George Vice, son of Arthur Vice Of
Dryburg, is living, we'll and happy,
and with the army of occupation in
Germany, after having been reported
killed in action, and insurance pay
ments made to his father.
Leaving home when but a boy, be-
cause of unpleasant family relations,

Montana and lived there for several
years without communicating with his
parents. His mother died in the
meantime, unknown to him.
At the outbreak of the war Vice
was drafted and trained at Camp
Green. He went overseas about year
ago. Reported killed in action on
June 19 of last year, the war depart

Bauariat1 Government is
Losing Force; Situation
More Critical Than EUer
Support Of Old Leaders In
creases and May Cause
Big Change.
Socialist and Communist
Parties Are Not at All
United.

Munich, Tuesday, April S.-(By the
Associated Press)-With another "a
hours behind it the Bavarian council
government appears less able to-im-
pose itself upon the country and the
general political situation has become
more involved and threatening than
ever. Not only has the support OF the
old government taken concrete form,
ocrats in South Bavaria has Widened
until the Majority Socialists. the In
dependent Socialists and the Com
munists are not at all united.
The Independent Socialist Of Mu-
mich and Nuremberg are split hope
lessly. In the latter city they are op-
posed to the Sovi-t system for the
present, the former city siding with
the proponents Of that system. but
laying down twelve conditions, includ-
ing dictatorship of the proletariat,
the building up of workmen's coun-
ellis, the Socialization of the bureau
cracy according to the principles OF
the workmen's peasants and soldiers
councils. the introduction OF general
labor duty for the bourgoisie. the re-
constitution of courts on revolution
ary basis, the reconstruction Of the
dwelling system, the separation OF the
church and state. the immediate rev.
olutionizing Of the system of school
education, the Socialization Of the
press and the creation of a red alli-
ance with Russia and Hungary. They
also demand proportionate represen-
tation- of the three parties In the CEN
trail council.
The council has accepted these con-
ditions, so the Independent Socialists
are supporting the Soviet plan but
their leader, DR.. Levien. is still pes
simistic and believes that the present
council fails to represent the pro-
letariat and that the basic idea of the
council has been strangled. The Ma
jority Socialists in South Bavaria
have gone utterly to pieces and are
wholly at outs with those in the
north. The bourgeoisie of both north
and south Bavaria are working with
renewed vigori to prevent the estab.
lishment Of the present council sys.
TEN. The original cabinet. contain
ing two Majority Socialists has been
altered SO as to eliminate them and
several others to whom objection was
made. 'r
