reading was discussed in the annual

First Attempt to Stop 1t.
Berlin, Feb. 5.-The first direct at
tempt to interfere with the national
assembly which conveneS in Weimar
on Thursday apparently has been taxi
en- by the soldiers councils in that re-
gion. Reports were received here to-
day that the soldatenrat in Erfurt
(fifteen miles west of Weimar) had
seized the telegraph offices there and
ordered censorship or confiscation of
all governmental and assembly tele-
grams from Weimar. The telegraph
officials protested but were powerless
At the same time similar action was
taken by the Soldatenrat in Eischen-
ach (forty-five miles west Of Wei
MARI.
The government, it was learned to-
Gay, is prepared to declare a state of
siege in Weimar, if such a step is
found necessary to protect the assem-
bly,.
VIII Give Up Arms.
Spartacans in Bremen have decided
to deliver their arms to Hamburg and
Bremerhaven troops, instead of to the
government forces sent against them
from Berlin. according to advices re-
ccived here today.
Workmen at Hamburg held a DEM
onstration in sympathy with the Spar
tdcan insurgents. Armed workmen
have garrisoned the Vulkan ship
yards in Hamburg and work is at a
standstill.
(After Selling control of the mu-
nicipal government in Bremen, the
Spartacans offered to surrender to
avert bombardment of the city. An
unconfirmed dispatch from Copen-
hagen yesterday reported that Spar
tacan and government troops were
| fighting in the outskirts of Bremen.)
Transfer the Government.
l
process of temporarily transferring
the German seat of government from
Berlin to Weimar, where the national
assembly is to meet Thursday is ex-
pected to be virtually completed to-
morrow when Count Brockdorff- Rant
Eau, the foreign secretary, will reach
here. The five members of the cabi-
net and the executive officials under
| Chancellor Ebert arrived in Weimar
early this afternoon and established
difficulties accompanying the task OF
temporary transfer of the government
! here comprise chiefly an apparent
| shortage of manual laborers willing to
haul and, carry baggage. The, city has
J furnished an oVersupply of candidate
| for posts of honor, but the members
| of the government on their arrival
! here had to search diligently for men
willing to transfer the official baggage
/ from the station to the palace.
Notwithstanding this handicap. the
cabinet. minus its official records and
other documents, managed to hold an
! executive session in the palace late in
/ the afternoon
| The present government considers
| that its mandates expire with the con-
vening of the constituent assembly
and it's first task will be to move the
: immediate appointment of new CO.
alition government in the organization
of which party interests will be elm
/ mated.
| The majority Socialists will hold
| their first party caucus Tuesday morn
! ing. The German Democratic faction
! will hold its party meeting at Erfut

on the part of the leading commission
houses together with a lack of buying sup
port led to material setbacks today in the

conditions were ideal to facilitate the croI
movement. 0pening prices. which ranged
from NC to 1c lower, with May $1.16ss to
sL171s and July $1.12A to $113, were fol-
lowed by sharp further declines.
Rallies took place as result of ship
ping lockout at yBuenos Aires and because
of assertions that seaboard exporters
were buying here, but then the market fell
lower than before. Country offerings were
larger. The market closed unsettled. 90 c

WAR DEPT FIGURES OUT

Washington, Feb. 5.-The total
strength of the United States army on
November IL. when the armistice was
signed and when the American war
effort was at its peak. was 3,7O3.273
officers and men, including the marine
corps on duty with the army in Eu-
rope. A statistical table made public
today by the war department gives
this figure.
Included in tn? table is compre-
hensive statement of the strength of
allied and German forces on the west
ern front by, months beginning April
/, 1918, showing that on July l, for
the first time the allied rifle strength"
exceeded that of the German.
In rifle strength, which means men
standing in the trenches ready to go
over the top with the bayonet." the
allied total on July 1 was 1,556,O0O
compared with 1,412, 900 for the Ger
mans.
On November /, when the enemy's
reserves had been exhausted and his
front line strength reduced by about
half, the allies had rifle strength of
1,4S5,000 representing odds of upward
of two to one.
The Allied Superiority.
From July l. as the Americans
continued to arrive, the allied superb
Ority showed continued growth over
the Germans. who had dropped on
November 1 to a strength of $50, 900.
When the great German drive was
launched in the spring of 1918. the
enemy had a definite superiority of
approximately 20 per cent, the figures
for April l showing an allied rifle
strength of 1,245, 600 and a German
total of 1.569.00O.
The Germans reached their maxi
mum June 1. with 1,639,000, while
the allies reached their maximum on
September l. with 1,682.000.
The meaning of the rifle strength
upon which the table is ba sed. dis made
clear by the fact that an American
division with total strength of ap-
proximately $1,000 fighting men, is
rated as 1880 rifles.
Made Allied Losses Good.
The departments table shows that
the rush of American troops to Europe
when the German great drive was
launched. not only succeeded in
making good all allied losses from
month to month at the front but
steadily increased the strength of the
allied armies actually engaged. Fig
ures on the hundreds of Thousands of
Americans who were in training be-
hind the lines are not given.
