people throughout wurttemburg today was met by counter strike on the part of the bourgeoisie. Street fights developed in the afternoon and three persons are believed 10 have been killed while many were injured.
 The casualties occurred when a col umn of strikers. holding a demonstra- tion for their demands, met large detachment of government troops with machine guns and armored cars. The troops insisted the strikers disperse. The strikers refused and adopted a threatening attitude. After several warning shots. the troops fired. There was some brief hand- to hand fighting, after which the demonstrators were driven off and order restored for the time being.
 Stuttgart, however, is growing ner- vous. The gas and electric power sup plies have been shut off and the food situation is serious.
 Although the demands of the strikers are ostensibly for the removal of mar tial law, the release of political pris- oners and new elections for the sol diers' and workmen's councils, 1t is believed in government quarters that they are working systematically under the surface to bring about the downfall of the government, by which they hope to end-ngcr the national government. It is claiuled it is intended the strikers here shall spread all Lover Germany.
 The majority socialists have not taken definite attitude in the situa- ton, and seemingly are divided. The independent socialists and the Sparta cans are working together. Only two newspapers, one majority socialist and one independent, are permitted to ap- pear.

FAMOUS PAINTING
 IS PUT ON DISPLAY
"The Girl He Left Behind Him, by de Mareau, Can Be Viewed at
 Hood q Wheeler Store

The Girl He Left Behing Him. the famous picture painted by Herbert dc Mareau and vaiuedtat seo,0oo. is on display all of this week on fifth floor of Hood & wheeler's furniture store, at 2o13-15 Fourth avenue.
 In speaking of this remarkable painting. MT. Hood said:
 The artist has brought out con- parative depletion so synlbolical and 50 full of universal truth as to lead ones mind through the great gallery of suggestive titles-Youth and Age, Light and sharow, Summer and Win- ter, Hope and Memory, Two Types of Immortal Interest The Forward Look of Child and Parent.
 The artist, de Mareau, is called by those who know, to be the greatest de- pictor of fire and freight who ever lived. Critics raved over the old "Vti- lage Blacksmith,'' painted over 20 years ago by his immortal father. But the son seems to have brought him self to that point where he eXcels his teacher.
 There is both freight and sunligh. Introduced in this priceless treasure. The canvas depicts an old French home with the grandfather sitting be- side the fireplace reading the Bible In the immediate background, stand Ing at the window, is the granddaugh- ter reading & letter from her sweet heart, supposedly in the trenches. A flood of sunlight shines upon her standing there, while the ruddy glow of the fireplace radiates upon the old gentleman.
 One can picture that quaint French home and just feel his presence there. It seems as though you were looking into real home with real people, while the depletion of the sunlight and firelight in the same picture is con- sidered the most perfect in existence.
 The canvas measures by feet and has commercial value of s60,000. It may be interesting to know that to- day you could not purchase one of de Mareau's paintings, sixe 10x12 inches. for $1000.'
 The public is cordially invited to call any day this week and see the picture.
