Would-be Minigtress'of
War Under Spartacan Rule
v Tells of Dreams of Reds
Rosa Luxemburg Is Opposed to World's League, Aims
a Russo-German Alliance; Fears Red Revolt Can
not be Spread Into England and France; Is
Originator of Bolshevik Movement.
An Associated Press report,
received today states that both
Rosa Luxemburg, and Dr. Karl
Liebknecht have been killed, fol
lowing the recent ultra-extreme
riots in Berlin. . , t
By UNIVERSAL SERVICE.
(Special Cable Dispatch)
Copenhagen, Jan. 17. Who is
Rosa Luxemburg?
A stray copy of Liebknecht's of
ficial organ, Dip Rote Fahne, (The
Red Flag), which was slipped across
the German border, escaping the
nostal frontier watchdogs of the
Ebert Kovernment, enables Univer
sal Service to present exclusively an
intimate picture ot - Kea Kosa,
Liebknecht's petticoated chief ad
jutant in the Spartacan revolt
It is revealed for the Jirst time
that this woman, who is one 'of the
picturesque, if abhorrent, figures
n the bloody upheaval in Berlin,
s an old, old hand at making revo
utions; that she was the brains of
the great Russian revolts in 1905
and 1906; that she is a master strate
gist in plotting wholesale murder,
and that Liebknecht had slated her
for the war ministry in the cabinet
which he meant to head if his
movement had been successful.
In her obscure flat, on the fifth
story of a tenement in darkest Ber-
m, Comrade Kosa Luxemburg
received The Rote Fahne's corre
spondent. A divan, a plain table
and two rattan chairs constituted
the furniture of the "parlor". In
one corner steamed the samovar. .
Shows Traces of Beauty
Age shows upon the features of
the would-be ministress of war, not
does she try to conceal it. But she
still shows traces of the beauty
which in her younger days was
coupled with her fiery eloquence as
her greatest tascinator ot the
masses. Her hair is getting very
gray. She is slightly deformed, a
feature which is made doubly con
spicuous by the costume she wears
adopted by the women inspirators
of the Russian 1905 revolution, and
the color of which is a brilliant red.
The first thing she proposes to do
she becomes war minister she
herself prefers "when" to if is to
create a formid?ble Red army. But
let her outline her own program:
,ir ' . r 'j I i
we muse nave a lormiaaDie
Are women as yet really needed in
all our industries? One of our experts
in industrial management believes
that before the war ends women
will be needed , by the hundred
thousands, and we ought now to be
planning for their training and safe
guarding. Now is the time to pre
pare and develop plans and policies.
Every woman should make herself
fit for war1 call at home or abroad.
Health and strenrth are within
the reach of every woman, and there
is no better time than now to try an
herbal tonic, which has had a half
century of practical demonstration
and successful results in most of the
delicate derangements and weak
nesses of women. It is the "Prescrip
tion" of Dr. Tierce, used by him in
active practice many years, and
now sold by almost every druggist
in tablet or liquid form.

army for we must bring about by
force the triumph of our cause, not
only in Germany, but iu foreign
countries as well. But our army
will be to fight a very special bat
tle, and must in no way resemble
those immense masses of troops
formed by the capitalist govern
ments. Army of Individuals.
"It must be an army of individuals
who will not attract : public atten
tion by any outward sign ei dis
tinctionmen who will provide their
own revictualling and who will pene
trate singly into,, the Bourgeois
centers where they will form, at
the given hour, formidable groups.
"Well, the .fnost severe discipline
must obtain in such an organization
and there will be only one penalty
for defection: Death,
"It has been said of the' soviet
government that it is imperialistic
because it wants to apply its pro
gram by force to alU countries
which it can reach.
"This reproach will be aimed at
us here in Germany as well. Indeed,
in a certain measure, we are imper
ialists.
."I he old imperial government
wanted to dominate other peoples
and reduce them to slaves. W also
want to dominate them, but in order
to teach them to make themselves
free." ,
No Red Revolt in England.
Rosa Luxemburg has some wild,
ambitious dreams, but her remarks
were now and then I punctured by
pessimism, bhe does - not believe
for .instance, that there will event
ually be Red revolutions in France
or England. Said she:
"The success of a revolution de
nends upon the concentration of
capital. In Russia, success was
swift' because all, the capital was
concentrated m the hands of a lim
ited group of land- holders and
merchant princes. All that was
necessary was to 'get' that group.
" Here in Uermany, our tasK al
ready is more difficult. It is less
realizable in .France, for example
It is, in fact, practically impossible
to destroy the capital of a country
where it is distributed among tens
of millions of individuals.
Here Rosa switched suddenly to
the league of nations plan:
"The capitalistic governments,"
and uncontrollable nervousness,
something must be wrong with the
head or back, a woman naturally
says, but all the time the real trouble
very often centers in the organs. In
nine cases out of ten the seat of the
difficulty is here, and a woman
should take rational treatment for its
cure. The disorder should be treated
steadily and systematically with
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
and the hygienic advice followed
which Dr. Pierce gives free.
For diseases from which women
suffer, "Favorite Prescription" is a
powerful restorative. During the
last fifty years it has banished from
the lives of tens of thousands of
women the pain, worry, misery and
distress caused by these diseases.
Your neighbor could tell you.

said she, "will probably form an
assotiation which they will ornate
with the name 'League of Nations.'
We must oppose such an instru
ment ot economic oppression an
alliance equally powerful.
"We shall begin with a Russo
German alliance. It is evident that,
after the fall of the present govern
ment and our advent to actual power
this event will not be lo.ng delayed.
"But we shall not stop there. The
proletariat in the neighboring
countries will join us rapidly. We
represent, indeed, such force of at
traction and expansion that it will
be an easy task to triumph, first in
Austria and Hungary and then in
the Scandinavian countries, in Hol
land, and in Switzerland.
"We shall then form one unique,
powerful state, governed in accord
ance with our announced program."
Only now has it become known
fliat Rosa Luxemburg was the real
organizer of the bolshevist war in
Russia, having started as far back as
1905 when she was instrumental in
forming the notorious Browning
battalion, which caused so much
bloodshed in Warsaw and Moscow.
It was her brain that mapped out
the theft of 32,000,000 rubles by the
Reds, then masquerading under the
name of "Social Democrats." '
On July 15, 1906, she carried out
her bloodiest stroke. At noon that
day all the police agents at Warsaw
who were on -their posts of duty
were simultaneously assassinated by
revolutionaries cleverly posted in
ambush. . She was the commander-in-chief
of that orgy of. murder.
That is Rosa the Red, nemesis of
Liberty.

Increase of Express
Charges to Be Enforced
Washington, Jan. 17. Railroad
administration ' officials said today
higher express charges would be
collected in Ohio,1 regardless of the
action of the Ohio public utilities
commission in declining to approve
the new. schedule. Ther attitude
was that the railroad control act
authorized the president through
the director general to put new
rates into- effect and did not au
thorize . state commissions to ' sus
pend.
Action similar to that of the Ohio
commission has been taken in Ne
braska, South Dakota and other
western states, where increased ex
press charges have been collected
since January 1 without reference
to the state commission's orders.
