WHAT DID HE
 TALK ABOUT? Prof. Woodman Makes Statement Hearers Will
 Not Discuss.

What was it that Professor wood- man of New York University said during a lecture he delivered to q class of teachers at the High school on Tuesday afternoon at the High school that the teachers refrain from discussing?
 Prof. Woodman was talking princi- Pally on geographical influences of the war, to climate, resources and surface. His lecture, as usual, was most interesting. At the conclusion of his talk he uttered a statement fhat somewhat puzzled his students No questions were asked, and no ex- plantations were made. Whether he merely approached the subject, gave ihis views more fully, spoke in earnest or in jest cannot be learned. The teachers who attended his class abso- 1utely refuse to discuss the matter.
 Prof. Woodman conducts a CoIum- bia course in this city and meets with his classes every Tuesday at the High school.

 Governor Walter E. Edge took the floor and opened with the proposition that things weren't as blue as MT. Chadbourne seemed to think. The statement was greeted with rousing applause, but Governor Edge was so to speak, a false alarm. He failed to take up the cudgeLs of opposing opinion, played tag with the League of Nations, said some nice things about the superiority of business over politics, and made pretty nearly everybody wonder just what Governor Edge will add to the authority, the prestige and the capacity of the Sen ate, which he is'to join before long. MT. Edge recited a pretty verse about the Fed eration of the World but he gave not the least idea about what he thinks about the copy of the Fed eraCOn MT. Wilson brought home with him.

 MT. Chadbourne denounced as the figment of ralsehood the story that the Soviets have passed laws making women common property. He pro- nounced. the Soviets a very powerful organization from which many ex- cellent things will be saved, yet as to the totalfty of the experiment destin- ed to fail, because of the nature of economic laws and the nature of man himself. The solidarity displayed by Germany during the war, he attribut- ed to the legislation by which the German nobility had given to their citizens the sense of economic secur- ity. These laws included insurance against sickness and unemployment accident and old age pensions and so on.
 The working class is numerous. The propertied class is brainy and re sourceful. Five per cent. of the peo- pie he said, own most of the wealth. l am one of the 5 per cent.
 The United States, he declared is far behind European nations, in its provisions for the industrial security of working people.
 MT. Chadbourre warned the local manufacturers that they must waken up to the situation.

NI0NARCHISTS HAVE PLANNED BOLD STROKE
 TQ RESTORE OLD REGIME IN GERMANY
Old Officer Glass Gradually Getting Whip Hand Since
 Jan. 12. SECRET MEETING
 ON FEBRUARY Is Large Number of Officers Are Said to Be Associated
 in Plot.

London, Feb. 27-The mon archists of Germany are con- tempIating an early coup d'etat, in the opinion of the Mails cor respondent at Berlin, who says that the old officer class, with it's general staff, has been grad ually getting the whip hand there since Jan. 13 and now has the government in it's power.
 '"The threatened coup d'etat would be carried out in Berlin alone,'' he writes, and would probably for a time be successful, although it would certainly result in ruthless civil war and unscrupulous political murders. A large number of officers are said to be associated in the plot, which aims at the overthrow of the present govern ment and the restoration of the old order of things
 A secret meeting of monarchist off, cers was held at CharlottenDurg on February Is. It was summoned by Major vOn HerringeTl, son of the for mer secretary of war. Thirty officers attended ana eacn IS Sa1d 10 nave pledged himself to hold in his resi- dence a quantity of munitions ready for any emergency and to assemble at a certain place when called upon. Every member of the plot has been requested to enlist as many officers loyal to the former emperor as possf ble, it is understood, The government has been warned of the movement.
 The correspondent says the organ ization of new bodies of troops by the governmnt, a step which alone can save it from the S0artacans and other exteremtsts, has been possible only by reason of the government yielding to the older officer class, which, he says, has already bullied the government into winking at numerous political crimes and arbitrary acts which have been committed"
