GERMAN REVOLUTION A FAILURE.

The recent revolution in Germany
headed by DR.. Wolfgang Kapp,
seems to have died a-borning. DR..
kapp who for the space of four
days styled himself Chancellor, has
resigned, President Ebert is back
in Berlin where quiet has been re-
stored. For the first time in Ger
man history the political factions
Of the country have come together
OH q common sense basis. We
have witnessed miracle of de-
mocracy. The new Government
has capitulated and the old Govern
ment has accepted the stringent
conditions.
The Junkcr or MilitariStic faction
in Germany find but little comfort
in this so-called revolution. There
are yet disturbances in other parts
of Germany but they do moi appear
to have grown out OF this rcvOlu-
ton. &.

U. S. SENATOR HEWBERRY CONVICTED.

After trial lasting six or eight
weeks Truman II. Newbcrry. Re
publican. and junior United States
Senator from Michigan. was found
guilty by the jury in The Federal
Court ut Grand Rapids last Satur-
day. the Goth, of conspiring to vio-
late the elections laws of the coun-
try in the November election of
1918.
Truman Fl. Ncwbcrry, junior
United States Senator from Michi-
gan, was convicted by jury of hav-
ing conspircd criminally in 1913 to
violate tho elections. Hc was sent
cnced by Judge Clarence W. Ses-
sions to two years Imprisonment
and fined $4,000, released OH bond
pending an appeal, and at once is
sued Il statement declaring his in
tention TO retain his seat in the
upper house unless shat body de-
cides otherwise, Or the Supreme
Court upholds his conviction.
Sharing the fate of the senator
were his brother, John S. Ncwbcrry,
and 10 campaign managers. includ-
ing Frederick Cody. New York and
Paul ii. King. Detroit. Both these
men received the limit sentence
with their chief.
ChdS y. Floyd. Detroit. was sen
fenced to two years i'll the pcnitcn-
tiarH, but he was fined only half
as much as Ncwbcrry. The BROTH
cr was fined $4,000 and was one
OF four who were not sentenced to
Lcavcnworth. The lightcSt sentence
went to George S. Ladd, of Stur-
bridge. Mass, and he was fined
81 900.
This result of The long trial will
no doubt be highly gratifying 10
Hcnry Ford who always maintain
ed that Ncwbcrry defeated him for
the Senate in The 1913 election by
The unlawful use of money.

RUSSIA READY FOR PEACE.

There can be no doubt that Boil
shevist Russia is eager TO make
peace on any terms that will enable
the Lcninc-Tr9tzky dictatorship to
save its face at home.
Leninc said as much to Lincoln
Eyre, The Worlds correspondent,
in the interview published recently:
All the world knows that we are
prepared to make peace on terms
thc fairness Of which even the most
imperialisti;. capitalists could not
dispute TrOtZky in the interview
printed. frankly recognizes "our
need for outside aid in setting this
country on its feet" and declares
that foreign capitalists who invest
their money in Russian enterprises
or who supply us with merchandise
we require will receive material
guarantees of amply adequate char
actcr."-
Plainly" enough. the Russian en-
pertinent with Communism under
a dictatorship of the prolctara is
entering upon a new phase. Plain
ly enough too, the Allies have enter
ed upon Il new phase in their rcla-
tons with Russia. When the SUI
premc Council announced in Lon
don that there would be no dealing
with Soviet Russia until the Allied
Governments 'have arrived at the
conviction that the Bolshcvist hor-
rors have come TO an end" the Al
lies built q bridge for themselves
into Moscow.
The Supreme Council is well a.
ware that. whatever the reasons NAV
be, the reign of terror in Russia is
practically over. Bolshcvism is
finished with its debauch of blood
in the territory subject to its author
ilN. Having established itself DO
lltlcally, it is now trying 10 estab-
lish Hsclf economically. Its armies
have been uniformly successful on
every front. It's diplomacy has
been extraordinarily adroii. What
even any Of us may think of Bolshcv-
ism, 1t has maintained itself by
brains~as well as by force of arms.
That must be admitted.
. Having established itself i'm Rus
sia, Bolshevism now finds that il
can neither conquer the rest of the
world nor ignore the rest of the
world. 1t cannot be Il law unto
itself

