OF clean and wholesome short stories and sponsor for

at all in their obituary notices. is that he was one

man power is concerned. it was said
yesterday at the Navy Department.
Scores of battleships. cruisers, de-

at navy yards with crews so greatly
reduced that in many cases it is diff

of the Atlantic fleet have anywhere

Scores of destroyers Of the latest type
are in navy yards, it was said. with
barely enough men aboard to keep them
reasonably clean. and in some cases
lie alongside larger ships to obtain heat

FOR FIGHT ON TYPHUS.
Red Cross Supplies Worth Millions
Landed at Russian Port.

The natives of Novorossiysk, Rus
STA, experienced some decided thrills
as a ship entered recently the harbor
carrying 100000 worth of medical
and surgical supplies for the cam
paign against typhus and other cpl
denies, according to reports reach
ing the Red Cross headquarters here.
The boat also carried a small amount
of explosives for the Denekine gov
eminent, and. in accordance with the
International code, displayed a red
flag, for the nature of warning to
other crafts. The villagers mistook
the red flag for the flag of the boil
sheviki and were greatly disturbed.
Their terror turned to joy upon
learning the true nature of the ship
as the carrier of assistance as well
as bringing supplies against the boil
Sheyik forces.

BERLIN, Thursday, September IL
Dr. Hugo Preuss. who drafted the
new German constitution recently
promulgated at Weimar. in a state
ment today to the Associated Press,
severely arraigned the demand made
by the peace conference that Germany
must amend the constitution so as 10
prevent Austrian representation in
parliamentary affairs.
IT must emphasize first" he said.

Legally it is clear and simple. The

ARTICLE 81, paragraph providing
for the admission of Austrian men,
bers of the reichstag), does not
stand as formal contradiction of
the peace terms. this fact being rec
ognized by the signing of the terms
by the allied and associated govern
ments. In the German counter pro-
posals to the original peace terms the
German government explained, in dis
cussing this point. that Germany did
not desire to violate the Austrian
frontier, but that if Austria wanted
to bring about a state of unity with
Germany. the latter could not obli-
gate herself to oppose the wishes of
the German brothers in Austria, for in
that case the right of self-determina-
ton of peoples would count against
Germany.

swer that Germany did not want
forcibly TO violate the Austrian
frontier Thus the peace treaty was
signed. Article 81 does not forcibly
violate the Austrian frontier. Rather
everything is left to the free initia-

discrimination.
