RULE ENDS
IN BERl N

! BERLIN, Jan. 14--Berlin's long
Here and there, scattered troops still
fire occasionally from some house
and during the night attempts were
made by small bands of the followers
of DR.. Karl Liebknecht to revive the
reign of terror. They are Insignificant
however, compared with what has
passed.
DIR. Liebknecht's sister was arrested
today and several hundred rebels are
locked up awaiting trial
Losses inflicted on each side dur
ing the past week are estimated to ex-
ceed 200 killed and thousand
wounded. The overwhelming major
ity OF these are Bolshevics.
Property losses during the pas
week OF terror amounted to 100000
600 marks in addition to the damage
TO the paper plants and government
buildings. Merchants losses through
looting average high. one man being
captured with 10000 marks worth
of Jewels which he had stolen.
The center OF the city has been
quiet - day today. Late this even
ing q few shots were heard in differ
ent parts of the town, being fired by
snipers and looters.
A
around the suburb of Moabic, one of
the most important industrial sections
i'm greater Berlin, for the purpose OF
carrying out the work of disarming
civilians and such Spartacan fighters
as are still at liberty. They are being
cornered and the houses entered by
| searching parties. The telephone
service has been stopped for the pur-
, pose OF making Moabit as alright as
| possible.
DIR. Karl Liebknecht. the Spartaean
| leader, George Ledebour, head of the
revolutionary independent SOCIALIST
element F/i their immediate sup
porters were 10 taken that their plans
| for the recent uprising would succeed
| that they had declared a proclama-
| tion dated Jan. 6, In which the
| Schneidman government was de-
! clared deposed, and formal announce
ment made that the government had
been taken over by the revolutionists.

Barrel Plant Burns in Fire
That RACES Three Hours

A. fire which ragged for over three
hours partially destroyed the barrel
Factory owned by Max Shapiro, which
is situated at 451 New Brunswick
avenue, and the estimated loss incur
red by the blaze 10 $4,000, none of
which is covered by insurance. The
alarm of fire was rung in from box IS
at about 1:10 this morning and the
firemen Immediately responded, but
when they arrived on the scene the
blaze had already gained great head
way In the storehouses to the right of
the office. Shapiro. beside dealing in
barrels, is also an agent for a tire
company and had a large stock of big
truck tires which were totally de-
stroyed in the building in which the
fire originated. The loss sustained by
the tires alone counts up to about
5000.
The prompt and quick work OF the
firemen saved the blaze from spread
ing to the other large storehouses
which had in them an immense stock
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-01-15

of barrels.
The buildings in which the fire
started comprise nearly half the fac
tory and are totally destroyed, in
some parts the top floor having fallen
in on the rest of the debris, causing
considerable damage. There was
quite bit Of tar and other inflamma-
BILE substances In the storage houses
and 1t is thought that these helped to
feed the flames and make IL all the
more difficult for the fireighters.
The cause of the fire Is as yet un-
known but 1t is thought that sponta-
neous combustion was the factor that
started the blaze. Mr.. Shapiro is now
endeavoring to ascertain whether the
fire was started in any other manner
than that of chemical reaction in a
pile of refuse in the part of the store
houses where the blaze was first no
ticed.
Last night is about the third time
that the factory has been destroyed
by fire.

With the resumption today of the
meeting preliminary to the peace
conference it is apparent that the
movement to create a league of ma
tions is being carried on by two
forces, having the same object but
differing as to the means for making
effective the decisions of the proposed
worlds society. One of these repre-
sent the contention that the condi-
tions of the league must be that 1t
combine physical forces, while the
other represents the view that its
finding can be enforced without the
ais of q common world police force.
Diplomatic scenes impressed with
the view that both are moving toward
a common ground which. for exam
@e, might ssvovicas~uShat the ns.,sspns
should reserve yssaAAasl J
case their decision whether tnry
would utilize armed force or avail
themselves of other means.
! The plans are being rapidly put IN
to shape in the formal conferences
ard are working toward a position
where the peace conference in full
session can discuss them thoroughly.
The work before today's session Of
the Supreme Council comprise COM
pletion of the allotment of represen-
tation of the various nations and a
further blending into the question of
whether Russia shall have delegates
of a larger body. In a large sense
the work today may be compared to
that of credentials committee pre-
ceding the sitting of an American ma
tional convention. The preliminary
session will continue work OF the
question continually, with the expec-
tation of having 1t entirely disposed
OF by Thursday. when the first formal
eitfinp NJ tho peace congress will be
held.
The program commonly agreed up
on calls for primary consideration of
the forming of a league of nations
and the congress will work on this to
the exclusion of all other subjects.

NUMBER ONE.

VTTHEN we got into the war, said
Wv Colonel j. B. Kemper. of the
Army Recruiting Office, 325
Market street, Harrisburg, to a Tele-
graph men, I'VE had in the United
States Regular Army, National
Guard, the whole works put to-
gether, the grand sum of 400 three
inch field guns; 400 guns, think of
! that. l don't know how many were
delivered before the armistice, but
! there were actually on order on No
vember 11th, 9,127 three-iEch guns,
think of that, more than eighteen
times as many as were in existence
in the whole country when we en-
tered the war. Most of the contracts
were cancelled, but there have been
delivered since November 11th. 1,211
three-inch pieces. AS to heavier
type guns, siege artillery we called
them before this war, we were won-
derfully equipped? We had three
batteries of AT inch guns, IL guns in
all. At the time of the armistice
there were on order 1,123, or 93
times as many as we had at the start
of the war. Since the armistice 263
have been delivered or % times the
original number, ana the balance
has been cancelled. OF inch
howitzers we also had IL guns. OI'
November 11th, the contracts called
for 1928, or 152 times our original
number. 62S, or So times the old
number have actually been delivered
since the armistice. OF big siX-inch
rifles, such as are used on board
ship, why! we never even thought
of using such guns in the field, but
the armistice caught us with 2,0S9
on order, 270 have been delivered
ard 224 are still on order, the bal
ance was cancelled. The Japanese,
during their way with Russia, had
used few 11-inch howitZers IN the
siege of Port Arthur, but we had
never even considered using any
thing larger than siX-inch howitzers
for field work, nevertheless, on No
vember 11th, we had 11S eight-irch
howitzers on order, of which 6S
have since been delivered and we
also had the mere trifle of 1,l59
nine and half-inch howitzers on
order, of which "a have been de-
livered and S75 are still being built,
the orders for the rest having been
cancelled.
THE larger guns. 12-inch, 14-inch,
15-inch, 16-inch, etc, were railroad
stuff and l have no figures yet on
them. But here is the hub of the
whole business: When we entered
the war we had $50 field guns in
existence in the United States On
November 18th, we had built some
thousands and had contracted for
15,434, or 80 times as many as we
had at the start. The American
Steam Roller had gotten under way
and the Boche saw what was COM
ing, real Steam Roller not Rus
sian balloon"

HOLD BABY SHOW

During every evening last week
the young women of the Capital
Street Presbyterian Church conduct
ed a bazar to raise funds for re-
modelling the kitchen of the church.
1t was successful affair through
out, but the interesting closing fea-
tIire was a baby show Friday night.
There were nine babies entered and
the voting contest as to the most
popular of the kiddies was quite ami
mated, resulting in a considerable
increase of the funds. The first prize
was a gold necklace, the second a
silver knife, fork and spoon, and the
third a silver drinking cup. All the
other babies received consolation
prizes. Mrs. Daniel Potter was chair
man of the committee in charge
and her assistant was Miss Lillian
Potter.
