POWERO BAVARIA
SOV|ETS IN DOUBT
Meet With Great Opposition.
National Conference Against
E'Red" Rule.
PLEA AGAINST HOTHEADS

BERLIN, Sunday, April s (by the
Associated Press) ).-There has been
no definite news here concerning the
situation in Munich since the reports
were received of the early exciting
occurrences. From such news as has
reached Berlin, however, it seems
probable, that a soviet government
has not yet been proclaimed in any
way that can be regarded as official
or binding.
The proponents Of the plan met
with strong opposition in two quar-
ters. The Bavarian diet, it is true.
can hardly meet Tuesday, as had
been the program, because it is not
assured of the support of the troops
in Munich (who were reported in
Munich dispatches Saturday to have
expressed sympathy with the soviet
cause. but to have declared their in
tention to maintain neutrality. al
though they would not protect the
ciet building, which is armed with ma
chine guns).
Soviets Meet Opposition.
The proponents of the soviet ide.
however. have met with great op-
position on the part of the bour-
seoisie, on the one hand, and the
peasants on the other. The neasants
hold the trump card in their contro,
OF the supply of foodstuffs. which
Ihey have declared they would refuse

ment were proclaimed.

PARIS, April (b- the Associated

a point so far on the road to recovery

Buffalo a Case in Point.

= Buffalo seems case in point. Here
they have had all the symptoms of
an after-the-war distemper. some of
the germs. but none of the dire eff
fects which pessimistic persons were
predicting would become epidemic in
industrial centers where war plants
sent wages sky high and prices, too.
Buffalo hasn't adjusted itself fully
to the changing conditions and seems
to be in the middle period yet, but it
has had its bolshevist scare, its
''workmen and soldiers and sailors :"
councils. as well as it's returning SOL
diers walking the streets in search of
jobs. 1t has had it's troubles with
amateur committee of well meaning
but inexperienced persons who know
very little about employment prob
lens anyway, and finally organized its
business men and employers into
committee that embraces wholesale,
retail and factory alike, and system
has been substituted for confusion.
Ten soldiers looking for jobs in ten
different places no longer make the
total one hundred because of a fail
ure to check up applicants registered
with the numerous auxiliary organiza-
tions trying to help the returning he
roeu.

VIEW OF AMERICAS
TRANSITION PERIOD
How After-War Problems in
Industrial World Are
Being Solved.
TYPIFIED IN BUFFALO, N. Y.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

BUFFALO, n. Y, April What
are the American people thinking
about? Certainly one doesn't find the
answer in Paris or in Washington.
What are Americas after-the-war
conditions as compared with those
that keep Premier Lloyd George hur-
rying back and forth across the Eng
1ish channel from the peace confer
ence, or that make Premier Orlando
nervous as he sits in Paris. but wor-
ryinG about Rome? What of bolshe-
vism and unemployment and business
stagnation? Is America standing
still, waiting on the peace confer
encs or are war industries being con-
verted to peace utilities?
To get a glimpse of America in the
transition period. to estimate at it's
true political value the wave of rad
icalism or liberalism, one must turn
from the councils of statesmen
abroad and the atmosphere of the
political-minded in Washington, tray
erse the country, talking with rep
resentative men of. all factions of
politics, of all classes of society-the
man of the street. as well as the man
of the club. What is one city's ex-
perience may be of guidance to an
other community.

CHANGE IS REFUSED

Montgomery, June 3.-(Special.) )-Find- ing no difficult engineering work to be done over what is termed the Rider wood road from Butler to the Mississipp! state line, the state highway commis- sion Tuesday refused to override the oe. cision of the Choctaw county board Of revenue and change a proposed route for A federal aid road in Choctaw county The finding of the state commission 1oi- lowed an all-day session Monday, when two delegations of Choctaw citizens ue- scribed two proposed routes for the road.
 It appears that the commissioners oi the county selected the Riderwood route for the road. There developed strong op- position and the state commission wa' called to settle the matter. The state commission inspected the two routes ai'd found that the county commissioners hao made a wise selection for the road. After giving due consideration to all the facts the commission Tuesday granted state aid to Choctaw county and authorized the building of the road from Butler te the Mississippi state line.

The Fourth regiment of infantry. Alabama national guard, was a part of this di- vision. The Thirty-first division also con tains some national guard troops from Alabama. The national guard units from Alabama in this division were the First and Second regiments of infantry, First regiment of cavalry, Company A, SiSnal corps, and Ambulance Company No. l, and Hospital Company No. l. This divi- sion was trained and organized at Camp Wheeler, Ga. The first units sailed fof France September l6. 1918, and the last units arrived in France November 9, l9ls. The Eighty-second division was composed of national army or drafted men. some or whom were drawn from Alabama. It was trained and organized at Camp Gordon, Ga. The first units of this division sailed for France April 25. 1918. and the last units arrived in France June l, 1918
 The cabled reports made by General Pershing covering the work of the Vari- ous divisions speak for themselves anu there is little that the council of nauonal defense can add, for in the end the tact of service itself is greater than any state ment which can be made about that serv ice and record of the battles fougn' by Alabama's s sons is the basis TOT stronger appreciation than it IS wltnin the power of the council or the govern ment itself to put in words.
 If it is possible to lay the commu nioues before the people of Alabama they will give the campaign for the $5oo,ooo necessary to construct a substantial ana lasting memorial to Alabama their own indorsement and that indorsement Will be a very much greater thing and much more lasting thing than it is in my power to express'
