BERLIN, May 1.-Germans are asked
for IAN extra hour of labor daily to
save the Fatherland' by DR.. Bernhard
Dernburg, in an article in the "Tage-
blatt."
Based on statistics which indicate an
average working day of 91y hours, Dr.
Dernburg calculates an eight-hour day

Hoped to Make Escape


But the troops gradually ga thered d
around the Vogtland, coming in with
many apologies and explanations on
the part Of the Dresden government
and the general. Aeroplanes were
sent IN advance 10 scatter bandbills
designed gently to soothc the fears
Of the workmen. Moreover, civil
commissioner was sent along with the
troops to restrain their thirst to kill
on sight Hoelz and his band.
lioclZ scented the danger from afar,
but he made good use Of the few davs
Of grace still left him. He did not
remotely dream Of making a stand
against the troops. When they were
still several days mach from Falken-
stein he shifted his headquarters over
to the little town Of Klngenthal, which
lies Immediately on the Bohemian
frontier.
On the last day of his stay at
klingenthal he made hay in two ways.
lie ser. ID detachment of his forces
once more into Plauen to raise money
by going into the leading restaurants
and emptying the pockets not only Of
guests, but even of walters. Then at
kiingenthal he summoned fifteen Of
the leading manufacturers to a confer
ence at the Town Hall. demanded of
them 100000 marks before nightfall.
and lacked them up as hostages till it
should be produced. Later he decided
to let them go out and make their
arrangements to obtain the money. At
the appointed hour they returned and
counted out the money for him on
the big comfortable.
Burns Mansions Before Quitting
Before quitting Falkenstein Hoelz
had set fire to the mansions of five
leading manufacturers, after he had
been mulcting them for several weeks
to meet the expenses of his "army."
He also ordered the detachment that
went to Plauen to rob the restaurants.
that they also burn several fine villas
there, but this was apparently not
done; the valiant band cOntented them
selves instead with pillaging several
homes.
AS the troops closed in on the scene
of war they began to make captures of
Hoelz's Red Guards, all stuffed with
stolen money. There was a sort of
sklrmlsh somewhere, in which Hoelz
was engaged till things grew too hot
for him. The official report records
the fact that his automobile was can
tured, containing his hat; but that
Hoelz himself escaped, "ostensibly in
woman's clothing"
He succeeded in some way in getting
across the frontier, which was prob.
ably not very hard to do, as it is a
wooded, semi-mountainous region. Sew
eral days later the Czechs arrested him
at Marienbad; and now he is to be
brought back to Germany for trial. If
a military court tries him it is not
doubtful what his fate will be; but
more probably he will be brought be-
tore civic tribunal. In that event he
may get five. perhaps even ten years
in the penitentiary.

to it that The unconstitutional state OF
things instituted by tho communist
IToclz in the Vogtland be remedied AS
speedily as possible If this were not
done in the very next days, this pro-
nouncement went on, the government
would be compelled in the general IN
tcrcsts of the state to restore legal
conditions with all the power at it's dis
posal."
Workmen Ordered to Arm
At the same time news from Chem
nitz, which lies near the Vogtland, was
to the effect that Gradnauer had prom
sed no troops should be sent for the
present, and was depending upon the
Chcmnitz executive committee OF the
Socialist organizations) to negotiate
with tho faction committees in the
Vogtland to put speedy END TO
Hoelz's doings. This statement was
made at general meeting of the shop
councils of Chemnitz, wnereupon res
olution was adopted calling for armlng
the workmen, and declaring that a gen
eral strike would be proclaimed at the
first attempt Of the government to send
troops through Chemnitz. The execu-
tive committee had promised several
DAYS before this that it would settle
the Vogtland troubles by peaccablc
means, and Minister Gradnaucr was
still promising mild treatment Tor
HCo1Z and his ranT.
This attitude Of organized labor at
Chomnitz corresponded to the attitude
of the more extreme Socialists else
where. The Independent Socialists
either excused or openly encouraged
Hoelz. Their leading organ at Dresden
declared that the workmcn would re-
sist an armed Intervention by every
possible means, and "the responsibility
would fall with full weight upon the
government" And the "Freiheit," the
national organ of that party, saw moth
ing worse in Hoelz's doings than
breach of party discipline. He was
"acting contrary to the interests of the
revolutionary prolctariat." "Proletarian
campaigns" this organ continued. re
