Germany's movement toward radi calism has grown beyond the control of the government, today's dispatches indicated. Many of the country's principal cities are in the hands of commun ists. Hundreds of lives have been lost in violent fighting. The Ebert government, one dis patch said, in an effort to stem the rising tide of bolshevism, has granted the demands of the workers. This dispatch said the leaders ct the gen eral strike movement h id ordered its end. There was indication, however, that the radicals have passed beyond con trol of their own leaders as well as the government. It seemed doubt ful if the mere order to end the strike will have much effect on the people. Berlin, Marcli 19.—Since noon fir ing has occurred in various parts of the city. It is reported that the se curity police arc shooting down all officers of the Baltic troops remain ing in Berlin. llnter Den Linden bristled today with barbed wire and the hotel Adlon was thoroughly screened with it and guarded with troops. Wild rumors arc afloat, becoming grotesquely magnified in circulation. The inner city streets are seeth ing with excited people. Disorders are occurring in the suburban dis tricts. There is a conspicuous ab sence of troops in the workingmen's dwelling districts where agitators are feverishly busy. Social democrat artillery was re ported moving toward Supl. Troops armed with machine guns and flame throwers, a dispatch said, left Un terkirchen, near Stuttgart, for the disturbed areas in Westphalia. Armed workmen were said to oc cupy the great part of Westphalia including the Ruhr industrial dis tricts. Armed forces of radicals also were reported in control of Bitterfeld, Langen-Salza and Meihingen. The situation was reported acute, with armed conflict imminent, in Muenster," Biemen, Thuringia and Mecklenburg. lAeitv cnnlnlicitfl In Berlin the majority socialism have demanded of the government immediate disarming oE all troops and other concessions, includihg par ticipating in the government. Heavy Loss of Life. It was impossible to obtain tele phone connections outside Berlin but motorists who came through the sub urbs said that citizens in Schoenberg yesterday captured a truck loaded with retreating Von Kapp insurrec tionary troops and massacred them. The dead were variously reported at from 50 to 100 with more than 200 wounded. It is estimated that more than 2,000 have been killed to date since the revolution started. Scores were killed or wounded in yesterday's- lighting in Berlin. Fight ing was especially severe near the Brandenburg gate and the Adlon ho tel. Additional fighting took place at 11 a. m. today near the hotel but so far as could be learned none was killed. One apparently reliable report said that President ISbert arrived secretly in the capital last night, accompanied by Philip Scheidemann, the majority socialist leader. Scheidemann, it was said, will be entrusted with reorgan ization of the cabinet. The Hotel Adlon, headquarters for most of the foreign missions and resi dence of the American correspond ents, today still bore the appeuran s of an army hospital in the field. The lower corridors were spattered with blood from wounded who were carried into the hotel after last night's fight ing. As the Baltic troops marched by the hotel they were jeered by a crowd which had gathered in front of the building. At tirst the troops responded by firing several volleys in the air. Then .suddenly they began shooting into the crowd. Newspapermen, many American of ficials and several American women watched the fighting from windows of upper floors. They saw soldiers leap from the ranks and deliberately shoot down citizens on the sidewalks. Other troops poured volley after volley into the fleeing crowd. Dead and wounded lay in the streets. The slaughter lasted about three minutes. Several American women watched the entire spectacle and hurried be low to aid in -caring for the wounded after the troops had marched on. Dead and wounded were brought into the Adlon. Surgeons hurriedly cared for the injured. Government forces marched into the city at 4:30 p. m. Berlin today continued to live in fear that the infuriated Baltic troops will return. It was said they will re fuse disarmament and decline to be split into companies and scattered to different posts, as Defense Minister Noske had planned. THIEVESSTEEL AUTO genlwood RODE IN Brookings, S. D., March 22.—Auto mobile thieves are no respectors of persons. Last night the car in which General Wood and his wife had gone to the college, where he spoke, was stolen during the specb and it was necessary for them to make a long walk afterwards to reach a place where a reception was given. General Wood hsa been informed by Baron Romano Avenzzana, Italian ambassador at Washington, that the king of Italy has conferred upon him the cross of grand officer of Saints Mauritius and Lazarus as an appre ciation of his efforts to promote good feeling between the United States Iand Italy. This is one of the high •at Italian military orders. I TREATY COMMENT. ♦ World.