STRIKE MOVE
 IS SPREADING

AMSTERDAM, March 5.-.(F-A Berlin despatch states that the strike movement is spreading turnout Ger. many, making rapid progress in all sections. The Spaftacan and Com. munist combination is spreading the strike doctrine in every district and daily new followers are noted in the ranks.
 In spite of the appeal made by the Spartacan leaders for the strik- CTS to avoid street demonstrations. it Is believed that when once the strike is under full swing larger and bloodier disturbances will occur. The government Is taking steps to meet all emergencies and will not hesitate to use extreme force in quelling all disturbances regardless of party.

RETURNING MEN COME HOME IN
 QUIET MANNER

MUNICH. Feb. 15.-(F1 Mail.--The returning and demobilizing armies here, in great part, come quietly home, put down their arms and dis band without trouble. A small per centage of the unruly element. such as compose the Liebknecht-spartacus anarchistic group, however. has made as much trouble as possible, and has shown special fondness for crooked horse deals.
 The Peasants Council of Munich makes public report to show that hundreds of returning soldiers have been permitted to keep a horse as a souvenir. The permission naturally does not come from the military au. thorities but from underlings. and the soldiers have then put the animals thus secured on the market at ri diculous prices.
 One regiment that should have had 800 horses returned with but 80. the rest having been sold, in many cases 1t Is feared. for slaughter--an easy way of concealing all traces. The city authorities recently confscated 97 animals that had been sold ir this underhand way for slaughter The Peasants Council has organized guard of forty men to help put down the evil.

RAILWAY UNDER
 HEAVY EXPENSE

vLADIvOSTOK. Feb. 15-(P) Mail. The expense of operating the trans Siberian railway is exceeding its in- come by the normal equivalent of about s4O.000.OO0 a month. says a writer in a local newspaper. Only two trains daily now are operated be- tween Vladivostok. Cheljabinsk and Ekaterinburg, and one of these is a military train. The writer asserts that the road has enough equipment to- give daily service of eight trains across Siberia to the Russian cities.
 Reasons assigned for failure to develop the road to its capacity are destruction of the Onon bridge, mill. tary management. shortage of sup plies. scarcity of food for railway employees and financial difficulties.

PARK MYSTERY IS EXPLAINED
 AFTER WAITING

TACOMA. Feb. 15.-(R Mail-- Year after year, during the winter time, there have been reports of earth shocks felt from Mount Raj. nier, in the Rainier National Park reports received by pioneers of this section with more or less skepti. cism, but at last the mystery of the shocks" has been solved.
 The solution of the mystery fol- lowed careful observation made by winter caretakers in Paradise Inn. the hotel in Paradise valley. There observations showed that the shocks came only in the winter time and after heavy rainfall and storms on the mountain summit. Mount Raj. nier itself has been known as an extinct volcano. altho summit climb CTS are witnesses of the fact that there are still some pretty lively rumblings and spoutings in progress in the mountains old crater. In fact, steam and gases are in many places elected with such force that very considerable areas within the old crater are kept free of snow and ice, while at places near the sum. nit the rock surface Is still hot.
 When the hotel was erected three years ago the first reports of earth shock were soon verified. At that elevation--5.500 feet-they became very real to the men staying In the snow fields turnout the winter. In December, 1916. the first shock was reported by the watchmen, who said that the floor of the Inn felt like tremendous ocean wave was passing under it, timbers creaked. dishes rattled and the sensation was terrifying" The severe shocks re- peated that winter re-occurred from time to time during the next two winters.
 But there was never even 8 sug. gestion of tremor during the sum- mer months. and therein lay the mys. tery.
 It was discovered. according to park officials. in a very natural way. The new snow of storms was forced by terrific winds into crater vents until these openings were completely closed. In that way steam election was temporarily stopped. Once the vents were closed, the snow and ice packed rapidly upon the top and ef- Actively shut in the gases of the old volcano for time. Gradually the increasing steam pressure be. came great enough to again force open the old crater vents thru the snow cap, literally blowing the plugs out. Thus full fledged earthquake level, which is one.third the height of the mountain.
 Park officials have said nothing of the earth shocks. waiting their explanation. But with the solving of the mystery this winter. confirming previous observations, they felt that a load had been taken off their minds-relieving fear that possi. bly, the mountains winter snorting meant to convey a deeper meaning than they cared to think of.

MUSHROOM CITY IS DIMINISHING
 QUITE RAPIDLY

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 14..- R) Mail.-When the United States entered the war a monster munition plant was projected at Nitro. fourteen miles from here on the Kanawha river and city sprang into exist. ence almost in week. Twenty thousand men working there. and long rows of houses were built by the government to shelter its em. ployees and their families.
 Activity at Nitro practically ceased at the signing of the armistice and thousands of men left Nitro and Charleston. The last developments are an inventory of the plant and equipment, just begun. and the changing of the plant into an ord. nance supply station. The war de- partment has recommended the ras- ing of every other row of the bunga- lows so hastily constructed. This step has been ordered as a matter of fire protection.
 The wheels of the plant have been silent ever since the Hercules Pow der company turned back the indus try to the government two months ago and no official announcement has been received from Washington as to what disposition will be made of the expensive proposition.
