declared martial law throughout the
entire republic for thirty days. The

The Minister of the Interior appeared
before the Chamber of Deputies by in
vitation this evening to explain the
situation. He said the disturbances in
Buenos Ayres were under control, as
result OF active measures taken by Gen
eral Dellepaine, military dictator, but
that the trouble was spreading through
out the republic, especially in the
provinces of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe,
Santiago de Estero and Tucuman. He
added that these provinces had ap-
peaied to the government for assist
ance and that the reserves had been
called to the colors.

Reign Of Highway
Robbery and PiIlage
Is S,ueeping Berli,,

BERLIN. Jan. - (Delayed) (By The
Associated Press. The Ebert govern
ment tonight was confident of it's
physical ability to defend the elections
to the National Assembly next Sunday
against violence from Spartacan and
independent Socialist sources.
The insurrection generally, it ap-
peared tonight, had been effectualiv
put down, chiefly because the new
troops called in by the government
had taken matters in hand and were
determined to give the followers of
Lie bknecht no quarter. The next few
days, it is declared, will witness the
inauguration of further drastic mill
tary measures calculated to stamp out
the Bolshevik contagion.
Dispatches from Berlin dated Mon
gay e; ana Tuesday have reported that
the Spartacan leaders had disappeare d
and that their forces had been over
awed by the governments troops.
Death for Armed Civilians
One of these measures covers the
illegal possession of arms and ammu-
milton, and it is proposed to make this
offence punishable with immediate
death. That the military men now
cooperating with the government pro-
pose to show the insurgents no mercy
and they amply demonstrated this pol
icy during the recapture of the "Vor-
waerts" Building and Police Headquar-
ters.
1t is declared by creditable eyewit-
nesses that the new government troops
in both actions Saturday beat down
with bayonets and with clubs and
otherwise killed scores of men who
were Spartacan guards or civilians
caught with arms. Hundreds of per-
sons already have been arrested and
are facing severe penalties.
The last ripples Of the tidal wave
which has swept over Berlin in the
last seven days now are being felt in
the spread of robbery and looting
which is being carried on by soldiers
and sailors who detached themselves
from Spartacan units.
The section of Berlin radating from
the Police Headquarters in the last
fortyeght hours has been terrorized
by armed men who pilfered foodshops,
sailors walked into postal sub station
yesterday and carried off 10000
marks.
Gunmen and criminals from all parts
of Germany hurried to Berlin in the
first days Of the revolution, according
TO reports, and enlisted in the Sparta
can forces at the police station, which
served as base for private undertake
ings when the men were not engaged
in obeying the orders of the Spartacan
leaders. During the vandalism all
criminal records, official documents
and rogues' galleries at Police Head
quarters were destroyed. Berlin at
one time ranked as one of the best
policed cities in the world; tonight
it is virtually defcnceless against law

transferred from France, but the
transfer is difficult because of lack of
shipping.
General Pilsudski's army is almost
destitute OF arms, munitions, clothing
and shoes, the Germans having sys-
tematically stripped the country of
such things. General Pisudski is,
therefore, demanding of the Allies
arms and munitions, but the Allied
governments have not yet recognized
the Warsaw government, and are un-
willing to do SO until it settles its
difficulties with the Polish National
Committee. The Allies fear that mil
itary supplies might be used for un-
satisfactory purposes-for example,
launching an attack on eastern Ger
many.
Eastern Provinces Chaotic
The eastern provinces of Prussia
are inhabited by Poles and are becom-
ing chaotic. The Poles have organized
national council at Posen, which
virtually is the government of the re-
glon. Disorders connected with Pad
erewski's arrival in Posen led recently
to an outbreak of serious fighting be-
tween the Poles and the Germans. The
result has been that almost the VIII le
by hastily improvised Polish forces
Whether the Poles will continue
operations and attempt to seize other
German provinces claimed by them,
especially the great port of Danzig, is
another pressing question and one
seeming to summon the Allied govern
ments to abandon their policy of watch
full waiting regarding Poland.
To-day and in the several days past
Poland has been taking the largest
place in the French press, in view of
what is believed to be Frances policy
to lend armed support to drive wedge
between the German and Russian Boil
sheviki.
Several papers say the Allies must
do SO for the present and future saliva
tion of Europe. One paper states that
at meeting between Marshal Foch
and the German armistice delegation
this week the Allies will demtnd the
railway from Danzig to Thorn, uniting
the Baltic with the pre-war, Russo
Polish frontier.

to recover $346,866 which he contends
he was unlawfully compelled to pay in

Liebknecht Severely Wounded
Llebknecht was wounded severely in

A dispatch from Copenhagen says
that Liebknecht is reported to have fled
from Berlin to Leipsic. Chief of Po-
lice Eichhorn, according to the "Vor-
warts" of Berlin, has lied to Denmark,
using a passport obtained from the
Danish Legation several days ago. A
large mass of documents has been
seized at Eichhorn's residence
The government in Berlin has issued
warrants for the arrest of Liebknecht,
Rosa Luxembourg and Eichhorn. The
War Minister is quoted as saying that
loyal troops have begun search for
arms with view to disarming the ,op-
ulation of Berlin.

