Spartacan Outbreaks in Ger.
many Said To Be Gaining.
Government Has Decided on
Strong Measures To End 1t.

Berlin, Feb. 3.-The new Spnrtacan
outbreak is gaining strength in Vari-
GUS parts of the country, it was re-
vealed in dispatches received here to-
day. The government has decided
upon severe respressive measures and
hard fighting is looked for.
Government troops were reported to
be marching against Spartacah forces
which are entrenched around Dussel-
dorf The government has obtained
consent from the entente to take this
action, since Dusseldorf is in the neu-
trail zone.
At Eisenach, workmen and soldiers
held a Spartacan uprising yesterday.
They seized the telegraphs and decided
to oppose the government. They are
reported to have declared they will
use force to influence the national as
sembly meeting at Weimar. The gov
ernment is sending picked troops to
prevent disorders in Weimar. Anyone
boarding a train for Weimar must
have a special permit and all unde-
sirables are being weeded out in that
city.
Bremen was reported to be prac-
tically a great Spartacan camp.
1t is cut off from all telegraph and
telephone communication with the
outside world. Spartacan leaders have
threatened to mobilize their entire
strength ana 1lgnt TO finish unless
Military Governor Noske recalls the
troops he has sent to restore order.
In the meantime, the government is
attempting to persuade the Spartacans
to evacuate peacefully, to save his
toric public buildings from destruction,
as Noske has announced he will bonn
bard the city.
Hamburg and Wilhe1mshaven,
where Spartacan uprisings were re-
ported, are said to be quiet again.

ship in the Future.

London, Feb. 3.-The abolition of
submarines as war ships may be de-
cided upon by the league of nations
committee during the coming week,
according to the Paris correspondent
of the Mail. 1t is said that this was
one of the several understandings
which were reached during the con-
ference of Friday between President
Wilson, Colonel House. General Smuts
and Lord Robert Cecil, and will prob
ably be proposed among the first
planks of the platform at the sessions
this week. during which it is hoped
the leagues constitution may be def
initely formed. British and American
delegates representing the biggest ma
val powers are said to have sounded
all naval opinion on this point. 1t was
suggested by some that the submar-
inc might be used defensively within
the three-mile limit of territorial
waters but the overwhelming sentf-
ment was that the U-boat must be
abolished outright
After scrapping the submarine, u
the correspondent says, sit is under
stood that recommendations will be
made that the economic weapon take
the place of all other weapons in fu-
ture wars. Respecting disarmamen ent
the league will endeavor to work out
a scheme by which the armaments of
all nations will be gradually curtaiIed
to point decided upon as being nec-
essary for defense.
The league will try to arrange this
early enough to insure that the finan-
clal saving thus gained, will pay the
interest on the worlds war debt.

Weimar, Germany, Feb 3-The
struggle between the Prussians and
south Germans for control of the new
German republic increased in scope
and intensity today as preparations
continued for coavening the national
assembly here.
This factional fight had developed a
new plan for breaking up the geo

and forming all of Germany into q

posed to the origin IL plan of organiz-
ing new states into a small, loosely
constructed federation. At present.
the Prussian population controls the
country This condition would be
augmented rather than deprecated by
splitting up Prussia into several states
because of the increased voting power
1t would give them. The Socialists are
back of the new scheme for a wholly
centralized government. They are nat
urally opposed by the pan-Gernans.
Junkers and conservatives, who are es-
sentially pro-Prussian.
1t is not clear yet whether the
movement will gain sufficient sup

are proud that they are "differents
