FIGHTING RAGES
OVER BERLIN AS
FACTIONS CLASH
More Than 2,000 Lives Cost
of German Revolution tto
Date—Soviet Idea Spread
ing Through Nation.
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

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.”

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.

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.

Mrs. Smith and her daughter attend

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

How Her Husband Felt.
