Monster Demonstration.

Berlin, Jan. 6, 1 D. III. (By The Associated Press. )-The Spartacus group is engaged today in a big demonstration against the govern ment. Tens of thousands of followers Of Dr Karl Liebknecht have been parading Unter den Linden and the Brandenbergers-st -strasse and as this dispatch is filed are returning along Unter den Linden. Up to this time no shots have been fired.
 The W1lhelnstrass from Inter den Linden to below the Leipsigstrasse is packed full of government synpa- thizers who have been standing there for two hours. It appears to be tho governments strategy to prevent the Spartacans demonstrating before the government offices.
 First Fighting Takes Place.
 Hundreds of youths and other civil ians in the Spartacan ranks are carrying rifles. Fist fighting has occurred at the corner of the Will helmstrasse and Unter den Linden, where the Bolshevik monstatOrs took away their opponents standards. Spartacan soldiers took a stand in open order in front of the Hotel Adlon with their rifles ready, but there was no firing.
 The Spartacan marchers, except the workmen from certain factories, comprise the scum of the city, and four-iifths of the whole number are bedraggled women and young girls.
 American Flag Hoisted.
 The American flag has been hoisted over the Hotel AdIon, where the American officers belonging to the prisoner and food commission are living.
 The opinion seems general that only miracle can prevent bloodshed before the end of the day.

Discusses Peace Terms.

Discussing other phases of the work of the peace conference, Senator MoCumber said the congress at Yer sailles may find it necessary to return to Belgium all the territory wrested from her in 1899 and thus make the Rhine river the western boundary of Germany.
 '"The Allies" he said, "may deem this necessary to place Germany in a position where the wicked teachings of her military and political rulers which brought on this war cannot in the future influence any great portion of Europe and thus re-endanger it's peace and safety"

For that reason, however, they are all

They have managed to wiggle them
selves into various organizations, however,
both industrial and political, and have set
every stage possible for upheaval in the

OF course, the situation is not so bad as

question, ''Resolved: That the German

at the peace conference"
There is no question that the partlcl-

heard it, considered it merely an entertain

ton of the public school authorities to the
possibility of just such discussion being
disseminated as German propaganda in
our schools.
The greatest care should be observed to
eliminate from the youthful mind all in

has shown itself to be monstrous.
Such is the German nation. 1t is COM

Own Your Own Home.

n N THE belief that nothing stabilizes
citizenship like home ownership, plans
for an Gown Your Own Home cam
paign has been formulated by the depart
ment of labor. The matter is pushed to the
front right now because the hoped-for in
crease in building will afford employment
to many idle men, but the basic principle
is as stated above.
The campaign plan cOntemplates gen
eral committee in each community headed
by prominent and trustworthy citizen.
The business of this committee is to secure
all data with regard to building conditions,
supplies and methods of financing. 1t is to
conduct publicity campaigns, getting in
touch with every man who hopes to build
1t aims to aid him in his attempt to own his
home
More than this, it is hoped to stimulate
in the careless and improvident an inter-
est in home ownership and to educate the
people generally in its desirability.
The man who owns his own home is en-
phatically the responsible citizen.
He is not likely to be swayed easily by
those whose doctrine is to disturb an Or
dered scheme of life. He has the basis for
credit foundation for growth, his own
self-respect and the respect of his neigh
bors, all of which makes for solid Ameri-
canisnf.
