BEBEL WARNED OF DEFEAT
I"enty-one Years Ago German so.;,,
democratic Leader Prophesled
Downfall Of Country.

Under the heading, @The Fulfil.
ment OF Prophecy of Bebel,o the
berner Tagwacht of December Il
points out that p years ago August
beoel, then leader of the German So
cial democracy, warned the German
nation that in case another war came
!! mad no prospects Of winning de-
clslve victory. In speaking in the
!, relchstag on the budget on Deem
Der Is, 1897, Bebel said:
No, Herr Won Kardorf, we shall
have to be glad to keep what we
nave. Even in the government cir
cles no one thinks that, even as vic
tors N such war, would we gather
IN billions in the shape Of war in
IDENTITIES from our opponents, as
was the case in 1870. Such thing
IS simply impossible. At all events
IN the next war we shall have to pay
the war costs ourselves, and be
happy if nothing worse happens to
us. And we shall again have to take
care Of the wounded and the sur
wing relatives of the dead our
selves, without being aided by
French or Russian billions"
The Swiss newspaper remarks that
BebeIs prophecy has come true, Gin
q much more fearful measure than
Bebel imagined, or could have mag
ihed."

LONG HIDDEN FROM ENEMY
Remarkable Adventures of Allied Sol
dlers and Civilians in Lands Occu-
pied by the Huns.

There have been some wonderful
tales told of the way in which men
IN occupied districts have escaped
detection by the Germans. To the
ingenuity and courage of the coun-
trywomen many British, French and
Belgians owe their lives or their lib
erty. There is the case of that Brit
ish hussar who, in the Mons retreat,
managed to escape capture by hid
ing in wood and, after many days
and many adventures, was hidden
by two Belgian peasant women in
cottage. Little by little he assumed
the air and appearance Of peasant
of the neighborhood, and passed
muster even with the Germans. Then
there is the story of the treasurer of
a French town who was hidden by
his wife in the garden for three
years. As town treasurer the Ger
mans were very anxious to catch
him and obtain his books, but the
French wife was too much for them,
and it was only when the Germans
had gone, bag and baggage, that the
town treasurer emerged with his
books.

"CHARLES MARSHALL"

Just how little some persons know
about the vice president of the Unit
ed States was explained in some de-
tail by Thomas Riley Marshall, the
present incumbent of that office, at
dinner in Boston just before Pres
ident Wilson departed for France.
After saying that while some per-
sons knew that such an office existed,
few knew who the incumbent was,
he proved that erudite Boston is no
exception by holding up his place
card, which bore the inscription,

TWO DECISIONS
ON PROHIBITION
ARE PROBABLE
Supreme Court May Act on
Legality of Beer Contents
With Wartime Verdict

Washington, Dec. 12.-The eSu-
preme Court may decide whether the
wartime prohibition act makes ille-
gal the manufacture of all beer or
only that of more than 2.75 per cent
alcoholic content at the same time
it hands down an opinion on the con-
stitutionality of the wartime act and
the Volstead law for the measures
enforcement.
While there was no official an
nouncement to such effect it was the
opinion of court officials at the con-
clusion of arguments late yesterday
on the question of the manufacture
of beer that decisions in both in
stances would be given at the same
time. The courts next decision day
is Monday.
The appeals heard yesterday ie-
suited from the dismissal of Federal
indictments returned against the
American Brewing Company, in New
Orleans, and the Standard Brewery,
in Baltimore, Md, resulting from
their manufacture of beer contain
ing 2.75 per cent alcohol.
Elihu Root and William l.. Mar
bury, appearing for the brewers,
argued that the war beer" was not
Intoxicating and for that reason did
not come under the provision of that
act. If the status is construed as to
include it, Mr.. Marbury said, very
grave doubt as to its constitution
ality would result.

GERMAN REPLY
TO NOTE ON WAY
TO VERSAILLES
Renews Disclaimer of Re.
sponsibility For Scapa
Flow Sinkings

Berlin, Dec. 12.-Germanys reply
to the last notes from the Supreme
Council of the Peace Conference has
been, sent to Versailles. Nothing
has been given out relative to its
contents, aside from a hint that it's
general tenor reciprocates the con-
ciliatory tone of the last communi-
cation from the Entente.
Reports state that the reply re-
news the governments disclaimer
of responsibility for the sinking of
interned German warships at Scapa
Flow and sets forth exceptions TO
the Supreme Councils insistence
upon compensation for the scuttled
vessels. 1t is said to claim that the
Objectionable passage from the let
ter from Admiral Won Trotha, head
of the German admiralty, to Admiral
Won Reuter-, commander of the Ger
man ships, was not translated prop
erly and that it was "out of context
with the rest of the letter.
On the proposition that Germany
sign the protopol to the Peace Treaty
and permit the issue involving the
SNitSS'Si " tOIlelSC W we
adjusted later, it is reported that the
note proposes that the latter be
forthwith submitted to a body of
experts. This stand is taken because
of the importance of the matter to
German harbor facilities. 1t is hop
ed ITO obtain a concession in the
Scapa Flow issue and it is believed
the note indicates q measure of
obstinacy over yielding on this point.
Points Out Internal Aspects
Reports declare that there are no
intimations in the German reply
that the Berlin government has taken
position that failure to ratify the
Treaty by the Uuited States has Gre
ated an altered situation and it is
limited, ii is said, that the Treaty
action by the Uuited States Senate
is a purely internal American affair
that does not absolve the other pow
ers from the obligation of exchang-
ing ratifications.
Belief is expressed here that the
reply attempts to temporize in an
effort to obtain modification of the
demand for indemnity for vessels
sunk at Scapa Flow. 1t is said,
also, that the reply seeks to persuade
the Entente that demands for the
extradition of German officers and
men accused of violations of the
laws of war are fraught with serious
internal aspects.

