SPARTAcAN REVOLUTION
FALTERS UNDER WEIGHT
OF GOVERNMENT FORCE
BY JOHN GRAUDENz,

BERLIN. Jan 12.-The government
apparently has broken the back of
the spartaean revolution.
Chancellor Ebert's determination On
employ force to the limit was having
Its effect. Bloody nghting continued,
but the government troops were VIC
tortous and the insurgent resistance
seemed to be losing its power.
The majority OF the independent
Socialists were keeping of the streets
and II was believed they had begun
TO abandon the Spartacan movement
as hopeless. Two-thirds OF Police
Presidents Eichorn's men had de-
serted him and gone over to the Koy-
ernment Eichorn said this morning
that the Spartacans will abandon
their demonstrations and cali a gem
eral strike instead.

Determination
BY GERTRUDE GUNTER

What force is there 80 great as De
termination? What word so closely
associated with success? For is it moi
true that when we determine to do
thing we invariably succeed, if the
determination be strong enough:
What chance indeed has Failure against
Determination? AS long as the deter
mination is not allowed to waver, fail
ure is kept in the background.
If you have an unpleasant task to
do, don't dread it, but determine to do
it more efficiently than ever before.
Determine what first to do and why.
Begin work with the thought, II
am determined. Next you'll be won
dering how easily it was done and what
made you ever dread it anyway. Best
of all, you have strengthened your
determination or will; have proven that
the determination is the controlling
factor in success Of any kind. You
W have self confidence-confidence
that will aid you in attacking grea ter
things.
Now, with this strong determination
and confidence in self, calmly deter
mine to succeed in life; to get the best
for yourself, without interfering with
someone else's privilege of doing the
same.
always do unto others as you'd
have others do unto you" This will
not in any way hinder your chance OF
success; rather it will tend to vastly
increase it.
Never allow your determination to
weaken. Hold rigidly to the thing in
hand. Never work ut cross purposes.
Do not allow mere trides to interfere
with your set. purpose. Do the thing
you determined upon, regardless OF
obstacles. Say to yourself: II am
determined; nothing can hinder me;

WIDE DIFFERENCE IN LIVES
Something of Moral in the Careers
of John Burroughs and the
late Jay Gould.

More than seventy years ago two
boys attended the village school of
Roxbury. among the Catskills, togeth-
er. They sat in adjoining seats. One
wrote composition for the other, and
charged him 20 cents for the perform
ance. The man who collected the cash
for his writing was Jay Gould, who
died at the age of fifty-six and left an
estate valued at $70,0OOOOO. The man
who paid cash for the composition
was John Burroughs, the famous
naturalist and writer, who recently
celebrated his eighty-second anniver-
sary at his beautiful vine-clad cottage
on the Hudson.
Burroughs hasn't been bending all
his efforts to getting money, although
he has acquired competence of this
worlds goods. He says he has taken
real joy out of life. Nature appeals
to him in a marvellous way, and he has
passed his feelings on to the world
in his many books.
