President Wilson and his ideals have

NEAR FIST FIGHTS MARK
OPENING OF CONGRESS

BERLIN, Dec. II. (By the Associated
Press, THE ceptral congress of dele
gates from soldiers and worlSnen's
councils from many parts of Germany
formerly used by the Prussian diet
There were three women among the 450
delegates.
During the organization OF the con-
gress 1t became evident that the inde-
pendent socialists and the Spartacus
group, were, greatly outnumbered A
significant development was that none
OF the important posts in the congress
was given to delegates from Berlin.
The Spartacus group made futile
attempt to intimdate the congress,
Early In the session q resolution was
submitted by DR. Karl Liebknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg that leaders Of the
Spartacus group, be invited to attend
the congress as guests with advisory
powers, Less than Is per cent of the
delegates voted for the resolution.
Presentation of the resolution caused
The followers of DR.. Liebknecht and
spectators in the gallery Joined in the
uproar which lasted 20 minutes and
threatened to result in various fist
fights. A contest is expected Tuesday
when the question Of sumInoning Il ma
tional assembly comes UP for discus
sion,
Later while Herr Mueller, chairman
OF the workmen's section of the execu-
tive committee was speaking, the chair
man Of the congress interrupted to say
there is a comrade present who wishes
to submit communication
The newcomer reported that he rep
resented $50, 600 workmen who ther
were assembled outside the diet build
ing. He read list Of demands identica
with the Spartacus program, including
retention of all power by the soldiers
and workmen's councils, no national as.
semby and the formation of a rec
guard. This aroused a storm of pro-
test, and in the general uproar the Nin'
