QUESTION AS TO WHO SHALL
CONFIRM MURDER SENTENCE
(By Associated Press.)


Berlin, July 3.-Question has been
raised here as to what authority un.
der the Prussian law, shall confirm
the virdict Of the military court which
convicted several persons of the muir
Ger of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg.
In former times the sentence would
have been confirmed by the king Of
Prussie, the German emperor. Now
it is elibeved that the Prussian pre-
inner as head of the Diet, is the prop
er person to take this action. Mean
while the convicts remain in prison
and cannot appeal from the verdict
of the military court.

Without meaning to be impertinent
we rise to ask, what does J. V.

party in Florida, or what right has
he to speak for it? His connection
with the last State campaign, in which

The Fall of omsk

The year is ending. Kolchak is not
at Moscow, but the soviet armies are
at 0msk, and Kolchak's government is
in imminent peril of dissolution. On top
of this come new misforiunes for Dene-
kline, who has been driven out of Kiey
by the Ukrainians and is threatened in
the rear by a revolution north of the
Caucasus which Is said to have 10000
men in the field to be closing in on
Denekine's former capital, Ekaterino-
slay. Such news is not likely to en-.
courage Poland and the Baltic states to
continue war which they desire to
end
When the evacuation of 0msk began,
it was said at Kolchak's headquarters
that its Importance was political rather
than military. This Is very true, and
its loss is a political even more than a
military defeat for Admiral kolchak. If
he could have won Siberia to his side he
could have held Omsk, and might even
have taken Moscow, With the fullest
possible opportunity to win the support
Of the Siberian people during the full
year of his dictatorship, he failed most
dismally, and some of the reasons are
not far to seek.
For some of them, such as the in
tractable and rebellious temper of in
dependent leaders like Semenoff, he is
not to blame. Ii would be unjust also
to hold him responsible for all the sins
of the reactionaries who gathered about
him at omsk; personally he may be
good deal better than his associates
But the fact remains that sloth, ineffi-
cheney and graft fourished under his
regime, and that he was unable or
unwilling to get rid of undesirable ele-
ments. His assumption Of Dictator

ship alierated many, yet il might have
been forgiven if he had set up pro-
gTessive, efficient and humane govern
ment. The contrary has been the case.
Under his rule the white" terror, as
Kerensky points out, has rivaled the
"red" terror. His administrative weak
ness is conceded by his friends and con-
trasts with the administrative ability
which Lenine's government is show
ing And finally, the reactionary tenn
per of his government is shown by his
waiting for the evacuation of Omsk
to begin before giving his reluctant
consent to long overdue agrarian re-
forms. For all these reasons the revo-
lutionists have been steadily winning
the great battle Of rival propaganda,
the outcome of which mainly settled
the fate Of 0msk With Kolchak are
men who rival the Bourbons in learn
ing nothing, but who have forgotten
what happened to the Bourbons,- ~

Cough Remedy, and l forgot the name,
I went to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the line on

again, and III never 90 home with
