(Continued on Second Page) POLITICAL CONDITIONS I B IN GERMANY The German revolution seems to be taking the same course as the Rus- ( sian. The Imperial German Government has been replaced by a group j " of moderate Socialists with Ebert as i vi Chancellor, just as the Kerusky cab- j inet succeeded the Czar's govern-1 sj ment. But in Germany as in Russia i thc Soviets appear to have the real power and may at any moment overthrow the moderates and declare a proletarian government. In fact 01 this has already happened in Dussollorf, Bremen, Kiel and other indtistrial centers. <" Corresponding to the Bolsheviki of * Russia is the Sparlacus faction, chiefly composed of the Independent So- v< eialists who refused to support the war and in consequence seceded from ,( lh(? Social Democratic party, which h' supported the German government J ? during the war. Ebert and the Ma- n1 jority Socialists are willing to have n constituent assembly elected in January to decide upon the form of 111 government, biu the Spartpcus fac- 's Lion will light rather than surrender -'c the government to the burgeoisie or iimuiiic mass. i ncy demand int. re- I" pudiation of all public debts, the confiscation of fortunes, the establish- hi mcnt of a six or three-hour day and f,< other radical measures. The Soviets t or Councils of Workmen and Soldiers :11 at Oldenbeurg, Hamburg, lire men and Sehleswig-IIolstein, that is, of 1,1 the North Sea Provinces, have united (M to form an independent republic with the Free City of Hamburg as the eapi- ?' tal. In southern and Catholic Germany h the radical views do not meet with the same acceptance, and Bavaria threatens to secede unless a constituent assembly is soon called and a ] democratic government established. At Berlin the Spartacus party is growing in power although they have not yet broken with the Jl^crt gov- :' eminent and have susp/m71<<! the '' formation of their proposed Red Guard. The government has been '] strengthened by the addition of Karl Kautsky and Edward Bernstein as Under Secretaries of State. Kautsky is opposed to Ilolshev ism. The re- ' serve and returned soldiers are in general anti-Bolshevik. J In some respects revolutionary " Germany differs decidely from the old. The soldiers no longer salute their officers but address them as " "comrade." Policemen are unarmed or carry only rubber clubs. The red ^ flag has everywhere replaced the 1m- 1 perial and Itoyal insignia. 'lhings once forbidden are now permissible, and strangers no longer have to register at the police station. AIR PLANE LANDING FOR CHESTERFIELD '? The United Stales Government is going to establish three airship mail routes over the country. The main air line from Boston and New York to Jacksonville and Key West, Cuba and South America v.ill pass over Raleigh and Columbia, and incidentally Chesterfield.

The meeting was attended exclu- 1 vely by wo, wn, it bei) g unique in lat and in other ways. The guard ( f honor was made up of members f the various uniformed women's 1 rgn nidations. The Premier poihted out that beveen 0,000,090 and 7.000.000 worni would have a direct influence on to legislation of the future, which c ould largely depend on how they s ited. "If you suspect and man of going j > the Peace Conference with war in s heart," said the Premier, "vote 1 gainst him. The coming peace must al e war diflicult, if not imoossible v hose who nadu the war must paj , le penally. The higher they are the ore reason why they should be pun hed. The Oerman people must al> bo made to pay the penalty. If it an easy peace it will net be a just lace." The Premier said he was a believer j i a League of Nations; while he mid not say it would prevent war. would add to the difficulties of taking war. n Huge arinie?, which tempted rul * rs to war. must not be allowed to 1 mtinue. I 11o declared himself in favor of qual rights- for women', us well as 1 equal pay for equal work and equal- 1 y in the marriage laws." _____________ i RUBY, ROUTE 2 As we haven't had any news from ] (lis route for sime time 1 will Rive j ou some. ^ Messrs. 11.

SUE CRAIG On November 25th, 1918 the Worn- , in's Missionary Society of the Cheserfield Baptist church sustained a leavy loss in the death of its first resident, Mrs. Sue Craig. A U-iL A I A ? i/i }>u?t uulii me society ana Lhe church hud been deprived of her iresence on account of her ill-health; still she continued to manifest in many ways her love and interest for ihem. With a feeling of the deepest sorrow we experienced this loss. Yet ler sweet memory will be an inspira:ion to this little band to work till the Master shall say "Enough." Mrs. Craig's body ^vas laid to rest leheath a mound of lovely flowers, n the Chesterfield cemetery.
