CALL FOR Revolt
Radicals in Germany Issue Ap-
peal to the Workers.
"Rise and Demonstrate Against
Government" Is Urged Now.

Berlin. April 3.-The Freiheit pub
lished the following appeal of the
radicals central committee:
"Workmen and workwomen. rise
and demonstrate against the brutal
1IiIitary government which is gradu-
ally placing the entire land under a
state of siege.
The government is forbidding
workmen's meetings and is not him
dering the demonstrations of the re-
actionaries."
The new general strike and politi-
cal outbreak in Berlin, which was
temporarily averte thru release of
the radical agitator Daumig, was still
smoldering today. The government is
preparing to use every force to crush
any demonstrations
Frankfort is quiet again. The strike
at Essen and in the Ruh- district is
less threatening. The situation in
Stuttgart is still critical. however.

Council of Four Has Virtually
Decided That Way.
Left Bank Lost to Hun Until
He Pays Bills.
TROOPS WILL HOLD LAM
France and Belgium Will Fur
nish the Soldiers.
England Has Few and Z. s.
Cannot Leave Troops.

Paris, April 3.-The council of four
has virtually decided. according to in
formation from French sources, that
the left bank of the Rhine will be neu-
tralized until Germany has paid the
indemnities fixed by the peace con-
ference.
1t is understood that French and
Belgian troops will hold this territory,
the United States claiming it to be i'm
possible to leave American troops in
Europe after the signature of the
peace treaty and England having in
sufficient effective troops to maintain
garrisons along the Rhine.
1t is surmised that the visit of King
Albert of Belgium to Paris was not un-
connected with the share that Bel
gian troops will be asked to undertake
in this territory.
Gloom Is Felt There.
Continued failure of the big four
to accomplish any apparent progress,
together with increasing seriousness
of the situation in Germany, accen-
tuated the pessimism surrounding the
peace conference today.
There was talk in some high quar-
ters that it may be necessary to make
peace along general lines if the set
tlement is to be effected before a crisis
is reached in Germany.
The recent bitter debate in the
British parliament over peace delay is
regarded as significant.

thruout the city is removed, it was
learned today.
Insurance companies. it is asserted.
have threatened to increase rates in
Topeka for several months, and are
now reported to be about ready to act
unless the water pressure is promptly
increased. The increase would affect
every property owner in the city.
Reports that a rate hike was about
to be agreed upon came today thru
public offices as a climax to the water
eral months. Altho the matter was
taken up by the city commissioners
in an effort to remedy the low pres
sure, complaints have not ceased. In
many buildings on Kansas avenue the
pressure is sot sufficient. it is assert
ed, to get the water to The top floors,
and there have been times recently
when the water refused to flow from
faucets on third and fourth floors, ac-
cording to complaints.
Recently the city pumping plant was
placed under G. Z. Hopper, an expert
from Manhattan, by the commission.
This was the most drastic step taken
by the city fathers to improve the
made thru the installation of new ma
chinery.
1t is the opinion of insurance ex-
perts that the insurance companies will
have an extraordinary good argument
on behalf of their proposed new rates

GENERAL WON'T STOOP
Traub Says 1t Is Beneath Dignity To
Argue With Governor Allen.

Kansas City. Mo, April 3.-General
Peter E. Traub who commanded the
35th division in France and who spoke
here at the Baltimore hotel Chamber
of Commerce luncheon handed Gov
ernor Allen of Kansas hot one" when
he said relative to the charges made
against the army in the Argonne bat
tie:
Il am not going to answer any
charges made by any governor of this
locality. l don't feel it is dignified for
a general to argue with governors.
General Traub then said he would
tell the truth about the Argonne-
that the 35th division had plenty of
artillery and plenty of transportation.
Now, there was shortage of ami
mails" he said, but we had all we
needed"
General Traub said people had been
misinformed as to the general ineffi-
cheney of the Argonne. Criticisms on
transportation facilities available for
the advance have been based on fig
ures which were true only after the
depletion of a six-day battle, he said.
That troops of the 35th division
went to the attack without the support
of barrages was admitted by General
Traub.
"Often the Information as to a bar
rage did not tally he said. land I
gave instructions TO have it checked -
General Traub also told of shells
from allied guns falling among Amer
lean troops

BANKERS TO join
Jap and L. :. FinancierS Will
Develop Countries.
Siberia and China Are To Cover
Scope of Actions.

San Francisco. Cal. April 3.-The
development of China and Siberia will
be accomplished by the formation of
an organization of leading financiers
and bankers in Japan and the United
states, according to T. Mochizuki and
Y. Ozaki. members of the japanese
parliament who are visiting this coun-
try to study political conditions be-
fore proceeding to Paris in an unof-
ficial capacity.
THE time has come when it is
necessary for Japan and the United
States to stop misunderstanding each
other and get together for their
mutual benefit" Mochizuki said. I'VE
i'm Japan and many leading Americans
understand that the questions arising
from the expected development of
China and Siberia are too big for
Japan to handle alone. We believe
this question should be solved and
mastered Jointly by the two countries,
and it is on this matter we are here. -
In commenting on the different
phases of the proposed orga nization he
said.
when this is accomplished we be-
lieve that any unofficial talk heard
here and in Japan will cease. The
fact that Japanese-American pool
which will perhaps total into the bill
lions has been formed will make all
understand that Japan is not trying to
take any advantage"
Mochizuki expressed the opinion
that the United States and Japan
should control the Pacific for all
time"

ARE READY TO WORK
Striking Carpenters, However, Still
Demand as Cents an Hour.

The striking carpenters are making
a earnest effort to go to work in To-
peka today. incidentally for their
work they are asking seventy-five
cents an hour, an advance of twelve
and one-half cents over the charge
last week.
When the carpenters union was
called on the telephone today, an in
quirer was informed that the carpen-
ters to the number of twenty-five or
thirty could be had on a moments
notice Later in the conversation,
when the union speaker was informed
that it was a reporter talking, the in
formation was forthcoming that
there is nothing doing"
Asked if any attempt had been
made by the carpenters to come to an
agreement with the contra ctors of the
city, the union man replied: 1--WE
have nothing to say to any reporters"
The contractors announced this
morning that no advances have been
made by them or by the carpenters
looking to an early termination of the
strike which is tying up all building
in the city.
Meanwhile the carpenters will take
all kinds of work either independent
ly or together as a body on a contra ct
with bonds.

sources today. The proposition re

is substantially:
Make peace with us. enabling us
to end the numerous little wars that

Lift the blockade so as to permit
us to get food and materials.
Then we will make good and you
can recognize us-if you care to.
Make Separate Peace.
The Russians. it is understood, are
also willing to make a separate peace
with the associated powers, that u.s.
without including the new Hungarian
soviet government in the pact. BY
making peace with the Russlans Is
naturally meant withdrawal of all al

War in Self Defense.
The Russians attitude is that such
military operations as they are now
carving on are in self-defense. 1t is
known that the peace conference Is
giving extensive consideration to the
latest Reports from Russia and is be-
coming more impressed with accu-
mutation of evidence that violence and
bloodshed are not stopping Boil
shevism.
An instance of this is contained in
reports reaching here from Copen-
hagen regarding the reception ac-
corded General Mannerheim in neu-
trail countries. Mannerheim crushed
the Bolshevist movement in Finland
by killing hundreds. When he went
to Stockholm recently a huge crowd
awaiting him on the pier hissed and
hooted. Mannerheim did not leave
the boat. In Copenhagen. he was
sconed while riding thru the stree Is
with the king. He intended to visit
Norway, but his visit was cancelled.

Americans, French British and Rus
slams, who, either separately or to-
