said wages were only within so per
cent of the cost of living. 1t pro-
claimed that the real enemies of the
workers were the capitalists, the lead
ers Of the old political parties, and
the foolish sheep who allowed them
selves to be led to the slaughter.
On the extreme right and more
dangerous are the Kaiserists. They
have their newspapers and their pam
phleteers. They point out Germany's
sad plight and then they bark back
to the good old days under the
kaiser.
In some sections of Germany, re-
cent elections have shown an increase
IN the voices for the Monarchist party.
While the Communists dream of a
red revolution which will make Ger
many Bolshevik, the Monarchists plan
for another ''putsch" which will once
more put them in the saddle.
My own judgment is that there is
more danger from the Monarchists
than from the Communists.

private investigation of movie folk al

Hays told the United Press that his

He said he had found there was very

neither Mr.. Whitney nor his hired man

Of mysterious origin in that vicinity,
and in some instances the fires have de-

a few miles away, there was severe
fire less only Il few weeks ago. Suspic-
ion is not directed at any person in par

and after that strenuous work was put
in for about two hours before the trou-
bic was over, and the danger of losing
the mill was averted.
The cause of the fire, which original
ed in the third floor, is not definitely
known but it came from tine inside and
there are numerous theories advanced
in regard to the origin The roof Of the
wing is completely destroyed, and will
have to be replaced by new roof, and
the betting in the interior was damaged
by the water also making it impossible
to run for the present. The water
caused considerable damage in the inte
rior, and, although the stock did not
suffer to any great extent, the flooring
was damaged somewha. by the water.
Ii is understood that the damage is
covered by insurance, but there will be
the delay caused by the general dis
turbance in the building. which cannot
be made right until the insurance is ad-
justed.
The building was purchased from the
Emerson company by l.. w. Webster
in 1919. and soon after was sold 70 a
corporation, and since that time has
been conducted as such, with Mr. Web
ster for general superintendent and
manager 1t is a large plant. and if it
had been destroyed, il is doubtful if it
would have been rebuilt at the present
price Of building material II is thought
that in case the fire had extended
through the building, that the sugar
market and other buildings nearby
would have also been in great danger.
