The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-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 power 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 land and by sea on the old
model. BY these means only can Ger
many be able to have a weighty voice in
the so called peoples league. The fur

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 sbe deliberately let loose on
Germany and all people who might pos
sibly authority would refuse to
make any effort. 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: SSThe general
aim will be to secure that there shall
be only ~ houses to the acre in urban.
and eight in rural areas. A great number
of them, in addition to a kitchen. larder.
scullery. three bedrooms, washhouse. and
bathroom or bath, should, in the opinion
of the local government board. be proyid-
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 for
these standard fittings. and, where prac-
ticable, existing munition factories and
works will be used to produce fittirS-s
to provide employment for as MANY ,nuni-
ton workers as possible"
Criticism of former President Taft. fo,nt
chairman OF the national war labor board
and a statement, that the New York lar
Dor strike may Ibe renewed shortly. are
voiced by Thomas L.. Delahunty, presi-
dent OF the marine workers affiliation.
The marine workers are irritated.,, said
i)elahunty. because Taft has allowed
the ieague of nations congress to take
precedent over the settlement OF thei.
controversy with ship owners,
1t has been noted that the year 1917
marks the Tooth anniversary OF the btrtr
of James Russell Lowell. CharIes Dr.na,
Walt Whitman and Julia Ward Ho 40.
