killed and many wounded,
while those remaining surrendered.
Shortly afterward the Alexander
Platz, which changed hands several
times, and where the chief Spartacan
resistance centered, was taken by
storm by government troops. More
than 100 rebels were captured.
While the Spartacans were losing
q hardwon military advantage, the
general strike was gaining and the
workmen adopted a resolution to-
night endorsing the Spartacans' last
demands, which included abolition
of all war loan debts.
simultaneously, the workmen de-
cided to call out the electrical, gas
and water works employees. The
radicals are taking steps toward the
formation of their own cabinet to-
night and are boasting that despite

they would win complete control of

DESIRE TO

And Cause a Riot at English
Camp; Several Killed and
Injured; the Government
Explains"

London, March S.-A dozen per-
sons are estimated to have been
killed and 40 or more wounded in
rioting during the past two days at
the Kinmel military camp at Rhyl,
Wales.
Canadian military headquarters in
London has issued a statement With
reference to the riot, which says the
disturbance was entirely due to the
delay in getting the men back tc
Canada. 1t is impossible to keep the
promises given the men, the state
ment adds, owing to the shortage OF
vessels.
The authorities, however. do not
regard the rioting as justified and
the offenders, many of whom already
are under arrest, will be dealt with
vigorously.
A number of civilians are said to
have been engaged in the rioting IN
which several persons We're killed OF
wounded.
According to reports from Liver
pool, the riot was started by about
| 200 malcontents. There were 2o ,O0O
Canadians in the camp awaiting de.
mobilization and embarkation. The
men who caused the trouble wers
war casuals who had served for three
years or more in France. They com
planned their embarkation had becl
postponed while other men who hat
served less were sent hons.
After the destruction of stores o
all kinds on Tuesday by the discon
tented men the situation took a mor'
serious turn Wednesday, when TIL

Adjourn; Longest Session

Helena, March S-The Sixteenth
Montana legislature has adjourned.
And it is well that it lasted no long

record for backward, blind and un-

carried out.
Dull as such gatherings usually
are, this one was dullness personified
With the exception of the bills pre-
sented by the Nonpartisans and labor

islators may be summed up in most
craven desire to curry favor with a
public sentiment, which exists only
in the mind % of the kept press
and the officials of the A. c. NJ
The world is emerging from ter

no longer to the turgid hoWls of the
profteer yelping from behind the
Stars and Stripes. The people are
awake at last and are beginning to
look with the utmost contempt upon
the eXploiters who use the war spirit
to crush the progressive element.
The legislature failed entirely to
grasp this fact, and it's membership

well be ashamed. The permanent Sc
