Geneva, Feb. 22.-Kurt Eisner, the
premier Of Bavaria, was shot dead at
Munich. Herr Eisner, with Herr
Merkle, his isecretary, was walking
along the Prnnnerstrasse to attend the
opening Of the landtag, where he In
tended to deliver an important
speech. Suddenly Lieut.. Count Arco
Valley, formerly an officer In the
Prussian guards. shouting, Down
with the revolution, long live the
Kaiser!' fired at Herr Elsner from
behind at a distance Of a few yards.
Two bullets penetrated the pre-
mler's head and he fell dead on the
pavement. A sailor shot down his as
sallant, who ia. reported to be mortal
ly injured. The first news of the
tragedy reached the landtag when a
Bavarian soldier, holding Herr Els
ner's blood-covered spectacles In his
hand, entered, shouting: "Eisner has
been murdered!" The assassination
has created a great sensation at Num-
ich and grave troubles are feared, as
Herr Eisner was the idol of the pop
ulation Of the city.

Boston, Feb. 25.-President Wilson
landed at Commonwealth pier ut IL :53
o'clock yesterday morning. ExtraOr-
dinary precautions were taken to
guard him during his visit, armed
troops and police being on duty along
,hc route he took from the pier to his
holei, and riflemen being stationed on
The roofs of downtown buildings.
hanks Of troops presented, arms as the
nations chief executive arrived home
after his history-making trip to
Europe. From the revenue cutter Os-
s'pce. which brought him ashore from
the transport George Washington to
the elevator In the pier building, the
President walked over n velvet carpet
heueath canopy of flags. AS the
revenue cutter came up the harbor
with its escort of naval vessels, sa-
lutcs were fired and steamers In the
hov greeted the President with bed
lrm of footing whistles and sirens.
Boston.-Throwing down the glove
of defiance at all senators and others
who oppose the league of nations,
President Wilson signalized tie first
day of his return in a way that gave
the deepest comfort TO those Of his
friends who wanted him to make II
fighting speech. The camp that was
hoping for battle speech got its
wish. The President arrived in Bos-
ton and was driven through 100000 of
his fellow citizens TO the Copley-Plaza,
where he took luncheon and went
from there to Mechanics hall immedi-
ately. There 1000 people, all that
could be crowded into the hall, testi-
fled their. satisfaction at every point
he made, especially where he chal-
lenged the senatorial and other oppon-
ents of his policy to the fight of their
lives. The great event of the day was
his speech. the only speech so far rs
is known. which he will deliver dur
ing the short period of his stay In
America. II divided itself into two
parts, the first being. from the stand
point Of those who want shoulder-hit-
ting tactics, painfully general and
"idealistic." The second was all for
war.
