Of the nineteen wounded soldiers returned from France that were quartered at West Baden last week in the big Sinclair hotel, now known as U. S. general hospital No. 35, eight are Jlndiaiiuans — Sergt. John W. Williamson, Privates Fred Schmidt and Walter W. Gardner of Indianapolis; Privates Lawrence Sea s, Greencastle; Roman E. Gutsgell, Jasper; Charles Beck, Rochester; Charles Wethington, Jeffersonville, and Alva Shrader of Winamac. The latter was struck in the head by a piece of shrapnel and a part of his skull was torn away. The surgeons say that he will come around alright but he has absolutely no recollection of any of the incidents connected with his being wounded or where it happened. Slowly his memory Is working its way back. Another contingent of wounded soldiers arrived at West Baden Sunday.

Giving as his reason that his expenses have greatly exceeded his income and that he must return to <civil life in order to recoup his jmrsbnal finances, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, who is also di-rector-general of the railroads of the country, has . tendered his resignation to President Wilson and will return to the practice of law in New York City, it is announced. The resignation has been accepted but no successor has- been named as yet. Mr. McAdoo is a tvery able man Indeed, and even the opposition press, now that he has resigned, admits this and regrets that he has done so.

Loss or 145 American passenger and merchant vessels of *354,449 tons .and 775 lives through acts of the enemy during the period from the beginning of the world war to the cessation of hostilities, November 11, is shown by figures made public by the department of commerce's bureau of navigation. The report does, not include several vessels, the loss of which has not been established as due to acts of the enemy. Nineteen vessels and sixty-seven lives were lost through use of torpedoes, mines and gunfire prior to the entrance of the United States into the war. Lee M. Ransbottoni, former auditor of Starke county, was in Knox a couple of "days last week. He was arrested in Minnesota recently, and taken to. Crawfordsville to answer a charge of perjury in connection with the sale of $5,000 worth of fraudulent gravel road bonds to a Crawfordsville lady. Friends have furnished the $2,500 bond', and his victims are permitting him to return to his farming interests in Minnesota in an effort to "make good” the losses. —-Pulaski Co. Democrat.

The war department has emphasized that soldiers being discharged from camps receive pay in full and traveling expenses at the rate of 3% cents a mile to their homes. They also have a 2-cent rate on all railroads. This statement was made because some men in uniform in cities near camps have been reported soliciting aid from civilians with pleas that the government has discharged them from service with no provision for their return home.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Are claims of sacrifice all fibs? I see around me men and dames who have much fat upon their ribs, and costly rags upon their frames. Their silks and feathers still they flaunt, and wear fine lids upon their domes, and talk of how the wolf of want is howling by their humble homes. We eat as much as in the times when peace was here, with all its charms, before the Prussian’s beastly crimes led Uncle Sam to take up arms. And when we’Ve stowed away a steak, and packed some pie and pudding down, we think we ve made some tyrant quake because the bread we ate was brown. The clothes we wear, it seems to me, are just as gaudy as they were before our boys went o’er the sea to fill the air with German fur. We’re just as keen to blow the mon as though we hadn’t any foes; we take in every brand of fun from prize fights down to movie shows. We talk as though our souls were set on putting Wilhelm on a crutch, but have you seen a fellow yet who looks as though he’d'suffered much? We’ll talk of sacrifice, no doubt, until the morn of peace has dawned; and meanwhile very loyal scout should miss no chance to buy a bond.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

300,000 GREET FRENCH TROOPS IN STRASSBURG

Gen. Gouraud Leads 4th Army Into Beautiful Alsatian City. FOCH ANR PETAIN ARRIVE Soldiers March Arm in Arm With Happy Populace, While Everywhere the Tricolor Blazes Forth Again. * Strassburg, Nov. 26.—The French trl-color now flutters from the citadel of this ancient fortress city, dating from the time of the Romans. At the head of the French Fourth army, amid a furore of enthusiasm on the part of the populace, Marshal Foch, King Albert of the Belgians and General Gouraud and Marshal Petain entered the historic town on the Rhine, through the famous Schirmeck gate amid the tremendous enthusiasm of 300,000 people. Never did an army have such a triumphal greeting. “Such a spectacle pays all our sufferings,” said General Gouraud, who issued a proclamation to the city beginnlng with the words of the “Marseillaise:” “The day of glory has come.” A quick inspection of the Alsatian capital shows that the de-Gennaniza-tion of the town is proceeding with prodigious rapidity and is characterized by the frantic rechristening of business houses. Every few yards there appears a white cotton band with a French name that has hastily been draped over the German firm name or the German trademark. There are now the “Case de I’hris” and the “Restaurant de La Marne,” replacing Teutonic names, while some proud houses have hung in their windows a discreet card on which is written: “French house, dating before 1870.” Strassburg Gay With Flags. The enthusiasm of the French troops grew with that of the population as they advanced toward the Rhine, and when StrassbuYg was reached by the advance guards Friday afternoon came the climax of the celebration. The superb Alsatian capital was already one fluttering mass of red, white and blue. Automobiles arrived with officers in advance of the troops and the officers were taken out and carried in triumph into the city. All afternoon and all evening the troops inarched through the town arm in arm with Alsatians in their national costume. All day Saturday they did the same and Sunday evening they continued by torchlight—long lines of horizon blue, interspersed witli the gay colors of the Alsatian costumes; ribbons stretching from’ curb to curb; singing, dancing, the people seemingly oblivious to the sharp cold. The reoccupation of Alsace-Lorraine by the French troops has been accompanied by growing enthusiasm on the part of the population in proportion as the forces pehetrate farther toward the Rhine. Nearest to the old German frontier the rejoicing is greatest and the manifestations most picturesque.

