From all reports, the German revolution is

the whole people, outside of the relatively small
section in favor of absoluteism, resolves and
overturns the high man. Then they set them
selves'.to establish a stable government accord
ing to their own ideas . But power is wrested
from the more solid elements of the country
by rabid and noisy extremist: and the results
approach chaos. Of chaosth iddle class

cause they favor it; but because arv change

HOW CAN INDEMNITIES T?F PAID
The indemnity claims of the n’fie,' may ex
ceed the total wealth of the central powers, for
the claims may easily total a hand ■=-] and fifty
billions while the normal wealth of the four
centra! powers at the outbreak f the war was,
according to reports, estimated at a hundred
and twenty-five billions. But r w can that fa
bilious sum be raised? That is a question that
cannot be answere off hand. In our opinion,
there is but one recourse, and that is to make
the offenders pay to the limit of their capacity
which implies scaling down the totals of each
nation entitled to indemnity. Exact annual ins
tollments. which would keep the would-be con
querors paying tribute to the “inferior races”
for at least one, perhaps two generations to
come. After all, conquering the world is a ter
ribly expensive business for the conqueror who
fails, and large indemnities that will keep them
with their noses on the grinding stone for gen
erations might prove a good way of discourag
ing the sport.
A Polish writer said a short time ago that
the Jews were agitators. Mr. Man you are a
wav off the track. From the beginning of time
the Jews have been pursuaders; and lately,
that is the last few years, became fighters, but
trouble-makers never.

enemy. You see. Bolshevikism is only another

The government is largely to blame for the
’• eve of Bolshevism sweeping the country. For
the past four years these gentry have been

The recent seditious meetings in
Seattle 'where foreign speakers, unmolested

boldly declaring that this nation must accept
