CIVIL WAR FEARED
 Rv Aeen,i,<.d Rra..

Geneva. February 22.-Further disor- ders, and even civil war, are feared, as the Munich population is greatly excited and indignant over the assassination of Kurt Eisner, who was generally loved and respected, and considered the foun- der of the German revolution.
 Revolutionary groups, according to ad- vices from Munich, have occupied all the newspaper offices, and the post and tele- graph offices, and a counter revolution may be set afoot, not only in Bavaria, but throughout Germany, which is en- couraged by Spartacans and bolshevists.
 The Vienna Femedenblatt, displaying much anxiety, says that, owing to the meracing situation in Germany, the allies must hasten to arrange peace on mod crate terms, to preserve calm and order in central Europe"
 Other Austro-German newspapers ask whether the allied armies will be forced to intervene

TANK COMMANDER EXPRESSES THANKS
 T0. ALL AMERICANS
Says Each Man in Army Has Done Duty, Feeling He Had Support of
 Entire Country
ey Asseeiatea Press


 Paris, February 22.-Generai Pershing. Herbert Hoover. Am- bassador William G. sharp and Ad- mtraI William s. Benson were speakers today at the annual lunch- con in honor of Washinston's birth day given by the American club ef Paris at the Palais D'Orsay. < asIS sspcnilgns eo l ss, sosas to Stns Amer lean army, General Pershine Sx- pressed his thanks to the American people for the support they had given to tine expeditionary forces.
 Whether keeping lonely vigil in the trenches. whether attacking machine gun nests or performing the drudgery of the rear, or supplying the front line, each man has done his duty" said Gen. eral Pershing, "and he his felt that he had behind him the support of the whole country. By his courage, in- domitable will, his splendid organiza- ton and his tenacity, the American sol- dier has turned impending defeat into overwhelming victory. I drink to the American soldier, than whom there is no better in the world today. Long live the American soldier!'
 Admiral Benson, replying to the toast to the navy, said, in humorous vein, that the navy had also performed its duty, but desired to be modest about it. He recalled the fact that General Pershing. before joining the army, was a midshipman, adding:
 "It is good thing for us that he has snice left the navy,
 Admiral Benson said during the last months of the war, the organization of the navy watch along the Atlantic coast and the positions of the various squad rons of dreadnaughts, cruisers and de- stroyers, made it impossible for the German navy even to attack the allied transports. Now that the state of war was over, the navy had taken over numerous merchant ships and at pres- ent was actually manning 37 ships en- gagged in the task of helping Hoover feed Europe.
 HOOVER SPEAKS
 There have been few moments in the worlds history more pregnant with anxiety than today said MT. Hoover. "The situation in Europe is so chaotic every one must unite and refrain from discussing problems with preconceived ideas. The results of four years of de- struction, not alone among the allies, but also in the enemy countries, must be met. Before the war the supply of food in Europe was sufficient to last six months. But European production was

 Senate will debate the proposed
 league of nations almost contfnu-
 ously until final adjournment on
 March 1.
 Senators began announcing their .n- tention to speak immediately after Senator Reed of Missouri, democrat had concluded two-hour address to- day in which he attacked the leagues constitution, declaring 1t meant aodl- cation of American sovereignty, vio- lated the federal constitution ana would involve the United States in all foreign entanglements.
 Senator Lewis of Illinois, the demo- cratic whip. will reply Monday to Sem ators Poindexter and Borah with de- fense of President Wilson's stand on the league and it was indicated that other senators not members of the TOT eign relations committee, would ex- press their views in advance Of tne White House conference Wednesoay night, at which the President will dis cuss the document, article by articie, with the foreign affairs committees oi the two houses.

 When Senator Reed concluded. after speaking more than two hours, there was loud and long applause in whicl, senators, members of the House am kaileries joined Many members of- fered congratulations.
