PHYSICAL OPPOSITION" CHARGE

BERLIN, Friday, Dec. "a former
non commissioned officer named Ger
hard, who is one of the members of
the executive council of Berlin, and
leader of the soldier revolutionaries,
was arrested yesterday. He is under
mild form of detention charged,
among other things, with advocating
physical opposition to DR.. Kary Lieb-
knecht, leader Of the Spartacus group
of socialists. The fact that he was
arrested at plenary session of the
soldiers council, at which it was plan
ned to organize revolt against Her
man Molkenbuhr and other members
of the soldiers council, is interpreted
here as a successful endeavor to re-
move him from the scene.

form professional services for Ambas-

 A good deal of Italian has been picked up by the aviators right in the village where the people are very friendly and do not laugh at the weird expressions used by the Americans, whom they have adopted as their very own. The younger aviators, whose eyes are keener, have the advantage in learning the language and they find it comes in handy at the mess tables. The mess of the entire camp, is To- cated in a fine old Middle-Age place. The entire kitchen and first floor has been turned over to them. and there they eat eat surrounded by frescoed walls and ceilings typical of an Italy of other days. The mess is overseen by chef formerly with the Duke d d'Abruzzi and the Americans are said to be among the best fed soldiers in Italy-all for S3 cents a day.
 The aviators repay the chef, Con- sotino, by teaching him American slang.
