"Work'' as a Watchword:
Editor of ''Red Flag in
Moabit Prison, Is Shot

LONDON, March 15.-The German
National Assembly on Thursday, ac-
cording to advices from Weimar. nv
way of Copenhagen, adopted a bill
concerning socialization of factories
IL also passed measure regulating
the coal industry.
The Bavarian Central Counci, %
Soviets has issued a statement de-
claring its desire for complete social
lzatlon, according to advices from Mu-
nlch, by way of Basel. A Socialist
central economic office will be created, i,
IL IS said, control of which will be ex-
erclsed by a council which will in
lude workmen, intellectuals and peas
ants.
DR.. Gradnauer, former Socialist
member of the Reichstag and former
minister, has been elected Premier of
SaXony, Basic dispatch says.
AS the Saxon chamber has passed
resolution asking for socialization of
industries in Saxony, it has been de-
cided by the Bavarian Central Coun-
Gu to get into communication with the
saxon government and propose that
experts on social questions be sent to
Plauen,. Saxony, for conference.
,,,rl Leo Jogisches, one of the editors of
The Red Flag" and prominent Com
munist leader, has been shot down in
Moabit Jail while resisting the prison
guard. according to a dispatch from
Berlin. Jogsches was arrested in
street demonstration.
The "Vossische Zeitung" is informed
that similar killing occurred in
Moablt recently, although the identity
OF the Spartacide leader who was the
victim is not known.
The "Freiheit" makes a significant
reference to the fate of Radek, the
Russian agitator, who, it says, was re-
quested by the jailer to abandon his
daily walks in the prison yard, as the
Jail authorities could not vouch long
for his personal safety.
Although Radek was arrested several
weeks ago, no announcement has been
made concerning the date of his trial

Cruiser-Battleship Question
One of Reasons for Dam
iels's Trip to Europe
Peace Congress May Act
Secretary to Confer With
Foreign Admiralty Off
cials OH Navy Programme

WASHINGTON, March 15--Impor-
tant conclusions, which probably will
be reflected later at Paris in the dis
cussion Of limitation of naval arma-
ments, are expected here to grow out
of the Forthcoming conferences be-
tween Secretary Daniels and his aids
and European Admiralty officials. The
secretary sailed to-day, accompanied
by his three chief technical advisers.
While the main object of the trip
of the American officials is to gather
information upon which the Navy De-
partment can base q report to Con-
gress relative to the proposal to sub
stitute gigantic composite cruiser
battleships for present day capital war
vessels, the fact that such pro-
gramme would render all existing
fleets obsolete and that its cost would
be enormous, insures, in the view of
many officials here, that the project
will be taken up at the peace confer
ence.
Pending the return of the secretary
and more complete intra-service dis
cussion, naval officials generally are
inclined to defer judgment as to the
advisablity of adopting the composite
ship programme. They take the view
that even in it's narrowest and
strictly American aspect, the proposal
raises questions of such a farreach-
ing nature that individual opinions
should have no weight. Only the con-
sensus of the seasoned and trained
judgment of the service, they argue,
should be considered by Congress when
the departments report is presented
Britain Watches With Concern
In the view here, even the American
35-knot battle cruiser project now held
up to await decision of the greater
New-York tribune., 1919-03-16

question of composite ships, has in it
elements that make it more than a
purely national matter under present
conditions. Officers say that If COM
petitive naval building is to continue,
other powers must provide similar
ships, as not even Great Britain has
built or is building craft of equal eff
cheney In their own peculiar sphere.
1t is understood that progress tow
and the construction of the gigantic
battle cruisers, six Of which already
have been authorized. has been
watched with some concern by British
naval authorities, since it probably
would necessitate additions to the Brit
ish naval budget. There is little doubt
among most officials here that the
British would welcome an international
understanding at Paris which would
eliminate that source of expenditure.
The standard fighting ship of to-day
is the superdreadnought, in the
American and British navies vessel
with speed of approximately 90
knots, an armament of twelve 16-inch
guns. an armor belt varying from II
to IA inches in thickness and a dis
placement of about $4,000 tons. Such
a ship costs about $20.000,000. The
United States has ten of them under
construction or authorized and the
naval appropriation bill which tailed IN
the final hours of the last Congress
authorized ten more for the next three
years.
Will Be Much Speedier
The proposed ship now urged by
some American officers would have a
speed Of 20 knots, carry twelve 16-inch
guns, an armor belt OF from II to ID
inches, displacement about $4,000 tons
and cost S40000,000. 1t would carry
the same offensive and defensive power
as the er-dreadnoughts and would
make six knots an hour greater speed.
The price of this increased speed, Of
ficers declare, would be doubled cost
of construction and almost double size,
the latter carrying with it far-reaching
engineering changes in harbors, navy
yards and dry docks to accommodate
such monster craft.
No such vessels have been built or
projected by any other power, so far
as known.
This composite" battleship, for
which Admiral Mayo, Commander in
Chief of the Atlantic Fleet; Vice Ad-
miral Sims, commanding abroad, and
many other high officers who have
served overseas have contended, is
supposed to represent the maximum
attainable in speed without the sacri-
flee of gun power or armor.

