German Coup. (Chicago Herald.) It is perfectly plain why Germany spaced Petrograd. It' was nnneoessary to take it. She had allies in that city working under the cover of Russian patriotism to forward her plans more powerfully than the city's capture would have done. The Maximalist overthrow of tne Kerensky government is a distinctly German coup d'etat.

The proposition has been received with enthusiasm by women artists, and it is felt that the only drawback is the Inability to Obtain an instructor from the government before next! spring, ir, However, mere is evidence of the desire of a large number of women to join the camp, it is thought the war department may spare one of its men now, and as those already en rolled do not wish to wait until spring before starting work, an attempt is being made to enlist as large a number as that an instructor may be obtained. There is no age limit; for volunteers. The only requirements are that they must have had training in landscape, mural or scene painting or in sculp- i ture. The individual expenses while in camp win amount to approximately 50. It iia thought probable that the camouflage work done by women will.

Meanwhile it is urged that applicants experiment alone by applying house paint, in landscape colors, to big pieces of sailcloth or canvas In order that they may take the canvas some distance away, against trees, bushes or some natural background, and see how nearly it can be made to disappear. The present enlistment consists of about seventy-five women, and others are being enrolled at the rate of from one to four a day.

Democratic leader in Chicago, proposes a CHIEF MARTIN'S RETIREMENT. A LTHOUGH anticipated for the past several days, the announce- ment by Chief of Police John Martin that he will retire at the expiration of the year was no doubt received with no little surprise by the general public. Those close to the chief knew he had such a plan in mind, but until he announced it himself no person was taken into his confidence. He would neither affirm or deny the rumor as late as Saturday afternoon. Chief Martin has been at the head of the department for two years, having been appointed by the new council to succeed Chief Regan, who retired.

He has been a member of th department more. than, fbrty years and has one of the best records among all who have served to leave behind when he retires. His action is regretted by the members of the whole force for he has been one o'fthe best chiefs in the history of the department. He has been fair to all and has shown partiality to none. All he asked was that a man do his duty.

He steps out with the good will of the people and the best wishes of his men to smooth his fusion of the Democratic and Republican parties in Chicago and Illinois during the war. He would have the two parties unite on loal candidates for United States senator and mayor of Chicago. Between the loyalty of the Democratic and Republican parties there is no difference. The disloyalty of the Socialist party is a matter of platform record and daily proclamation by its spokesmen. That party for the, moment is reinforced, by all the spiteful, seditious and i e.

treasonable elements of a polyglot While there may be no danger second, or even a close third in a three-cornered race, the proposition of fusion is attractive. It would at least show Democratic and Republican partisanship subordinated to unity in a national peril. Fusion in Wisconsin, where the need for overwhelming of La Folletteism is plain, is even more attractive than in Illinois. future course.

Home in NOTABLE BIRTHDAYS TODAY.

November' 12. William Collier, one of the best known comedians of the American stage, was born in New York city forty-nine years ago today. His parents were members of the theatrical profession. At the age of ten years William ran away from home to join a juvenile "Pinafore" company. After a season with this organization he returned home and spent the next two years in scnool.

Then he became call boy at Daly's theater and for six years filled this position and acted as under -study for Juvenile roles. His work at Daly's was followed by a season at the Chcago Opera house, following which he returned to New York and joined a comedy company that included Hay Irwin. Charles Reed and other well-known players. After several years of experience in this line he launched forth as a star in a farce comedy of his own Then came "The Man JTrom Mexico in which he made his first pro-. notmced success.

Since that time Mr. Collier has won popular favor in numerous farce comedies, including "My yrlend From India." The Diplomat," "On the Quiet," "Caught tn the Bain," and 'Say Die." CONGRATULATIONS TO: Cecil Chesterton, noted English journalist, thirty-eight years old today. Ma J. Gen. Frederick S.

DURING the first Liberty bond campaign it was found necessary to explain 4o an astonishing number that they were asked to loan, not to give, their money to the government.

Theater ticket sellers are now finding it necessary to explain to manv that the tax on theater tickets is not their individual rake-off Don't endure that itching Heal it with Keslnol but revenue that goes into the United States treasury. The tax in fact has been mistaken by many for an increase in price of theater tickets Having seized control of Petrograd, however, Lenine and his fellow plotters do not practice the gentleness by which they profited. All of Kerensky'a ministers who could be found have been seized and lodged in solitary confinement in, the SS. Peter and Paul fortress. The revolutionists who have the ministers in their power are quite capable of narsher- treatment to retain their grip if they deem it necessary.

Their mercy is likely to be short to those they consider a menace to their regime.
