leaders of the counter -re volution.
While the movement has been
t carried out rapidly and in apparent
'order, there is an undercurrent of
anxiety among the peopf of Ber
lin as to possible future occurrences.
Counter measures are expected soon,
although the Kapp government has
taktti precautions to place thos

Von Luettwitz Statement..
General Von Ldettwitz has issued
the following order.-
."I am personally taking over the

state of Saxony is at the same time
raised.
..The troops under command cf

'charged with the execution of, the
requisite measures."
, Kaiser Not Implicated.-
' .The Hague, March 13. Neither
the former emperor norvthe crown
prince is implicated in the overthrow
of the German government, so far
as, canjbe learned here. The Asso

entirely reliable authority that both

similar "peaceful overthrow of the
socialist government" has occurred,

molest foreigners, and members of
the allied missions find no diffi
culty in passing in their cars through
the barricades.
. ,The ordinary Berliner seems to
treat the counterrevolution liehtlv.
but on investigation, one finds a
general feeling of uneasiness as to
what the future mav brine forth.
It is thought that the Agrarians,
who naturally support the move
4 ment will send food to Berlin
quickly and in as large It quantity
as . possible in order to maintain the
prestige of the new government. But
no one knows what the workers in
the Ruhr coat-, fields and the rail
waymen will do. '
- ' Admiral Fails of Purnose.
Alexanderplatz, near the police
prefecture, is crowded with people
this evening, for the most part
workers, the number of whom is, es
timated at about 50.000.
According to the Tageblatt, the
counter-revolutionarv trooos are
composed principally of, the Erhardt
and Loewenfeld ' brigades, about
8,000 in all. Admiral von Trotha.
chief of the admiralty, was sent
on the government s orders to
Doeberitz to deter the troops from
what was termed a, politically in
, sane" plan. After attempting to
calm the men, he returned to Iser
lin.' his mission unfulfilled. . .
The chief of police, Eugen Ernst,
replying to the request ot General
von Luettwitz to remain at his post
to prevent disturbances, said that,
while it will be' to the, interest of
the fatherland for him to remain
provisionally at his post and do
everything in his . power to avoid
civil war and fresh bloodshed, he
could only give his final answer
after consulting his party friends.
The deputy chief of police in a
brief speech to his subordinates, re
quested them to continue to per
form their duties.
Kapp Issue Statement.
- Chancellor Kapp, of the new Ber
tin government and Major General
Von Luettwitz, have issued the
following proclamation:
"The overthrow of the govern
ment must not be taken as reac
tionary. On the contrary, it is a
progressive measure of patriotic
Germans of all parties with a view
to re-establishing , law, order, dis
cipline and honest government in
Germany. It is an overdue at
tempt to lay the foundations for the
economic resuscitation of Germany,
enabling her to fulfill those condi
tions of the peace treaty which are
reasonable and not self-destructive.
- "Inspired by teal and a desire for
the "benefit of all the Germin peo
ple, the new government invites
heartily the acceptance and co-operation
of the independents for the
creation and elaboration of laws" for
betterment of the working classes."
., Blames Socialists for Taxes.
-The manifesto charges the social
ist government with overburdening
the people, with taxation, failing to
create conditions for an increase of
production in all liues. suppressing
newspapers which criticise it and
otherwise interfering with personal
liberty and refusing to dissolve the
national assembly,, and ssue writs
for new elections.
"Last, but not least," says the
manifesto, "a government w here the
chief spokesman is Erzberger, must
be swept away.
It further declares that a change
of government is purely ail internal
affair and a German question which
alone concerns the German people.
It promises to use eery effort to
maintain internal and external
peace and prevent a recurrence of
the mistakes of a government now
happily defunct and obsolete."
Kapp Born , in . America.
Wolfgang Kapp, the new chancel
lor, is a sou of Fredrich Kapp, a
veteran of the revolution of 1848,
and well known in the United States
where he had later migrated. Wolf
gang Kapp was born in the United
Mates and lived there until his 12th
year. He went to Germany in the
0s' and occupied various public of
fices and Prussian ministry, posts.
. Hprr Kapp was one of last year's
active pan-Germans and with Ad
miral , V on Tirpitz was founder of
the Jatherland party. He was the
author of a secret memorial against
Dr. Von Bethmann Holtwg, which
was exposed during a session of the
old Reichstag.
Major General Baron Von Luet
twitz is a soldier of the old school.
He was in charge of the first regi
ment in 1 Berlin during the" early
revolutionary day when he came to
the rescue of the new government
troops which ultimately succeeded
in putting down Spartican upris
ings. V
Von Luettwitz also has been an
outspoken and fearless critic of the
regime now overthrown, and it is
said that Minister of Defense,
Noske forced him from the influ
ential position which he had held.

