ment has been reached between the
German soldiers' and workmen's
vcojncil and the' government, it is of
ficially announced in Berlin.
The agreement provides:
"First All political power is to

and develop what has been accom
I plished by the revolution and to sup

To Overthrow Ebert.
London, Nov. 25. This morniing's
London newspapers display promi
nently the German advices regard-
tug the agreement between the sol
diers' and workmen's council and
n the government, which is regarded,
is a development of the greatest im-
portance and tantamount to t!:e
overthrow, of the Ebert-Haase com
bination and the adoption, at least
theoretically, of the existing Russian
system. ; - ,
It is admitted that the German
councils have not yet developed the
extravagances which led to the dis
integration and anarchy in Russia,
the councils not being dominated by
the bolshevik element.
The Daily Mail, while pointing out
the analogy to the developments in
Russia, suggests that the new step
is a part of a "big bluff" aimed at
persuading the allies that the old
Germany is defunct.
The Daily Express also thinks the
menace is possibly exaggerated for
the purpose of impressing the allies
of .the difficulties of the position.
People to Rule.
Berlin, Viu Amsterdam, Nov. 25.
Chancellor Ebert and the council of
the , people's commissioners wel
comed the returning troops with a
proclamation saying among other
things:
("You marched into the field for
the "fatherland when you had nothing
to say and a handful of autocrats had
the power in their hands and distrib
' uted the booty among themselves.
You had to fight in silence. while
hundreds of thousands at your side
had to die. Today you return to
your own country, where in the fu
ture only the people themselves will
have anything to say."
Suit to Test Right
to Raise Car Fares
and Men's Wages
N Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 25.
' Whether the National War Labor
board has power to make wage
awards and whether the federal
court has authority to increase street
v car rates to put into effect the award,
are to be decided at a hearing which
began in the federal court here to-
day on the Kansas City railway
company's application for an injunc
tion to prevent interference to an in
crease in car fares.! ;
The ruling, it is said, not only will
ffect street car companies through
out the country but also will have a
, bearing on various other wage
awards granted by the War Labfcr
board,
, The contention of Kansas City, as
r expressed formally by he city coun
sellor, is that the federal court has
no jurisdiction in fixing rates and
that Ihe War Labor board cannot
, bind the city to increased fares.
The street railway company seeks
to increase its fares from 6 to 8
cents in order to be able to meet the !
award of the labor board, increasing ;
the pay of its employes. ,

Ships Only Limit.
Before General March's announce
ment, Secretary Baker discussed
with newspaper correspondents the
return of American troops from
France. Their homewajd move
ments, he said is dependent almost
entirely upon the limitation of trans
portation facilities both at sea and in
France. ,
Besides employing in this work
the German liners seized in this
country, Dutch vessels taken over
and all other available transports
Mr. Baker said some part of the'
Brtish transport tonnage employed
in carrying troops to France will
continue to be used in getting the
men home, He pointed out, how
ever, that Great Britain will need
many of her ships to carry home
Canadian, Australian New Zealand
and other colonial forces which have
been in France longer than the
American armies.
Big Liners in Service.
The secretary said that the great
British liners Mauretania, Olympic
and Aquitania have been in the
American transport service for a
year and that the Mauretania still is
so engaged. i
He could not say whether the
.other two had been withdrawn.
German liners now in German
ports, Mr. Baker said, may offer a
means of expediting the return of the
American forces. Present plans are
to use these vesels to carry food
to Germany and the secretary said it
might be found possible to make
some arrangement under which some
of General Pershing's men could
be sent home on them. Before sail
ing for Europe to arange for the re
turn of the troops, Chairman Hurley
of the shipping board said it was the
purpdse'to use ships now idle in Ger
man ports. Mr. Baker, however,
did not indicate today that any def
inite steps to that end have yet been
taken.
With the removal of the sebmar
ine menance the war secretry said
it will be possible to bring home
many soldiers in cargo vesels. The
shipping board is commissioning
many such vessels from day to day,
and they will be added to the fleet
available for the return of the army.
Bring'Sick Home First.
For the next several weeks, Mr.
Baker expects returning troops to
be laden entirely with sick ana
wounded men and those not im
mediately available for military ser.

discharged from hospitals in France,
but who have not fully recovered
their strength. They will be organiz

Yield from 1920 Revenue
i Will Be $4,000,000,000
B Washington, Nov. 25. By a strict
party vote the senate finance com
mittee tonight decided to recom
mend that the yield from the 1920
revenue bill be limited to $4,000,000
000. Ten democratic members,
who voted for the amount suggested
by Secretary McAdoo, were opposed
by the seven republicans.
Before adopting the $4,000,000,000
limit, the committee voted down a
proposal by Senator Gore of Okla
homa, democrat, to leave the $6,000
000,000 bill of 1919 unchanged for
1920 and use the $2,000,000,000 sur
plus for paying outstanding govern
ment obligations. The vote was 9
to 8, Senator Gore joining with the
3even republican members.

in the world was formally opened
here today. Teethe 5Q0 wounded
men who made up the first contin
gent of patients there will be
added 250 during the day and

