Coblenz, April 4. The 42nd (Rainbow) division is all packed up and awaiting the final order, "all aboard for home." The first troop train from this division is scheduled to leave Ahrweiler Sunday morning. The personnel on this train will con sist of the division headquarters staff and several smaller units. Two trains will leave Sunday aft ernoon and four daily thereafter for six days. The transportation offi cers figure on average time schedule from the Rhine to Brest of 60 hoyrs. 'Official cognizance has been ta ken by the third army of the 'in creased spirit of enmity shown by civilians against Americans in the occupied area. Thursday's intelli gence summary says of this condi tion : ' "There is considerable feeling against our strict enforcement of the civilian circulation regulation. Inhabitants Unfriendly. "This is especially so with refer ence to the circulation on the left bank of the Rhine between the sev eral occupied territories." Regarding bolshevism and the opinions of civilians in the occupied area, the summary says: "The general idea is that bolshe vism will die of its own accord, and satisfaction is expressed that it can not make much headway in the American rone. While recognizing that the inhabitants owe the quiet in the region to the American troops it is evident that the population has np really friendly spirit for our sol diers."1 Rainbow Assigned to Convoy. ' Washington, April 4. Assign ment of the complete 42d (Rain bow) division to early convoy home was announced today by the War There is serious ' doubt whether the Rainbow division can be pa raded as a division in Washington or elsewhere, Secretary Baker said today, because of the difficulty of landing all units at or near the same Mme.

GERMANS LOST HOPE AFTER THE DEFEAT, AUG. 8 (Continued From Face One.) replying Jo the note in a dignfied tone with due regard to the em pire's interests. An abandonment of the U-boat war could not be con sidered. Admiral Scheer, former chief of the German admiralty staff, spoke in the same sense. This con ception also continued to be held for some days in the war cabinet. Dr. Solf (former foreign minister.) however, requested Count Wolff Metternich and others to create a more vielding atmosphere. Success fell to" Solf. The U-boat war ceased and the path to capitulation was trodden. Von Hindenburg im mediately protested against this and proposed an appeal to the nation. Government Lost Heart "It was clear from President Wil son's 1 third answer that our op ponents wanted to destroy us. Von Hindenburg and myself had no doubt that if we must fight we could still continue the war for some months. "The utmost exertion of strengt'i might, perhaps, have had a sober ing effect on enemy peoples and brought us a bearable peace. On October 25, Von Hindenburg and I submitted this idea to the kaiser and later to Vice Chancellor Von Payer. We gained the impression that the imperial government no longer was willing to fight, but was ready, to accept the hardest condi tions. "On the 26th I wrote my resigna tion, but at Von Hindenburg's re quest I did not dispatch it. I im mediately afterwards learned that the supreme command had been violently attacked in the reichstag on account of its order relative to the third Wilson note. This order had been rejected by me with the injunction 'let the matter become clear.' Only as the result of clumsi ness did the order get placed before Von Hindenburg and then it went out without my knowledge."

"You realize, Mr. Witt, that your explanation is entirely unsatisfac tory," Chief Counsel Byers asked. "I know that," replied Witr, "but I can't recollect where I got the money." Thorson was called and testified that he had been employed as a state secret service agent during 1918 at a salary of $125 per month and ex penses on work for the governor. He said that he had paid Witt a total of $965 for aiding him in pro moting wrestling matches, held dur ing the spring and early summer, and had paid him $750 of this sum in installments of $250 and $500 dated September 15 and October 6, respectively. The money was for publicity assistance, he said, and was paid in currency. Witness said that he could not account in any way for two checks of $250 which lie deposited, and did not remember for what he had re ceived the money. In his last appearance on the stand, Attorney General Havner told the committee that neither he nor anyone else had found any evidence at any time that Governor Harding had received one penny in the par don matter. This admission came after the at torney general had been on the stand for several hours. He said, as to the Ruthbun affi davit, that he had gotten it to pro tect himself as chief law officer of the state. Lt. John Beveridge Returns After Year's Army Service Lieut. John V. Beveridge and Mrs. Beveridge returned last evening from Camp Lewis. Wash., where Lieutenant Beveridge has been in the national army service. Lieuten ant Beveridge was assigned as sec ond lieutenant to the 347th Machine Gun battalion of the 91st or "Wild West" division, which saw such se vere service on the French war fronts, ' but when the 13th division was being organized, he received a promotion to first .lieutenant, and was assigned to the 39th Machine Gun battalion in that outfit, which was on the poin of departure for France when the armistice was signed. The young officer's brother, Bede Beveridge, who is in the 123d Field Artillery, went through all the heavy fighting and escaped unwounded. The machine gun battalion of the 91st division, to which Lieut. John Beveridge was first assigned, was almost annihilated in the Argonne battle, and many of his brother of ficers who trained with him, were killed.

ALLIES DEFEAT ATTACK MADE BY THE RED ARMY (Continued From Page One.) comradeship and abundant food and opportunity for violence prevail." Americans to Withdraw. Paris, April 4. The situation in the Archangel region in northern Russia has been forcibly brought to the attention of the peace con ference by the publication in Paris of the British statement that the troops in the Murmansk and Arch angel districts were in danger of ex termination unless they were speed ily reinforced. Brig. Gen. W. P. Richardson, U. S. A., is on his way to take com mand of the American forces in north Russia and is expected to reach Murmansk with 200 soldiers in a few days. There is apparently no change, however, in the avowed in tention to take the American troops out of the region at the earliest pos sible date. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss and other American representatives here, while admitting the gravity of the situa tion, are inclined to believe that the troops at distant outposts can re treat, if necessary, before an advance by the bolsheviki, as armored trains are available for all the Americans in the region south of Archangel and Murmansk. Relief of Archangel from the. sea probably will not be possible before the end of May because of the ice, but the forces in the city are well equipped with artillery and ammu nition. There is no direct commu nication at present by either land or sea between Murmansk and Arch angel. Murmansk, however, can be relieved immediately from the sea. The feeling in American circles here is that the British statement overemphasizes the gravity of the situation, because of the desire to send large reinforcements and, per haps, because there may be an an nouncement soon of the allied policy toward the bolsheviki. CONSTITUTION SUSPENDED. Berlin, April 4. The Polish cab inet has suspended the constitutional guarantees for three months, ac cording to Warsaw dispatches to the Berlin newspapers. Reconsideration of Anti-Trust Laws Is Urged of Congress r Washington, April 4. Reconsid eration by congress of all anti-trust legislation is recommended by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States as the result of a ref erendum vote of its affiliated trade and commercial organizations. Complete returns from the refer endum, made public today, show that the membership voted in fa vor of all four proposals advanced by a special committee which studied the subject. Congress should be asked imme diately to consider the present situ- . . . . 1 ation of all statutes constituting our. anti-trust legislation. In consideration of existing antU trust legislation there should be for mulation of standards of general business conduct to be administered by a supervisory body. An enlarged federal trade commjs sion should be made the supervise ory board. In view of the importance of the functions of the trade commission as they should exist, the members ship of the federal trade commission' should be increased to nine. The subject of anti-trust legisla tion will be taken up at the seventh annual meeting of the chamber to be held at St. Louis April 28 tu May 1.
