bAVARIAN PRESIDENT
DENIES EFFORT At
GERMAN DOMINATION
'EINWOHNERWEHR' Is BODY OF
HOME GUARDS AND NOT PART
or MILITARY ORGANIZA-
TI0N OF KAISERIAAND

Berlin, Nov. 27.--Reports that or
ganizations have been formed in Ba-
varia for the purpose of restoring
the MONARCHY, and establishing Ba-
varian domination over Germany
were discrcdited by Minister President
Won Kahr. Of Bavaria, today.
In n statement 10 the press. the
assertion was made that iumors OF
separatist ard revolutionary move-
ments in Bavaria have been circulat-
cd by opponents of the present coali-
tion government there, which Is bour-
geoise and violently opposed by com
munists and Independent socialists in
Germany.
Much that is misleading has been
said" declared President Won Kahr.
"about the Einwohnerwehr in Bavaria.
"The Einwohnerwehr is an organi-
za;ion composed OF citizens, and some
times known as the 'Bavarian citizen
guard 1t is not unlike the law
and order committees which some
American communities have organized
to protect themselves against rowdy-
ism, pilage and disorder"
President Won Kahr stated the or
ganZation had a membership of about
100000. When asked about rumors
that the Einwohnerwehr has IA gem
eral staff and that such officers as
General Ludcndorff, formerly chief in
command Of the German armies in
France, are assisting in its direction
the Won Kahr said such reports "we-e
absolutely foolish"
"The Einwohnerwchr is not a mill
tary organization in the usual sense
of the term hut merely a home guard
of civilians and military men, alike,
many Of whom are over or under
military oge and are physically un-
fit for military service"
Asked II he believed the entente
would Insist that the Einwohnerwchr
be disbandcd on Jan. /, when Ger
many's military strength, under the
Versailles treaty, must be reduced To
100000 men. President Won Kahn re-
piled
Not il the entente thoroughly un-
dcrstands the nature OF the organi-
2ation."
In response to n question regard
ing the actual numerical strength of
the communists and other factions
of the extreme left which Is opposing
the Enwohnerwchr, he replied
From 90 to % per cent of the
people, Judging from election figures"

ASSEMBLY LEAGUE
NATIONS COMPLETE
WORK IN 10 DAYS
Delegates Have Worked at
Record Speed; All Com
mittee Reports Ready;
U. S. Treaties Filed

Geneva, Nov. 27.--Optimists at the
meeting of the assembly of the league
of nations are counting on finishing
the work of the season next week.
or 10 days earlier than was calcu-
lated by league officials. This hope
is based on the fact that committees,
numbers one and two, have virtually
finished their work. the international
court is out Of the way and the
ornaments question has been disposed
of by practical adjournment. The
principle relative to the administra-
ton Of new members, has also been
decided upon.
Some apprehension is still felt in
some quarters, however, that the dis
cussions in full assembly, which will
be summoned on Tuesday and possibly
those on the question relating to the
league council and assembly will be
prolonged.
CZecho-Slovak delegates are now
furnishing the only opposition to the
admission of Austria to the league.
Switzerland is strongly advocating ad-
mission, with the proviso, however.
that If reaction occurs in Austria,
with a restoration Of the monarchy,
she will insist upon the right of the
province of Voralberg to decide wheth-
er to remain a part of Austria or not.
Voralberg recently requested that it
be attached to Switzerland, but this
reques; was rejected by the latter
country.
Committee number four. which has
been examining the accounts Of the
league, finally has approved the com
paratively high salaries paid the per-
sonne Of the secretariat, finding the
high cost of living in Geneva justi-
fled them. in part. while the expenses
of each worker in reaching his native
country should also be taken into ac-
count.
The organization committee has
decided to approve the suggestion that
the four elective members Of the
council shall be chosen, SO that only
one term win expire each year. 1t
has also decided TO set up n com
mittce 10 study all proposed amend
ments to the covenant OF the league.
Geneva, Nov. 27.-The first Ameri-
can treaties to he filed with the
league of nations, were put officially
on record today when Sweden pre-
sented the text Of two agreements
with the United States.
The first of these, signed Oct. is.
last is in the form Of a proclama-
tion by President Wilson, extending
the copyright law of 1909 as applied
between Sweden and the United
States.
The second treaty cancels article
XI. and XII. Of the consular con-
ventlon between Sweden and the Unit
ed States. making them terminate
March IS. 1921. The treaty was sign
ed June IS, last.
Under the covenant OF the league
of nations, the various countries must
since Jan. 10, of the present year,
even those in which the other con-
tracing party is not Il member Of
the league.
Arrival of the first American treat
les, although they are minor ones,
was an occasion Of considerable inter-
est among the league members, and
officials.
a total of 81 treaties and agree
ments have so far been filed with
the leagues various members.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 27.--All efforts
to ascertain the fate of the 16 per-
sons aboard the barge W. J. PiiTie
reported ashore SO miles south of Cape
Flattery on the Washington coast,
had proven vain up to an early hour
this morning, several hours after the
vessel was reported TO have struck
on the rock coast.
The last word concerning the Pirrie
came at 1870 last night in n message
believed from the navy radio station
at North Head, Washington. which
said it was believed the Pirrie was
aground on the Rocky James Island
off Quillayute, Wash.
No direct communication has been
made with the barge since the steam
er Santa Rita, which was towna
her to South America, cut her loose
shortly after noon yesterday in what
shipping men describe as the worst
storm in years. Meagre details Of
the struggle, of her drifting closer and
closer to the rocks, and finally OF
her probably grounding at James Is
land, We're received by indirect routes
from Capt. j. Tibbetts, captain of the
Santa Rita. For four hours nothing
was heard.
Radio stations which could commu-
nicatc with the Santa Rita were iso-
lated from lowerland points. A wire
into North Head navy radio station In
Washington was made workable and
n little news OF the fight for life
trlckled out.
Shipping mon held out little hope
for saving any OF those aboard the
Pirrie If she actually was on the
rocks although the weather was
reported moderatlng early today. The
steamer Atlas wlrelessed early last
night that she was proceeding 10 the
aid of the plrrlc and the coast guard
cutter. Snohomish. left Jort Angeles,
Wash. late yesterday to give aid.
Nothing further had been heard
from the Atlas late today. the Sno-
homish was expected to reach the
scene about a. IN. Meanwhle COM
municaton routes to many coast
towns were blocked or broken. some
roads were under water. others were
blocked by fallen trees, which In
some cases carried down telegraph
and telephone lines in their fall, and
repetltions of yesterday extraordinary
high tides were expected at some
points. These tides yesterday flooded
the business sections Of Marshfleld,
Oregon and Aberdeen, Wash. and
caused some lumber mills there to
close down.
Two men lost their lives by electro
cutlon as result of the storm. They
were Joseph Velosky and Victor a.
