ADVICES- ARE QUESTIONED

BRUSSELS, Jan. 0-Travelers from
Germany reaching here today brought
unconfirmed reports that the German
government has been ovcrthrown.
1t was reported that the socialists
were masters of the situation and
that a general strike had been declar
ed throughout the territory not under
allied occupation.
FL. REPORT NOT CONFIRMED
Tho Brussels reports of Il German
government overthrow are not con
firmcd from any other sources and it
may be noted that the dispatches
themselves carry their own Gualilica-
ton emphasizing the lack of positive
information. ~
If It should prove true that there
has been a new uprising in Germany
it would appear to have been lc'ibnr'
ately timed to coincide with the date
set for putting the treaty Of Versailles
into effect and creating Il state OF
peace between Germany and the al
lied powers. a.1..
Dispatches "a Hours Oh Way
News dispatches from Germany are
ordinarily at least "a hours in reach
ing this country and the latest mes
sages from Berlin received Friday for
Thursdays date. These messages in
dicated some unscttlemcnt in labor
conditions, particularly in the vicinity
of Essen and in the Ruhr industrial
basin, but the unrest reported did not
appear to be Of unusual significance.
- The Independent socialists have
been the disturbing factor in the Ger
man internal situation. Since the de-
feat Of the Spartacan outbreak last
spring they have been threatening a
renewed effort to take control Of af-
fairs. Prominent officials have been
quoted as declaring their belief that
la revolutionary arising might have to
be faced during the present winter,
but expressing confidence that the
government would be able to deal with
them.
The present German government is
la coalition one with a strong represen-
tation of the majority socialists. The
present premier, Gustave Bauer, is a
| socialist. as is also Frederick Ebert,
the president.

Pyle local agent of the Standard Oil Company of Louisiana this after moon received a telegram announcing Ia cut of one cent per gallon in the price of gasoline sold by this company.

Month for Veterans While TAX }.
ING Training.

~ Another important victory In the
American Legion's long fight for bene.
fetal legislation In behalf Of sick and
disabled ex-service men is revealed In
a telegram announcing passage Of the
bill. recently received at Legion ma.
tional headquarters from Thomas w,
Miller, chairman Of the organizations
national legislative committee in
Washington. (,
The senate In a night session, &C.
cording to the message, passed the
measure as rider to the deficiency
appropriation bill, and as 1t previously
had been passed by the house, it now
awaits only the signature Of the presi-
dent to become law. *
The barrow bill increases, by $40 a
month, the amount of money paid to
disabled veterans Of the world war
while taking training under the direc-
ton of the federal board of vocational
education. Ell
This is the second time the Legion
has obtained an increase for the
manned heroes, having pushed through
congress, last December, the Sweet
bill, which raised the amount OF com.
pensation for them from $50 to $50
a month.
'The passage Of the barrow BILL"
said Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant
Of the Legion, "was largely due to the
work done by Legionnaires who visited
Washington in it's interest. General
published reports at that time indi-
Gated that the Legion representatives
confined their activities solely to the
pending fourfold optional compensa-
ton bill. Results show that the needs
Of the disabled men always have stood
first on the Legion's program and the
organization is going right on working
for these unfortunates, irrespective OF
what congress may or may not see ut
to do with the problems Of 'ex-servfce
men as whole.
'"The passage Of the barrow bill will
give great impetus to the Legion's CO.
operative plan to assist the federal
board in getting every eligible disabled
man into training at once, as many
had refrained from taking training be-
cause of the Inadequate compensation
heretofore allowed" s @~

WILSON'S FIRST TERM

a FTER Woodrow Wilson had been
"A teaching in the classroom for a
quarter Of a century that the presi-
dent ought to be more like prime
minister, trying to cooperate with
other human beings" than "a mere
department hailing congress
from some isolated island Of author
ity," the opportunity came to him to
put his theory in practice. When con-
gress met in extra session month
after his Inauguration he walked in
and delivered his message in person,
reviving q custom which Jefferson had
stopped only because he happened to
have a poor voice and was an awk-
ward speaker.
President Wilson adopted the atti-
tude of sort of member at large Of
both houses, sauntering unheralded
into the seldom-used presidents room,
which adjoins the senate chamber,
whenever he had any special business,
and talking things over in the open.
The president succeeded not by
arousing a personal loyalty to himself
but by the force of his ideas. II have
had a majority on the floor, but" he
admitted, "never a majority in the
cloakroom."
Here are the outstanding items in
the peace record of the Wilson ad-
ministration: Tariff revision, the first
income tax, the federal reserve act,
the federal trade commission, the
Clayton trust law, 80 arbitration trea-
ties, the seaman's act, the farm loan,

ran poor second to Champ Clark In
the popular primaries Of 1912. He was
nominated at Baltimore only after *
ballots, and then only as result Of

And he was elected by the division Of
the Republicans between Roosevelt ant

Woodrow Wilson nor

AIEITHER Woodrow Wilson nor
~ his administration has yet pass
ed into history, whose judgment on
them it would be folly to try to fore
tell. Nevertheless, much of the record
of the presidency is made up and
closed, and may be summarized at
least, although it is perhaps foolhardy
to venture into the flames Of passions
that blind men alike to the merits and
dement's of almost every president
while he remains the central figure Of
partisan strife. "A statesman is q
politician who is Dead" said Thomas
B. Reed.
In this age of ours, when men are
going to school to learn business and
farming and all manner Of vocations,
it was natural that there should appear
in the White House man like Wood
row Wilson, who had learned politics
in the classroom rather than In the
wardroom. The eighth of our Virginia