Allies Not to Pay.'
Attention to Hun Affairs
Paris; March 13.-r-The opinion ex
pressed in official circles at the
moment is that the allied eovern
ments will take an attitude of
alootuess and detachment toward
the civil strife in Germany and per
mit the German people themselves
to determine the form of their gov.
ernment.
The armed disorders in Germany
are looked upon as most unfortunate
both for that country and the re
mainder of burope at the time, when
reconstruction had been begun.
Article Ten To Be
Voted Upon Monday
(Continued From First Fat.)
adopted for the sake of simplicity
and clarity. ' . ,
This latest move of Senator Lodge
had a tendency to restore harmony
in the republican ranks, but at the
same time , caused the compromise
to lose strength on the democratic
side. It was the old story aH over
again; whenever a change was made
it won republican votes-, and lost
democratic votes, or vice versa, so
that the balance alawys remained
about the same. The difficulties ot
satisfying senators who want the
obligation uider article 10 preserved
and senators who want Ihe obliga
tion destroyed in the same reserva
tion apparently were insuperable.
. Hitchcock Pessimistic.
Senatora Hitchcock, the democrat
ic leader, declared today that the
treaty could never be ratified on the
basis of anything that has yet been
put forward, and he saw no hope I
f .
huw ui uuiaiuiii any concession
that would enable the administration
senators to join in ratification.
Senator VVadsworth of New York,
a strong supporter of the original
Lodge program, led off the attack
today on the compromise submitted
yesterday by Senator Lodge. He
insisted that it did leave a distinct
obligation under article 10 to pre
serve territorial integrity and politi
cal independence, although it sought
to limit the means by which the ob
ligation could be fulfilled without the
consent of congress.
Senator Reed of Missouri, demo
cratic "irreconcilable," also assailed
the compromise. "Why have they
offered this thing?" he asked. "Be
cause they either think they have
fooled somebody or else they are
changing it in fact to get the votes
of men who would rather sit hert
and draw their salary than protect
their country. Political artful dod
gers won't get far.

Chicago, March U. Utto i'.
Gross, a saloonkeeper on the North
west Side, drew $12,000 from a bank
in order to cash pay checks for his
customers. Fifteen minutes later
three bandits entered the saloon,
fired 20 shots at Gross and his wife,
Clara, wounding both of them seri
ously. Due to the plucky fight he
put up, Gross saved the money, but
ifinay cost his life.

Mas Not Lost Interest
"I have not lost interest in public
questions, nor shall I while i liye,
but I prefer to aid younger men
with full pulse and tireless energy,
who can take up and carry oa the
people's cause. I have scanned the
horizon for such men; I have wel
comed them into the arena of poli
tics whenever I have discovered
them, and it gives me joy to support
them in every way possible while
they champion the cause of the
masses.

and mighty work for those who are
willing to put the welfare of . the
public above their own ease and
comfort and risk all in the protec
tion of the pommon people from

not desiring the nomination, I .think
it is my duty to the progressive
democrats of the nation to go as a
delegate to the national convention
if Nebraska democrats desire it and
aid them in opposing the reaction
aries and friends of the saloon.
"This is my position, and I con
clude with a heart overflowing with
gratitude for the loyalty and confV
dence which rny friends have mani
fested. No American has been more
fortunate than I in the character
and constancy of his personal and

have been a colaborer with them,

which Eugene Barnett and John
Lamb were found guilty of third
degree murder. The court's, in
structions did not permit of such a
verdict. - ,, '"'. '
Thirteen men were charged with
Grimm's murder: ; Two, 'John Doe
Davis and Ole Hansonrwere not
apprehended. .The case against Bert
Faulkner was dismissed for lack of
evidence. -'
The state called 75 witnesses in
support of its contentions that Grimm
was killed while standing at the head
of his division, and in rebuttal call
ed about. 100 witnesses. . '
Defense Called 115 Witnesses.
The defense placed 115 witnesses
on the stand, endeavoring to show
that Grimm's death was the result
of an alleged raid upon the I. W. W.
hall and that no shooting occurred
until uniformed men rushed to the
haii. 1
The state contended that there
was no raid until after the shoot
ing and that the defendants had no
right, even in defending their hall,
to station men, in rooms in hotels
opposite the hall and upon a hill
1,20.0 feet distant to fire upon, fhc
marchers as it was alleged was
done. , - .
Efforts. to introduce evidence to
show there had been a conspiracy
to raid the hall were stopped by the
court.
Plead Self-Defense.
Self-defense was the plea for all
of the defendants except ' Lbren
Roberts. An alleged confession of
Roberts was introduced bv the state
and defense contended that this was
made while Roberts was insane.
The trial started January 26. Two
defense witnesses were arrested on
perjury charges, shortly after they
testified.
Fears of possible violence led
state authorities to ask that federal
troops be sent here and a company
of the 35th infantry has been on
duty in ' Montesano for several'
weeks.

