Copenhagen, March lZ.-Sparta-
cans have armed a mob of 100000,
including criminals and army de-
serters. according to police esti-
mates, Berlin dispatches reported
today.
The Berlin revolt is being direct
ed by former Police President
Efchorn by telephone from Bruins
wick, where he is living under an
alias, the dispatches said.
Insurgents were reported to be
dropping aerial bombs on quiet por-
tions of the city.
Reds Advance I'm Prsrsia. V
BasIe, March 12.-Martial law
has been proclaimed in the West
Prussian districts of Briesen, Thorn
and Kuhn, owing to the advance OF
Spartacan forces from the east, &C
cording to dispatches received here
today.
The dispatch would indicate the
Spartacans are advancing upon the
districts referred to from Russian Po-
land. Thorn is situated on the Wis.,
tula river. just inside the Russo-Ger-
man boundary. Briesen is 800 miles
northeast Of Thorn and Kuhn twenty
five miles north. From the wording
Of the dispatch it would seem the
''Spartacans" either are under direc-
ton OF the Russian Bolsheviki. or the
name has been applied to the Boil
sheviki themselves.
Berlin Mennced Anew.
Berlin, March 12-Berlin is menaced
anew by Spartacan outbreaks. Gov
ernment troops, after desperate fight
ing. captured the greater part of the
suburb Of Lichtenberg. Most of the
Spartacans fed from there to the
southeastern part of the city proper.
Strongly reinforced by recruits, they
entrenched themselves. From these
new positions their artillery now en-
dangers a large portion Of the city.
Meanwhile the insurgent forces re-
manning in Lichtenberg fell back to
the railway station, where they or
ganiZed new defenses. Detachment
Of a large part Of the government
forces to combat the Spartacans in
the northeastern section of the city
rendered capture of the Lchtenberg
station a serious problem.
The governments position was
made increasingly difficult by public
demand that use Of artillery and air
plane bombs cease Through fear
that resistance to this demand nigh,
turn the people against the govern
ment it seemed possible that Wal
Minister Noske would accede.
While the fighting gained IN inten-
sity the center of Berlin was the
scene of gay social affairs, cafes and
dance halls being crowded to ca
pacity.

WEIGH CERNANY'S
 AB|LITYlTO PAY
Ra0uI Petref Would Carefully Avoid Asking Too Much Cash at Once Would Hold Customs Tariffs
 as Security.

Paris, Feb 6.-Germany is making utmost efforts to have the allies be- lieve she is nearing bankruptcy, de- clared Raoul Petret, chairman of the budget commission of the chamber of deputies, and former minister of jus tice, in discussing, today, the finan- cial problems facing the peace confer ence. The first measures of the con- ference along financial lines, he add ed, should be to take measures to prevent Germany from declaring her self an insolvent debtor or a bank rupt state.
 "Then," Peret continued, i've should immediately fix the amount of our account against Germany which she must be made to pay to the full limit of her financial ability without consideration for her feelings. It will be time enough then to decide upon the method of payment. She may pay either in cash immediately or in yearly instalments.
 T do not believe that Germany at the present time is in a position to pay a large amount in cash. We must not demand from her a too heavy payment now, so as not to place her in position where she might argue that we are strangling her and kill ing the goose that is to lay the gold en eggs.
 
 Whether the instaiments we shall demand from Germany be twenty, thirty es fifty billions of francs year ly depends entirely upon our decision, after an investigation, as to what amount Germany will be able to pay. These payments would be guaranteed by customs tariffs decided upon at the conference, reserving for our selves the right to raise such tariffs should Germany fail to meet her obli- gations"

 Governor Brough today signed the bill creating the Main and Broadway bridge districts here, to erect two bridges across the Arkansas river, as well as the Carter bill to prohibit operation of pool and billiard halls in Franklin county.
 The Normal school fund is obtain ed under a one-ninth mill tax and the University fund under a four -ninths mill tax. Both bills were vigorously attacked, because they were not item ized. The Normal was passed by a vote of 65 to 5. Those opposing were Held, Ewell, Jameson, Light and Williams of Perry.
 There was harder fight over the University bill, which makes the fol- lowing appropriations and which also was passed: For salaries, $250, ,000; for maintenance and equipment; $2l0,000; for purchase of land for farm for college of agriculture, $25,- GOO; for purchase of additional land for college of agriculture and agri- cultural experiment station, $50 900: to pay interest on university endow- ment fund, $14,ss6.
 Bohlinger of Yell, Kennedy of Se- bastian, Holloway of Lonoke, and Da- vidson of Washington, made strong arguments in favor of it's passage. The bill passed by vote of 79 to 8, those voting in the negative being Cover, Jameson, Kelly, Redd, Rodg- CTS, Thompson of Independence, Turner and Williams of Perry.
 The senate passed a bill to appro- priate S24,000 to pay the debts of the Arkansas commission at the Panama Pacific exposition, and another for s70,000 to purchase farm for the state hospital for nervous diseases.
 The joint senate and house public service corporations committee have voted to amend the administration public service corporation bill to make it's members selective rather than appointive. They would serve for six years and receive salaries of $4,200 each per annum.
 Davidson of Washington introduced bill in the house to regulate the practice of osteopathy. It wos post poned, after it's first reading, until June 1, some three months after the legislature will have adjourned.
 The house had a story afternoon session, with much oratory, on Ewell's and Seamster's bill providing that $8.75 of each automobile licenee fee go back to the county. The bill was defeated, 56 to 30.
 Among the local bills passed by the senate today was one by Senator Johnston to permit the official cotton weigher of Polk county to do public weighing.

 Lives and to Tie Up Industry.

 The resolution, offered by Senator Walsh of Montana, Democrat, and adopted without roll call, extended the committees power ''to inquire concerning any efforts being made to propagate in this country the princi- ples of any party exercising or claim ing to exercise authority in Russia, whether such efforts originate in this country or are melted or financed from abroad, and further, to inquire into any effort to incite the overthrow of the government of this country or all governments by force or by de- struction of life or property, or the general cessation of industry"
 Congressman Involved.
 Senators joined in impassioned de- nunciation of the alleged propaganda and also of meeting held here last Sunday at which Russian Soviet gov ernment was praised as superior to the American form of government. Senator Poindexter of Washington, Republican, introduced a resolution calling for investigation by the De partment of Justice of the assembly here which was addressed by Repre- sentative Mason of Illinois, and at which Representatives Gordon of Ohio and Dillon of South Dakota were present. This resolution went over for further discussion.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, Feb. 10.-Those who have been going to the state capitol have been impressed with the cheaP and unattractive storm door at the front entrance. It is not in keeping with the beauty of the building, which is the pride of the state. This aetu- ated Representative Owen Kendrick to introduce a bill in the House the other day to make an appropriation for a modern revolving storm door, which will likely get thru the Senate this week, and within few days it will be installed. His bill also pro- vides for permanent elevator service in the Capitol. As it is now, the ele- vator runs only when the legislature is in session. and not all the time then.

 Internal Troubles Says German

London, Feb. 5.-Any idea that Germany's final collapse was due to a revolution or solely to the blockade, is secuted in an article in the Frank fort Zeitung by the military writer, Major PauIus, who maintains that General Ludendorff was right when, at the end of September, he an nounced that it was impossible to continue the war any longer.
 This was not due" says Paulus, "to anything that occurred in Ger many. but it was because of the mill tary situation.

Vladivostok. Feb. 10.-Reports re- ceived here today from Omsk state that the Russian government there has accepted the offer from Japan of men, money and arms to settle the Bolsheviki difficulty.
