GERMANS WILL
GET PROPERTY
BACK FROM u. S.
Holdis,gs Seized in
War Period To Be
Returned.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, March Is. - The
early return to their rightful own
ers of vast amounts Of German
property held in the United States
appears to be in prospect. Con-
gressional action is necessary be-
fore the transfer can be. made but
the trend of opinion in the Harding
administration is toward giving
back what was seized as q war
measure.
Meanwhile the policy of the new
alien property custodian, Colonel
Thomas w. Miller, as explained to
the writer today, is to settle up as
quickly as possible all questions
for which authority is vested in
him under existing laws.
There are some enemy insur-
ance companies" he said, which
will probably have to be operated
by us for some years to come but
most OF these companies can be
liquidated at once and the proceeds
returned to the German owners. 1t
Is unlikely that they would wish to
operate as German concerns again
anyway"
Colonel Miller was drafted for
the job Of alien property custodian
by President Harding because of
his remarkable executive ability.
He won his military rank overseas,
having enlisted as a private and
working up to the staff of General
Kuhn of the 10Th division. Pres
ident Harding felt that in appoint
ing Colonel Miller, who has been
active in the affairs of the Amer
ican Legion there could be no sus-
picion of pro-German leanings in
any Of his decisions.
Anybody who talks with Colonel
Miller on the subject of enemy
property, however, will find that he
believes the time is ripe to give
back to the German owners the
property that was taken from
them. He is loath to criticize his
predecessors in the alien property
custodian's office but he has al
ready instituted some sweeping
changes.
Dig Lswyer EeeA -.5sx.
The new alien property custod-
ian has found. for instance, large
lawyers fees charged to the yearly
proceeds Of certain companies now
held by American trustees and has
made up his mind that all excessive
charges shall be reduced whether
Republican or Democrat law firms
are involved. Colonel Miller be-
lieves that it is the American spirit
to be fair to individuals even
though they be Germans.
Already there has been many

Berlin, March 5s.-By United
ss.)-Cha5ges that the German
government deliberately forced the
present revolution were made by
the communists here today.
Through their spokesmen they
declared the Ebert regime had two
main objects in view-crushing of
the workers preparatory to throw
ing the entire reparations burden
upon them and demonstrating to
the entente that retention of arms
Is necessary to overcome proletar-
ian outbursts.
The government countered with
q charge that the communists
sought to instigate a revolution at
a time the authorities were occu-
pied with the Poles and the repar-
atoms question, hoping it would
spread throughout Germany and
enable them to overthrow the pres
ent administration. It was predict
ed that the uprisings would be
crushed by tomorrow.

their versions of the present situa-
tion Is follows:

ers with the purpose of throwing
the entire burdens of the repara-
tons upon them.
The fight was not provoked BY
the communists, nor was it com
manded by Moscow. It was caused
by the government dispatching
strong forces Of police into the in
dustrial districts to break up the
revolutionary committee of action,
which the workers had elected in
place Of the shop stewards. These
committees have conducted the only
successful strikes in Germany re-
cently-those in Mannsfeld and
Leuna-and the bourgeoisie there
fore considers them the backbone
Of the revolutionary movement and
direct an attack against them.
This explains the spontaneous up
rising OF the entire proletArian.
The unexpected resistance of the
Bavarian government and police to
disarmament impelled the German
government to create new incidents
which are intended to prove to the
entente that armament Of these re-
acti0naries is necessary to put
down workers uprisings.
The recovery of ruined and I'm
poverished Germany can be accom-
plished only by replacing the pres
ent dictature Of SHINES and other
war pronteers and grafters Of the
officer caste with the dictature of
the productive proletariat.

Splendid congregations and fine
interest marked the first Sunday of
the GO To Church Campaign" at the
Baptist church.
At IL O'Clock Pastor Butler spoke
on "Blackfoot at the Cross Roads,"
His text was Prov. 4:18,19, also
Mat. z: 13. IN part he said:
The world has often stood at the
crossroads, where the path of self in
terest seemed to be at cross purposes
with the path and plan of God. Run
ming thru the ages these two roads
seem to cross and recross and in
one way or another multiply them
selves in the lives and almost in the
daily experiences of nations, NUM-
cipalities and individuals. The ex-
istence and boundaries of these two
roads which cross and recross are
marked by the consciousness on the
part of man of being in the presence
of new opportunity, for advance,
or another chance attain, or a re-
newed privilege to cooperate with
the infinite in his beneficent work
for the uplift of humanity.

could give, the most precious thing
they had, they freely gave.
This Sunday is also designated
as Red Cross Sunday, as it comes
during the season of the fifth annual
drive for members. I can think of
no better way of honoring our hero
dead than by giving our support to
the Red Cross, as memorial to
those who made the supreme shcri-
flee. I am sure that If the soldiers
who made the sacrifice could speak,
there would be but one great voice
from the army of the dead, urging us
to do our duty by the Red Cross, to
help and encourage this great or
ganization, whose sole purpose is to
alleviate suffering thruout the
world"
Mr.. Stringfellow closed his sermon
with a beautiful poem in honor of
our soldier dead, entitled 1.-THE
