AMERICAN AID
IS NECESSARY
STATE ENGLISH
U. S. Domestic Politics Ex-
plains Senate Action, Say
London Editors.

LONDON, March 6.-President Will
sons speech at New York occupies a
prominent place in the news editorial
columns of the papers here. Some
editors see in American domestic poll
tics the key to the senate episode. The
Telegram says:
Mr.. Wilson's opponents in the SEN
ate have not, as a matter of fact,
bound themselves to any course of
action too firmly to adopt another If
the president should make good with
American public opinion in the end
All depends upon the sense in which
that opinion may make itself mani
fest when the treaty of peace and the
league of nations have been given
final form. Therefore, for the present
we must leave this strange and uncer-
tain situation"
European democracies are watching
to see whether the impulse which
brought America to their side for the
purpose of finishing the war will keep
her at their side for the purpose of
rearing the fabric of a war-free world
says the Chronicle. They are not
watching without anxiety, for they
know that American cooperation is IN
dispensable If the fabric is to stand
Senate Action Natural
The News says: "Mr. Wilson's ap-
peal for Americas cooperation in the
salvation of the world is as irresist-
ible as his indictment of the selfish
particularism of the opponents of the
league is unanswerable :. =. Consti-
tutionally, the opposition of this solid
block of Republicans in the senate
looks formidable. Actually as Pres
ident Wilson confidently recognizes,
the issue is with the people, for no
senate could refuse to ratify treaties
establishing league of nations that
commanded the manifest and express
ed approval of the people of America.
What the senate seems to want
must appear to practical men the nat.
ural order of procedure" says the
Post. Peace is an urgent and imme-
diate question; the league is a vague
and still doubtful system. The world
wants time to think out these things
and does not like being rushed into
the plan by the enthusiasm of it's ideal
lists"

STRIKES IN GERMANY
HOLD UP DELIVERIES
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Wednesday, March 5-A
German wireless message picked up
here alludes to threat" made by
General Nudant, Marshal Foch's rep
resentative on the joint armistice COM
mission at Spa, because the Germans
have failed to turn over to the allies

firms constructing the required ma
terial have been unable to complete
deliveries because the strikes and that
a shortage of railway cars and the OBJ
struction of railways near Erfurt and
Halle have also retarded the carrying

ricultural machinery are standing on

Germans Wear Ciuilian
Clothes to Avoid Rule
To Salute Americans
(By Associated Press)

COBLENZ, March Gall German
officers and men on duty in the zone
occupied by American troops must
wear uniforms when they appear in
the street, according to an order, ef-
fective Thursday, issued by General
Dickman. The order is a result of a
tendency on the part of certain Ger
man senior officers to wear civilian
clothes because of their dislike to be-
ing compelled by a general order is
sued some time ago to salute all
American officers. The Germans
claimed that it was very distasteful
for German officers of rank to have
to salute American lieutenants.
In framing the order General Dick
man took into consideration reports
that the Germans were taking advan-
tage of their positions in being able
to appear in uniform or in civilian
clothes at will. The new order also
calls for weekly registration of each
German officer and soldier on duty in
this area. There are several hundred
of them attached to various missions
here and also acting as disbursing
agents and in medical units caring for
wounded German soldiers.

MANY KILLED
IN FIGHTING
OF RADICALS
AND TROOPS
Effort Made to Storm Build
ing in Berlin Where Govern
ment Artillery is Stationed
Russian Attack Feared.
STRIKE EFFORT FAILS
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, March 6-An account OF
the fighting given in Berlin telegram
filed at o'clock this morning says
that yesterday afternoon the crowds
before the police headquarters in Al
exanderplatz assumed a threatening
character, so that the square had to
be continually cleared by government
troops. Toward 1 o'clock in the after
noon the Spartacans made an effort to
smash the doors of the headquarters
by hand grenades and shots.
This attack was accompanied by
general firing against the building
from surrounding houses and streets,
the government troops replying from
the headquarters. About eighty civil
ians and sailors tried to storm build
ing in side street where the govern
ment had stationed artillery but they
were repulsed.
During the afternoon some sailor
detachment crept gradually near the
headquarters, placed machine guns in
adjoining streets and erected barri-
cades. Otherwise according to this
dispatch, the city was quiet up to II
o'clock at night.
Fears BoIsheviki Attack.
The military situation on the east
ern front is painted in blackest colors
by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg In
an interview printed here. The field
marshal declares that unless the pop
ulation generally rallies to the de-
fense of their homes and families it
will be impossible to ward off at
tacks by Bolsheviki hordes.
'The expectations of the Poles and
the entente that the Poles will sue
ceed the German inheritance in the
east will be blasted" he says 81 know
the Poles and the county in the east
will belong either to us or to the
Bolsheviki."
The strike situation in central Ger
many is unchanged and a renewed ef-
fort by the Spartacans to secure the
proclamation of general strike at
Dresden and Madgeburg has failed.
Normal conditions have been re-
stored at Halle, where the railway sta
tion was found stored with supplies
of food and clothing and other COM
modities that had been commandeered
by the Spartacans. At Leipsic the
general strike of citizens as a counter
action against the industrial walkout
is still going on and threatens to COM
plicate the situation. The strike COM
mittee there is said to be short OF
funds and is endeavoring to force the
banks to reopen. The bank clerks,
however, refuse to resume work until
food distribution is safeguarded and
electric plants are again in operation.

Airplane Adds to Problems
OF Customs Tax Collecto,
rRy Associated P-ess)

WASHINGTON, March 6-Customs
authorities have encountered the first
case Of an airplane imported into the
United States under it's own motive
power. An American bought a Ca.
madam plane and it was flown across
the border near Detroit. The question
then arose as to whether it was duti.
able, particularly since airplanes are
not mentioned in any tariff acts.
Customs officials finally decided that
II 1t remains permanently in the
United States 1t should be taxed as q
manufactured article" at the rate OF
twenty percent, and II it flies out OF
the country again within six months,
it will be regarded as ION tour" and
will not be taxed. In view of the
prospects that international air tour
ing may soon be common, the ruling
was regarded as important.
