Communists Unable to Pro-
vide Food for the People
and Leaders Preparing
to Escape in Airplanes
Spartacide Chief Is Shot
Martial Law Declared in
All Bavaria East of the
Rhine; Advance Is Begun

PARIS, April 29.-The encirclement
of Munich by German government
troops has been completed, according
to German dispatches received here.
This result was accomplished, it is
stated, by the occupation of Landshut
about thirty-five miles northeast of
Munich, which city has been closely
approached on all sides.
Meanwhile the government forces are
dealing with trouble in Nuremberg,
where the Spartacides took one of the
Majority Socialist leaders prisoner.
Airplanes of the Hoffman, govern
ment forces flying over Munich have
been fired on repeatedly by the COM
munists, with the result that 10
civilians have been killed and 100
wounded. The communist government,
the "Vossische zeitung," of Berlin,
says, in consequence has forbidden any
more firing at the airplanes. This
measure is said to have been taken,
however, with the view of saving am
munition.
The communist government is said to
be experiencing great difficulty in feed
ing the population and the large num-
ber of soldiers concentrated there
Panic prevailed Monday when the
government troops began their march
on the Bavarian capital, and three
members Of the communist government
resigned, Berlin dispatch says.
A delegation from the communist
government went to Ingoldstadt Sun
day to discuss the situation with the
Berlin government military leaders.
The communist leaders in Munich
are said to be ready to escape quickly
in airplanes.

BERLIN, April % by The Associ-

Noske to-day, in the course of an in

defending Germanys eastern frontiers,
Noske said the statement of David
Lloyd George. the British Prime Min
lister, that Germany was hardly in a
position to assemble eighty thousand
men for the maintenance of order un-
fortunately Yas true. He added that
it was nonsense for Herr Barth to talk
about three million supporters of a
monarchst counter revolution Noske
said he considered that the Bolshevik
danger to Germany had been militarily
overcome; that Berlin, with adequate
troops, is safe, while recent events in
Munich were represented as the last
serious attempt Of anarchy to seize
power.
Owe have done everything" Noske
concluded, "to maintain order in Ger
many and construct a law abiding and
ordered state. thus creating the foun-
dation for peace, but all our work, of
course, would be vain if an eco
nomic crisis or interruption of COM
munication brought collapse at the
eleventh hour, or if the Entente, by
setting up impossible peace conditions,
destroyed all our work"

Japan Ready to Help
Siberia, Says Cot0

Japan stands ready, when peace is
the Russians in the development of
the country, but will not deviate from
its announced policy of non-interfer-
ence with Siberian internal affairs,
Baron Shimpei Goto, former Japanese
Minister of Foreign Affairs, declared
here last night.
If the Russians should invite as
sistance, said the Baron. addressing
the Council of Foreign Relations, ia
pan would apply to Siberia the policies
which he said had brought Manchuria
and Corea from medieval obscurity
to active places in modern industry.
The empire would not "shrink from
the sponsibilities which dictates of
humanity and international amity
might impose upon u.s." the former
Minister stated, and in playing "the
modest role" which might be assigned
to her, would consider it q great priv
ilege, not only to cooperate with "the
great and generous people of Russia,
but with the noble and humanitarian
people of the great republic of Amer
ica."
Declaring .lapan's policy in sending
troops to Siberia was identical with
that of America, Baron Goto said
The world is grieved that the politi-
cal horizon of Siberia is still dark, and
yet we have not lost faith in the Rus
sian people. We hope they eventually
will succeed in establishing a stable
government upon advanced and sound
principles.
AS far as Japan is concerned, she
IS Russia's immediate neighbor in the
East, and no nation can be more anx-
ious than Japan to see a speedy restora-
tIon of peace and order in the regions
across the Japan Sea-

