U. S. Ignorant of
French Situation
So Claims Alsaee Statehinan
on Return from Visit to
America.
Paris, Dec. 1. "The I'nited .Slates
knows nothing of our situation," says
Gen. Taufflleb, who has Just returned
from America, Jn his report to the
senate committee on foreign affair
ha tells of his warm welcome In oil
parte of tho country, "even in Mil
waukee," to quote the general.
(Jen. Taufflieb is senator from the
Has Khin. He regrets having found
the I'nited States In complete Ignor
ance of the situation in France. Ik
was pained to find that the neds of
the devastated regions and the finan
cial state of France are known to
few Americans.
".""ranee's militarism is greatly crit
icized. There is no permanent mili
tary system in America," continues
the general, "and It is certain that
the Washington conference has left
a bad impression.
"All this has been used against
us by Herman propagandists, and
there is no propaganda, service main
tained by France In America. The German-Americans
have joined with the
Irish. The result is a strong cam
paign in favor of the Independence of
Alsace and Lorraine. My presence as
senator from Alsace and my hearty
protests against such propaganda had
made a good impression.
"Tehere is but one tiling to do to
counteract this situation, and that is
the founding of a bureau of propa
ganda in the Culled States. The of
fice should be accurately Informed
that it may anwr officially all iues
tions asked. There should also be a
semi official office for the information
of the press."

Cernians Planning
War of Revenge,
Rumor in Ixmdon

Russian Resources
Work Under Way.
London, Dec. !.- (Hy A. P.b-The
Germans are actively planning a war
of revenge, chiefly against France,
for which purpose they have con
cluded a secret military agreement
with Itussla, Is the main point of a
"memorandum by a t"'fon In close
touch with tho best Informed German
circles in Ib-rlln and Munich," com
municated to tho Dally Mall, which
display It under big headlines.
The paper claims to have made ex
haustive inquiries in Germany, Lon
don and Paris info the memorandum's
accuracy, with the result, the, Mall
says, that It has been very largely
supported.
Except for precise details, the Mall's
story does not dlfTer materially from
slmllur atatements printed from time
to time In anti-Merman papers.
I'se Kussian Resource.
The memorandum particularize
with respect to alleged arrangements
to enable Germany to utilize Russia'
resources, Including complete Internal
reorganization, which will make Una
la capable of supporting both Itself
and Germany, so that Germany may
Ignore any sea blockade.
It say that German armament firms
will establish factories In Russia,
whose armies will be equipped thereby,
and submarine and mine layers will
be built In Russian dockyard under
German guidance and manned by Kus
alan crewa under German officers.
Poland is to be crushed and annexed
by Russia, so a to give Russia and
Oermanj' a common frontier.
Officers In Itussla.
The Mall claJms that It inquiries
regarding the memorandum have
elicited the fact that 600 German of
ficer are now In Moscow carrying out
tho conditions of the secret agreement;
that many engineer from Krupps
have begun the reorganization of Rus
sian munitions works, while German
engineers are also reconditioning the
Russian railroads to the Polish front.
Proof, says the Mail, has been ob
tained by the alllea that the German
are delivering large number of air
plane to the Russian government, one
firm dlstpatcliing commercial air
plane to Smolensk, where they are
converted Into mllltai-y machines.
Further statements deal with alleged
constant and surreptitious military
training of German youths, similar to
war preparation.

(Jeiierous Persons (Jive Thanks
ly Contributing to The
Omaha Ret Free
Shoe Fund.
BkHslngg that one enjoy should
make one puss on tbe good thing tn
those less fortunate.
Many, on Thanksgiving Ohy, re
membered the shivering little boys
and girls In home of indescribable
wretched ness. Contributions came in
to tho Free Shoe fund of The Omaha
Rec.
Put. the line of wan-faced Utile one
lengthens, livery bit of money ob
tainable Is needed.
Every dollar you give goes to this
purpose. Noliody gets a cent of
"rakeofr." Nobody draws a salary
from this fund nor a commission. Yet
each case ia carefully investigated be
fore the order for shoes is given. Thlrt
Is done by the child's tencher and she
does it without pay.
Isn't that the Ideal charily arrange
