Says Germans Must
Await Outcome of
Worlds Affairs

Berlin, Nov 25-The peace treaty
of Versailles constitutes the sole
basis of Germany's eastern policy to
day and tomorrow, asserts the North
German Gazette. The newspaper
points out that Germany, in that
treaty, engaged to declare the treaty
of Brest-Litovsk to be null and void
and to recognize such new erstwhile
Russian border states as might re-
ceive the approval of the Entente.
The paper denounces the German
Independent Socialists for endeavor-
ing to induce the German govera-
ment to open negotiations with the
soviet government of Russia. 1t de-
clares that the intention of the In
dependents is to lead the German
government to support the Russian
Bolshevik regime and to give it mil
itary, economic and diplomatic back
ing.
This says the paper, "would be
a breach of the peac9 terms and
would bring about Just what the In
dependents are so anxious to avoid.
a conflict with the Entente.
1T must remain, therefore, that
the German government lives with
the soviet government neither in
peace nor war. but that it awaits the
development of affairs in eastern Ell
rope until the hour when relations
can be established, without endanger-
ing Germany's fate"

5000 Women and
Children Taken by

Tiaga, Siberia, Nov. 25.-Eight
thousand wives and children of Off
GERS making an eleventh-hour flight
from Omsk are reported to have been
captured by the bolsheviki ten miles
east OF Omsk The retreat of the
rearmost units of the Siberian army
from the all-Russian capital became
a stampede, the troops throwing
away their guns and commander
ing locomotives, trains and carts in
which to escape. Fifteen trains car
rying officers and their families, be-
sides scores of other trains filled
with refugees, ammunition and mer-
chandise, fell into the hands of the
bolsheviki, who followed up the Cos
sacks by cavalry pursuit.
Admiral Kolchak is reported TO be
approaching Novo Nikolaevsk. One
year after assuming the supreme
leadership Admiral Kolchak today is

which has been badly shattered.

wounded. They were permitted to
go on.
On another occasion, Lieutenant
James Ashworth, on similar duty for
the Red Cross, was held up by a
rowing band in the mountains be-
tween Cattaro and Cettinje. Ignor-
officer doubled the speed of his mo-
tortruck and escaped. After these
two incidents all Red Cross trucks
were accompanied by armed guards.
There are only a few large towns,
and communication between these is
difficult. The largest town is Pod
goritiza, which is the commercial
center and is situated among the
mountains. Cettinje, famous alike as
the home of ex-King Nicholas and the
! scene of Lenhar's popular play, "The
Merry Widow" was written
in the shadow of the neighboring
mountains--is town of less than
/ $4,000 population and is the seat OF
! the royalists. It's talest building is
three stories high. AS in most parts
of the Balkans, there are picturesque
Turkish mosques and minarets to re-
mind one of the time when the Mos,
lem held sway throughout the Near
East.
A great many of the people in
Montenegro are extremely poor. They
live in crude houses of stone and
mud. These houses usually contain
single room and are without VIM
dows. Timber is so scarce that it has
the value almost of precious metal.
In the poorer sections of the country
the people live in caves. In the town
of Podgoritza the correspondent
counted 81 persons in cavern hol-
lowed in the rock. These unfortu-
mates slept together in the bare earth
floor and ate out of a common bowl.
Their only food was that supplied
by the American Red Cross. Their
clothing consisted fer the most part
of scraps of burlap and carpet.
The Americans have been trying
to train native girls as nurses, but
i'll the higher Montcnegrin circles a
girl is considered to have forfeited
her chances of marriage once she en-
cages in work outside her own homo.
The peasants, however, have been
quite ready to engage in this humane
work. Thanks To the work of the
Red Cross doctors and nurses, nurs-
ing gradually is becoming one of the
most honorable professions among
the women of Montenegro, where for
merly it was looked upon as undig-
nified and degrading.

found health in that good old-fash-

if you are suffering from some

to do for it and have tried other
remedies without help, ask your
neighbor if she has ever used
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

who have been restored to health

I'm complete accord with the princi-
pies stated by Dr. Garfield as a fair
and sound basis for settlement
OF the present wage controversy"
The comparative figures submit
ted by Secretary Wilson were
characterized as misrepresentation
and misleading" in that he left out
of consideration all machine miners
and all day laborers. Machine min
ers now constitute over so per cent
of the miners employed in the CEN

statement. and men not paid on a

of the total employees of the central

1.-THE average total increase in pay
over the 1913 base, which was the
base considered in 1917, should not
exceed the present average increase
IN the cost of living over the same
base" was interpreted by the oper-

be given the day laborers as well as
the men who mine the coal.
