where the radicals appear in the role
of martyrs. He declared that the
only real power in the Russian gov
ernment is the soviet This is not
bolsheyism.

Astoria, Ore, April 27.-(By
Mail. il.)-Although the emergency, if
there ever was any, which might
have justified the espionage act has
passed and that act ceas ed to have
force when peace was declared, the
case against four officials of the
Western Workmen's Publishing So
ciety of Astoria, Ore, came to trial
in the federal district court at Port
land, Ore, last Monday. Federal
Judge Wolverton overruled the de-
murrer brought by the defense last
Friday.
The argument in SUPPORT of the
demurrer declared that no disloyalty
was intended in articles made the
basis of the complaint, as the materi-
al was furnished by news associa

lished in English in the Portland
daily papers.

published by the other press the ac-

Whether it was because he was
unable to find sufficient republican
residents within the city limits to
fill all the city jobs at his disposal,
or because some of the folks from
home" who need jobs live out of
town, may never become known, but
the fact remains, according to an in
vestigation of the list of appointees
made by Mayor stodden Monday
night, that at least four of those
nominated and confirmed are nom
residents, while one woman named
and confirmed is non-existent and is
said to be deceased.
Communication No. $50, con-
Cured in by the city council and
passed May 10, 1915, under the Lane
administration, specifically limits the
employment of persons in any capac-
ity by the city government to quail
flied voters who have been residents
of Butte for at least two years, i'm
mediately preceding their appoint
ment or election. The communica-
ton, which is clear, is as follows:

of the city Of Butte:
THAT no person is eligible to any
Office or employment in the city of
Butte, who is not a citizen of the
United States, and who has not re-
sided in the city of Butte for at least
two years Immediately preceding his

is not a qualified elector thereof
Mayor Notified.
At last Monday nights council
meeting, just previous to the read
ing by the mayor of the list of his
appointees, his honor's attention was
called to the communication in ques-
tion by Alderman Freudenstein, thus
drawing sharp rejoinders from Alder.

assumed the position of republican
whip on the council floor, despite his
election on the democratic ticket.
At any rate, despite Freudenstein's

was doing" in the matter of appoint
ments,. the list was read and dul,
confirmed under the impression tha

MlLI7ARLSM is GROWING
FAST IN NEW GERMANY

More and more it is becoming clear
that the cabinet chose the latter
course, probably in self-defense, and
under the pretext OF saving Germany
from bolshevism.
What is more serious, both to the
Germans and other peoples, is that
the German republic is becoming
handy with militarism, and under
the cover of resisting bolshevlsm'
is evidently trying to hide the
strength of the republics military
machine.

it were really pacific, would be will

Germany, drunk with success,

Berlin, April 24.-(By Mail. y
Since its birth the German republic
has had to decide between two oppo-
site extremes to maintain itself and
keep from being oyerthrown by the
radicals.
The two courses open, as the
Ebert Scheidemann cabinet saw
them, were:
1. Bowing to the demands of the
proletariat and becoming radical, al
most to the extent of communism, or
at least extreme socialism.
g Becoming militaristic and fol-
lowing the methods of the old Ger
man government of crushing opposi-
tion by force.

RAILROAD men SEE
END OF MCADOO'S
PLAN FOR FUTURE
Executives Think That Leg
islation May Be Left to
New Congress
TO EXPECT s5OO,OOO,OOO
Believe Administration Will Allow
Wage Increase of $75,O00,000
to Employees

NEW YORK, Feb. 21-Members
of the Standing Committee of the
Association of Railway Exectives,
who attended the meeting in Wash
ington last Friday, said that little will
probably be done in the way OF. legis-
lation looking to a clarifying of the
railroad situation before late fall of
the year. At that time, they believe,
the President will either call a special
session of Congress to consider the
question of railroad legislation or the
problem will go in it's entirety TO the
new Congress.
In the interim, it is understood
that the plans of the Association of
Railway Executives call for an as
sumption by the association of more
of the duties which are now distrib-
uted among large number of indie
pendent organizations in the railway
world 1t was learned yesterday that
the standing Committee went into the
functions of many of these commit
tees and organizations thoroughly
and that one of the developments OF
the near future may be the taking
over of the duties Of the Railway
Presidents Conference Committee on
valuation. 1t is also expected that
the functions of the Committee on
Railway Mail Pay will be taken over
bv the Executives Association, as
probably also will the work of ac-
counting officers and engineers OF the
different railway companies and Or
CARNATIONS.
It is confidently expected by rail-
road men who have been in Washing
ton recently that former Director
General of Railroads McAdoo,s plan
for an extension oft he period OF Fed
eral control over a five-year period
instead of the twenty-one months
provided by the present law, will not
be adopted by Congress. At the same
time they believe that Director Gen
eral Hines will get only $50O,0O0,OOO
of the s750,OoO,0O0 he has requested
from Congress, and it is the consen-
sus of opinion that there will be
scarcely any improvements to the rail
road properties as result.
1t is believed that the railroad lab
or unions, which, are now pressing
the Railway Administration for still
added expenditure by the carriers OF
further wage increases, involving an
the country amounting to between
s75 100000 and s90,000,000, will be-
successful.

Exact Number of Military Prisoners
Since Start of War Not
Known

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Revis-
ion of sentences imposed by general
courts-martial for offenses committed
during the war is to be made by a
board of officers constituted in the
Office of the Judge Advocate General
Of the Army. Secretary Baker an
nounced that the result would be ga
substantial reduction of the sentences
in nearly all cases save those of the
gravest character, or where aggravat-
ed circumstances exist"
The exact number of military pris-
oners held since the beginning of hos
tilities affected, was not made known,
but Mr.. Baker recently informed the
Senate that $4,000 trials by general
courts-martials had been held since
the beginning of hostilities. Approx
imately $4,000 other cases were
heard, but as the charges were not
of q serious nature the trials were
special or summary courts.
