10 PROSPECTS FOR STABLE
Forces of Disruption at
Work Within Coun-
cil of Six.
By GEORGE RENWICK.
(Copyright, 1918, by Chicago Tribune and
New York Times.')
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 11 (Delayed)—While
the Wolff Ilureau and Vorwaerts combine
to announce Germany and the world that
the Fatherland Socialist government is
strong enough to stand despite all ex-
tremist efforts to overthrow it, it is evi-
dent there are forces of disruption at
work within the committee of six calling
Itself the ministry. Street disturbances
last week have called forth from all quar-
ters statements and corrections, justifi-
cation and protest, disclosure and long
and bitter recriminations. Scheidemann
seems to wish that force should be used
against the Bolshevists and should they
be allowed by the government to continue
to act as they have been a< ting he threat-
ens to bring about a crisit by resigning.
Scheidemann, though not the ablest mem-
ber of the government, is undoubtedly
the most popular and his going would
practically throw things into the melting
pot again.
Vorwaerts, however, declares it does not
wish to see its extremist brothers swing
from a lamp post ami thinks the Bolshev-
ists should be dealt with on Tolstoian
lines—resist not evil. So another effort by
Llebknecht, even though unsuccessful, may
bring the government to the end of it's
uone too enefgetic or useful career.
The two sections of governmental Soci-
alists, the majority and Independent So-
cialists, do not appear to get on any too
well together. Die Freiheit, the organ
of the independent Socialists, severaly
scolds Ebert for not emphatically and im-
mediately rejecting tin* suggestion made
to him the other day by a crowd of soi-
diQfs ami sailors that he had been presi-
dent of the German republic.
Meanwhile the Socialists appear to live
on something like a terror of a counter
revolution and numerous stories of ob-
viously ridiculous pleas are being given
out to the press and in many cases ama-
teur detectives of the Soldiers' and Work-
ers' Council and other persons acting with-
out any authority, have arrested people
only to find their suspicious groundless.

CHILDREN OF BREST GATHER

the war began will form an avenue of

impressing and spectacular as will he this

against the work from children's bauds.
Today, hundreds of school "kids" are
roaming the surrounding hills gathering

tomorrow «et f>ot on France's soil.
After Die thunder of the greyhound

and the piping salutes from the French

tirst American President to visit a foreign

bower, every lea? of which will be a mes-
sage of affection from the children of
France.
This human tonch will be characteristic
of the kind of reception awaiting the Pres-

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.—
Neither the end of hostilities nor pro-
posals for a league of nations has al-
tered the policy of the general board
of tht navy in regard to making the
American Navy second to none in the
world. Rear Admiral Charles Badger,
chairman of the executive committee
of the board, today told the House
Naval Affairs Committee that the navy
should be equal to that of any other
nation by 1925 and urged that suffi-
cient appropriations to make this pos-
sible be made by Congress.
"The general board believes that un-
der the present world conditions and
the conditions likely to obtain in the
future," Admiral Badger said, "the
United States Navy should steadily
continue to increase. Ultimately it
should be equal to the most powerful
maintained by any other nation of
the world. Year by year development
should be made as consistent with the
facilities of the country but the limit
above defined should be attained not
later than 1925. ^
"Navies must be the principal support of
a league of nations, and the Fnited States,
from its wealth, influence and power, will
be called upon to contribute a large shar.»
of the International police force to render
such league effective. The duty of the
navy in the future, the admiral said, will
in- not only to guard the country against
invasion, but to protect as well the great
merchant marine now being built.
"The great naval lesson of the war lias
been that the nation possessing the most
powerful navy was able Iji a few weeks to

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.—Initial testi-
mony from a Government witness in
support of the charge that Victor L.

waukee, Adolph Germer, National sec-
retary of the Socialist party, J. Louis
Engdahl, William F. Kruse and Rev.
Irwin St. John Tucker, leading Social-
ists, were guilty of conspiracy to vio-
late the espionage act, was given to-
day before Judge Landis in the United
States District Court.
The witness whose testimony marked
the actual start of the trial was Arnold
A. Schiller, a Camp Grant soldier.
Much of his testimony hinged on con-
versations which tje had with Kruse
and other defendants relative to the
stand to be taken by Socialists who
were included in the draft.
Schiller was still on the witness
stand when court adjourned for the
day.
The entire morning session was occupied
with the opening statement ol Attorney
Seymour Stedman, chief counsel for the
defense, who denied specific allegations of
the charge iu the indictment and declared
that Socialists, while opposed to war,
obeyed the laws of the country and were
patriotic citizens.
Private Schiller, after telling of his en-
trance into the National Army Septeml er
If."!, 11)17, testified that he knew all <>f the
defendants and had seen them at different
times in the spring and summer of 11)17.
He said he was a member of the Young
People's Socialistic League, knowu as
"Yipsel," and that he had talked with W.
F. Kruse, defendant and secretary of the
league, in the presence of Herman Basler,
who he described as an organizer of the
leagues. Basler, he said, came from Ger-
many three years ago and was about 2'J
years old.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.—Recommendation of Director Gene

The Senate Interstate Commerce Committee was called to meet next Thurs-

subject, while the House committee will meet tomorrow with the expectation
that the director general's recommendation will be taken up.

PARIS, Dec. II (Delayed).—"There will be worse trouble in Germany as-
sure as sparks fly upward," said a French officer just returned from thre®
months in a Berlin hospital—he was captured ten weeks ago with a bullet
wound in his thigh during the battle at the north end of the Argonne. Th»
correspondent got him in a train from Nancy to Paris as he had managed to
reach the French lines by joining a Berlin train of returning prisoners frota>
eastern Germany.
He continued: "According to what I heard—and since the armistice th^
hospital people talked freely, and I was even allowed to walk about with a
young surgeon—the provisional government have a far more insecure position,
than anyone would have itnagindd who failed to realize that they control th©'
wireless. In point of fact the whole situation is very similar to that of Russia
during the first phase of the revolution. The army has not yet taken a real;
hand in the game and Spartacides are steadily gaining adherents and increase
ing the embarrassment of the government, which would like to arrest Lieb-»
knecht and other leaders, but dare not. Just as Kerensky failed to resist!
Lenine, so I think the Spartacides will overcome Ebert. In the meantime, by-'
a curious reversal of things, the Russian Bolshevists are helping the Sparta-
cides with cash, propaganda and plot, as the Germans helped Lenine anAt
Trotzky.
"It is true that the Bolshevist ambassador, Kuntze, was forced to leave
Berlin, but he gave the Spartacides two million rubles, I'm told, in gold, before"
his departure. Bolshevist agents in Denmark have abundant funds and elab-
orate printing outfits for the circulation of propaganda in Germany which th9«
provisional government is powerless to prevent. The most doubtful factor i®<
the situation is the attitude of the army,

"rjLACKIE" died the other day in her ninth year, a ripe old age for the
average barnyard denizen. But this was no mere hen. Her song of a
newly laid egg was sung to the accompaniment of coughing switch engines
or grinding wheels in grimy railroad yards of many States. More than half
a hundred of her descendants visited San Antonio in their own barnyard
Pullmans.
The chauffeur's own story of "Five Wizards in the Wilds" is going to
be mighty interesting to the readers of the Sunday Express. These men,
everyone whose name is a household word, ran away from civilization and
big business, invading the "back country" to get "tuned up" for winter's
huge work.
Boches in San Antonio! Why not? Were they not beaten and captured
in the battle of Picardy Plain, and not a casualty in the tremendous action
