GERMANY, AUSTRIA AND HUN

SERIOUS OUTBREAKS.
Munich Placed Under Martial Law Fol.
lowing Assassination Of Premier
Germany Said to Be Casting
About for Dictator.

Berlin.-Germany, Austria and Hum
gary are in the throes Of terrorist re-
volts which threaten to make the COM
munist stage Of the French revolution
look mild by comparison.
In Germany the outbreak is thus far
confined to Bavaria. whose capital.
Munich, was placed under martial law
following the assassination of Premier
Kurt Eisner and the subsequent shoot
ing of nine men, at least four of whom,
dead, while five other members of the
government may die from their
wounds.
The situation in Austria is obscure,
but ominous reports are filtering
through from Vienna Indicating the
stage has been set there for SINH
lar upheaval.
In Hungary the capital, Budapest, is
liar to the Bavarian, except that SO
far no bloodshed has been reported.
The city Is under martial law.
Government troops are marching on
Munich to put down the revolt.
All Germany is casting about for a
dictator, a man of iron who will fight
terror with terror. No one of that cal
iber is in the offing now, however,
though the new revolution may pro-
duce him at any moment.
Upon an anti-terrorist campaign
with blood and iron alone do the Ger.
man people at present pin their faint
hopes for salvation from the most ter
rible civil war the world has seen.

TAFT RAPS FOES Of
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
DECLARES "SMALl AMERICANS"
OF SMALL VISION HAVE
SENATE SEATS.
Former President in Address at San
Francisco Condemns Senators
Who Have Opposed League
of Nations Plan.

San Francisco.-Former President
William H. Taft, addressing the clos
ing session Thursday night, February
20, of the Pacific coast congress of
the League to Enforce Peace, replied
to his critics and opponents of the
plan for the establishment Of league
of nations, and referred particularly to
an open letter addressed to him by
United States Senator William Il.
Borah Of Idaho, which questioned the
efficiency of the Monroe doctrine in
the event the league of nations plan
was adopted
Senator Borah wants to know, In
what he calls an open letter." said Mr..
Taft. whether l would consent to
league of nations in which the Monroe
doctrine is not recognized. will
answer him by saying that would
like to have the Monroe doctrine ac-
knowledged specifically by such
league, but If recognition Of It's prin-
ciples is contained in the covenant for
such league would not object to the
form in which 1t is put.
article X of the covenant drafted
In Paris extends the Monroe doctrine
to the entire world and gives It the
backing Of the entire world. Conse-
Quently it recognizes the Monroe doc
trine, and am in entire support OF
that covenant.
Refers to wild Words"
what l would like to ask Senator
Borah Is this: If he insists on the
specific acknowledgment Of the Mon
roe doctrine in the covenant for the
league of nations, and If such recog-
milton Is given it jim the covenant as
finally agreed upon in Paris, will he
vote for a treaty based upon the coven-
ant as finally amended?
| 1.-THE wild words of Representative
Fess and Senators Reed and POindex-
ter, shot out into the air on the theory
that the people of this country DO not
read or that they will accept their bald
statements unquestionably, would be
humorous IL they We're not the utter
ances of such eminent and learned
| kCullcIiltl
Characterizing as ''small Americans"
members of the United States senate
who are opposing the covenant for u
league Of nations, Mr.. Taft made an
especial appeal to the women Of
the Pacific coast to bring their influ-
ence to bear on the senate in behalf
of ratification Of the league. Certain
small Americans on the floor Of the
United Estates senate profess to see
dire danger and eventual disaster TO
the country If we enter into league
Of nations" said Mr.. Taft.
II do not use the term small Amer.
leans in an invidious sense, but simply
to imply that these gentlemen have a
small view Of America; the provin-
cial, selfish view that the highest duty
Of America is to preserve for our own
people, beyond which we have no other
responsibility toward the rest OF the
world"
