LONDON, Nov. '27.—The situation in Germany appears to
be more calm although the country is not safe from Bolshevism.
The decisive attitude of Kurt Eisner, president of the Bavar-
ian republic, is uniting the anti-Bolshevik sentiment throughout
Germany. Right now he is probably the strongest man in the
whole country. His adherents have made it plain they will not
stand any nonsense, and have issued a warning notifying I'ieK.
Marshal Von Hindenburg to keep out of Politics.
On the other hand, it is reported there are 70,000 armed sol-
diers in Berlin over whom Karl Liebknecht, self-styled Bolshevist,
is trying to get control in order to start a counter revolution.
Posters have been distributed in Cologne, offering $2:> re-
ward for the former kaiser and crown prince, "alive or dead."
FUTURE AUTOS TO
BE MADE BETTER
More Attention Will Be Given to
Qualities Than To Attrac-
tive Designs.
DETROIT. Mich., Nov. 27.—Auto-
mobile manufacturers here will make
an effort to convert the automobile
world to the mechanical perfections
of the automobile rather than to at-
tractive external designs at the win-
ter automobile shows.
At the automobile show to be staff-
ed here some time in January a num-
ber of concerns will exhibit airplane
motors in their cars. A half dozen
manufacturers have already announc-
ed their intention of using airplane
motors in the new models while oth-1
ers are preparing to follow suit.
Little attention is being given to j
new external design, one reason being i
the engineers are unable to produce !
anything radical and the other is that
manufacturers fel more attention is i
due to perfecting the motor, axle,
transmission and the "insides" in gen-
eral.
SHOE PROGRAM WAS
STOPPED BY PEACE
No Price Limitations, Stamping
or Classification and But
Few Colors.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 27.--The
classification of and price reduction j
on shoes as a war measure will not go
into effect as planned by the War In- !
dustries Board, the ruling requiring
such steps having been suspended im-
mediately following the signing of the
armistice.
This information was received by
the Oklahoma State Council of De-
fense which immediately notified all
county councils. The shoe program,
having been limited to the period of
the war, it is recommended that the
pledge and window card system, the
stamping of shoes, their classifica-
tion and price limitations be stopped
but that the general conservation pro-
gram, that is, the voluntary reducing
by the manufacturers of the number
of styles, colors of leather, etc., be
permitted to continue through the sea-
son of 1919.
FT. WORTH, Tex.. Nov. 27. -Billy
Sunday, in the heat of a hell-raising
revival paused long enough today to
tell the United Press what he thinks
America has to give thanks for this
Thanksgiving.
"We are thankful" Sunday said
"that the white-winged dove of peace
has at last burst through the stern
clouds of war.
"That the Prussian beast and his
whelps have been caged and we will
check their baggage to St. Helena.
"That Christ is mightier tha
Krupp.
i "That the Cross of Cavalry has
triumphed over the cross of iron.
America Was In Right
j "That at the darkest moment in
j history God armed the American na-
I tion and sent her into the light with
legions of angels and battalions in
khaki and saved the world for Chris-
i tian civilization.
I "That from now on we will occu-
py a loftier position in the council of
nations.
"That the flags of the allies wave
over Jerusalem instead of the Scar
and Crescent of Mohammed.
"That the tension and strain which
have tugged at the hearts of mil-
lions of fathers and mothers for fear
their sons would sleep somewhere in
France is over and soon the boys will
come marching home, singing 'My
Country* tis of Thee.'
We Can Feed the World
"That we have cattle and sheep
enough on our hills and hogs enougn
in our pens and grain enougli in our
gi-anaries to feed the hungry world.
"That we have been able to dig this
grave and carve this epitaph: 'Here
lies buried Prussian militarism and
German kultur, slain by the help of
All Mighty God, and the army, the
navy, and marines of Uncle Sam."
"That, although on the -surface we
may appear a joy-loving care-free
I people, yet at heart we are a Chris-
| tian nation and give thanks to our
Heavenly Father for the victory of
j right over might."

LONDON, Nov. 27.—While legal
authorities of the British govern-
ment have decided that the allies are
entitled to demand extradition of the
former kaiser, it is learned that Hol-
land is no yet presuaded on that right.
The Dutch government is under
stood to maintain that Wilhelm can ;
only be extradicted by Germany, or
if his fate is decided at the peace
conference he .will then be given up
in accordance with such decision, inas-
much as Germany will be represented
The reason the unwelcome guest
is on their hands the Dutch say, is
only that Holland is the nearest neu-
tral point to Spa from which his
flight began. Otherwise he might |
have gone to Scandanavia or Swit-1
zerland.
Holland's precautions against any
plotting are known to include a cor-
don of troops around Amergonger
castle. The former emperor is not
permitted to cross the moat. The
| country around the castle is low and
generally unattractive.
Wilhelm, it is reported, constantly
displays irritation and impatience,
while the Dutch mostly are frankly
contemptuous because he failed to
face the music.
The former crown prince's abode
is on a barren island where the only
habitation is that rector's house
where Friederich Wilhelm is quar-
tered. The Dutch say the allies would
be unable to provide a more unpleas-
ant prison.
PARIS, Nov. 27.—Foreign Minister Pinchon and
Admiral Leygues will meet President Wilson on his ar-
rival at Brest, according to present plans, while Presi-
dent Poincare, his cabinet and the various allied army
chiefs, will await the arrival of the American party in
Paris.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 27-One

TWO BITES, NOT ONE,
IS DOUGHBOY S IDEA
OF SHOWING RESPECT
(By United Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 25. (By mail.)
—A doughboy was stoutly as-
serting that there was no lack
of discipline in the American
army
"Why, our boys show no end
of respect for their superior of-
ficers," he said. "A friend of
mine was sitting in a dark
trench, eating an apple when a
black figure loomed up and said
something unintelligible.
"Have a bite?" asked my
friend.
" 'Can't you see I'm a staff
captain?' the dark figure thun-
dered.
"'Are you really?' said my
friend. 'Well, in that case
have two bites."
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27-The post-
office department is ready to take
men who have been piloting a motor
truck over shell holes and give him
a job at $4 a day in his own home
town.
Of all the plans and schemes for
so-called "reconstruction" in which
use of army men and equipment is
proposed, the postoffice department's
plan alone is complete and ready to
be put into immediate operation.
Under the army appropriation bill
army motor trucks at the discretion
of the secretary of war, are to be
turned over to the postoffice to be
used in broadening the parcels post
and city delivery service.
First Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al James I. Blakeslee today said that
he is ready to take all the trucks and
all the men the war department will ^
turn over to him.
Moreover he is asking thc Secre-!
tary of War to give him approximate- j
ly 400 trucks as soon as possible and
he will get men to run them. The pos- j
tal service now employs 104 trucks on
"star routes" connecting all the im-
portant cities of the country from
Portland Maine, to Chicago, and from
Chicago to New Orleans.
Reports submitted to Blakeslee
show that the trucks in operation dur-
ing the month of September earned a
net profit f approximately $3000.00
for each route.
Blakeslee says that sections not ser-
ved by ra roads in all parts of the
country a e clamoring for motor
