NEEDS A
SWIFT KICK
That's What the Allies Should
Give the Germans Who
Are Plotting
WITH THE BOLSHEVIkl

Geneva, March 27.-There is ev-
cry indication thai Germany, on the
very eve of peace, is meditating an
ultimate colossal bluff the conse-
quences of which may be incalcula-
BILE. Continual secret conferences
are taking place at Berlin and Kol-
berg between Marshal Won Hinden-
burg, General Luttwiz, and Colonel
Reinhardt, who are the real rulers
of Germany, and their socialistic
puppets, Ebert, Scheidemann, and
Noske. Prominent members of the
bourgeois parties of the National
Assembly assisted at these meetings
in all which the advisability of re-
fusing to sign the preliminary peace
drawn up in Paris was the subject
of discussion.
The brutal truth must be told
that the menace of labor unrest in
England and certain incidents at
the Paris conference have convinc-
ed the German rulers that the AL
lies are desperate for peace and can
sions by a threat of passive resist
ance on the part of Germany. 1t
is reported that Herr Won Brock
dorff-Rantzau, the German Foreign
Minister, upon his return from Wei
mar to Berlin made the following
characteristic remark in the pres
ence of the former Reichstag lead
erS:
''It is a question whether we have
not everything to gain and nothing
to lose by passive resistance. Mel
ther the Peace Conference nor the
Entente would long survive refus-
al to sign
1t is true this calculation is but
another vast psychological blunder
of the kind which contributed to
German rulers are hypnotized by it's
alluring possibilities, and it is i'm
possible to predict to what extremes
it may lead them.
Erzberger's recent declaration
that the Berlin Government and the
National Assembly would refuse to
sign an unjust peace and would OPP
peal to the people to decide the
question of acceptance or refusal
forms part of this sinister bluff The
pointed question put to the Allies
by the President of the German
Armistice Commission at Spa as to
whether there was any truth in the
report that the German delegates
would not be allowed to discuss
the peace terms and Vorwarts'
threat that in this case Germany
would remember she had become
the most advanced socialistic coun-
try in the world, and would turn to
Russia for help, are simply the log
ica1 continuation of the manoeuvre.
AS matter of fact I learn on ex-
cellent authority that the Russian
Soviet a few days ago made definite
through the Independent Socialist
leaders, promising to restore to Ger
many her former frontiers in the
East and West if the Geman rulers
would consent to make serious po-
1itica1 and social concessions to the
Spartacists and conclude an alli-
ance with Russia. These Russian
proposals are at the root of the
mysterious conferences which took
place recently between Count BROCK
dorff and Herr Haase, which were
| at the time interpreted as an at
tempt to induce the Independent
! Socialists to enter the Cabinet. In
dustria1 and business circles were
much alarmed about these negotia
tions, and in consequence Brock
dorff was violently attacked from
this quarter.

"Irs Billy Bunny. Did you get my

And then the, old gentleman rabbit
began To laugh. and he turned To the
Yellow Dog Tramp and said; Billy

he had Just heard over the phone, and
this made the Yellow Dog Tramp
smile.

hoped ont OF the front door, down the
road until he came to the Friendly
Forest. And then he stopped.
Goodness me- he said, Il must go
to the Three in one-cent store FIRST
and buy valentine for Billy Bunny,
So he hoped down a side road and
by and by after a while he came TO
Rabbitville and then he went into the
Three-in- one-cen store and bought a
valentine for his little rabbit nephew
and after that away he hoped 10 the
old Brier Patch as fast as he could.

he didn't know that she thought he
had sent her a valentine, so he went
down 10 the Three-in- one-cent store
and bought lovely one all covered
with lace and gold hearts and gave II
10 her.
And now i must tell you what Uncle
Lucky said when he got the valentine
that Billy Bunny sent him. He went
10 the window OF his little white house
and called to the yellow Dog Tramp
who took care OF the Luckymoblle In
the winter time:
Come here, YOU good old yellow dog
And see my valentine;
1t makes me feel quite young again.
Attic I'm ninety nine."
And when the yellow Dog Tramp
saw Uncle Luckv's valentine he said.

Goodness gracious meebus. How DO

hit "YoI never know who sends YOU
valentine do you

PROBE PARCEL POST
Reported Abuses in Service to
Be Investigated.
Complaints include careIessness In
Delivery, Rough Handling and
General incompetency.

Washington, June 16.-Reported
abuses in the parcel post service, its
extreme cost to the government
through alleged unbusiness-like meth
DDS in it's conduct, and complaints as
to its operation will be aired before
the house post Office committee at
hearing next Tuesday.
The committee will consider reso-
luton, introduced by Representative
Madden of Illinois, which requests the
postmaster general to report the
amount of insurance collected on par
Gel post packages since the Inaugural
ton of the service, the number of
claims made for losses the number of
claims adjusted and the amounts in
volved, the number of claims pending
and the average period required in the
settlement of claims.
Complaints lodged with the commit
tee against the service include care
lessness in delivery, rough handling
and general incompetency, members
said. 1t is charged that day-old chicks
are delayed in delivery and die of
thirst and hunger. Crates of live chick
ems are sent through the parcels post
mails without drink or food it is
charged. A live calf is reported to
have been accepted for parcels post
delivery. Meats, eggs and perishable
fruits and vegetables have been de-
layed in delivery, complaints state, I'M
til they have spoiled, and the total
claims for losses on these accounts
have mounted high.
