London, June 27. —With the first evidence of a new revolution in violent outbreaks in Berlin and Hamburg, coupled with generally credited reports that the former crown prince, Frederlch William, had escaped from exile at Wierlngen to Germany, London believes that a well organized attempt is being made in Germany to thwart peace on the allies’ terms. 185 Dead in Hamburg.

Order is reported temporarily restored in Hamburg, with the city under rule of a council of twelve, members Include communists and independent socialists. Though the British foreign ministry had received no official confirmation of the report that the German ex-crown prince had escaped from Wierlngen to Germany, the London press accepts the report as authentic. It is stated the ex-crown prince’s staff officers nffio were with him at Wierlngen accompanied him on the flight. Officials, however, were inclined to scoff at the report, it being claimed at Downing street that the foreign ministry would have heard of it were It true. Troops Sent to Hamburg.

General von Lettow-Vorbeck has been ordered to Hamburg with strong forces. The Stock Exchange building at Hamburg, it is added, was damaged seriously in the fighting for possession of the town hall.

Field Marshal von Hindenburg, in reply to a request from Minister of Defense Noske concerning the allied rejection of German reservations in the peace treaty, said that Ln the event of a resumption of hostilities, according to a Berlin dispatch, the Germans would be able to reconquer Posen and maintain the frontiers to the east, but hardly would be able to reckon on success in the west. The field marshal is said to have added: “A favorable issue to our operations is, therefore, very doubtful, but as a soldier I must prefer an honorable fall to an ignominious peace.” Groener Quits Post. General Groener, who succeeded Von Hindenburg as German chief of staff, has tendered his resignation to President Bauer, but has agreed to remain at his post until t he situation ih the eastern provinces becomes stabilized. Three presidents of eastern provinces of Prussia have Issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of their districts, expressing the deepest grief at the unconditional acceptance of the allied peace terms, but adding that the people “must not under the circumstances prevent the government from fulfilling its word to the enemy.” “Regard for our compatriots whd would have to bear the consequences of such action,” the proclamation says, “makes it our hard duty to refrain from fighting for our right of self-de-termination and honor and bow to the decision which has been made.”

SPEND WHAT WE DON’T SAVE

Indiana War Savings Organisation Trying to Reverse General Practice. Most Americans have been living on the theory of "saving what we don’t spend." The War Savings organization for Indiana la trying to Induce the "people of the state to transpose two words In this phrase and make It "spending what we don’t save” —to promote wise spending, intelligent saving and safe Investmment On the subject of wise spending the treasury department says: • “This means spending preceded by thought. It Implies the balancing of all needs, present and future, and of the means of meeting these needs, and then spending in such a way as to meet the most urgent ones. In essence It Is a sort of budget making. “Wise spending sees to it that all the income is not spent on the first needs or, desires, lest other more urgent needs or desires appear. “The determination of what is wise spending must rest with the individual, but he must be helped to overcome the temptation to satisfy present necessities to the neglect of future needs. "On the other hand, urgent necessities of today must not be neglected for the petty ones of tomorrow. Provision must me made for a rainy day and unforeseen emergencies, but economic stability implies also some capital with which to turn around, or to take advantage of opportunity.”

THRIFT MEANS FREEDOM.

Personal freedom, says the Elkhart Truth, consists of the right of every man to do what he pleases, to go where he pleases, and to be what he pleases so long as he does not Interfere with the rights of his neighbors. This is the Ideal of Individual freedom, but how few of us reach It Most of us are weighed down by shackles of circumstance which pamper our every movement. Our progress toward our own Ideals of liberty and happiness Is gainful and slow. Unmet obligations, the worry over what will become of us in our old age, the anxiety of seeing that our children are given a proper start tn life, armed with the proper weapons for battling with the world—all these hamper our freedom. We cannot be free. Free from the fear of want and all these material worries and anxieties which bind us down. There is a royal road to freedom. It is thrift Thrift will give us independence of all about us, freedom to go where we please, do what we please and be what we please. Thrift is not miserliness. Thrift Is sane saving, wise buying, the avoidance of waste and safe investment This is the thrift which our people came to know during the trying days of the war, and widen should become a permanent American habit This Is the thrift which the government is trying to foster through the continued sale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings stamps. This Is the thrift that will make millions free If they see and use their opportunity.

FRANKLIN AS W. S. S. SALESMAN.

Harry C. Stutz, the great auto maker, says: “Ben Franklin, philosopher-states-man, probably gave more sqge advice to the people on a multitude of subjects than any other man in our history. But the one he especially sought to impress upon ‘Young America’ was the virtue of thrift. Were he living now, he would sell more War Savings stamps than any other salesman we could enlist. —* • “This form of Investment appeals to laborer, to youth and to all of moderate means. It Is an opportunity for a profitable Investment with the best security -on the globe, and will be a great demonstrator of the possibilities of saving. Thrift stamps -will dig gold for you while you rest and sleep as well as when you work.” The nationalization of the port of St. Johns, N. 8., appears to be assured. This will mean elaborate improvements at once and will place St. Johns among the greatest ports of the Dominion.
