brief review OF the things that led
to the formation Of the Spartacus
group and to the obstacles in the
way OF EbeFt's republican rule.
Liebknecht had a checkered career,
and, during the greater part Of the
war, he was in prison. On the sign
Ing Of the armistice, he was freed
with all other political prisoners and
at once proceeded to Berlin. Appar-
emily, it was his desire to gain a
Position for his party by propaganda
and speech and not by force. Unfor-
funately the Russian BoIsheviki chose
him as the man they wished to have
as their agent in Germany and ac-
cordingly sent Karl Radek, one OF
Lenine's associates, to Berlin to or
Eanize with Liebknecht the system
to be followed out by the BolshevilSi
public.

1t was tragic for Liebknecht that

of terror in Berlin. When Lieb-
knecht realized that the Independent
Socialists were not going to be able
to have one Of them-the Spartacans
placed on the council of six, which
at that time was eruling Germany-he
allowed himself to be won over to
Radek's and Rosa Luxembourg's way
of thinking. It Is the writer's opin-
ion that, at the start Of the revolu-
tion, Liebknecht did everything in
his power to keep the Spartacans in
order and prevent any killing and
rioting. Later. perhaps, he saw no
other way out OF it.
Eichhorn, then chief OF police, was
an agent OF the Russian Bolsheyiki in
disguise. As events began to move,
the wisdom of their selection OF this
man was proved, for he attempted in
every way to keep Ebert from using
force. Also ne did everything in his
power to cause contention between
the government police and the gov
ernment officials located at'the chan
celery.
About January 12 things began to
happen very rapidly and when Noske
brought his armed troops to Berlin
and began a systematic search OF all
houses for prominent members OF the
Spartacan party (which was partly

the hopelessness Of their case.

rumored that Liebknecht had fled to

land, but the public did not put

some important owners of rail-
road securities. 1t has been for
warded to the President from a
source that will cause him to give
it careful attention. and with his
usual thoroughness KNOW the
plan when he returns to this
country.
A plan such as that outlined
here would give absolute Sc
CURITY to the present owners
of the railroads. 1t would give
to the public within fifty years
absolute ownership of the public's
highways.
Most important of all, it would
give to two millions of workmen
now, and other millions later, a
valued stake in the Government, a
JOB worth fighting for, well-paid
employment, share of profits due
to extra efficiency.
This plan is good for the
worker, good for the public, best
of all for the man who is well-to-
do, and whom recent events in
Europe have caused to worry
about all securities.
This Government ownership
plan of railroads would create
within the nation a backbone Of
Government workers and Govern
ment supporters that would resist
all false, dangerous agitation.
He who says that Government
has no right to meddle with pri-
vate affairs, including railroads,
does not agree with the Supreme
Court of his country, which o.
colt Us. SuperUisOrS) said of the
railroads:
"They have always been govern.
mental affairs, and it has always
been recognized as one Of the most
important duties OF the state to pro-
vide and care for them"
"ThCy have always been govern
mental affairs and il has always
been recognized as one of the most
important duties of the state TO
provide and care for them."
Above you have the skeleton of
plan that originates through the
workers, as it should, deals justly
with private ownership, as it
should, recognizes and provides
for the right of the people to own
monOpOlies upon which their pros
perity and future depend; a plan,
above all, that will give to mil
lions of workers a special in
terest in their Government, a
share in the nations prosperity,
and a personal reason for defend
ing the Government against all
attacks.
Think over this plan and read it
IN detail when the opportunity is
offered to you, as it will be.

He eventually realized that the lib

L,eibInecht and Rosa Luxembourg
were thought to be the dominant
heads Of the Spartacan party, but any
one who has seen, as the writer has,
Radek. the Bolsheviki propaganda
chief, as he drove about Berlin in an
open car, his hands red with the
blood Of encounters between the Spar
tacans and government troops,
weighed down as he was with his own
guilt and the terror that was destroy
ing Berlin and Germany, could easily
see in him the organizer OF the Berlin
riots. Yet this Bolshevik arch villain
was allowed to escape and Leibknecht
and Rosa paid the penalty.
Ny opinion is that the pan-Germans
and the Prussians (who were certain
ly in league with the Russian Bolshe-
Wiki because they had everything to
gain and nothing to lose by aligning
themselves with them, seeing no hope
from the aIliesl did not suggest the
capture of Radek and that they per-
mitted the killing Of Liebknecht and
the woman just to satiate the mass
that had gone crazy.
Ny presence in Berlin was due to
the fact that shortly after the armis-
tice, at the request of the new Ger
man republic, an order was received
at the French general headquarters
to send a mission representing. the
various allied countries to Berlin to
assist in expediting the repatriation
of allied prisoners.
Apparently the Germans were far
sighted enough to realize that they
would not be able to handle this situ-
alton in a satisfactory manner alone,
and, desiring to avoid any blame,
called on the allied governments to
furnish missions for the work.

BIG -FOUR BLOCK
ITALIANS CLAIMS
Continued from First Page.)

