Page 6 EBERT IS STILE HEAD OF TEUTON CABINET AFTER COUNTING NOSES Reorganization Puts Into Effect Popular Program for Peo- ple’s Benefit (By United Preas BERLIN, Jan. 2.The new German government cabinet is finally constituted as follows: Ebert, Chancellor and minister of the interior;) Scheidemann, “foreign minister; Noske, min- ister of the army and navy; Lands- burg, minister of finance; Wessell, minister of social affairs. The new government issued the eens proclamation to the peo- ple: “The government's domestic poli- cies will be: to prepare for a national assembly; to provide food; to under- take socialization of all public insti- tutions; to seize war profits; to find unable to obtain employment; to pro- employment for all; to support those mote national defense and to disarm unauthorized persons.” “The government’s foreign poli- cies will be: to bring about a favor- able and quick peace; to reform Ger- | man diplomacy abroad thru new men | and new spirit.” SHIP KAISER 10 CODY, SAYS JURY ONDENVER POST Former Wyoming Woman Now Author and Newspaper Writer, Speculates on Reception County Bill Would Get By CAROLINE LOCKHART (In the Denver Post) | While they are sitting over there in} Europe with wet towels on their | heads trying to think what to do with the kaiser that will punish him! enough, they could save themselves a lot of trouble ‘if they would cérate! him, with instructions to feed and) water at stations, and ship him to Cody, Wyo.

When he came back with his rav- en hair snow-white they could send him out to herd sheep for Paul Rich- ter over toward the Bear Tooth range. If he was not building monuments inside of a week they could take his dog away from him and let him herd 800 Rambouillet bucks by hand for a time. And when he commenced picking at the soogan and talking to himself, they could bring him back to town and tie him in a chair in the Opery house while the late Democratic can- didate for governor, Frank L, Houx, delivered one of his famous lectures en the evils of drink. If he did not laugh himself to death they could take him to the De M hot springs, four miles off, wand his clothes, while the school marms brot the botony class to eat its lunch under the trees. And ,when he was well soaked Henry Goodreau, very likely, could get away from the garage where he works long enough to sing “The Lost Chord.” If his heart was still fluttering af- ter that, they could call in the “lady doctor” to operate. The sound of her surgical knife being whetted on the stove-pipe probably would bring him to himself long enough to gasp —"Oh, why did I did it?” Sure! Send him along, and the} Crown Prince, also. It’s as easy to kill two as one in my Home Town, and not the last bit of trouble. ee NOTICE, + To Those Concerned: Or wishing to interview me upon; any pretext whatever will find me at/ the Wyott Hotel, in Casper, Wyo.
