Minneapols.-At a mass meeting
of unemployed, arranged by ex-service
men, scathing resolutions were adopt
ed against business interests that ap-
plauded the boys in khaki three years
ago and now show no interest in their
distress.
A program to relieve the unemploy-
ed was agreed to and in urging its
adoption by state, county and city
officials, the meeting declared:
Eve do moi forget that those who,
bandit like, enriched themselves dur
ing the war, did not hesitate to join
our friends in singing, Keep the Home
Fires Burning, and that these same
profiteers who sang so Justify while
we fought, are today under the slogan
Of the non-union or open shop, band
ed together for the purpose of putting
out the fires of veterans and workers
who assert their liberty and right to
organize for their own protection.
Through artificial unemployment they
seek to make the hearthstones of the
workers cold and their children hun
CRY.
"We fought to make the world real
ly safe for democracy. We fought
not only to end the reign of the tyrant
of Prussia, but to terminate the era
of industrial kings and kaisers here at
home
Work or fight was the order
sent to US three years ago and we
fought and worked. Today we are
jobless, while those who sat on the
soft cushions bask in the sunshine of
California and Florida enjoying the
luxuries wrung from the blood of our
comrades and our sacrifices"

No sealed stone meets their gaze.
The door is open. anyone is free
The empty tomb to see.
Seeing they have no Roman guard to

The three draw near.
And they behold, by the increasing light,
An angel all in white.

TOKYO. Jan. 23.-Your correspOn-

can informant, whose reliability is
unquestionable, details of.the shoot
ing of Lieut.. w. H. Langdon at

the falsity of the japanese and 9TH

consistent effort to besmirch
Lieut.. Langdon's character.
Langdon was returning to his
ship on the night Of January s
from a party at the house of Rus
sian friends who were celebrating
the Russian Christmas according
TO the orthodox calendar. Russian
festivities disregard the flight OF
time and there was nothing Un-
usual about the party breaking up

a Russian woman who later stated
that she and Langdon were en-

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-Germany is
again in the throes of revolutionary

A sensational document just pub

the communists, and allegedly by
ELudendorff. Escherick and Revent-
low, has been declared officially to
be a fraud. The document went
into minute details OF a counter revo.
luton plan, and ordering among
other things that the general strike
be suppressed by prompt shooting
OF the strikers.
DR.. Weismann, Prussian state
commissioner for public order and
security. insisted, however, today,
that the discovery by his secret
service that the red army in the
Ruhr coal district with ramifcations
all over North Germany, including
Berlin, was no scare, but grim
reality. He asserted that he had
evidence that Moscow is working
under high pressure to overthrow