Little Hope Italy
Will Temper Demand

am told the President would choose
to return to America rather than sur
render in the Adratic matter. But l
am equally clearly advised, even by
Americans in touch with the Admin
istration, that it is becoming clearer
aud clearer that there is small prospect
that Italy will recede from her posi-
ton.
If she refuses TO recede, she hard
ly can be expected to sign the treaty
with Germany, which carries the re-
alization of at least a portion of
French and British demands, and
leaves her Adriatic demands pending.
Ii Italy refuses to sign, she has power
to invoke treaty made with her
European Allies-not secret, but a
public treaty, by which Britain, France
and Italy agreed not to make sepa-
rate peace with Germany
This raises the final question:; II
Italy refuses, will France and Britain
still sign? Here there ls more light.

not break what she regards as sol

SPRING

With the advent of spring,
there comes to many that
languid feeling commonly
called Spring fever.
The blood is sluggish; the
nerves have lost their snap;
the whole system is sadly in
need Of a tonic.
Well, the best spring tonic in
the world is a little common
sense in dieting.
Ard right here let it be un-
derstood that dieting is a
selective, not necessarily a
restrictive process.

Paris Believes
Enemy Will Sign

On the other hand, many well-n-
formed Frenchmen believe Germany
will sign, because signing is easy, and
then, as in the case of the armistce,
refuse to fulfil the terms, a process
which would again call for the exer-
else of force, this time when Allied
rehabilitation had gone still further
and Allied public opinion would even
more generally react against military
operations.
In sum. opinions differ; a majority,
I am sure, believe Germany will not
sign unless the whole treaty terms are
radically modified and the last sem
blance of victory taken from those who
bore the burden of the struggle.
AS to the Italian course, it is clear
that Italy is in the throes Of a ma
tionalistic explosion which would make
it unsafe for any Italian statesman
to surrender. The Presidents posi-
tion in the matter Of Fiume has the
approval of the fair and right minded
Europeans as question of abstract
justice. Italy, on the contrary, has
enormous sympathy growing out of
ever mounting resentment at Ameri-
can interference in purely European
questions, and the dctatorial tone that
accompanies our interference.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-30
By Frank H. Simonds

PARIS, April 28.--With the Germans
on the way to Paris events of the last
few days have raised three questions,
no one Of which can be answered at
the present hour These questions are:
I Will the Germans sign the treaty
to be presented to them?
> Will the Italians return to the
conference and sign, granted the
Germans sign?
2 Will the French and British sign,
provided the Italians refuse?
To discuss the questions in order 1t
is patent that the temporary with
drawal Of the Italians has weakened
the position of the Entente at a criti-
cal hour. Germany comes to Versailles
to face, not united and victorious
alliance, but a group of nations dimn-
ished by the secession, at least mo-
mentarily, of one of its constituent
parts. The character Of the incident
which preciptated the Italian with
drawal will lend infinite opportunity
to the German representatives to make
capital at home and in Paris

Germany to Face
A New Revolution

If Germany signs now she will con-
sent to the loss Of at least $4,000
square miles of territory and 100000
Of people together with the loss of
vast sums of money, now and in the
future. The government which signs
such treaty will presently be
q ed. Reaction will surrender to
evsm, and Bolshevism will pre-
W. aud set up new rule. Germany
Will face a new revolution and ulti-
mate chaos.
But if Germany refuses to sign,
using Mr.. Wilson'S fourteen points as
basis for her refusal, and turning
the Fiume incident to her own advan-
tage, the Allies will be faced either
with making new sacrifices to Ger
many, reducing their terms, or en-
barking upon a new expedition into
Germany. a new military operation
with possibly extended occupation Of
Germany, an occupation which Will

bers from each group represented at
the conference. Gompers' resolution

A second proposal presented by A

group, was for a national truce for
three months during which all strikes
and lockouts be called off.

Secretary of Labor Wilson for an ar.
bitration board in each industy.
By Gavin McNab, representing the
public, providing for a national arb1-

DR.. Chas. Edward Russell, another
representative Of the public, offered
a resolution for the high cost OF liv-
ing as the first step in lettering indus
trial conditions. A fourth resolution
by the public group urged recognition

Failure OF the employers to present
