WILSON TOOL OF
MAsoNs TEUToN SAYS.

Berlin-Count Revent1ow attacks
President Wilson and Leon Bour-
geois, winners of the Nobel peace
prizes, and the Freemasons in an ar
ticle printed today entitled, "The
Nobel Prize and F'reemasonry."
Reventlow, who is known as fire
eater, military critic and a friend
of the Hohenzollerns, alleges there is
a conspiracy on the part of the Free
masons to rule the world.
president Wilson has never done
anything for peace" Reventlow
writes. "He could have shortened
the war in 1916, but he had already
pledged himself to follow England's
policies.
Wilson's peace plans followed the
Freemasons' International plan. Ger
many had become chaotic republic
instead of the former strong mon
archy, which was a stumbling block
for the worlds Freemasonry.
"In 1915 the American Freemason
magazine declared that Freemasonry
was pledged against kings and junk
ers. Mr. Wilson was the conscious
instrument of the Freemasons. Thru
out the war and peace conferences
Mr.. Wilson carried out the aims and
spirit of the Freemasons and the
Jewish organizations.
"If Germany had not trusted Will
son like a child the war would not
have been lost and Germany today
would have been monarchy.
"The Norwegian parliament gave
the prize to two Freemasons because
Freemasons influence parliament
when monarchies are no longer
strong. Freemason's led Norway's
separation from Sweden. M. Bour-
geois is the leader and agent Of a
secret Zionist society in Paris. s."-Chi-
cago Tribune.
The politicians view with alarm the
report that the new president is 60
ing to try to give the country busi-
ness administration.
Among the people who are COM
planning about unemployment, are
those that want s1-50 an hour for their
valuable services.
It's an awful surprise to an editor
to learn by the statistics that there
are only 1868 authors" in this coun-
try. BY the number of manuscripts
submitted to him he thought there
were about 4,36S,000.
A lot of people are willing to go in
for community work, provided they
are paid $500 an hour for their time.
Unfortunately no girl has yet been
able to make up for the lack Of stuff
inside her head, by putting two in
ches of sole leather into her high heels
The disarmament movement has
not yet struck those girls that are
distributing their killing looks.
The president elect is consulting
with the "best minds' but the politi-
cal bosses think the best minds are
those that mind best.

The Navy Department was able to
buy coal at less than $3.50 per ton at
a time when the general public was
paying more than three times that
figure, and while the Department of
Justice was apparently unable to lind
anything materially wrong with the
fuel situation. The Wilson administra-
tion has never let it's right hand know
what its left hand was doing.

Oyster Tells Member of Con-

II the police court would cooperate
with the police department In put
ting stiff fines on traffic law viola
tors and do away with the practice
OF giving mild sentences. traffic con-
ditions would be much better in
Washington.
This statement was made yester-
day by Commissioner James f. Oys-
ter in a letter TO member Of Con-
gress who had complained about trsf-
nc enforcement.
II Congress would enact legislation
that would give Washington a traf-
nc court II would help a great deal
the commissioners said in his letter
because under the present conditions
policemen who make the traffic vio-
latiop arrests have to spend about
half OF the next day in court prose-
cutting the offenders.
The member, OF Congress made COM
plant that he did not believe that the
traffic laws were being enforced as
they should be. In reply, the Com
missioner gave him a report OF the
number of traffic arrests made during
the months OF May and June. In May
the number Of traffic arrests in the
District were 2,21S, while in June the
number of arrests were 2,4S9. an in
crease of 27o over the preceding
months.
The mild sentences meted out 20
violators OF the traffic laws by the
Police Court does not lend much en-
couragement to the policemen who

said. The force is now short men and