MUNICH, Jan. 13.-The "Spartaccs
terror" at present is dangerously near
being mere play acting. 1t can only
become real through the continued
tlmldlty and weakness OF the German
public.
There occurred in Munich to day an
incident illustrating the ludicrous
character Of the manifestations. The
bavarian Prime Minister had refused
TO receive Spartacide deputation, and
the guard at the door was reinforced
But, undaunted by machine guns, four
sailors climbed the drain pipe and en-.
tered the Prime Minister'S private
room through a window. Thus was
the deputation received.
Equally ludicrous are some Of the
incidents of the Spartacide campaign
IN the country districts.
Wedding Is Halted
AT a neighboring village local Spar
tacldes raided church and stopped 3
marriage ceremony because thew did
not like the political opinions of The
bridegroom. They arrested the bride
groom, handcuffed the priest and
drove the excited bride away.

COBLENZ, Jan. 10 (By The Associ-

in the street fighting in Berlin were
heard by telephone in Coblenz. Sun
day evening an American army officer
in Coblenz called up Berlin. Soon
after the conversation began the man
on the Berlin end said:
Hear that?''
Several sharp cracks were heard over
the wire, and the Berlin voice said:
That is one FOUNDER. They are
lighting now in the streets"
The conversation was resumed. and
the man on the Coblenz end every
now and then heard a series of cracks
which the Berlin man said were made
by machine guns. All during the CON
versation the man in Berlin would
interrupt every few minutes to take
a look out of the window to get an
idea of how the fighting was pro-

After five months of arduous work
in the American hospitals of France,
under the banner of the Red Cross
Mrs. Frank II. Cothren, an active suff-
rage worker of Brooklyn, has returned
to this country.
The signing of the armistice brought
Mrs. Cothren's duties to a standstill in
Toul, and she was sent through the
Argonne, along the Verdun front, to St.
Mihiel and the border of Germany.
Finally she went into the Kaiserland
itself, and to Metz. Her mission was
tc find and aid returning prisoners,
furnishing necessary supplies to the
ragged and reckless crew in whom even
German prison couldn't kill The in
domitable spirit. Finally Mrs. Cothrcn
was ordered back, and is now in Man

Red Rep0It Is Put
DO,un in All Cities
Outside OF Berlin

BERLIN, Jan. ID (By The Associated
Press ).-Order has been completely
restored in cities outside of Berlin,
where the Spartacides had established
themselves, according to reports re-
ceived here to-day. Spandau, which
has been placed under martial law, is
quiet. Fifty-hve Bolshevists have been
arrested, one of their leaders killed
and several wounded. All have been
diSarmed.
Spartacide leaders at Hamburg have
been arrested by military police who
had difficulty in protecting them from
enraged citizens. The situation there,
however, is still tense. Spartacide
leaders at Dresden, when arrested, ad-
mitted they had intended forcibly to
prevent elections to the National AS
sembly.
A newspaper at Wilhelmshaven has
been surrendered by the Spartacides.
The executive committee of the Sol
diers' and Workmen's Council at Allie
has resigned as protest against the
Bolshevists and has ordered the cleo
ton of new council.
Police Chief Richter, immediately
on assuming Office in succession
to the deposed head of the department,
Herr Eichhorn, for whose retention the
Spartacides had fought issued de-
cree declaring invalid all DEGREES of
the Eichhorn regime. He also an
nounced to the policemen that they
would be given back their weapons,
which were taken away from them dur
ing the first days of the revolution.
The policemen greeted Richters decree
by taking off the red bands which they
had been wearing on their sleeves.
In the interest of safety and order"
said the new police chief, ait is neces-
sary that the escaped leaders of the
uprising, such as Eichhorn, Licbknccht

streets Of Stuttgart yesterday, but was
not Impressed by the spectacle. The
combatants lacked revolutionary fire
and spirit. CT course, there was a
great deal OF noise and undirected ac-
tivity on the part of the government
troops, who, in armored motor cars,
with numerous machine guns patrolled
the town.
Champagne Ends Battle
Spartacdes raided the town hall and
captured the portly burgomaster and
sent the aldermen home, but the occu-
pying force became so interested in the
champagne and cigars found in the
burgomaster's parlor that they neglect
ed to guard the building. with the re-
suit that the government troops re-
captured the building and elected the
revolutionists after little firing.
The Spartacides also seized the To-
cal Socialist newspaper Office, and
elected the staff.

night the railway station resembled i.