ARMY-NAVY “MOP UP” REDS

Soldiers and Sailors Maul Crowd of New York Radicals. New York. Nov. 26. —Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and marines broke through a cordon of police surrounding Madison Square garden and attacked International Socialists who had attended a mass meeting at which bolshevik doctrines were expounded. The men and women leaving the hall broke and fled as the men in uniform charged past the police, but were pursued into the side streets in all directions. Several men and \yomen were arrested during the meeting for displaying red flags in defiance of an edict by Mayor Hylan. Large numbers of men in uniform entered the bulldiiffe. before the doors were locked, with the avowed determination of preventing attacks upon the government.JThey were restrained with difficulty by the police and detectives from making an assault on the stage. Scores of fist fights were interrupted by officers.

GERMAN REDS OPEN WAR ON THE ENTENTE

Doctor Carl Liebnecht Appeals to Soldiers to Fight Bourgeoisie Imperialism. GAME OF PACKED MEETINGS 1 ■ , ■. Demand Revolts in England and France —Agitation in Its Extirety Is the Official Propaganda of the Spartacus Extremists. Berlin, Nov. 26.—Dr. Carl Liebnecht, the radical socialist leader, is devoting himself primarily at present to an effort to influence the men returning from the front. His henchmen comprise a small army of Red soldiers who are accused of packing various meetings to secure the majority necessary to push through resolutions and other measures calculated to embarrass the present government. , Liebknecht’s agitation in its entirety is the official propaganda of the Spartacus group of extreme radicals, lie chiefly directs his attacks at the proposed national assembly. The indications so far, however, are that his effort to win over the returning soldiers has failed. Sunday’s meetings was marked by 1110- violent opposition of soldiers, who declared they had been attracted to the meeting under false pretenses. The radical leader’s oratory Is forceful and vindictive. His principal appeal to the proletariat runs thus: Assails “the Bourgeoisie." “Did the bourgeoisie while in power permit you to have a voice in the government? No; then the working man must not allow it to have a say now. We need a government of soldiers and workmen, one typifying the proletariat, which will not have to bow down before the entente. “There must be no dickering with entente imperialism. We will dispose of that just as we did of the German autocracy. The revolution is bound also to reach the entente countries, but we, who made the Russians waste whole years,, are demanding that the revolution break out in England and France within 24 hours.” Socialists Court Army.

The council of the people’s commissioners welcomes the returning troops with a proclamation, saying: “You marched into the field for the fatherland when you ‘had nothing to say and a handful of autocrats had the power in their .hands and distributed ilie booty among themselves. You had to fight.in silence, while hundreds of thousands at your side had to die. '*■ “Today you return to your own country, where’in the future only tire people themselves will have anything to say. Germany free, our socialist public will join the league of nations. You will find not only all the political rights you hitherto have been deprived of, but the fatherland shall also be your property economically.” Tiie proclamation is signed by Chancellor Friedrich Ebert, Hugo Haase, Philipp Scheidemann, Wilhelm Dittman, Lansberg and Barth, all members of the ministry. Agreement Is Signed. Copenhagen, Novr—2s.—An agreement has been reached between the German soldiers’ and workmen’s council and the government, it is officially announced in Berlin. The agreement provides: “1. All political power is to be in the hands of the German socialist republic and the soldiers’ and workmen’s council.

“2. Their aim is to defend and develop what has been accomplished by the revolution and to suppress all counter-revolutionary activity. “3. Pending the election of representatives of the soldiers’ and workmen’s councils to an executive council of the German republic, the executive council in Berlin is to exercise Its functions. “4. The appointment and dismissal of the members of the various legislative bodies of the republic and until the final constitution is Prussia, are to be made by the central executive council, which also has the right of control. “5. Before the cabinet appoints assistant ministers the executive council must be consulted. “6. A convention of deputies drawn from the soldiers’ and workmen’s council is to be summoned as soon as possible.” Spartacus Group Strikes. Stockholm, Nov. 26.—Adherent sos the Spartacus group at Berlin attempted on Friday evening to seize the Berlin police presidency. Several persons were killed or injured.

GREAT OCCUPATION IS HINTED

Entente May Find It Necessary to Control Entire Europe. Paris, Nov. 26. —The possibility of the allies being obliged to effect the military occupation of a large part of central and eastern Europe, pending the settlement by a league of nations of the many difficulties which have arisen there, seems to be more and more imminent. This occupation need not involve large bodies of men. It would doubtless be sufficient to occupy merely certain important points to obtain the moral effect necessary for the preservation of order.

America's Pledge to the Allies When Their Lines Were Breaking

America will send the food, whatever needs for victory. They believed, they stood fast and with our men they carried on—to victory.

THE TEST NOW FULFILLED.

This government Is nothing more than the expression of the people, and If we are to win the war It will be only because every man, woman and child charges himself dally and hourly with the test, Does this or that contribute to win the war? —Herbert Hoover, April 18, 1918. With the solemn obligation of providing that “margin” of food that would safeguard against starvation our friends in Europe the housewife and the consumer have learned hitherto Ignored and unsuspected things about food, have absorbed a whole “college education” in food values, food handling, buying and substituting that they will not want to forget. Our voluntary food-saving not only saved the Allies and made vital contribution to the winning of the war, but saved to ourselves in administration expenses the outlay out of our own pockets that any effective system of rationing would have extracted. It -would have cost us about $45,000,000 to have policed ourselves as against the 2 cents per capita for co-operating. By saving and sharing America kept the world together during the war crisis. By saving and sharing America will help to bring the healing of nations.
