R
REPUBLIC AMID CRIES OF TREASON
I
LONDON. —Then* was stormy
scenes in the reichstag recently, ac
ording to a Reuter dispatch trom Am
tedam, when socialist deputies fore
shadowed the establishment of a re
public and demanded that the reich
stag have larger powers in the for
oign policy.
Dr. Edward David, the socialist
leader, is quoted by the Cologne
(•ar.ette as saying:
• %
My party has addressed an appeal
to foreign socialists for peace without
annexation. It has been rejected.
The French want absolutely to annex
Alsace-Lorraine."
He declared that the imperial chan
cellors’ words directed to the new
rulers of Russia had transgressed the
i military censorship, for the military
authorities had instructed the press
that nothing must be- published ap
pearing like the approval oi the Rus
sian revolution. He asked for the
creation of a constitutional democratic
state.
George Eedebour, Socialist Demo
era tic leader, said:
“If the German empero»- urgent'*.'
advised Emperor Nicholas in 1905 no;
longer to oppose fhe justified demands |
of the people, why did not the chan
cellor venture to give the same ad
vice to Emperor William ? We regcr!
a republic as a coming inevitable do
velopment in Germany.
“History now is marching wiui i
seven-league boots. 1 he Cterman peo
pie. indeed, show incredible patience
The reichstag must have the right to
a voice in the conclusion of alliances,!
peace treaties and declarations of
war. The imperial chancellor must
he dismissed when the reichatag de
mands it.”
Shouts of “high treason” interrupt
ed Herr Ledebour and the president
called him to order.

GOLD HOLDINGS
ARE GREATEST
IN OUR HISTORY

the United States treasury today were

SAYS HE’S A
MECHANIC NOT
A CHORUS GIRL

You have read the "keep smiling"
desk mottoes which help to make the
business man tired, but don’t believe
an incurably cheerful person exists in
real life. Then meet John Milburn.
He walked into a Kansas City hos
pital a few days ago and told the
physician in charge he was ill, had no
regular work and no relatives in the
city. Any friends? He gave the
name of a woman for whom he fires
a furnace. Valuables? Thirty-one
cents and an artificial leg.
"1 made it myself,” he said, looking
proudly at the leg. The foot, carved
from a block of wood with a jack
knife, is hinged to a piece of galvani
zed iron pipe. Hinged rods from an
old buggy top make the knee joint.
"I lost my leg in a railroad accident
about six years ago,” Milburn ex
%
plained. "When I got out of the hos
pital I had no job and no money. I
had to have a leg before l could get
a job. The fancy ones cost a fortune,
so I made this. I have been working
on it ever since until I was hurt in a
packing company about two months!
ago. Since then I have been a little
puny, but I will be all right soon.”
"Doesn’t the leg hamper you in
your work?” he was asked.
He laughed at the idea. "I am a
mechanic, not a chorus girl,” he said.
A report from Kolmakoff, on the
Kuskokwim, states that during the
recent intensely cold weather the
bodies of thousands of the small birds
which live all winter in Alaska, were
found in the snow under the trees, ap
parently having frozen to death.