work" Premier Hirsch of Prussia
declared in opening the Prussian AS
sembly in Berlin yesterday, according
to dispatches from Copenhagen. The
delegates to the assembly were elected
by universal equal franchise
The Premier referred to the perni-
cious effect Of strikes on industry. He
declared Prussia was ready to be in
corporated into united German state,
but it would be mistake to split
Prussia into republics which were not
capable of existing by themselves.
Herr Leinert, Majority Socialist, has
been elected president of the Assembly
Herr Porsch. also Majority Socialist,
and Herr Frenzel, Democrat, were
elected vice presidents.
Herr Leinert formerly was a mem
Der of the Prussian Diet and was chair
man of the Workmen's and Soldiers
Congress in Berlin last December.
"Acute unrest prevails in the whole
Westphalian industrial region, and it
the British bridgehead in that direc-
tion," says a dispatch to "The Mail"
from it's correspondent with the Brit
ish army.
The German province of Westphala
is one of the most important industrial
districts in Europe. 1t has one of the
richest coal fields in the world, and the
iron industry there has been developed
on a vast scale. The British bridge
head east of the Rhine is semi-circu1ar
in shape, centring about Cologne, the
radius of the circle being approximate
ly eighteen miles.

President Wilson to act as arbitrator
in her boundary dispute with Peru was
entirely without foundation.
1t is explained that such astep might
be, considered as seriously compromis-
ing the governments position with
the Ecuadorian Congress before it had
had chance to pass upon the league
of nations project.
A Paris dispatch on March 10 re-
ported that the Foreign Minister of
Ecuador had requested President
Wilson to arbitrate the Peruvian
Ecuadorian boundary dispute The ex-
pectation in Paris, however, it was
said, was that President Wilson would
prefer to submit the question to the
league of nations.

cape from Ferrol, Spain, last night, was
chased by destroyer and sunk, ac-
cording to a Havas dispatch from

we som etines have drop of fifty
degrees in a few hours, in the winter,
or a similar rise in the summer
The manner of setting the instru-
ments is simple but hardly explain
able here. If a thermometer refuses
to '3stand hitched'', that is, to stay up
or stay down, it is called @Eretreater''
and must be sent in, and Uncle Sam
never sends out a new theremome ter
until he gets the old one back The
rain gage is simple affair and quite
accurate for rainfall but there is no
way of getting an exact measurement
of snow moisture in this windy
country where the snow is usually
very dry and nearly always drifted-
None of these instruments are self
registering and the observer has no
wind gage or air pressure gage.
At setting time Monday evening,
December 8, 1919, the ttset mark of
our thermometer was @tninus one'',
or one degree below zero. Before eight
o'clock Tuesday morning the temper
allure had gone down to minus 14'',
or Ia below. The temperature rose
slowly and reached one above in the
afternoon, the range for the day be-
ing Is degrees The set mark Tuesday
/ lowed toward morning by temper
ature of Is below. The south wind of
Wednesday morning caused the tenn
perature to rise much faster than it
rose Tuesday, although it was that
very south wind which caused the loss
of a good many window plants and at
the same time made one 3<feel' the
cold much worse. The coolest hour of
the Pa is usually about sunrise and
| the warmest period is usually about
O'Clock in the afternoon. In calm
weather the lowest temperatures will
occur in the lower situations-often a
difference of several degrees is observ-
| ed between the Wa-Keeney and the
Saline valley only few miles away.
! There is often a great difference in
Thermometers; cheap instrumen
may be correct at one temperature and
| "away off, at another.

very rare in December in This part of

below on the goth, 1915; three below

the limit for the first half of the
month for the last six or eight years
at least.
Almost every county in the state OF
Kansas has at least one cooperative
weather observer and some of them
have two such stations, the total be-
ing about 125. Each of these obser-
vers is equipped with a rain gage and
two thermom eters, a maximum and {
minimum. AT the Wa-Keeney station
these thermometers are read anc
set and the readings put on recort
in the evening. When they are reae