—The commanding pres tige that the United States won in the war has been frittered away, and the country, after all Its superb achievements, stands before the world today discredited and without a real friend. Times.—Mr. Lodge might at any time have secured ratification with reservations sufficient for every reasonable purpose, ratifi cations not obviously intended as dagger thrusts. He has been beaten at his own game, a most despicable, deadly game and up on him, as leader of the republi can majority, the actual respon sibility falls and will rest. Tribune.—The treaty's defeat is a tragedy whose poignancy is intensified by the sordidness' of the final scent. The country be holds the president wrecking a great undertaking for no better reason than because he could not unconstitutionally have his way. Boston Post.—What next? Will the president at once move to ne gotiate a separate treaty with Germany or will he hold the whole matter in abeyance until next fall to become a campaign issue? Something must surely be done to end the grotesque situ ation in which we now are. Cleveland Plain Dealer.—Obvi ously the Senate and the presi dent must continue as partners in the matter of peace making. The constitution sees to that. The country is weary of pseudo peace. It is weary of deadlocks. NOWJSJljS TIME Political Washington Waiting Breathless For Next Move on Treaty From the White House. Washington, March 22.—If Presi dent Wilson Is to run for a third term on the issue of treaty ratification now is the psychological time for him to make it known, in the opinion today of close political observers in Wash ington. The White House is being anxious ly watched by democratic party lead ers for some .indication of what the president will do, now that the Senate has returned the treaty to him. Of ficials of the party organization pri vately profess to believe there is no chance of Wilson becoming a candi date on a ratification platform. But it is considered significant that no definite word has come from the ex ecutive mansion and members of the president's household refuse even to talk about it. A public declaration is expected soon. In that message to the peo ple of the United States, the presi dent is expected to announce that the treaty is in the campaign and that he will not abandon the idea of hav ing a real League of Nations with America in it and that he will await with confidence the verdict of the voters in November. Those who believe Wilson may run again argue it is' logical for him to come forward now as the one candi date whose election would mean be yond a doubt that the people demand ratification. His health is the biggest obstacle, according to those close to the White House. Persons who know him and traveled with him on his speaking tour last fall believe that the importance of treaty ratification transcends everything, in his esti mation. He considers the treaty is greater than politics or third term traditions. If he feels that such a step would assure ratificatiton he would be strongly impelled to enter the arena to clarify the issue in the cam paign his friends say. At the very least he is expected to get into the fight to the extent of attempting to dictate a treaty plank for the demo cratic platform, and designating some candidate to make the race on that principle, as a "Wilson man.” MINERS PLAN BIG STRIKE Peoria, 111., March 22—-The unquali fied support of 90,000 Illinois minora through representatives in session here today gave unqualified support of State President Alexander Howat, of Kansas, today, when he announced a progranj for the launching of a gen eral miners,' strike in Kansas in de fiance of state laws there, which are said to now prohibit strikes of any nature. Howat was one of the lead ers of the coal miners ecently cited for contempt by Fcdeal Judge An derson, at Indianapolis. ARCHDUCHESS VALERIE QUITSJiAPSBURG Vienna, March 22,--Former Arch duchess Marie Valerie, granddaugh ter of the late Emperor Francis Jo seph. has renounced her membership in the house of Hapsburg and has given up all her prerogatives attached to her former position. She did this in order that she might become a citi zen of the Austiran republic. FLOOD AT MILES CITY.

Five hundred head of eattlo belonging to A. G. Pemberton per ished by drowning on the lowland*. NEWBERRY FOUND GUILTY WITH IB ofrisuelpers Verdict Comes as Surprise Be- j fore Noou Today—Sentences Will Be Pronounced This Afternoon. Grand Rapids, Mich., March 22. —U. S.

Grand Rapids, Mich., March 22.— Senate r Truman H. Newberry and 16 of l.is 84 co-defendants were found guilty of criminal conspiracy In the 1918 senatorial election by a Jury In tile United States district court here today.

