TO BE CAPITAL
OF REPUBLIC OF RHINE

Paris. June 2.-Coblenz will be the
capital Of the new Rhine republic
ghich was proclaimed yesterday in
several Rhine cities. The new gov
elament and national assembly will
meet there, but the provisional gov
ernnient will sit IT Weishaden. Por-
tons of the proclamation have been
telegraphed 10 Echo de Paris from
Metz BY Maurice Barres. One signif-
icant section Of it was:
1--WE declare the autonomous Rhen-
ish republic to be founded In the bos-
ON of Germany. It is a pacific re-
public which is composed Of the Rhen-
ish province, Old Nassau, Rhenish
Hesse and the Palatinate. The foun-
dation rests on the following basis:
81. The frontiers will remain the
same, including Birkenfeld.
"2. Changes in frontiers can be
made only with the approval of other
nations interested as established by
a plebiscite.
"3. The provisional government
of the Rhenish republic is exercised
by the undersigned delegates to the
people.
"a. Elections for the Rhenish ma
tional assembly will be held without
delay according to the methods Of the
German national assembly.
"COblenz is to be the capital OF the
new government, and the national as
sembly will meet there. The provis-
ional government will sit at Weis-
baden. Local authorities viii con-
tinue to exercise control for the time
being.
The provisional government will
take the place of the central gov
ment and the Prussian, Bavarian and
Hessian governments.
(Signed) "Rhenish, Hession Nassau
committee.
"Palatinate committee.
"June /, 1919"
Another passage shows the move
ment not to be separatist, but anti
Prussian. It says:
evidence from whatever side must
disappear. The Rhenish people hon
estly and sincerely wish peace based
on a reconciliation of all peoples.
That is why it separates itself from
the institutions which are the basis
for so many wars, feudalism and mill
tarism. It thereby eliminates an OBJ
stacle standing in the way of a gen
uine peace"
M. Barres says DR.. Borden, the
president Of the new republic, is the
soul of the movement.

CLUSTERS MASSACRE

. . ~@&E&@@ 900 &&@@&@@ :
It was in the spring Of 1878 that
Gen. George A. Custer was sent to
Dakota to help suppress an uprising
of several Indian tribes under Sitting
Bull and Crazy Horse. After fighting
for some time, Sheridan, who COM
manded the troops, decided to strike
defensive blow. He sent three di-
visions-under Crook, Terry and Glib
bon-to unite under Crook, Terry and
on the Yellowstone. Terry and Glib
bon united without discovering the
Indians, while Crook beat up Crazy
Horses band and, after a sharp Skin
mish, the whole Indian force of 5000
or 5000 moved to the Little Big
Horn.
They were discovered by Terry's
scouts, and Terry sent Custer in adj
vance, with his cavalry regiment Of
900 men in IL companies, to bar
their escape east; he was to wait for
the main body at the iuncture of the
Big Horn and Little Big Horn, June
26. Custer arrived there on the
night of the Oath. His scouts discov-
cred the Indian village the next morn
ing; from imperfect information he
supposed that they were only the
1900 or / 500 Pawnees he had known
were marching to join Sitting Bull,
and he resolved to surround and cap
ture them all.
He divided up his companies, or
dering the different companies to at
tack at different points. The In
dams were about to retreat when
they discovered the strength of the
opposing force. Custer rode toward
the camp with a small number of
men. Many Of the Indians had con
cealed themselves so that they were
able to surround the band. But Gus
ter fought to reach a ridge, in which
he was successful, but just at that
time a fresh body of Cheyennes, UNI
der Rain-in-the-Face, rode in and mas
sacred the little band. The killed
numbered 261, and 50 wounded

they are beginning TO get a vision of
what the general circumstances of the
world are. and there Is for the first time
In history an International sympathy
which is quick and vital--a sympathy
which does not display itself merely
In the contact of governments. hut dis
plays itself In the silent intercourse of
sympathy between two great bodies
