gave the most remarkable insight
into the silent drama that preceded
the German revolution, and into the
political intrigues-"game of duplic-
ity," Ledebour called it-that fol
lowed it.
This man, whose life hung on a
thread, who faced execution as a
traitor. hurled the charge of treason
back into the face of the highest
official in the land-Friedrich
Ebert. He flung at the presidents
right-hand man, Philip Scheide
mann, counter charges of the grav-
est sort and called him a political
juggler. a double crosser" and a
sneaking selfish coward and in
triguer.
Tells of Revolt.
He told, with frankness that
was challenging, his own part in
the 10 months secret preparations
for the revolt of last November,
told how he had been one of the
moving spirits behind the brewing,
boiling unrest in the home front"
while the German armies in the
west were plunging from one vic
tory to another, until the cave-in
at home dragged down with it the
morale of the fighting men on for
eign soil.
And yet he was acquitted.

GENERAL STRIKE
ISTHREATENED IN
NEW SOUTH WALES
Unemployed Demand That
Railways Purchase Coal From
Mines of Country.

Sydney, N. S. w., July II, -
Threats Of a general strike as a
protest against the action of the
dominion government in permitting
the Canadian National railways to
purchase coal in West Virginia,
while Nova Scotian miners are out
of work, were made at mass meet
ing of unemployed at Sydney mines
Friday.
In connection with the fact that
Nova Scotian miners are now work
ing but half time, D. A. Cameron,
M. P, issued a statement in which
he said the situation might be laid
to three causes:
First, communicating by the i'm
perial government of vessels used
in the St. Lawrence coal trade, even
though he contended present freight
rates would be prohibitive.
Second, increased freight rates
charged by the Canadian National
railways.
Third, the fact that cost of coal
at the pit mouth in Nova Scotia
exceeded the cost of American coal
delivered even as far east as Mon
treat or Campbellton, N. B.

After Six Deaths by Drowning
Due to Official Negligence
Policemen Practice Life
Saving.

After six deaths by drowning this
season in Omaha, directly chargable
to members of the police depart
ment and city physicians, who failed
to exercise the proper precaution
and efforts 10 resusctate the vic
tins Chief Ebersten has issued or
de,s for moral squad officers, the
men en- beats. detectives, members
OF the automobile squad and ser
gcahts to take course of instruc-
tons as to how to revive persons
rescued from the water.
DR.. A. J, Edstrom has been select
cd as the instructor and gave the
men their first lesson Thursday
night at the police station. He
lectured to the midnight patrol
before they were assigned to duty.
Chief Eberstein made no refer
cree in his order as to whether or
rot a city physician would be re-
CURED to remain at the station. to
respond to emergency calls
No Physicians Ready.
In each drowning case this sea-
son the victims death to an extent
has been due to the fact that there
was no city paid physician at the
police station, where he is supposed
to be at all times to respond to dis
tress calls. -
The city physicians who are
charged with the duty of holding
themselves in readiness at the sta
ton either have been looking after
their private practice or attending
to their personal affairs when called
to 60 out on drowning case.
Despite the protests that have
been registered on this account. Po-
lice Commissioner Ringer has failed
to issue orders requiring physicians
to remain at the police station.
In each. drowning case this sea-
son in Omaha the city physician was
all hour late in arriving on the scene.
Mr.. Ringer has declared he would
not have the city pulmotor repaired,
because, he declared, it was use
less.
Don't Give Up.
Dr.. Edstrom told the policemen
never to give up working on a per-
son rescued from the water until a
half hour at least had been devoted
TO reviving the victim.
DR.. Edstrom made no reference
to the necessity OF responding
promptly when distress call is re-
ceived.
While Chief Eberstein does not
make any reference to the neglect
and carelessness wit. which the po-
lice and city physicians heretofore
have treated victims of ne water,
his orders that the men be given a
course of instruction in the art of
resuscitation is taken as an acknowl-
edgment on the part of Commits
sioner Ringer that his men have been
grossly inefficient. Public criticism
has forced him to yield to the in
dignant demands of those who have
lost relatives through the neglect
aid incompetency of his depart
fnent.
Promptness Is Necessary.
Attention has been called to the
fact, however, that no lecture
courses will avail anythin :; less
physicians and policemen are kept
at the police station to respond
promptly to emergency calls.
When John Redin died several
days ago following an accidental
plunge into his cistern, he lived for
more than an hour after he was
rescued from the water. In re-

was no physician available and there;
