RED LEADERS SLAIN
BY MOBS IN BERLIN
DR.. Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Lux
emburg Killed
LIEBK NECHT MADE DASH
Ordered to Halt, and Failing, Soldiers
Fired, Death Being Almost
instantaneous.

Berlin, Jan. 20.-Dr. Karl Lieb-
knccht and Rosa Luxembourg have
been killed.
When it became known that DR..
Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg
were at the Hotel Eden, in the west
ern part of the city, crowd rapidly
congregated and stormed the hotel
lobby to lay hands on them. Both
were spirited to side entrance to
the hotel, but the mob forestalled the
attempt of the troops to save Frau
lein Luxembourg. She was beaten
into insensibility and then thrown
into an automobile by the crowd,
which intended to take her to prison.
Shot Through Head.
A few blocks down the street the
machine was halted by second mob
and when the presence of Fraulein
Luxembourg became known man
jumped on the running board Of the
car and shot her through the head.
The body was dragged from the auto
mobile and carried off. 1t is supposed
it was thrown into the canal, but it
has not been found In the meantime
DR.. Liebnecht was hurried into an
other automobile by officers and
troops and the car was headed for
the Bobait prison. While going
through the Tiergarten the machine
was halted by a puncturcd tire. DR..
Liebnecht was asked to get out by
the officers, who intended to hail an
other automobile ana continue toward
the prison. While waiting DR.. Lieb-
knecht made an attempt to escape
and was shot dead by the soldiers
who had anticipated such an effort
on his part.
Identified by Shirt
When DR.. Licbknecht was arrested
at the home Of relative on Manu-
hcimerstrasse yesterday morning he
stoutly denied his IDENTITY After be-
ing escorted to the Eden Hotel he
was searched and his monograph, az
H." was discovered in his shirt.
DR.. Liebknecht's capture was due to
q telephone conversation overheard
by detectives in which ne and Rosa
Luxembourg agreed to meet at the
home of man named Mancusson in
the suburbs of Wilmcrsdorf Marcus
sons home, the police say, has long
been one of the gathering places of
the Spartacans.
Last Desperate Dash.
DR.. Liebknecht's attempt at ESCAPE
was the last desperate dash for free
dom on the part of man who had
left prison only last October. When
the automobile which was carrying
him broke down he was warned
ag1inst any attempt at flight. The
officer in charge asked Dr.. Lieb-
knecht, who was bleeding from IA
wound in the head he had received
through being struck by a cane in the
hands Of some member of the mob
whether he felt able to walk a few
hundred yards to the next street,
where new automobile could be
found.
Dr.. Licbknccht said he could and the
party started to walk. When near a
group of trees Or. Lebknecht pushed
aside the soldier nearest him and
dashed for the underbrush in the
Tierrortcn The soldiers ordered him
to halt. He paid no attention to their
demands and several shots were fired
at him.
One bullet struck him in the base of
the neck, squarely between the should
crs, and death Yas almost instantan-
eOus.

Maj. James Monroe Of Jeffersonville
Fla, son of James Monroe, fifth pres
ident Of the United States.
That son Of the fifth president OF
the United States should be living Is
proof that ours is still a very young
republic. This remarkable man will be
104 years old on the fourth day Of next
July.
He was born in Richmond, Va, in
the year 1915, and he does not appear
to be any older than some men quar-
ter Of a century younger than he. He
had a sister who lived to be los years
old.
He is a veteran Of the Mexican and
Civil Wars and had enthusiasm enough
to offer his services to the government
in the war with Germany. His work
in the shipyards is, in a way, service
for his country, as he took the place
of younger man released for war SER
vice when he entered upon it.
He was but IL years old when his
father died. Worry does not enter into
Major Monroe's philosophy Of life. He
is Of the opinion that it is inimical to
longevity and he knows that it lessons
the JOY Of life. The other enemy OF
old age, high living, has never had a
chance to shorten his years.-Kansas
