Abroad, particularly in Switzer-
'and' the German espionage organiza-
lions were transformed into revolu-
tlonary agencies. The German and
Austro-Hungarian legations at Berne
have retained nearly the whole of their
former stats. The former Austrian
Minister, Count Berchtold proved
himself optimistic enough to admit his
belief in the possibility of the restora-
ton of the monarchy"
AS far as the armistice is concarnoa
the Germans will carry out the condi-
lions just as far as it suits their inter-
ests--that is to say, as far as it is nee
essary to convince the Allies that now the
war is over they also can demobilize
They arranged matters in such way as
to enable themselves to gain time and
preserve their means of action. They
undertook, for instance ON November II
to hand over 5000 locomotives, but down
to January 8 they had surrendered only
1867; out of 10000 cars they had given
up only 1850
The further rehabilitation of the Ger
man army is being carried out in such
manner that the Allies will do we'll to
watch the operation very closely, for
Hindenburg is making a practice of Sc
lecting from among the demobilized men
troops for the purpose of immediately
constituting another army on fresh
basis.
Certainly the Germans do not calcu
late upon rewinning the war by renew
ing attacks on the Western front, as
that is materially impossible. But as
they do not regard themselves definitely
beaten, they hope by taking action in the
East in some entirely new form to bring
about notification Of the Allied victory.

merely the conditions under which hos
tilities were brought to a cessation. They
are not the conditions of peace The ar
m1stlce certainly was the beginning of
the end, but does not, itself, constitute
the end. The fact that people declared
the day the armistice was signed "the
war is over; we can demobilize," is one
of the greatest gravity, for it has given
the Allied troops the very natural hope,
even the desire, for immediate liberia
ton, after their extraordinary devotion
and long suffering. 1t is impossible.
however, from the practical point or
view, to satisfy such hopes fully with
out running the risk of catastrophe
which would deprive the Allies of the
means of imposing peace conditions upon
the Germans, especially those insuring
reparation, without which there would
be no victory
Let us look at things as they are. The
armlstlce conferred an enormous advan-
tage having brought the great military
operations and the sacrifices of human
lives to an end. The combination of all
the clauses Of the armistice with Aus
tria-Hungary and Germany has given
the Allies full power to bring about
really victorious, durable, reparativc
peace, but we must first firmly convince
ourselves of the idea that unless the
Allies utilize to the full the whole means
placed in their hands by the conditions
OF the armlstice and do not fall into the
mistake of employing these means badly
the fruits of the victory for the Entente
powers not only will slip out of their
hands, but may be even transformed.

Peril of Quick
Decentralization

when we find ourselves in the
presence of Germans whose hypocrisy
and treachery do not need demonstra-

for all possible guarantees. The German
people will only recognize force. 1t is
therefore absolutely necessary for the

Let US suppose that the German Boi-

sacrifice in men and money on the part
of the United States would have been

of writing for The Tribune
In order to protect itself from the
Bolshevik plague the United States has
only to follow treatment similar to that

In conclusion, il this slight but in

United States will have the greatest pos

the Bolshevik plague. On the other
hand, if the effort is not made the
German plan will become an accom-
plished fact and the United States. after
falling prey to the terrible effects of
Bolshevism, will, in addition, find itself
faced by a pan-German Europe, which
will have been the final result of the

subtle distinctions between sovietism and

Two Kinds of
BOISHeviSf

Inc power of Lenine aud TrotZky is
really based upon the terror and the
weakness of the people, for in the opin-
ion of all impartial observers returned
from Russia the Boshevists constitute
only an infintesimal minority Of the pop
ulation.
But" it may be asked, chow does it
happen, if that is the case, that the Boil
shevists have not been driven out of the
country long ago."
The explanation of this apparent
anomaly is simple In the first place,
the Bolshevist leaders, under the inspir-
alton of their German masters, murder
or imprson all persons belonging to the
middle and intellectual classes who
might be able to organize against them.
This done, the Russian Bolshevists deal
merely with the great mass Of the public
who, generally speaking, detest the
frightful tyranny of which they are the
victims, but are practically unable ef-
fectivcly to revolt unless the Allies pro-
vide them with fresh leaders to take the
places Of those Of whom the Bolshevist
assassins have deprived them.

WA,, WOMEN TO .
PAY FOR THEIR FUN
Working Men Have Struck Against
Paying Entrance Fees Into Dances
and Refreshments for Women
Partners At Dances.
Associated Press

STETTIN, Germany, Oct. 29-The
workers of Stettin and suburbs have
struck against paying all the entrance
fees into dances, and the refresh
ments,. for their girl or woman part
ners at dances. Women, they assert,
are now earning abe 1t as much as
men, and should bear then share.
They positively will not dance with
any woman who does not pay her own
way. The ultimatum was published
in Stettin paper, and reads:
'The dancing ladies' world should
pay for itself. The Revolution brought
the same rights for man and woman
AS a result we demand that the
young people Of Stettin no longer tc
pay for the ladies. Why should we
male workers who have to earn
money with our hands dance away
or 4 marks, perhaps bottle of wine
and other things, in order to show
ourselves as cavaliers to ladies?
eff the ladies are willing to amuse
themselves with US Sunday afternoon
then they should bear the expense II
equal shares since we earn our money
by the sweat of our brows? There
fore, open your pocketbook, or remair
home"
The appeal is signed by "man!
young Stettin people, which have &C
quired good sense"

WANT RADICAL
REFORMS IN JAPAN
Reconstruction Alliance Organized
To Ask That Universal Suffrage
Law Be Passed Next Session.

TOXIC. Oct. 29-Jananese news
paper men recently returned from
Paris, politicians, labor leaders and
business men have just organized a
reform association known as the "Re-
construction Alliance" with the object
of carrying out radical reforms in
Japan in consonance with the age, and
especially with the object of having
a universal suffrage law passed at
the next session of the Diet.
The program also includes aholi
ton of all class distinctions, abolition
of bureaucratic diplomacy, establi-
shment of a democratic political sys-
tenn, public recognition of labor or
ganizations, reform of the tax sys-
TEN, "purification" of the Imperial
household department, and absolute
freedom of speech and of the press.
Speakers basing their remarks or
impressions gained at Paris, dwei1
upon the backwardness of Japan as
compared with other leading coun
tries.
The suffrage resolution, adopted
unanimously, was supported by three
of the younger members of the Die
who were present. One of them
Representative Uyehara said:
Japan is constitutional countr,
in name but not in reality. Until tn
people realize that the country be
longs to them there can be no sue
thing as a true constitutional coun
try. While other nations are devot
ing themselves to social reforms ia
pan has still to settle the question G
universal suffrage which other cour
tries disposed of long ago."
