THE GERMAN MENACE NOTDEAD
Only Salvation for u. s. is in United
Effort

l
Effort
Washington, Nov. 10. The Repub
lican Publicity Association, through
Its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from It's Washington head
quarters:
"Unless the people Of this country
perceive the yawning economic abyss
that lies before them, and take imme'
diate steps to stimulate production
the fruits of the victory won by the
war will be frittered away. The enor-
nous price in men and money that the
United States paid in order that the
Hun menace might be removed will
have been for nothing.
ut is estimated by European and
American economists that in ten years
Germany will be relatively where she
was before the war. She has huge
reserve store of manufactured goods
Oh hand; her munitions industeries
were planned with a view to their
usefulness after the war; her artisans
and mechanics are voluntarily work
ing ten hours a day, and all are pulling
together in concerted effort to rees-
tablish the nation on sound basis;
her money is SO low as to attract pur-
chaser Of German-made goods; and
her every force and energy is strained
to the limit to speed the work Of re-
construction.
"What contrast with the condi-
tions here ut home! The country is
confronted with threat form its
chief labor leader of complete in
dustrial tie-up, designed to compel
the unconditional surrender Of every
activity to the domination of email
minority Of our citizens who happen
TO have formed themselves into labor
unions. Hanging over our heads is
the imminent renewal Of the inordin-
ate demands of the fourrailroad broth
erhoods with the prostration Of our
transportation systems as the penalty
for noncompliance. More menacing
still is the uncompromising attitude Of
the coal miners. If the mines are shut
down for any length Of time not only
the railroads but practically every
other industrial wheel in the country
must cease TO turn. Or overseas

had expected 80 much with the aid Of
our merchant marine. Is jeopardi2ed. |
Foreign orders will not be placed in
4 country whose manufacturing facil-
ties are in such precarious condi-
ion. Not only does a general strike
Dortend, but even while remaining at
work labor exhibits lassitudc and
lnc0ncern for the future that has
greatly lowers it's efficiency. Not
ably is that true on the railroads; and

hours a week for the fifty-four hours

READING QUOTED
DOWN AFTER NIGHT
OF SERIOUS TROUBLE

Reading, Pa, Nov. 24.-After q
night Of excitement as the result OF
a demonstration of citizens to pre-
vent a#mass meeting OF socialists,
Reading Gained down today and m
fdence war expressed that> no more
attempts would be made by alleged
radicals to stir up unrest in this city.
Much credit was given to the en-
ergetic measures taken by. Mayor Eth.
Filbert, not only in dispensing the
crowd that surrounded the headquar-
tiers Of the Socialists last night, but IN
having the meeting called off.
Socialists, including James II. Maur-
or, presidentfof the Pennsylvania Fed
Grafton OF Labor, had advertised a
meeting at which ReY. Irwin st. John
Tucker OF Chicago was expected to
speak onsthe amnesty of political prie-
oners In defiance of the city authors
ties, who had forbidden the gathering.
This defiance resulted in an open air
mass meeting in the afternoon at
which the determination was reached
to prevent the Socialists meeting.
Five thousand persons gathered at
the Socialists headquarters in the
evening, and the threatening attitude
Of the big crowd caused the meeting
to be called off.
Tucker was taken away in a motor
car by the Socialist committee during
the night. Maurer is not at his usual
haunts today. In an advertisement,
the American Legion thanks the pa
striotic citizens for answering yester-
days call5to make Reading 100 per
cent American. The advertisement
terminates with this sentence:

Poland Needs Ddnzig
To Insure Peace to
Europe, Says Smulski

Poland without Danzig would be i'm
possible as an independent state and
Europe without strong Poland can
never be other than war ridden CON
tincnt, declared John f. Smulski, Of
Chicago, Polish Commissioner in the
United States, at dinner last night
at the Hotel McAlpin given by Polish
organizations to the officials Of the At
lantic Division of the American Red
Cross.
"Should the delegates at the peace
congress agree to any territorial pro
grammc which would deprive Poland
Of Danzig, they will have played into
the German hands, they will have lost
the war and they will have created n
condition 80 that there will be no in

There was no demonstration in the

Villain smiled broadly when he heard
that he was free and shook hands
warmly with his attorney and with
friends who were in the room
While Villains attorneys were sum-

was committed by Villain through pa
triotic motives and contended that
there were psychological reasons for
his act. Villain at times wept while
