THAT CANNOT AGREE
some WOULD DIVIDE EMPIRE
Berlin, Cologne and Rhine Cities
Secthe With Unrest--Allies Hold
the People in Check

Cologne. Dec. COLOGNE is seeth-
ing with political ideas born of the
revolution. Various factions are at
grips over the future government of
the Rhineland, which. with Westpha-
liza, was declared a separate republic
at a meeting OF radical social demo-
Gratis the other day.
The conservatives are holding out
for united Germany. The Rhine
land, as a whole, was against the
old regime. but the people have split
on the rock OF possible separation
from Germany.
The soldiers and workmen's coun-
ell of Cologne is cooperating quietly
with the old city government. The
first flare OF the revolution. in Co
llogne came on November Z, when sc
marines arrived here fresh from the
mutiny in Kiel and started trouble
The way already had been well paved
by Russian Bolsheviki. The marines
quickly secured followers and raidet
the jails. liberating between 4,00C
and 5000 criminals.
German troops holding the cit,
were disarmed by the revolutionist:
and the officers were stripped o.
their epaulets without much resist
ance.
That night was one of terror. Th'
liberated criminals made the most o.
their freedom and considerable
number Of persons we're killed. How
many died will never be known be
cause the bodies were thrown int
the Rhine.
AS the governor OF the distric
showed no inclination to take hanC
in the matter, the burgomaster de
cided to straighten out affairs him
self and invited the soldiers ant
workmen's council to the city hall
The revolutionary council proved
reasonable and the burgomaster sue
ceeded finally in getting the uppe
hand over the mobs. At present tn
council is composed half Of moder
ates and half of independents VIII,

GREAT PLANS MADE

Many Nations Preparing to Have
Delegates Present--Many Private
Wires Are Installed

Paris. Sunday, Dec. 8.-Every
train arriving at Paris these dayf
brings large numbers OF officials at
tached to the various delegations to
the peace conference. BY the time
the delegates gather the number OF
officials OF all nationalities will num-
Der between 5000 and 5000. Each
one will have some special work to
do. Many OF them already are busy.
The United States, because of Its
remoteness, will be obliged to have
probably the largest and most COM
plete star, and for this reason the
American authorities have been com
PEELED to take over larger accommo.
dations than any other delegation
Italy will also have a considerable
working force here, but the delegates
as in the case Of Great Britain, viii
be able to depend on much of theil
work being done In their own coun
try. Each European nations dele
gates win have at their disposal theil
own private telegraph and telephon,
wires. with which they may eommu
nicate with their respective govern
ments.
A large number of the officials o
the leading powers are receivint
many representatives of small ma
tionalities or groups Of nationalitie
who have interests which they inten'
to bring before the conference. Som
OF these represent government
which have not even been recognized
and in a few cases there are tw,
groups of representatives Of the sam
nationality, each claiming to repre-
sent the majority party.

ITALY STIRRING UP W
TROUBLE WITH SERBS

London, Dec. 1.-THE Manchester
Guardian says it has received from a
well informed allied source the state
ment that another very serious in
cident has been provoked by the for
ward action Of Italy on the Adriatic
coast" The newspapers informant
continues:
"Ten days ago, though perfect
quiet reigned in that district and
Serbian contingents from General
Franchet d'Esperey's army already
were in occupation of Cettinie, the
Italians insisted on landing 1900
troops at Cattaro, in Dalmatia. Hap
pity. to counter-balance this, the al
lies secured the presence OF an equal
number Of troops, including French
and American soldiers.
'The Italians, however, showed
signs Of behaving as masters and
proceeded to demand the lowering oi
the National flag. An armed con
flict was avoided owing to the &C
tive Intervention Of the American
commander. The national flags ant
'emblems remain in position"
