Berlin, Feb. ia. P)-ASparta-

marched into Gelsenkirchen, in West
phalia, early Sunday morning and
overpowered the local military and
police forces, a portion of which went
over to the Spartacans. The plum

The doors of houses were blown In
with hand grenades and much booty
was secured by the Spartacans.
The Gelsenkirchen banks and thu

time and saved their funds.
The raiding Spartacans came FROM

had been expected in Berlin Sunday
from radical elements. but up to
o'clock this afternoon no disturbances
had been reported anywhere in the

PICHON DEFENDS FRENCH
And Their Fear Of Danger Of Unsatls
factory Peace.

Paris, Feb. 1T.-(A. P.)-Premier
Borden's speech here last night in
which he criticized the delay in con-
summating peace while the troops are
anxious to return to their homes had
made an undoubted impression here.
The same view is said to be taken ny
some Americans, while the British are
not indifferent to the demands of their
territorial contingents, which are sup
ported by the labor element of Eng
land.
Stephen Pichon, in discussing OBJ
stacles to an immediate peace during
a talk with newspaper correspondents
today, said there were many reasons
why the treaty could not be signed at
once, even though the league OF ma
tions project was out of the way. Many
issues that will form the basis OF
peace. he said. were being carefully
studied. Among them is the disposition
of many of the fragments into which
the former Austrian empire has been
divided and another is the treatment
to be accorded Bulgaria.
The French people. he added, want
peace. but they realize at the same
time, the danger of precipitate and un-
satisfactory solutions. He agreed with
Premier Borden there should be no un-
necessary delay but did not share his
opinion that time had been wasted at
the conference. A full discussion of all
questions must be permitted so that
settlement which might be decided up
on would he unanimous. NJ. Pichon said
there was no obstacle to recognition
being extended to the new German
government. but added the Germans
must be made to realize they have been
beaten, fact, he said, of which great
numbers of them do not seem to be
aware. The new boundaries OF Ger
many. he remarked. would he up for
consideration within a few days.

PROBE ILL TREATMENT OF
DOUGHBOYS CHARGE
GOV. ALLEN, OF KANSAS,
TO FURNISH PROOF.
Rules Committee May Be
Called on to Pass on
Point of Order.

Washington, Feb. 17.Q. N. Slap
pearance of Gov. Allen. of Kansas,
before the house rules committee
either today or tomorrow Is expected
to bring to a focus charges of neglect
and ill-treatment of American
"doughboys," which have been flying
about the house since 1t took up the
much disputed army appropriation
bills last week.
A congressional probe of Gov. Al
lens charges that an American divi-
sion which included Kansas troops
suffered cruelty in the Argonne
fighting from lack of artillery and
aircraft and medical support was
provided in the resolution sponsored
by Representative Campbell, republi. :.
can, of Kansas, which Is before the
rules committee.
Gov. Allen promised to back up his
charges by not only appearing in per-
son before the committee but by hav-
ing several army officers who fought
in the Argonne give testimony in
support of them. When Secretary
Baker and Gen. March recently ap-
peared before the committee, they
described the charges as "exag-
gerated."
Another resolution, fathered by
Representative Siegei. republican. of
New York, which provided for a
sweeping congressional probe of the
army conditions, which republican
representatives have referred to in
dacks on the war department and
THE general staff during considera-
tion of the army bill, is also before
the committee.
While there is not sufficient time
left for such an investigation. hear
ings on the Campbell -Siegel resolu-
tions by the committee before the
present congress ends at noon March
4 may develop some of the sensa-
tons which the republicans have
threatened when the truth is revealed
respecting certain army conditions
which they have so often alleged.
The rules committee will probably
also be called on today TO pass upon
the point of order raised by Repre-
sentative Humphreys. democrat. of
Mississippi. against the provision in
the army bill for a temporary army
of 2S,579 officers and 500, 90e enlisted
men to replace the American expedi-
tionary forces on the ground that it
is new legislation'' that Is out of
place in an appropriation. bill.

