Murray Benton sat in the window Of
his club, gazing listlessly out at the
hurrying crowds.
The frown Ons shls face deepened as
he mentally reviewed the terse ad-
vice the doctor, whom he had just WIS.,
tied, had given him.
Murray, lad, you have too much
money for your own benefit he had
said. He was an old friend and was
privileged to be frank. "Get away
from the bright lights and your GRO
nics and get into the country. Fresh
mir, regular hours and bit of work,
too" he added with a sly twinkle, "are
what you need. If you keep on at the
rate you have been going l can't an
swer for the consequences" he fR-
ished, relapsing again into seriousness.
"Bosh!" mused Murray, doe is a
calamity bowler. There's nothing
wrong with me-"
But, even as he argued with himself,
he realized that the doctor had told
the truth. Being rejected from every
branch of the war service at which he
applied confirmed the doctors verdict.
as well as the feeling of lassitude
which he tried to fight off.
His eye CHANGED to fall on a news
paper spread on the table near by, on
which n large picture of Uncle Sam
with arms outstretched pleaded, "Be
a Patriot. Go to Work on a Farm.
The listless expression on Murray's
face changed to one of interest and
he exclaimed, "Why not?" and rushed
out of the room, much to the amaze

ARREST II AT MUNICH
TO FOIL ROYALISTS
Counter-Revolt Plot Seen.
Two Detained-South Ger.
mans in Conference
BY the Associated Press

Munich, Dec 3i.--Seventeen promi
nent men, including one non-Bavariah
duke, were arrested here Sunday even
ing by the police, assisted by twenty
members OF the local Soldiers Council.
The arrests caused the greatest sensa-
tion experienced by this city since tbe
revolution.
The men who were arrested were at
one of the largest hotels in Munich ana
are said to have been engaged In
conference when the officers arrived
They say they were arranging for the
recruiting of citizen soldiery, but the
police accuse them of aiming an attack
at existing institutions. IT Is reported
that they apparently attempted to de-
stroy a number OF discriminating doCu-
ments which the police seized.
All but two of the men arrested have
been released. These were the publisher,
accused of distributing arms, and a
banker who Is considered the ring leader
in the alleged plot.
The accused men say that the citizen
soldiery which they proposed to recruit
was intended to protect the present
Government against reactionaries. Spar
tacus forces guard the public buildings
and the bridge here.
Herr Auer, Minister of the Interior,
who was himself trying to form a force
of citizen soldiers, was interested in
the plan which the arrested men say
they were considering. He was working
in good faith. he says, because he was
informed that the mob violence was
threatened for New Years Eve. Herr
Auer. however, accompanied Premier
Kurt Eisner to Stuttgart to attend d
conference there, and permitted the mat
ter to temporarily get beyond his con-
troll. He says that the Counter-revolu-
tionary forces slipped in.
Stuttgart is dealing largely with food
supplies. 1t is understood that minis
ters from all the southern German
States are participating in the confer
ence. which also will discuss the unity
of the empire and South German de-
mands for equal rights.
After long delay and many con-
ficting reports 1t Is understood that eX-
changes regarding reciprocal trade re-
lations between -Slovakia and
Germany have finally begun.

Socialists against Friedrich Ebert, a re-