. "Full information of the exact sit

apparent that the revolution so far
has been unaccompanied by blood

"Noske has left Berlin. Accord
ing to information available, other
ministers in the Ebert cabinet also
have gone from the city.
"Muller is said to be in the cus

May Restore Dynasty.
These messages, read in the light
of press dispatches, left no doubt in
the minds of government officials
that the party now dominant in Ber
lin was monarchists and mili
taristic. That it would like to re
store the old Hohenzollern dynasty
is the'inference drawn from the oc
currences in the German capital.
There is a well-grounded opinion
here, however, that the allied gov
ernments will not consent to the
restoration of Emperor William, or
the crown prince.
The allies regard the former
kaiser, as a criminal and hold that
the German government acknowl
edged this when they signed the
treaty of, Versailles with its pro
vision for the trial of William. It
is believed to be doubtful also if
the allies will consent to having the
new government dominated by men
who are on the list of those whose
trials for offenses against the laws
of war and humanity were de
manded by the allied powers.
Pull of Danger.
The whole situation produced by
the coup d'etat in Berlin is full of
uncertainty and danger and it is be
lieved here that the European al
lies will immediately take common
counsel to determine what steps
are essential on their part to remedy
conditions that may prove harmful
to allied interests, and endanger
execution by Germany of the terms
of the peace treaty.
The report that Field Marshal
Von. Hindenburg had been pro
claimed "imperial president'" of
Germany attracted interest in of
ficial circles in Washington. The
opinion was given that if Hinden
burg was placed at the head of the
new regime he would be merely a
cat's-paw for General Ludendorff,
who is regarded as the real force
behind the monarchist and militarist
movement.
Have Formidable Army,
One serious factor in the situa
tion is that Germany apparently has
still a formidable military force in
being., Her military demobilization
under the conditions laid down in
the peace treaty has been slow. Re
cent official reports received here
indicate that the military force of
the German government is com
prised as follows:
Reichswehr (the real combat
force), 250,000 men; ' ' .
Sicherheits-Polizer (state consta
bulary) 75,000 men;
Various military-contingents' that

Strength of Allies.
The strength of the 'principal al
lied forces in the occupL'l territory
is in details as follows:
French troops, 154,000; British
troops, 106,000; United States
troops, 15,000, including those be
ing used for policing Silesia during
the plebiscite period.
It is the intention of the United
States government to reduce its
armed forces in the German oc
cupied territory to 6,800. There are
now in European countries, ac
cording to the. latest reports re
ceived, 774 officers and 16,316 men
of the American army. Maj. Gen.

The Essex is Famous
for Beauty as Well
as Performance
' Essex performance proofs naturally
' overshadow its qualities of quieter appeal.
Its official world's endurance records
have the force of proving the incredible.
For prior to Essex it was held that light
weight and moderate cost must mean: some
forfeit in smoothness, speed, power and en
durance , v ' ' ' - - ;
But even those whose choice was decided
'by Essex supreme 'performance ability are
captivated by its notable beauty of design,
its luxurious finish and quiet riding ease.
It is not merely that Essex matches
large, high priced cars in comfort. Jt is
not only its speed, its quickness at the
getaway-and its easy, mastery of the hills.
Comfort and Quality
. Like Costliest Cars
Essex charm lies in the' combination of
'its qualities of beauty and fineness with a
flying smoothness of Action and a respon
siveness that heeds the lightest touch.
Abundant surplus power handles the
Essex with ease in any situation. It is
this surplus power and strength, beyond
any need ydu will ever have for it, that
accounts for Essex smoothness and ease in
tasks at which many ars strain with per
' inanent injury to their ntechamsm! -
-VTomen ; especially appreciate this. -It
, stops, starts turns and picks up far more
quickly than is possible to heavier typo.
'rhat is why its progress is fast and secure, .
even in, the heaviest traffic. ,
, Though style preference must always be
a batter of personal taste; a car must offer
unusual beauty and distinction to gain the
following Essex has among people who are
accustomed to fine quality in all things.
Appreciation of Essex, fineness is stead
ily growing. Production cannot keep pace
with demand. Order today to be sure of

Hudson Design and
Super-Six Motor Still
World Supreme
Every day you see Hudsons, two and
' three years old, which,, both in perform
ance and style, might well be judged of
. recent production. . ! ,
That is because Hudson design never
has been guided by caprice. It has never,
sought to excite attentionby dubious exj
tremes. ;; ' " ; "; ; ' ' y , ' ,
: . Advanced ideas you1 will always find in
Hudson Super-Six. This fact created its
leadership. - But they must earn their
right to belong. No mere straining after
something new ever won place for a singles
feature of Hudson design. 1 x
On fashionable boulevards and drives
you will see more Hudson closed and
chauffeur-driven cars than of any other
.make. Yet leadership in style alone was
not enough to win such recognition.
The Super-Six Motor.
' Exclusive in Hudson
Hudson's chief advantage has alwaysl
been in performance. In every way open
to. proof it has shown its supremacy. It
holds all worth-while stock car, records for
speed, power and acceleration. In its run ,
of '7,000 miles, across the continent and
back, in 10 days and 21 hours, ft prbved
such endurance as no other car ever has '
equaled, , ' .
These records were made four or five
years ago. Yet they still stand. Theyj
account for Hudson becoming the largest
- 'selling fine car in the world. t- .
That is sufficient reason why no change
ever has been made in the principle of the
Super-Six motor. No way has been found,
to improve it. ' ; ,
And you can get its advantages in no
other car. It is Datented and exclusive in
Hudson.
Everywhere Hudson dealers are askiag
for more cars to meet the demand. But i
the factory cannot supply enough. To get
"a Hudson this summer we suggest that you
place your order immediately, y ,
