ing the War.
London, March Liberia is said
to have been the only state at war
with Germany which expelled every
German from within it's gates and Sc
questrated all their property.
Before the war there were about 300
German citizens in Monrovia, the CAPT.
tai, and Liberia was rapidly becoming
German protectorate, says Alan
Bourchier Lethbridge, in the Daily
Telegraph. The Germans, he adds,
controlled giant wireless plant and
evidently had made arrangements to
use Liberia as a link in the chain of
colonial possessions.

was held the week following the ma
tional American Woman Suffrage

How old are the Democratic
and Republican parties, respective

The Democrats claim that the
Democratic party began with JEFF
ferson in 1904 and is 116 years old,
but others fix its origin in Jackson's S
administration, which would make it
about rs years old.
The Republicans claim that their
party dates back to the days of Ham
