New Body Opens National
Headquarters In Wash
ington, D. C.
There is a new committee. In Wasl
-ngton, which has a proKram that la
one of tho deepest and most responsi
hie that has been undertaken by any
group ol men since tho beginning ot
the war. It is called the Democratic
Mid-European I'nlon and It has just
opened the doors of its new head
Quarters in the McLachlen building
at 10th and G streets. Its president
is Dr. Thomas G. Masaryk, who la also
president of the Czechoslovak Na
tional Council. Its executive director
Is Herbert Adolphus Miller, formerly
professor of sociology In Oberlln Col
lege and for many years a'closo stu
dent of the races of middle Europe.
Hilefly, the purpose of the Demo
cratic Mid-European Vnlon Is to ef
fect a unity of effort amojig the op
pressed nations of Central Enropa to
smooth out and adjust, their differ
ences; and t.6 provide a common
council chamber where their repre
sentatives may meet together and dis
cuss their problems from time to
time, " ' .
There are seven gioups already rep
resented in the Vnlon: the-Czecho-
flbvaks, the Polos; the. Roumanians,
the Jugoslavs, tho Ilthuanians, ths
Ukrainians, and the Italian Irredent
ists. Other nations will be admitted
later, If they seek representation:' the
Ietes, Finns, Esthonlans, Albanians,
I riredeerned Greeks, and others.
Even the Bulgarians?, if they show a
thorough change of heart and a de
sire- to subscribe ,to the alms of the
fpfieratlon, will not find the way bar
red to them. . ., ,
,. To begin with, the new organization
W(U.l hold . meetings every other .Wed
nesday. . Special sessions will be
called, whenever important questions
demand attention. The men who sit
about the council table will be ac
credited representatives of the differ
ent official national committees and
councils which have been formed By
these peoples since the beginning of
the war? Each group will have ono
vote. The expenses of the commit
tee will be met by all of them, each
nationality contributing a fraction
proportionate to the numbers of its
population. At present, about 65,-
000,000 peopls will be informally
represented by the delegates at the
bi-weekly meetings.
The idea of this Important federa
tion has been in the minds of some
of its members for a very Ions time.
But active steps to form it were only
taken about three weeks ago, at a
meeting in the Biltmore hotel, in New
York. On that occasion. Prof. Ma
saryk presided at a little gathering
of interested persons, and definite ar
rangements were made to carry, the
project to Washington and seek thi
co-operation of agencies of the gov
ernment. There followed a number
of short conferences and meetings at
the national capital, and an impress
ive audience at the White House, with
President Wilson. As a result, the
organization was perfected and quai-
ters were found to house the offlcs
and routine part of its activities.
There Is a large council room in
which the regular gatherings of thv
committee will take place. Already
a number of Interested persons have
found their way Into Director Miller's
office and some have volunteered their
services in aid of the work. Within
a short time, the headquarters will too
a very busy place, and the delibera
tions which take place may be expect
ed to be of profound world importance.

"The - white soldier's father was
killed while fighting, to free the slaves
in bur Civil War, tho "Y" man's fath
er was a slave owner and the darkey's
grandfather was a slave. Here they

what do you call it?"
PATROLS CUT. DEEP
INTO GERMAN LINES.
With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 25 American
patrols early yesterday penetrated
deeply into the German lines in the
region of Grand Pre and north of
Verdun. The enemy has been using
his artillery and machine guns freely
along the entire front. There has
been little change in the situation
since last night.
Aerial activity yesterday was less
than on Wednesday when conditions
were almost ideal. The bright moon
light last night enabled American
aviators to bomb a large area, behind
the German lines. One of the Ameri
can bombing squadrons dropped 3,
077 kilograms of bombs on the Bois
de Barricourt and the Bois de Folia.
German aviators dropped bombs on
towns behind the American lines oc
cupied only by civilians and without
great military value.
' Boy scouts in Hamburg and other
German cities are being armed with
machine guns and are used frequently
In quelling strike outbreaks, accord
ing to information reaching vthe
American intelligence department.
Not more than 4,000 soldier ballots
have been received by the stafe sec
retary as yet, although approximate
ly 10,000 ballots have been sent out
so far. This does not, however, rep
resent the total soldier vote of the
state as ballots are stl11 teing sent
out and they are being received in
blocks of 50 and 100 at a time. It is
not believe'di that more than 50 per:
cent., of the soldier ballots will be re-!
turned, however. Most of the ballots
now being received are from the
American Expeditionary Forces over
seas and from the naval reserve forces
in European waters.

DEMOCRACY, THY
' SAME IS THE
AMERICAN ARMY!
The Tuillerles Garden in Paris was
the setting. An American baseball
game was in progress. Over at one
side of the-field three Americans in
uniforms were ignoring the game and
having a little game of their own.
"Look," said an American Captalr
of Artillery to a Major of French In
fantry by his side. "I guess if we
came over here to make the world
safe for democracy we have finished
the Job and can go home. You see
those three chaps playing ball over
there? I happen to know the whole
outfit. One of those men is an
American soldier and one is a darky
