German Spokesman Attacks Allies and Blockade At Conference
The article critiques Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau's insolent stance at the peace talks and his claim that the blockade killed hundreds of thousands of noncombatants. It argues such figures are false, notes food shipments to Germany, and questions Allied responsibility. It also discusses Coxey's political proposals, direct elections, and the idea of a popular uprising, including enrollment at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Coxey Returns With Plan for National Labor March
Jacob Coxey proposes a new army drawn from ten percent of every labor organization to march on Washington if Congress fails to act within two weeks after a special session. He says only labor groups would take part, while warning legislation must serve the whole country, not a minority. The plan targets the American Federation of Labor and other unions as the core of this movement.
