frankly counting on
master craftsmanship, supported by
cunning. intrigue and propaganda, TO
attain this end.
The menace to the Entente and to the
United States is regarded by officials
here as not to be scOffed at.
Part Of the German program is con-
Quoted openly and with apparent frank
ness, coupled with the typical arro-
gance Of the Teuton diplomats. But
a considerable portion Of the work Is
being done with the same uncanny Sc

dangerous to the United States and the
Entente.
Some OF the features OF this latter
plan have been framed with reference

Germany admittedly cannot count any

forth. The first weapon used by the
Teutons after the military collapse was

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-That the

a report OF government official whose
duties have TO do with the German,
BolshevIst I. W. W., and certain phases
OF Socialistlc propaganda in the United
States.
These p-opagandists are carrying on
their work through various newspapers
with a few exceptions all printed in
foreign languages, and for the first time
since April 6, 1917, when the United
states entered the war, these papers are
openly advocating class war in the
United States and the setting up of
form Of Bolshevist government.

dealing with this propaganda. all OF IL
data concerning matters which have
come out since the signing Of the arm

; Accompanying the report are ex-

fruits OF the great revolutionary strug-

The Elore, a Hungarian daily Of New

signed, printed the following. "The
war was but the terrible coping of the

class. The Socialist press has never
forgotten to emphasize this fact. To-

day."
America is prosperous well fed, generous.
A fund is being created here to help these
children. II is hard TO conceive of a nobler
charity.
Mr.. Hoover speaking Of this, says: IL
know that the American people would have
no resentment at any effort undertaken TO
give support in saving the lives Of children
during this winter The destruction Of
war has borne hardly on the children of
former enemies as well as friends, and thel
American people have not been fighting
children. The European children's fund has
large reserve stocks of food at Trieste, but
as we have no resources other than those
provided by the Hungarian committee, We
Of course, cannot draw on these reserves
beyond the funds placed at our disposal"
There is the situation. Untold human
suffering in Hungary. Little children
dying of sheer starvation. Mothers waiting
hours every day in line TO secure a pittance
of bread, coal and milk. The whimper of
a vast multitude of babies in cold and
hunger.
And not far off, at Trieste, ample sup
plies, waiting for your dollars to bring
them to where they mean life.
Go without one meal today and feed those
that are starving Do without butter, or
dessert, or coffee or tobacco, or ice cream
soda for week, and send the price to pluck
the little ones from the brink of the grave.
Send your money-and do it quickly

thousand dollars to a postage stamp.
