Berlin, March 2l.-(By courier to
Paris, March 25. Spartaeans are PLAN
ming to launch their third revolution .o-
fore the first Of April.
This revolt, it was learned from Spar
tacsns themselves today, is intended as
the signal for q general bolshevist up
rising through central Europe. Russian
bolsheviki have been asked to start an
invasion to insure the revolutions ) sue
cess.
The Spartacans expect to open hostil-
tiles without warning, since the general
strike that preceded the last revolution
gave the government time 70 prepare.
They are gathering weapons, ammuni-
ltion and food, which they are storing
in numerous secret rendezvous.
Some Favor Postponing n.
Some Of the Spartacans, vastly in the
minority, favor postponing the revolu-
tion until after the sovfet congress
which meets here April 5, then seeking
to persuade the workmen and independ-
ent socialists to join them. This plan
has met with little favor, as the work.

The Spartacans recently sent dole

FIVE YEAR BOND FOR
repair Of PAVEMENT
MAY Be NcDNTRAcTs
Attorney General Brown Holds
This Is Possible NOtwith-
standing H. B. ll4.

At the request of the state highway
commission, Attorney General Brown
has made an analysis Of H. B. ia, pass
ed by the late legislature, providing
that no person or official body shall
enter into any contract in which it is
stipulated that a party making paw
ing contract shall be responsible for its
repair Of upkeep for a perioc eAceeulng
one year, The object Of this law is to
relieve contractors from the burden of
keeping up pavement that might de-
vslop defects from other causes than
faulty construction.
The question confronting the highway
commission was as to whether a clause
could be inserted in contracts, requiring
& five-year bond for the repair of pave
ment that might develop defects
through faulty construction, without
conflicting with the provisions of the
statute. Attorney General Brown holds
hat such a clause may be exacted, and
in order to make contracts entirely free
from misconstruction he suggests that a
contract be drawn after this fashion:
ssIn his construction contract for
hard-surfacing or paving state high
ways, the bidder shall be required to
renew, correct, make whole and recon
struct if need be, immediately upon no.
tice Of the commission, all defects which
may exist or appear in said hard sur
face Or pavement, including the base,
sub-grade or other portions thereof,
within five years from the completion
and acceptance Of said hard surfacing
and pavement by the state highway
commission, which defects are the result
Of any defective material or improper
preparation or use Of same, Or arc the
result of any improper or family work
manship, whether due to the prepara-
tion, use or kind Of material, or due to
any improper or faulty method, manner
Ior plan Of workmanship, and Is q guar
antce Of faithful performance or the
foregoing requirements, the successful
bidder shall enter into the contract con-
ditioned as outlined above, and. shall
furnish a satisfactory surety bond covS
ering a five-year period, which said
bond shall be in the sum Of onc-third
of the cost of surfacing, exclusive Of
the grading and other work, and which
said bond shall be in full force and eff
feet from and after the date Of the
completion and acceptance Of the said
hard surfacing or pavement for the said
period Of five years.

The menacing spread Of bolshevism,

President Wilson has for urging that

WIN FIGHT FOR LOWER

Reduced Rates On Shipments
10 Orient Announced By
Administration.

Washington, March 25-Eastern man
ufacturers and the Pacific coast appar
emily have won thex fight for lower
freights on traffic destined for the fal
east and Australia. The railroad ad-
Iministration today announced it would
aUn put into effect reduced rates on
shipments consigned from points east
of the Missouri river to Japan, China,
Australia and the Philippine Islands.
Officials here regarded the rate re-
ductions as tremendously important in
building up foreign trade which must
be routed through Pacific coast ports
The department Of commerce and the
railroad administration have had hun
dreds of appeals from industrial leaders
for lower rates, basing their arguments
on the fact that unless they were gIven

charges they could not compete with
European manufacturers. Their argu.
ments have been particularly insistent
since the armistice was signed.
Favors Move.
In the fight for rate reduction, Sec
retary Redfield has taken a decided
stand favoring the move. 1t was point
ed out in communications to the depart
ment of commerce that large major
ity of the articles sold in the far east
are manufactured in the eastern half of
the United States. Through ocean rates
from Atlantic ports are regarded as
prohibitive so far as competing with
Europe is concerned. The only road
open then to re-establish the trade lost
through war regulations WAS to haul the
traffic across the United States, it was
