OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1918,
S TO
BE
OUT OF
SERVICE EACH DAY
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. Discharge
tt soldiers on this side is expected to
roach a dally rate of 30,000 by the end
of this week or early next week. J
Machinery for demobilising them
tag been speeded up now that the ini
tial organization work is completed.
The system for releasing men, while
fairly Intricate, is in charge of experi
enced personnel officers at each camp
and cantonment, and no difficulty is
being experienced anywhere.
With the flow at 30,000 or better a
day, the new year should find more
than 1,000,000 men mustered out, both
in this country and aboard. The situ
ation with respect to demobilization
overseas is complicated by the tonnag
situation. England is understood to
desire to withdraw some of her trans
ports from the American service
quickly, hence this may slow up home
comings. The eight divisions already
ordered back should be under way
very soon, however.
Army men were of the opinion to
day that the 30 division limit on the
army of occupation would be quickly
reduced after the 13 divisions above
that limit are sent back. The German
army is unable to renew the war. It is
held here that probably few more men
than 30 divisiqns can adequately po
lice the Rhinelands.
The 30 divisions will be stripped of
certain auxiliary units unnecessary to
ociupaton, therfore it Is likely that the
strength of the remainder will not run
over 900,000 or 1,000,000.
SECRETARY M'ADOO IS
TO
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. William
Gibbs McAdoo, Secretary of the Treas
ury, director-general of railroads and
often discussed as one of the Presi
dential possibilities of 1920, has re
signed his office to return to private
business.
President Wilson has accepted his
resignation. Mr. McAdoo will give up
the Treasury portfolio as soon as a
successor has been selected. He wish
ed to lay down his work as director
general of railroads by January 1, but
will remain if the President has not
then chosen a successor.
Upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury, whoever he may be, will devolve
the task of financing the nation
through the transition period of war
to peace, which probably will Includ:
at least two more liberty loans and
possibly a further revision of the sys
tem of war tax.
Letters between President Wilson
and Mr. McAdoo, made public today
with the announcement of the resig
nation, give Mr. McAdoo's reasons for
leaving the Cabinet solely as a neces
sity for replenishing his personal for
tune and express the President's daep
regret at losing his son-in-law from
his official family.

U.S. BOYS ROUT REDS'
MEETING IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Nov. ?'. Hundred of
soldiers, sailors and marines broke
through a cordon of police surround
ing Madison Square Garden tonight
and attacked International Socialists,
who had attended a mass meeting at
whlctt Bolshevik doctrines were ex
pounded. The men and women leaving
the hall broke and fled as the men
In uniform charged past the police,
but were pursued Into the side streets
In all directions.
The attack on the Soltnclsts came
at tha close of a meeting which threat
ened from the moment it began to
break into a riot.
It was called ostensibly to protect
against the execution of Thomas J.
Mooney, but Scott Nenrlng, who pre
sided, and the other speakers devoted
most of their attention to pleas for
the release of "political offenders."
Several men and women were ar
rested for displaying red flags smug
gled into the garden lu dellnnce of
an edict by Mayor Hylan. Large
numbers of men in uniform entered
the building before the doors were
lin ked with the avowed determination
of preventing attacks upon the Gov
ernment. They were restrained with
difficulty by police and detectives
from making an assault on the stage.
Scores of fist fights were Interrupted
by officers.
Soldiers and sailors who were un
able to get into the meeting sent out
patrols to round up all the men in
uniform who could be found. Madison
Square was the rallying point for the
military. They were cheered by men
in uniform and clvlllxans. When some
one called up "loyal Amercans' to
charge the garden and attack the In
ternationalists several hundred res
ponded. They wen driven bsck, how
ever, by mounted police. Realizing
that they had failed in the first fight
the soldiers and saliors resumed their
meeting and awaited the arrival of re
inforcements, probably 1000 men of
both branches of the servce were as
sembled by the time the meeting ad
journed. The opening of the doors of the
Garden was the signal for a second
charge which the police were unable
to repel. The soldiers and sailors
fought their way past swinging night
sticks and attacked the Socallsts.
Mounted police, reinforced by auto
mobile loads of reserves, rushed from
every station house within a radius
of miles, struggled vallnantly to clear
the square, but made little progress.

Wilson's actions In Inking over control
and operatioit of marine cable systems
(fml express agencies was victoriously
criticised today In the Senate by Rep
utillran Senators, who suld It was part
of a plan to establish permanent gov
n'lnuent ownership.
The speakers were Sennlor Watson
of Indiana, Kellogg of Minnesota and
Sherman of Illinois,
The President was criticised for his
decision to go to Europe, and (loorgn
Creel, chairman of the committee on
puhlln information, who, it tins been
reported, Is to accompany the Prsl- .
dent, wus also attacked,
Senator Watson denounced the Pres.
Ideal's net Ion In taking over cable
lines as a broach of faith, and charged
that llielr control was lnplrvd by a
desire for government censorship of
dtspay iuts during the peace confer
ence, so that the representatives of the
Europesn nations al the peace table
may not know what Is being said In
the American Congress about the con
ference, In the midst of the debate Senator
Lewis, of Illinois, the Democratic
whip, sought to reply to the Republic
an Senators, but did not get recogni
tion, He did. however, offr a resolu
tion which would put Congress on rec
ord as favoring government owner

WANT M'ADOO
FOR DIRECTOR
WASHINGTON", Nov. JC.-Kinployea
of railroads operating out of St. Louis
have "chipped In" to keep Wllllata Mc
Adoo on the Job as director general
of railroads. They telegraphed Mc
Adoo today tlmt tbey had pledged
themselves for $2000 per month ss
part of bis salary.
"Employes of the various railroads
operating out of St. Louis pledye
themselves for $2000 per month as prrt
of your salary," the telegram said.
"We are opposed to your reslKnaH'in
and are heartily in sympathy with
your financial straits."
The telegram was signed by Q. M.
Sumner ef the Missouri Pacific and II.
J. Garrlgan and J. 11. Klrkland, both
of the Wabash.
The elimination of Bernard Pa
ruch as a possible successor to Secre
try of the Treasury McAdoo, and evi
dence that friends of John Skolton
Williams are active in his behalf as
director general of railroads were the
outstanding features of the develop
ments In circles concerned with the
consideration of changes which the
McAdoo resignation make necessary.
ITICAL SIT
Yl
' LONDON, Nov. 25.-The whole con
trol of Germany is now In the hands
of the Berlin workmen's and soldiers'
council and a proclamation to that ef
fect has been Issued.
Latent reports from Germany Indi
cate that the Internal situation there
has reached a critical stage.
The proclamation states that the
council at Berlin will provisionally
govern Germany In order to suppress
all counter revolutionary attempts
and a congress of workmen and sol
diets will be summoned as soon as pos
sible, though at present there is no
talk about a nutlonal assembly.
The decision has cause tremendous
excitement throughout Gormnny and
the final result Is that an Independent
republic has been' formed In Northern
Germany with Hamburg as the capital.
This republic includes Oldonbburg,
East Frlesland, Bremen, Hamburg and
Schlawslg-llolstoln.
South Germany Wurtemburg and
Baden, as well as Bavaria are de
claring they will not submit to the
terrorism of the dictators In Berlin,
who have replaced the kaiser and mili
tarism. It appears also that tlu cry, "Away
from Berlin," is being raised even in
Prussia itself, especially us the feeling
Is gaining ground that the tyranny-exerted
by the rulers In Berlin may
shortly b supported by revolutiona-y
militarism . '
