SHARP CRITICISM OF GERMAN WAR POLICY Reichstag Members Object to | Playing Role of Puppets ever lived by the German people. It was believed that, following the con- clusion of peace ir the east, a mili- tary superiority had been created in the west. In that we have been de- ceived. Authoritative circles have underestimated the enemy and this | undrestitnation has been communi- cated suggestively to the people. “It has not been possible, as a mil- itary thought, to crush the enemy. ‘We will, on the contrary, be com- pelled to do our utmost in avoiding being crushed ourselves. “Vice Chancellor von Payer en- deavored in his speech at Stuttgart, to | justify Germany’s policy in the east. He even tried to harmonize his ad- dress wit hremarks recently made by Dr. W. S. Solf, the secretary of state for colonies. This was a difficnlt un- dertaking, for Dr. Solf probably would have spoken quite differently if ! he had been acquainted with the treaties supplementary to the Brest- Litovsk convention. It is very char- acteristic that Dr. Solf, as a member of the government, knew nothing of these treaties. / “The time is irrevocably passed when the peoples are willing to spill | their blood for dynastic reason. It | has been impossible to bring our fjull force to bear upon the western froht, because, as a result of our eastern | policy, German troops must be kept in great ‘strength in the east.” According to the Vorwaerts the at- titude of the German gvernment rela- tive to the first Austrian peace note caused surprise in Berlin. “There is a cleft in the alliance,” the newspa- per says. Civil authorities are over-ruled by the military on many occasions, ac- cording to the reportef the debate in the main committee. Herr Scheide- mann said that “at the order of the military some police porter forbids a deputy to discuss a question which today engrosses the entire attention of the German public.’ It is pointed out that he referred to franchise reform. Herr Scheid- mann said the efforts of the militafy to beat down every free emotion among the people had the result of | making conditions at the front “worse and worse.” BERLIN NEWS BADER LIEUTENANT, PARENTS INFORMED Berlin Soldier Wins Commission at Officers’ School Abroad NEMBER OF COMPANY 1| e i | Marinzoni— | 5.—German news- papers received here show that sharp criticism of the German military policy was voiced in debate during a. sitting of the main committee of the Reichstag late in September. Deputy Adolph Groeber of the center party, Philip Scheidmann, the socialist lead- er and now secretary of state without portfolio in Prince Maximilian’s gov- ernment; Deputy Rischbeck of the people’s progre ve party, and Dr. Gustav Stresemann of the national liberal party, were the chief criti The keynote of their remarks was that the military policy reduces the civil government to the role of a pup- pet. According to the Vorwaerts of Sep- tember 26, the address of Herr Groe- ber was the greatest surprise of the . In the past he has been a strong supporter of the militarist forces. During the debate he turned upon Chancellor von Hertling and also Gen. von Stein, Prussian war minister, ac- cusing the latter of having forbidden meetings in favor of the peace reso- lution passed by the Reichstag in July, 1917. Philip Scheidemann was unsparing !in his criticism of conditions which have arisen during recent months. He said in part: “The last year has been the worst New York, Oct.

Inc were arrested yesterday after indict- ment by Brooklyn federal grand jur: on charges of conspiracy to furnish defective leather goods to the govern- ment. The arrests were made undr a superseding indictment returned | vesterday, which added the names of Abraham Lampert, the inspector, and Adolph Hollander, the foreman, to those of Morris and Leo Rosenwasser and the 14 employes and inspectors already taken into custody. Lampert and Hollander were held in $5,000 bail, and that of the other defendants was continued. Federal Judge Chatfield set October 30 for the argument on the qdestion as to whether Col. Harry J. Hirsch of the quartemaster corps, one of the defendants, should be tried by a mili- tary tribunal as his counsel contends. ARR cived ffrs.

Not the machine which was shipped July 1 but a new machine which the company sent to replace the lost one. Selectman Johnson was notified that there was a voting machine at the express office for the town of Plain- ville. In the next mail he.received word that the machine was not.the one reported lost but a new one which the town will use in the election of November 5 and until some trace of the lost machine is found. At the present time the sclectman does not know definitely whether the company will stand responsible for the loss of the voting machine or whether the town will have to take the matter up with the railroad company. If the i vas shipped F. O. B. from the town will pro- have to settle with the railroad. Campaign Among Catholi In connection with the war work | campaign to raise money in the town a committee has heen named by Rev. J. T. MacDonald to take charge among the Catholics and to assist the general committee. This is a most helpful and wise move inasmuch as it is ex- | pected that a larger amount can be | raised through the co-operation of the people of the parish as a whole rather than through a general canva The move is also most wise because the new pastor, when he arrives here, will be a stranger in town.

MIHIEL PUSH 170 Operations Performed During First Day of Drive { New Haven, Oct .25.—According to a letter received by Secretary Stokes from an officer of the Yale Mobile Hospital Unit (Mobile Hospital, No. 39, A. E. F.), this pioneer American mobile hospital rendered important service in the recent St. Mihiel of- fensive. Enlarged to 580 beds a new organization was quickly formed | and a new operating room and triage on the principle of the Ford factory arranged. Despite the fact that a maximum number of 144 operations was figured according to the regular French formula. 170 operations were performed in the first 24 hours of the | driv In addition to the 201 cases received during that first day, there were more than 400 people on the hilltop where the unit was stationed who had to be fed. It is reported that the enlarged or- ! ganization under the eommand of Lieut. Col. Joseph Marshall Flint of the Yale Medical School worked splendidly during the drive. In three weeks, during the Chateau-Thierr drive, the small central group of f teen officers, nineteen nurses, and cighty men was expended into an or- of The evacuation spital personnel arrived too late to be of any great use, necessitating the unit’s going through the drive with | the organization previously arranged. In the letter, originally dated Sep- tember 26, the statement is made that the line had receded from the mobile hospital about fourteen miles to the nearest point, but that owing to ex- cellent roads and service the hospital as near or nearer the front than fore. The unit was then under or- ders to be ready for moving forward any moment, although no decision had been reached regarding.this. A picture received with the letter of the model of the Yale unit, which since then may very lik have changed Lcter considerably, shows the ind barrack units side by side, the large operating pavilion, comi- pleted for the recent drive, the nar- ! row-gaugc Iroad used for the first time in this system of the A.

The tent and moving-picture machine had been presented to the regiment through Chaplain Pctty by friends of his in New Haven. Writing from P September 18, a Y. M. C. A. who went through the St. Mihiel drive, refers to spending a night ‘at Mobile Hospital No. 39 and seeing 240 wounded come through. He fur- ther tells of v airplane circling about the hospital justebefore dusk ind finally landing and calling for a stretcher. They found that the plane s a with a wound- ed observer. hving been un- touched in the fight with Boche ma chines. The remarkable fact was that the French airplane had flown to the hospital and delivered the man wounded in the leg and foot to the doctors probably within ten minutes of the ficht. This is an indication of the nearncss of the Yale unit to the front during the St. Mihiel drive and its usefulness during that time Mobile Hospital Unit i the Yale Medical by Prof Joseph Marshall in the spring of 191 Despite various obstacles, it sailed for France d',lring‘ be t dace of officer under rench mchine the pilot of v | Hean victo | the kaiser and our enemies : | a repudiation of President W | publican, of North T | on | as Former merly priced to $35.00. or rmerly Priced to $45.00.