100 to 150 men with the requisite
number of 'officers and will be sent
to designated campj to be muster
ed out. It is assuined that efforts
will be made in France to put into
each provisional company men from
the same general locality in the Uni
ted States in order to ease the de
mobilization transportation problem
on this side.
Secretary Baker, also revealed to
day that agenerol principle to govern-
the payment to be made to
Great Britian for services rendered
by her transport fleet or cargo
craft in transporting or supplying
American forces has been reached.
He said in conference with Lord
Reading, the British ambassador it
had been agreed that payment to be
made by either government to the
other for such service would be
made on the basis that no profit was
to accrue to either Great Britian or
the United States.
National U. W. W. Fund
Oversubscribed Over
Thirty-two Millions
. s I
New York, Nov. 25. Total sub
scriptions to the United War Work
campaign was $203,179,038, cr $32,
679,038 in excess of the amount
originally asked by the seven war
relief organizations for their work
during the demobilization of the
army and navy, according to an of
fical announcement tonight by the
national campaign committee. This
is the largest sum ever raised as an
outright gift in the history of the
world.
According to the committee every
state in the union, with the e:.cep
tjon Of Pennsylvania and Minnesota,
exceeded its quota and confidence
was expressed that these states will
be "over the top" when returns from
Philadelphia and Minneapolis are
in. Philadelphia a "war chest" city,
has not yet made an appropriation
to the fund, while Minneapolis post
poned its drive until next month.
John D. Rockefeller and John D.
Rockefeller, jr., 'who had under

California War Attorney
Resigns on Account of Pay
San Francisco, Nov. 25. Caspar
Ornbaun, special war attorney, has
filed his resignation today by John
W. Preston, special assistant to the
attorney general of the United
States, effective at any -time within
90 days after December 1. Orn
baun said that while he considered
it a duty to carry on the espionage
act presecution in which, he was
engaged while the war continued,
the salary of $3,000 a year attached
to the post was inadequate and that
he now felt the sacrifice was un
necessary, i , "
SOCIALISTS WHO
MAKE 'RED' TALKS
ARE RIOT VICTIMS
(Continued From Fare One.)
tionalists and many of thern suo
ceeded.
The square was cleared of milling
men only when socialists by ones
and twos and m groups broke and
fled. The scrimmage in the park
then was carried on a smaller scale
into every neighboring street.
Groups of socialists soon were
running along Fifth avenue a half
mile north and south of Twenty
sixth street, pursued by shouting
uniformed men, most of them hat
less and coatless. '
Take Neckties for Souvenirs.
When they went to the meet
ing the men, almost without excep
tion, wore red neckties because red
flags were under official ban. These
red ties, were the special mark of
soldiers' and sailors. After the fight
they were cherished as souvenirs.
Hundreds of the socialists were
beaten, but so far as could be
learned none was seriously hurt.
The police had the situation well
in hand half an hour after the close
of the meeting and the street was
cleared except for stragglers.
United States Marshal McCarthy
and police inspectors were inclined
to blame the uniformed men for the
trouble. They declared the meet
ing would have proceeded peace
fully enough, in spite of the more
or less explosive speeches, had it
not been for the soldiers and sail
ors. .
Police Seize Red Flags.
The atmosphere in the Gerden
was tense long before Nearing op
ened the meeting. Pandemonium
broke loose when the band, after
playing the Star Spangled Banner
and the "Marseillaise" swung into
the "International" and a Russian
revolutionary song. Shouts of "Long
Live the International," were fol
lowed by booing and hissing, when
the police, seizing red flags sud
denly displayed, marched their own
ers from the auditorium. Then
minor but simultaneous conflicts
broke out in various parts of the
hall.
All the speakers pleaded with the
audience to remain calm, Nearing
stating that there were persons pres
ent only too eager to disrupt" the
meeting.
These warnings, however, were
disregarded whenever the red flag
made its appearance.
After Nearing predicted "a bitter
taste of job hunting this winter, and
assailed the "capitalistic press" and
other "indications of plutocracy" he
raised a deafening applause when he
said:
"During the next 10 days Mr.
Wilson will go to Europe to use his
efforts to make the world safe for
democracy. At least we may ask
Mr. Wilson to grant a general par
don to all political and class war
frisoners before he sails for
urope."
Then a red flag, bearing in white
letters the words "withdraw allied
troops 4fom Russia" was dropped
from the balcony and after this had
been removed and two more dis
played from another part of the
balcony, marines and sailors, form
ing a flying wedge, rushed down the
main aisle and past the police' up
into the balcony. From the outside

Adopt Resolutions
Two resolutions were adopted at
the meeting. The first endorsed
"the plan of action suggested by
organized labor bodies on the Paci
fic coast" to prevent "Tom" Mooney
from hanging. The second extended
"our fraternal greetings to the so
cialists of Germany" protested
against armed intervention "in the
internal affairs of the German peo
ple," demanded the return of Ameri

territory and pledged the audience
to work with devotion and fervor

America takes its place among the

President Wilson
to Visit England on
- His Way to France
New York, Nov. 25. From prepa
rations being made in England for
his reception, it is generally believed
President Wilson will go to that
country to sfay several days before
continuing to Paris. It is known
that several representatives of the
government have preceded him to
England to arrange for his stay
there.
There has been no announcement
as to what the president will use in
making the voyage. It was said at
first that he would cross on the
former North German-Lloyd liner
Kaiser Wilhelm, which had a special
suite for the kaiser. When prepara
tions for the use of this ship were
underway, however, there was a
change of plans and it now is said
he will cross on George Washington,
another former German liner seized
in an American port when this na
tion entered the war.