"Father will not resign from the United States Senate,” Phelps New berryfl son of Senator Newbury, stated. The senator said he would have a formal statement later in the day. History of Case. The "Newberry case” grew out of one of the bitterest campaigns ever waged for a seat in the United States Senate. Truman H. Newberry and Henry Ford were the leading contestants. Newberry, a member of one of Michigan’s oldest and, before the au tomobile industry hit Detroit, wealth iest families; a member of the navy during the Spanish-American war, assistant secretary of the navy in Roosevelt’s cabinet and an aide to the commander of the port of New YOfk during the world war, based his appeal for election on a war plat form. Ford for Wilson. Ford, head of the Ford Automobile Company, head of the Ford peace shiu and before the United States entered the war, leading pacifist, built his platform on support of President Wil son's policies. The Newberry supporters built up a huge organization entering into every county, city and village in the state. By their own admission $rj8, ^000 was spent. The government at torneys contended that they had showed $225,000 was paid out to pur chase “a seat in the Senate” for Com mander Newberry. Testimony given at the trial stated one defendant in a conversation said $800,000 was spent. Paul H. King headed the Newberry campaign committee in Michigan. The government claimed that Sena tor Newberry and Frederick Cody hatched the alleged plot to corrupt the 1918 elections in Michigan while they resided in New York. Newberry worked directly through King in car rying out the details of the campaign, the government contended. The case hinged on the question of whether or not Senator Newberry "caused to be expended" an amount in excess of the sum allowed by the Michigan statutes in procuring his election. This amount is $3,750. The defense contended that New berry had nothing to do with the spending of the large sum of money; declared that he did not contribute 1 cent to the campaign fund and was not informed of the huge amounts spent in his behalf during the cam paign. A grand jury summoned in the au tumn of 1919 returned indictments accusing 135 men of conspiracy to violate the federal statutes by spend ing an excessive amount of money in the campaign. A conspiracy to de fraud the whole state of Michigan by using the mails in the alleged fraudulent election scheme was also charged. These were the two main accusa tions which went before the jury. Four other indictments were either quashed or combined with these two principal charges. The trial covered a period of eight weks. More than 400 witnesses testi fied for the government and approxi mately 250 for the defense. IN ECLIPSE NOW. Chicago, March 22.—A. R. Moon, was on the wane financially.

KING HAD SOME IMAGINATION Wonderful Story of “Waterless Sea” Would Have Done Credit to Baron Munchausen. I’rester John as a title was like the Egyptian Phnraoh and belonged to whole lines of king who reigned In the East and In Ethiopia in particular. One writer of long ago sets Abyssinia as the kingdom of Prester John. Abys sinia used'to be called "Middle Iudla.” It is related that before the year 1241 a letter was addressed by Prester John to Manuel Commenus, emperor of Constantinople, saying that in Pres ter John’s country there is a “water less sea,” which none have ever crossed. It consists of tumbling bil lows of sand, never at rest, and con tains fish of most excellent flavoi. Three days’ Journey from the coast of the sand sea is a mountain whence rolls down a “waterless river,” con sisting of small stones, which crumble Into snnd when they reach the sea. Whoever Prester John may have been, if he invented that story, he certuinly possessed a vivid imagina tion and considerable originality. The less a man knows about politics the more angry he gets in a political argument. Work! Work! that Is my unfailing cure for all troubles.—Lydia Maria Child. Safety First. Mrs. Smith and her daughter attend ed the movie. On entering they found It vory dark. The daughter, taking the lead, found seats No. 2 and 3, about midway In the balcony. The man la seat No. 1 stood up to let the two pass, and when they had entered the row the mother thought she was falling and reached her hand forward to catch herself. The man, still standing, said to the mother: “Lady, you have your linnd on that man’s head." Drawing her hand back with sur prise, she turned to the speaker and said: “Oh, I thought it wns a post, for It shone like that post up there.” After seating herself site addressed her daughter In a loud voice, and said: “I put my band right on that mnn's head,” pointing to a man In the row below. Much laughter followed and many lost^ interest in the rest of th# film. How Her Husband Felt. “Has my husband appeared to miss mo during the month I have been away, Mary?" “Well, ma’am, at first he seemed in very high spirits, but toward the end of tho time he became less cheerful, and yesterday, ma'am, he was just miserable.”—New Tork Evening 1’ost.
