DISORDERS IN BERLIN
Govrnment Seems PoWerIess to
Preserve Quiet.
Committees of All Kinds Publish Con
Trajectory Orders and Practice
BlackmaiI.

Paris, Dec 18.--AccoFdsag to cor
respondent of the Journal, who has re-
turned from a hurried visit to Berlin,
the Berlin central government is pow
erless to maintain order and deserters
from the army terrorize the inhabi-
tants.
Robberies and attacks follow one
another rapidly and apartments and
shops are robbed i'm midday. Commit
tees of all kinds, he continues, pub
lish contradictory orders and practice
blackmail
Red flags are flying all over the
city, but business is going on as usual
The war has caused a great rush of
women into public services.
The theaters, the correspondent
adds, are open and the restaurants are
crowded. The population is well
dressed, he said, but in artificial ma
terials.
There is a scarcity of bread. but
ter, milk and potatoes and spectators
are reported to be holding their re-
serves of foodstuffs. An ordinary meal
costs % to 30 marks, and an order
of soup is 8 marks.
Berlin is dark at night and providers
occupy the streets.

REASONS ARE GIVEN
BurleSon Declares for Ownership
of Wire Systems.
Representative Moon Told That Eco
nomic importance of Proposition
Is Foremost.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Ownership by
the government of the telegraph and
telephone systems of the nation was
characterized as imperative" by Post
master General Burleson in a letter to
Representative Moon, chairman of the
House committee on -postoffices and
postroads
Mr. Burleson said the systems can
be acquired without the appropria-
tion of dollar from the public treas
ury," bv applying to an amortization
fund for % years the savings made
under government ownership through
elimination of Implications in plants
and operating expenses.
AS Justification for the permanent
Burleson said: "To establish and main
tain smeans of communication is as
much the function of the government
as is the provision for national de-
fense. Moreover, it is essential to
the development of the country and
to the progress and prosperity of it's
people. 1t is a defense of the national
interests as much in peace as in war.
Extension of the wire service should
be determined by public needs, not
the opportunity for private gain"
The Postmaster General said he be-
lieved that an effective plan could be
worked out by which the waste of COM
petition can be eliminated and the ad-
vantage of private initiative in re-
search, investigation and experimental.

lebneCht Barred From National
Meeting, Speaks to Berlin
Crowd From Roof.
RADICALS ARE BEATEN.
Boishevik Leader Calls on Masses to
Proclaim Social and Political
Revoluton-Children Demand
e Voice in Government.

Berlin, Dec. Is. - Karl Liebknecht
and Rosa Luxembourg, bolshevik lead
ers, were refused permission to attend
the national meeting of workmen 8
and soldiers councils.
Radical members introduced a reso-
luton demanding for Liebknecht and
his aid the right to sit in the confer
ence, but they were outvoted by a
huge majority.
At least $4,000 persons gathered out
side the Prussian parliament building
during the alteration. When it be-
came known that the bolshevik lead
ers had been turned down, Liebknecht
suddenly appeared on the roof of the
parliament building and began to ad-
dress the crowds. He was wildly
cheered
Liebknecht Calls for Uprising.
Although surrounded by government
soldiers, Liebknecht spoke fearlessly.
He led cries of Down with Scheice-
mann!' Down with Ebert" Down
with Hasse!" despite the fact those
officials were sitting in the house.
within sound of his voice.
Liebknecht concluded his speech
from the roof with an appeal for the
proletariat, en- masse, to proclaim a
social and political revolution
The scene in the parliament cham
Der was a striking one when the meet
ing was called to order The room
was filed with soldiers in field gray
uniforms. Mingling with them were
workers in shabby clothes. There
were also few sailors. And this
room formerly was tenanted only by
legislators in the most formal and
correct dress. There was one woman
delegate and there were several wo-
men in the audience. They were the
first ever to enter the chamber.
Draped With Red Banners.
Half a dozen officers sat on the
rostrum, which was draped with the
red banners of socialism.
The first business transacted was
the election of officers. Major Leinert
of Hanover a former member of the
reichstag and a supporter of Philipp
Scheidemann, was chosen to preside.
Three alternates were selected.
Frederick Ebert, Hugo Hasse and
Philip Scheidemann occupied the tri-
bunal beside the rostrum.
The session got under way with mill
tary precision. The strictest parlia-
mentary order was maintained. save
for occasional outbursts of laughter.
Children Demand Equality.
Several hundred boys and girls pa
raded to the old diet building where
the soldiers and workmen's congress
is meeting. They demanded votes for
persons Is years of age abolition Of
corporal punishment in schools and
participation by children in the admin
lstration of the government and the
schools. The marchers carried red
flags and incendiary placards.

ner With American Soldiers
on German Soil.

Paris, Dec. 1S.-Economic questions
are coming prominently to the front
in the discussions now going on be-
hind the scenes preliminary to the as
sembling of the inter-Allied conference
and the peace congress. The main
point hinges on the appointment Of
Herbert c. Hoover, the American food
administrator, as director general of
relief for all the Allies and the United
States.
Rain interferes With Plans.
A heavy rain necessitated calling
off the presidents trip to the Marne
battlefield today. 1t also prevented
the president and Rear Admiral Gray
son from playing golf at st. Cloud,
which had been planned for a. m.
The weather cleared up toward
noon and the Wilson's again motored
out to Versailles for a more thorough
inspection Of the palace and grounds
President Wilson plans going to
Senlis, Marshal Foch's headquarters,
to confer with the Allied commander.
Later he will visit the battlefield of
Chateau Thierry, where the first
American divisions distinguished them
selves, and also Rheims.
Christmas With Soldiers.
The president will leave Paris
Christmas eve and go to American
general headquarters. From head
quarters he will proceed to the Amer
ican front. He will have Christmas
dinner with the American troops, and
not with the American commander-iu-
chief or other officers.
1t is the purpose of President Will
son to have Christmas dinner on Ger
man territory in the region of Coblenz.

Advices to Washington Intimate
General Villa Is Framing
Demonstration.
ATTACK ALONG BORDER
Assault on Some Large Town May Be
Undertaken With View to Ascer-
tanning Attitude of the United
States.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Ameri-
can government has received informa-
tion that Pancho Villa, the Mexican
rebel, is planning a demonstration in
northern Mexico with a view to ascer-
tanning what will be the attitude of
the American government toward a
renewal of his operations.
Officials of the State department
would not say whether there was IN
formation of the nature of the pro-
posed demonstration"
Attack on City Planned.
1t was said villa plans to attack
Chihuahua City or some other impor-
tant town near the American border.
Government officials have informa-
tion that Villa already has collected
a large part of the following which he
headed before General Pershing's ex-
peditionary force went into Mexico
in 1916 after Villas attack on Colum-
bus, N. M.
Information here is that the gather
ing of the Villa forces already has
caused much apprehension among the
inhabitants of towns and ranches in
northern Mexico and the Ameri-
can government is keeping a close
watch on the situation. There was
no indication, however, as to what
the attitude OF the government would
be should Villa renew his operations
In Mexico
No Alarm Over Monterey Incident.
No great Importance is attached by
officials here to the diplomatic ex-
changes resulting from the clash at
Tampico Nov. 81 in which members
of the armed Naval guard of the
American steamer Monterey killed the
captain of the Mexican customs guard
and mortally wounded another Mexi-
can soldier.
Reports of the incident are held to
show conclusively that the Americans
acted in self-defense, and 1t is ex-
pected that this will be conceded.