SETTLES ISSUE OF PORTS


NppTeCIdoic Progress made py fedce
Commission.
Oondon Times Phil. Ledger Cop. Cable)
Paris. Feb. 17.-Appreciable progress
has been made by establishing rules
for the international use of ports. rail-
ways and waterways by the comnlis-
sion appointed for that purpose The
commission has decided on the inter-
naturalization of ports and railways.
That is to say the sharing of control
by two or more nations is not desirable.
The members OF the commission have
been split into two subcommittee in
order TO hasten work.
The first of these is considering the
question of freedom in transit. Under
the heading transit is included the pas
sage OF merchandise on railways, riv-
ers and canals but not roads since the
commission only has in view the con-
signment OF merchandise which would
pass from one country to another
through the territory of a third and in
the case OF merchandise travelling by
road no sufficient guarantee would ex-
tst that part of the consignment might
not remain in the country through
which right of passage was given under
the international convention. The main
object OF the committee is to establish
machinery which will prevent any state
from blocking the passage of goods de-
signed for another state.
Nc levying on Traffic.
The British conception of the condi-
tions which ought to prevail is that the
state lying in the road should not be
able to levy dues or tolls of any kind
or attach any conditions to the passage
of goods or passengers not destined for
itself
The case In point was the control
which the Germans and Austrians used
to exercise before the war over the
eniigrant traffic passing from the
Balkan states through their territory
whereby the emigrants were compelled
to travel by particular steamship line.
The second subcommittee is engaged
with technical details connected with
the special types of transit on rivers
railways and ports. They will later
carry specialization further still and
draft conventions suitable for the con-
ditions of particular rivers or RAILWAYS.

RUSSIANS ALLOW
TIME TO EXPIRE
For Acceptance of Allies In
vitation to Princes Island
Conference.
MUST DO SOMETHING ELSE
Support Gained for Plan
Giving Women Rep
resentation.

Paris, Feb. TIA. P)--Attention
of the delegates to the peace confer
ence will focus on Russia today the
supreme. council having decided that,
as the time allowed for acceptance OF
the invitation. to the Prinkipo con-
ference has expired, something else
must be done. +... ....
Winston Spencer Churchill, OF
Great Britain, has proposed that the
invitation be renewed and that some
of the conditions that made the first
invitation unacceptable to most or
the different Russian factions be
omitted. If the supreme council ac-
cepts this position, as seems possible,
it probably will not insist that the
conference be held at Prinkipo island.
1t Is possible that instead of gen
eral meeting of the representatives OF
Russian factions. direct negotiations
may be initiated, or commissions will
he appointed to get in touch with
the opposing elements there.
1t Is scarcely expected special COM
missions of the peace conference
which are studying questions con-
fided to them will be able to submit
reports to the full conference this
week, but 1t Is hoped that some OF
these reports VIII be ready for revi-
sion by the supreme council, which
is still acting as a medium between
the commissions and the conference.
The committee of the interallied
women's suffrage congress, which
has been interviewing statesmen in
search of support for President Will
sons plan to give women representa-
tion In the conference and in the
league of nations has gained a sue
cess in the estimation or its members.
Satisfactory assurances have been
given by President Poincarc and
Jules Cambon, one Of the French
delePates to the peace conference and
by Foreign Minister Hvmans of Bel
gium. Premier Clemenceau. in add-
tion, has promised to support n bin
giving women the right of municinal
suffrage, which is now pending in the
French chamber of deputies.

SHACkLES REMOVED
From Karl Radek. Russian Radical
aadaA

Berlin, Feb. l7.-Karl Radek, the
Russian radical leader, who was
placed in prison chains here several
days ago, has had the shackles re-
moved as the result of pleas made by
his counsel, Herr Weinberg.
A petition for the reiease OF RadelS
also has been filed with the commit
ting magistrate. This plea is based
on three contentious. The first is
that Radek came 10 Germany from
Russia at the invitation of Herr
Mueller and Herr Molkenbuhr, and
therefore is entitled to ex-territorial
rights. The second is that Radek en-
tered Germany under his own name,
which is Karl Sobelsohn. The third
claim is that Radek is an official en-
voy from Russia and therefore is ex-
empt from trial IN the courts or Ger
many.
