GERMANS FIGHT REDS
GOVERNMENT ARMY RUSHED TO
ATTACK BOLSHEVIKI.
Send Troops to Frankfort Through
Neutral Zone With Consent
of French.

Coblerz, April 4.-German troops
opposite the Coblenz bridgehead are
moving toward Frankfort, where a
Spartacan revolt has been causing dis
order.
Before entering Frankfort, which is
in the neutral zone beyond the French
bridgehead based on Mayence, the
German military authorities had to OBJ
tain permission from the French Tenth
army.
According to information reaching
American headquarters here. the trou-
BILE in Frankfort became serious Tues
day. The workmen formed groups in
the streets and eventually a mob OF
more than 10000 began paradlng
through the streets. The mob stormed
large warehouse and the members
helped themselves to the food stored
there. Hundreds filled baskets anc
sacks with food of various kinds.
Street fighting followed an attempt
by the local authorities to gain con
troll of the situation. The German
troops opposite the American bridge
head were then called on for help.
Disorder continues in a number o.
German cities. The Vossische Zeitun:
says the Stuttgart streets are filled
with great crowds and that there ha'
been much shooting.

Paris, April 7.--President Wilson is
confined to his bed with cold, which,
in statement given out at the Paris

Severe"
The president has been devoting his
entire time to work by day and night
since the council of four was organ
lied. He has had little or no relaxa-
tion and only limited amount Of ex-
ercise. He has been constantly under
the professional watchfulness of Rear
Admiral Grayson, his personal physi-
clan, who hoped to protect him from
the colds which now are somewhat
epidemic in Paris because of the chilly
and rainy weather that has prevailed
recently.
President Wilcon's condition was re-
garded by Admiral Grayson as suffi-
ciently serious to warrant inslstence
upon strict compliance with the orders
given early In the day against any un-
authorized intrusion on the sick room.
While the premiers of the allied gov
,ernments and e. M. House. represent
ing the president, conferred in a room
lon the same floor and within less than
twenty yards of the patient, no effort
was made to communicate with him
regarding any Of the phases Of the
discussions.

preston of regret at his indisposition

HOLD RHINE UNTIL FOE PAYS
French and Belgian Troops Will Hold
Territory After Peace Treaty
is Signed.

Paris, April 4.-The council Of four
has virtually decided, according to in
formation from French sources, that
the left bank of the Rhine will be neu-
tralized until Germany has paid the
indemnities fixed by the peace confer
ence.
1t is understood that French and Bel
gian troops will hold this territory, the
United States claiming it to be impos-
sible to leave American troops in Eu-
rope after the signature of the peace
treaty, and England having insufficient
effective troops to maintain garrisons
along the Rhine.
1t is surmised that the visit of King
Albert of Belgium to Paris was not
unconnected with the share that Bel
gian troops will be asked to under
take in this territory.