Concert by Mrs. weygandt

One of the musical events of the
| season promises to be the song re-
cital of Florence Weygandt, to be Civ
en- in st. Andrews Hall, this friday
evening.
Mrs. Weygandt has appeared sever
al times before local audiences and
has made a most favorable impression
by her artistic rendering combined
with fine technical accomplishment.
The following press comment will
give an idea of her reception in other
places.
GAINESVILLE, (Ga.,) Herald-The
marked interest and appreciation
manifested by the audience was in
every way deserved. Mrs. Weygandt
is the fortunate possessor of a flexi-
BILE soprano voice remarkable for
clearity of tone and purity of produc-
ton, and this possession she used
wisely and well throughout her selec-
tions.
Atlanta, (Ga.,) Journal Wey-
gandt's mezzo-soprano is especially
fitted for concers work. Her tones
are rich and free and smooth. A per-
feet understanding and Interpretation
of the composers themes mark her
rendition of the various numbers.
West Chester, (Pa,) Local News
Mrs. Weygandt was greeted with
hearty applause and enthusiasm
throughout the evening. She was at
her best perhaps in "The Cry of Ra-
chael' which was most beautifully
ard feelingly rendered, although it
would be hard to say which numbers
were sung the best.
The accompanist for the occasion
will be Mrs. Marie Paxson, graduate
of the New England Conservation of
Music, who is prominently identified
with musical interest in this locality.

came across a penciled note, indicat-

ELECTION OF COMMISSIONERS

AS the result of Tuesdays election
for Lambertville city commissioners
the following candidates were elected
Edward j. Moonan of the First Ward
Andrew Foitz, of the Third Ward, ano
A. Wilson Muirhead, of the Second
Ward.
Mayor Theodore Balderston and
City Treasurer Samuel w. Cochran
were defeated for reelection, Street
Commissioner Foltz being the only
one of the old members who won out
Only about three-fourths of the vo-
tiers of the city turned out at the
polls, and the second and third choices
settled the election, and in the case Of
Mr.. Muirhead one fourth choice vote
gave him the advantage over Joseph
w. Cooper, who was but single vote
behind.
Mr.. Moonan ran high in his home
district, the First Ward, polling 202
votes, with Muirhead second, 81, and
Cooper third, with 65. In the Third
Ward, his home, Mr.. Foltz polled 245
votes to Moonan 1879.
The total vote for the city was 845,
with Edward J. Moonan ACT on first,
second and third choice; Andrew
Foltz, 440 on all choices; A. Wilson
Muirhead, 1924; Joseph W. Cooper,
1928; Theodore Balderston, 289; Sam
uel w. Cochran, 286; Walter F. Hay
hurst, 231; Augutus Blackwell, 1914.
On first choice ballots alone Moonan
lead with Alt votes; Foltz 800; Bald
erston, ga; Cooper, 229; Cochran,
222; Muirhead, 211; Hayhurst, 156;
Blackwell, 1903. Foltz was high man
in each of the three precincts outside
of the First Ward.
The new commission will meet next
Tuesday for organization, and it is
probable that Mr.. Moonan, being high
man, will be elected mayor, especially
as Mr.. Foltz, the next in line declined
the office in November, 1916, when the
present commission came into office,
it being though at the time that his
lengthy experience in the old city
council entitled him to that position
rather than DIR. Balderston, who
while high man, had never before
taken an official part in municipal
affairs.
The commissioners have the power
to appoint men to fill these various
offices, if they so desire, but the pre-
sent board filled the places themselves
to save expense.
