Washington, D. c., Jan. 1o.-Such
a night! Twelve speeches, eight
hours Of banqueting, no booze, very
little eating. mostly speaking,
mostly condemning of the other
party and boasting Of the achieve
ments Of their own party. full of
challenges; plenty Of militancy ard
a free-for-all sort Of an expression
on what the issues should be-ell
this until long after 2 o'clock in the
morning with more than 1000 din
ers filling the big banquet rooms
Of two big hotels, cheering, cuthus-
ing and demonstrating, just as If 1t
were the national convention Of the
party already assembled. This was
the Jackson day celebration by the
Democratic party-unique in the
political history of America.
Touch All Angles.
There were speeches made by
Democrats-as for instance Gov
ernor Cornwell Of West Virginia
which might just as well have been
made at a Republican banquet. He
criticized the administration for the
Adamson act, warned against So
cialism and the federation of any
labor autocracy and spoke the con-
servative thought of middle west
ern Democracy. There were
speeches like that of Attorney
General Palmer. which gave gen.
erous praise to the Republicans for
their support of the war and at the
same time ridiculed the reward"
Of $4,000 offered by Chairman
Hays for a Republican platform.
Indeed the attorney general smil-
ingly said he would enter the con-
test and read amid laughter a pro-
posed Republican program which
would undo everything the Demo-
Gratis had done in the last seven
years, Including the federal reserve
act, the farm loan board and many
other measures which the Demo-
Gratis hold sacred. If he won the
prize, Mr.. Palmer said he would re-
turn the money to the Republicans
as they might need it to get votes
in Michigan"
Foreign Policy First.
But while domestic issues
brought out a wide range Of opin-
ion-from Ambassador Gerard, who
said labor unions had come to stay
and had emancipated workers from
industrial slavery, to William Jen-
nings Bryan, who said it was easy
for those present to pay Sc plate
to come to a banquet but the toiler
wasn't getting the full share Of his
work and should have more money
to meet the cost OF livtng-there
was in the background and the
foreground the paramount ques-
tion of foreign policy-the ratitica-
tion of the peace treaty and League
of Nations.
President Wilson's letter had the
unquestioned approval of most of
the speakers at both banquets. Sen
ator Underwood acclaimed it; Sen
ator Hitchcock praised it. Speaker
after speaker paid tribute to Wood
row Wilson's national and interna-
tional leadership. Along came
Brother Byran in the wee hours Of
the morning with a discordant note.
Blu: he got good reception. He
put in practical form the question
of postponing action on the treaty
till after the next election. He said
it would take II months to install

Berlin, Friday, Jan. 9.-The sit
uation created by the railroad
strike became worse yesterday,
especially in the Ruhr district,
where there were additions to the
ranks of the strikers.
The committee Of social demo-
cratic railwaymen here charge the
communists with responsibility for
the strike, alleging that while it is
ostensibly an economic movement,
it is III reality a political measure
intended to accomplish the introduc-
ton of an industrial council sys-
tenn on the communist plan.
Coal Scarce.
The Independent socialists and
communists are held to be respon-
sible for further walkouts in the
Essen, Elberfeld and Munster dis
tricts. In the Ruhr districts it was
impossible to move even emergency
food trains. At Dusseldorf a shut
down Of gas and electricity is
threatened owing to the lack. OF
coal and at Dresden the railway
men have presented new demands
to the government.
Insurance Clerks Quit.
At Dortmund a secret strike vote
has resulted overwhelmingly in the
affirmative. Ten thousand Berlin
insurance clerks struck yesterday
representing Is companies. The
employers claim that the walkout
is not complete. The Magdeburg,
Frankfort Main, Potsdam, Stutt-
CART and Dresden clerks are expect
ed to join in the strike. Labor min
istry mediators are arranging for
negotiations with the clerks.
London, Jan. 10.-In connection
with the unconfirmed reports from
Brussels, OF a German government
overthrow, messages from Berlin
by way of Copenhagen, received
this morning, did not indicate that
anything of an extraordinary ma
ture had been foreseen in Germany
up to late last evening.

Not Confirmed.

The Brussels reports of Ger
man governmental overthrow are
not confirmed from any other
source and it may be noted that the
dispatches themselves carry their
own qualifications, emphasizing the
lack Of positive information. II it
should prove true that there has
been a new uprising in Germany
it would appear to have been de-
liberateIy timed to coincide with the
date set for putting the treaty Of
Versailles into effect and creating
a state of peace between Germany
and the allied powers.
Dispatches "a Hours Late.
News dispatches from Germany
are ordinarily at least "a hours late
in reaching this country and the
latest message from Berlin received
Friday, bore Thursdays date. These
messages indicated some unsettle-
ment in labor conditions, particu-
larly in the vicinity Of Essen and
in the Ruhr industrial basin, but
the rest reported did not appear to
be of unusual significance
The Independent socialists have
been the disturbing factor in the
German internal situation Since
the defeat of the Spartacan out
break last spring, they have been
threatening a renewed effort to take
control of affairs. The Attempts to
create troubles in various sections
of the country have invariably been
put down by the forces of Minister
of Defense Noska. Prominent Ger
man officials, however, have been
quoted as declaring their belief
that revolutionary risings might
have to be faced during the present
winter.
Is Coalition Government.
The present government is a
coalition one, with strong repre-
sentation of the majority socialists
The present premier, Gustav Bauer
Is q socialist, as also is Frederick
Ebert, the president.
