Before - Xeske's advent as military dictator there was no revolution to speak of ImGer manay. The'revohrUon led by the 80 etalists of the middle and left wings was a minority affair. - Noeke suppressed it . wtth ease. In November, in January aitd In March the German workingmen . a a whole , were .not revolutionary. TJader the kaiser they- were allowed to organize ? into a large political party. .This party was as orderly poiithsat nit . within the German 'empire" worlds In , aa orderly and rather idealistic way for ; some future Socialist Utopia. It toeeu- pied about the same position la this life ' of the nation that the American national guard did In peace times. XESOHTS TO YIOLEJfCB J. fc. The inner politic of the former Raiser Wllhehn was distinguished by a patri archal benevolence which disarmed the revolution and left It a sort of contented hope cherished by the working class. The change front the kaiser to Noske, j how ever, dispelled this state of affairs. In order to preserve the military classes of Germany and to keep Intact the bank rupt ' capitalistic system - Noske was forced to resort to violence. The gresult has been a new born violence on the part of; the worklagmen." Bach of hip vic tories has served . only to Increase the . revolutionary sentiment In Germany. This sentiment, . It i must be under stood, did not exist on November 9, 1918, the date of the first "Gerroaa revo- j lution." Today all sides admit that the . German proletariat stands alrnoet as a bofly for the revolution, Members of . the German- government themselves ad t .. mit that they are no government 5of the .

He glasses and walks with slight stoop. ' Although he is the most violently! hated man in Germany by the masses lie does not give the Impression of a villainous ' despot 4 In fact X found him a clear ' headed man with a variety of cynical appreciation of himself and. the! aitua- tion. His own words and acts, however, beet give an idea of his character. In .1908 Noske entered the reichstag as a v member, of the Social Democratic party. ' Hehad prepared himself for the position . by editing a small newspaper in Prussia. He early allied himself with the re vielonlats," those f the Social fDemo f cratic party who desired to remove some ' of the Marxian Socialists frem the A party's ent- . ... i : s During the war he was s,' staunch supporter of the German rnilltarji party. In January. 191s, he mads a pech in the reichstag ta connection wtth the fa , tnous Baralong case. The Baraleng, an , Kngllsh ship, had siank a German U-boat " and according to German charges fired snott the U-boat crew in the water. "The English note on the Baralong ease ts the most disgraceful and -cynical cemmuni v caUon we have ever heard," Bald; Noske. ' -When one reads the German govern . ment answer one jisks if it could not n have been harder and, stronger." i . tICBSTA(3 CAREER , V. 1 I-;.V: ?

Again in May, 191. Noske is heard in the reichstag explaining : "Now is not the time for a debate en the war aims and therefore I do not wish to speak of that. ' If 11 is desirable and necessary our colonial possessions will be aug mented by; the peace" remarks which were hailed with acclaim by the pan Germans in the assembly. Later in July Noske declares: "The Socialists agree to the Bucharest treaty notwithstanding that it Is not tdeeL But ideal treaties are out of the question. Germany's life necessities ; come first. It is moat im portant that Ttoumania frivolity .should be Justly finished.'- s LXiriiS a;ojfts.K!r ; That same mqpth at the Social' Democ racy famous annual party day Noeke hurled, his annexationist speech and de fiance at the en ten te' peace overture. And finally rebuked byjHugo Hasse In Aptil in the new, Glman national as sembly for "barbarous violence against the working- men and' for issuing his medieval order to ' kill all men found with guns on their persons br in their homes and to arrest 'without warrants all men uepectedof political ideals not bis own, Noeke replied with the words "In such a dangerous situation as this one doss not bother about laws, if as you say What I do. is illegal. ' It is not the means but the results that count," ' Noske'a actsai ascendency to power begins with November 8, 191S. in Kiel." The governor ci iClei had appealed to the reichstag to send, a member of the German cabinet and the .Socialist party to the city to take care of the threaten thg marine riots. Noeke and ftaustnana, a member of the cabinet, were sent. On November 2 the riots began. Noske at ones organ! ted his famous iron marine brigade, recruited from - officers and aes. oiiicers 01 me navy. r;o revolu tionists were permitted in this brigade. Noske was no novice in military affairs.

It Is my prayer and prediction that you or your de scendants will head an army that will come overseas and whip the Huns and Magyars and bring real freedom and joy to the Alsatians. Frederick became the founder of the Pershing family in America and today the prayer and prophecy of his father have been answered and fulfilled. - Gen eral John J. Pershing, a descendant, commander of the American expedition ary forces, as predicted by the elder Frederick Pershing, commanded an army to victory over the Germans and has won real freedom and joy for the Al satian - - This Interesting bit of Pershing family history was revealed by members of the Pershing family who gathered here re cently , for a reunion.