CONTINUED from First Page.)
Adriatic problem, particularly thc
disposition of Fiume, was covered in
rumors freely circulated while the
big four was in session. In French
circles it was reported that the pO~
tion of Fiume on the right bank OF
the Recino river would be given to
Italy and the remainder Of the city
10 the Jugoslavs. This was promptly
denied at Italian headquarters, where
il was said that no such compromise
would be accepted.
President's Mind Made Up.
President Wilson is known to have
definitely made up his mind regarding
the whole italian program before he
met with his colleagues. Persons
close to him declared that under no
circumstances would Fiume go to
Italy and that the only compromise
would be to make the city a free port.
The determination Of the Italians to
force through their claims was evinced
by the fact that Foreign Minister Son
nino temporarily replaced Premier Or
lando as their representative on the
big four" Sonnino has always been
an extremist IN regard to Italian as
pfrations.
Orlando has received a telegram
from Capt. Gabrielle D'Annunzio, say
ing Italy is united for withdrawal

WORKERS and the railroad
MANAGERS is so arranged that
the directing managers would get
more money by increasing the
profits than they would by in
creasing wages. Workmen, we'll
paid, will get their increase in
profits that they have created. The
management will be interested pri-
marily in the profits of which the
people of the United States will
get half. Directors chosen by the
President will have no personal in
terest in profits or railroad wage
increase and will have in mind only
what is fair to the people.
Extension of the railroad sys-
TEN will not be made on the old
basis, by issuing bonds for what
the railroad costs, giving away
stock on which the public must pay
dividends. The new plan will avoid
also railroad building on the "pork
barrel" basis. Extensions will be
paid for by the territory adioin-
ing the proposed extensions.
This would be no hardship on
property owners, or farm owners.
They would welcome it. Build a
railroad, tax the land for five
miles on each :, side, twenty-five
cents an acre, each year for twenty
years, and you will pay the cost
per mile of any railroad built in
the United States.
Thus to build a railroad in new
territory, would cost only five dol
lars per acre for the land bene-
fitted, the payment of the five dol
lars to be spread over twenty
years. No man owning land far
from a railroad would refuse that
payment, if it would bring a rail-
road to him.
The plan here outlined is ap-
proved officially by the two mil
lion railroad workers of the
United States. 1t will be ap-
proved by owners of railroad Sc
curities who value SECURITY
rather than the gamblers chance.
The private owner of railroad
stocks or bonds, who considers his
property an INVESTMENT will
welcome this plan.
The railroad manager who
treats a railroad like a roulette
wheel, and a CROOKED roulette
wheel, selling it short, cutting it,
then buying it low and building it
up, that gambler will not approve
this plan. But gamblers will not
control the railroad policy of the
United States.

Skeletons of Extinct Bird.

Of the ten known existing skeletons of the great auk in the world, the United States is the only country pos sessing two. Greater Boston has these, one being in the museum of the Bos- ton Society. of Natural History and the other in the Harvard university museum.
 The Boston museum contains also an egg of this extinct bird. In view of the fact that a single egg has brought as high as $535, this is con- sidered a most valuable relic.
 This flightless sea-bird formerly was distributed along the northern coasts and islands of North America. In it's coat of sober coloring with a vest of snC y white it resembled nothing so much as q short man in evening dress. Since it was f1ightless the bird was easily exterminated, the natives relish ing it as a food. It probably was wholly exterminated by 1S44.

 "'This must be stopped. MT. Lin coin, you are constantly disturbing this court with your stories.'
 Then he said to me:
 "'YOu may fine yourself five dollars
 Il apologized to the court, but told the judge that the story was worth the money. Shortly afterwards the judge called me to him.

 Il told him, and he laughed aloud, in spite of himself.

MODEL SUBURBS TO
 RELIEVE CONCESTED CITY

LONDON, Aug. 23 Correspondence of Associated Press) Millions of pounds are to be spent in the creation of a system of industrial garden cities which ultimately will rim metrOpOli- tan London. The scheme, just out lined, is the most elaborate city building project ever undertaken in England, and is an adaptation of the model industrial town idea originated some years ago in the United States.
 Building on the first of these flower garden" suburb cities is to begin next year north of London, ac- cording to newspaper announcements. The town will be self-supporting and will cover several thousand acres. Within it's precincts will be an agri- cultural area. It's pOpulace will be supported by several engineering in dustries to be located there.
 The project is an attempt not only to solve LOndOn's housing problem which has become a grievous one, but to prevent overwhelming congestion of the city's industries and other com mercial activities.

It is probable that the first flag was carried by the Saracens in their bat ties with the Crusaders, the latter adopting the idea, which thus spread over Europe. Long before that there had been national standards, however, as the ancient Egyptians carried be fore their hosts the figure of sacred animal on spear. A stuffed cat inn paled on a stick was the forerunner of the banners now used. In the days of the old Persian empire a blacksmith's apron was carried aloft at the head of the army, while the standard of the Turks was horses tail.