MEXICO TRIES TO
PLACE MURDER
BLAME. ON i. s
Washington Awaits Official
Text Before Commenting
on Situation
DRUNKENNESS CHARGED
Claims Wallace Ignored Chal-
lenge of Sentry and
Was Shot
BY Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 12.-Officials at
the State Department withheld COM
ment to-day on the last note from
the Carranza government in Mexico
placing blame on the death of James
Wallace, an American citizen, on
Wallace himself, until the official
text had arrived, This was expected
momentarily.
The note was handed TO the
American embassy in Mexico City
yesterday and was summarized in a
dispatch received from the embassy
at the State Department
Intoxicated Is Charge
The note, the summary indicates,
amounts to a charge that Wallace
while intoxicated passed a sentry,
stationed at what is characterized as
a dangerous spot" and the Amer
lean failing to halt was shot and
killed. The note adds that the kill
ing was made q matter of official
record and that the arrest of the
soldier and an investigation of the
incident were ordered Immediately
by the Mexican authorities.
Wallace was killed near the Mex
lean Federal camp at Potrero Tel
Aano, being shot through the back
of the head. He was an employe
of the Aguila Oil Company near
Tampico. The State Departments
information is that the mule which
he was riding SHE'D at a machine
and overturned it.
White House Silent
After waiting expectantly for the
reply to the late note in the case or
William O. jenkins, the American
consular agent, recently arrested and
held in Jail at Puebla, officials e%-
pressed considerable interest in an
Associated Press dispatch from Mex
leo City saying that semiofticlal IN
formation there was that the Mex
lean government would await decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the case
before framing its reply.
While President Wilson had be-
fore him to-day the memorandum
from Chairman Payne, of the Snip
ping Board, detailing the situation
resulting from the interference by
the Carranza government in the OPP
Grafton of American owned oil prop
critics in the Tampico district, there
was nothing forthcoming from the
White House as to whether further
action was planned by this govern
ment in addition to the three notes
already dispatched but unanswered.

HINES TOTAKEU UP
WORK DROPPED
BY DIR. GARFIELD
Fuel Administration to Con-
tinuc 10 Function Through
r. r. Official
TO ACCEPT RESIGNATION
Increased Production From
All Fields Reported as
Miners Go Back

Washington. Dec. 12.-The resg-
administrator, rendered last night,
was forwarded to President Wilson
this morning by Secretary Tumulty.
"Of course it will be accepted" it
was said at the White House. ,
Functions of the fuel admins
traitor, handled recently through the
railroad administration under DIT
Garield's authority, will be contin-
ued under Director General Hines,
it was said. This does not neces-
sarily mean that Mr.. Hines will be
made fuel administrator in DIR. Gar
fields place, it was said.
Objects to Surrender
I'VE are all sorry that DIR. Garfield
feels as he does-he's done a fine
job"-said Secretary Tumulty.
The view at the White House is
that DR.. Garfield was not ignored
in the settlement of the strike. Dr.
Garfields friends say he does not
hold that he was; that his position is
that the government should not
have been put in the attitude of hay
ing surrendered to the miners.
Differed on Statement
1T developed to-day that there was
n difference of opinion as to wheth-
er the Presidents statement TO the
public on the coal Strike should
have been made public last Saturday
night, before it was carried to In
dianapolis.
The President, White House Off
cials said. directed that the state
ment be made public Saturday night.
DR.. Garfield understood this would
be done and on Sunday he told Sec
retary Tumulty he believed the state
ment should be given out immedi-
ately. The Presidents secretary
disagree and, it was said, assumed
the responsibility.
The miners union officials were
said to have told Attorney General
Palmer and Mr.. Tumulty that publ
cation of the statement before the
Indianapolis conference would en-
barrass them in their efforts to have
the miners accept the Presidents
proposal. The miners request was

DAYLIGHT SAVING
ORDINANCE GAINS
MORE ADHERENTS
Warning Is Sounded Against
Compromise Which Would
Kill Popular Measure

The countless supporters of day
light saving in Harrisburg and vicin-
it% who have called on City Council
by numerous petitions to turn the
clock an hour ahead next summer,
to-day were immensely pleased at the
reception given in municipal circles
to the ordinance introduced in City
Council by Mayor Keister.
Partial publication of the petitions
asking Harrisburg to follow the lead
OF New York, Philadelphia and other
big cities has done considerable to
crystaliZe public opinion for the
measure. The entire list of petitions
will be presented to Council next
Tuesday when the ordinance will be
called up for final passage.
Every class of men and women are
included among the, singers. The
city's leading bankers are much in
favor of the measure. other busi-
ness men support the measure be-
cause it will keep the city's banking
hours the same as those observed in
New York. The biggest employers of
labor including Frank j. Robbins, Jr.,
general manager of the Steelton plant
OF the Bethlehem Steel Company, Will
liam Elmer. superintendent of the
Philadelphia Division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, Robert II. Irons, pres
ident of the Central Iron and Steel
Company, and many others are ar
dent supporters of the measure.
A warning was sounded against
a compromise suggested as a subtle
means of killing the ordinance for
the benefit of a small minority. Sup
porters of the ordinance do not want
to follow the plan of letting the
clock be. and attempt to gain the
nd nv
to work ahead of time and quit an
hour earlier.
The idea was suggested by persons
who believe clock time almost sacred.
Business men generally agree that
the confusion would be so great un-
der this method that II would have to
be abandoned within a week.
