Paris March 25.-The German gov

ment with the workmen in the Ruhr
valley, where the general strike has
been paralyzing industry and where
hostiltles between soldiers and work
ers have been in progress for several
days past, according to news reaching
French semi.offclal circles today, from
Berlin.
rne bases Of the agreement, the
advices state, are as follows:
Formation Of a. worlImen's council
charged with maintaining order.
"Pemodelling Of the cabinet, with
labor union participation.
Disarmament Of the troops which
took part IN the recent coup d'etat.

arv formations.
Improvement of the food supply
system.
All the majority parties, it IS decar-
cd have accented the conditions un-
dor which the government does not
consider it will be necessary to form
new ministry, believing a few
changes will suffice.
The dispatches represent the major
itv rarties as to tho belief that n
new roactionary movement is not i'm
possible. They point out that Cen
eral Scccht has failed to disarm the
Baltic troops, which are still con
ccntratod n few miles from Berlin

wartime chief of the bureau of nav.

even after war was declared, the
witness said, che used TO say we
have too many reserves now"
Just before war was declared. when
the bureau of navigation was strlv-
ing To recruit reserves, the witness
continued, Secretary Daniels ordered

Der anything about that" said the
witness, "but he dil order me TO stop
enrolment then and several other
times"
/ Captain Palmer told the committee
/ that when war was declared tho
navy was short $1,000 regular and

lief committee for sufferers in
Austria.
Frederick C. Penfield, honorary
chairman OF the organization,
urged upon Mayor Schriver that
he place the campaign in the
hands OF persons who will work
hard for its success.
II was pointed out that condi-
tions in Austria are as bad or
worse than conditions in any of
the other war stricken countries.
Relief soon was said to be i'm
perative to keep thousands from
starving to death Austria will be
better able to care for itself upon
the harvesting of this years crops,
but relief until then is said to be
absolutely necessary.
Urges Further Aid.
The committee has a full rea-
lization Of the many requests put
before the people for financial re-
lief for European war sufferers,
but it is urged that the humanitar-
ianism of the American people be
again extended to offer aid to the
war sufferers of Austria.
The request for funds for Aus
tria is the second made here for
relief in countries that were allied
against the United States in the
war. Some time ago the Society of
Friends, Quaker organization,
launched a drive here for war re-
lief in Germany.

Headquarters in this country for
the relief of war sufferers in Aus
tria are at 261 Madison avenue at
Thirty-ninth street, New York city.
Funds were said will be received

PERSONETTE

Samuel Roth.

Samuel Roth.
John Fiske, the deceased historian,
has simply ruined the Cosmos for
Samuel Roth. You see, when poor
Samuel was but a STRIPPING he read
Fiske's Outlines of Cosmic Philo-
sophy" with dire results. 1t is his
plant that he has never been sure
of the Cosmos since, and he often
used to wake up in the night and
worry himself into cold perspira-
ton about it But of late he has
put the Cosmos family out of his
mind and as long as no one men
tons it to him he is perfectly
happy editing his poetry magazine,
The Lyric, and writing deathless
verse.
He has much to say about the
east with which he edits, and any
one who desires to take up editing
seriously had better read eagerly
through this article.
Nothing is more common nova
days than to establish new poetry
magazine" says the frank Mr.
Roth. Its only a matter of get
ting together enough money for one
issue. With only a little applica-
ton you can find enough credulous
people to put up money for sub
scriptions to cover the cost OF
printing three more issues. After
that the printer will give you credi,
for at least two more issues. your
first volume is completed, and your
reputation as an editor is we'll es-
tablished. So why go through the
world in any humber capacity

The Chamber of Commerce has
been asked by the company, one OF

ing a place of abode for their en-
ployes OF losing them.
1t has been reported to the Cham
Der OF Commerce that several par.

opinion OF officials, this shows a
lack OF spirit of civic pride. Those

Lee Wilson Dodd, and William
Rose Benet, had great quantities Of
very fine poems on hand which no
magazine would publish because
they were either too long or too
serious. So if l did happen to pub
lish the best poetry during 1917,
1918 and 1919, land I readily admit
it, it was due not so much to my
discrimination as chooser, as to
the grand stupidity of the big
magazine editors in rejecting it. |
purchased one long poem by a
prominent poet Il do not give his
name for obvious reasons) for $40.
1t was hopeless to try to sell it to
a magazine, and l am willing to
swear that it will some day rank
among the masterpieces of Ameri-
can poetry.
so as l say, the business OF
running a poetry magazine is
chiefly knowing how to brow beat
your printer. If you only get into
the excellent habit of not paying
printers you can hope to keep go
ing for at least one year. And by
that time the supply of good
poetry lying around loose will
probably be exhausted anyway"

Woman Begs Commissioner
for Chance to Buy.

Commissioner William H. Fitz-
simmons, in charge of the depart
ment OF public health and safety,
has been literally swamped with
offers to buy the four former city
fire department horses. which are
desired for saddle mounts.
All requests have brought the
statement of nothing doing" from
Commissioner Fitzsimmons, how
ever.
Barney and Jud, former No. 6
station fire horses, and Frank and
John of the central station are not
for sale to any one," Commissioner
Fitzsimmons said today.
"The horses are old and have
served the city in lot of hard
work, and are now on pension for
life. Ali four horses are at the
city barn. We work them just
enough to give them exercise. II
the city would sell them no one
knows in whose hands they would
finally end up. Some one might get
ownership of them that would work
them to death, and we do not intend
that such a fate shall be theirs.
Women Want to Buy.
Several requests have been re-
ceived from women to buy the
horses. Although they are old
they look sleek and fat and are full
Of pep" 1t is conceded that they
would make good saddle mounts,
but such is not to be their fate, ac-
cording to the commissioner.
Yesterday young woman from
one of the adjoining counties
begged Commissioner Fitzsimmons

had come to Rock Island with the
express purpose Of buying a mount.
Commissioner Fitzsimmons said to-
day that the young woman begged
him to make the sale and promised
faithfully that the horse she would
buy would receive the best of care
However, it was held that to sell
