G0mpers Renews
Fight On Congress

Washington, Feb. 11.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, resumed his at
tack on Congress yesterday. charging
in an official statement that 1t has
failed utterly In any kind of fight
to protect the people from the trusts
and profiteers.
Mr.. Gompers' statement. following
his appeal to organized labor for po-
litical activity yesterday, was in an
swer to criticisms Of labor's attitude
uttered by Speaker F. H. Gillett in a
speech last night at Springfield, Mass.
"Mr. Gillett said the congress made
a fight upon the trusts" Mr.. Com
pers stated. THAT kind of fight
seems to the people of the United
States to be more of burlesque. As
for the charge that labor is q menace
to the business OF the country, it is
absolutely unfounded."
Senator L. Y. Sherman of Illinois,
commenting today on the American
Federation's political appeal, said:
IF the labor union leaders had the
courage of their convictions they
would organize a third party instead

TWO THOUSAND KOREANS, OR.
CANNED ON CHINESE TERRI
TORY, ROUTE GARRISON.

London, Feb. 11.-Northern Ko-
rea has been evacuated by the jap
anese, it is claimed in a wireless dis
patch from Moscow today, quoting an
Omsk message. The population rose
to aid Korean forces from Chinese
territory, it is declared.
The Omsk government, as given in
the bolshevik wireless, says that on
February bands of Koreans raised
in Chinese territory crossed the from
tier and attacked the Japanese. Mass
es of the population are joining the
insurgents, it is added, the japanese
retreating and evacuating northern
Korea.
Washington, Feb. 11.-Official dis
patches received here today said a
force Of 1000 Koreans, armed prin-
cipally with equipment furnished by
the bolsheviki, crossed into northern
Korea from Kirin, Manchuria, and at
tackled Japanese post of 700 men at
night, killing 800 of them and routed
the remainder.
According to these dispatches, the
attack was the initiation of an active
rebellion in Korea. 1t was described
as "the beginning of a tremendous
affair.""
Several other clashes have occurred
between the insurgents, greatly rein
forced by recruits from the natives of
the district and troops forming Japa-
nese frontier posts, the dispatches
said. In nearly every case, the Jap
anese were outnumbered heavily and
were forced to withdraw after suffer-
ing heavy losses.
According to official information,
bolshevik authorities are in close
touch with the Korean leaders and
are making every effort to provide
their troops with adequate equip
ment.
Reports received here recently 50 id
the entire length of the branch of the
Siberian railroad running from vladi-
vostOk west through northern Man.
churia had come under bolshevik in
fluence and that movement was on
foot to organize the local bolshevik
forces in combination with the nu-
merous bands of Chinese brigands to
invade Korea.
Three full Japanese divisions are in
Korea but it is said in Japanese cir
cles that these have been so scattered
to maintain order that they probably
could offer little immediate resistance
to an invasion.
Officials here have known for
some time that many thousands of
Koreans who fled into Manchuria
were meditating hostile action against
japan. While there is no real boil
shevic feeling among these people. ac-
cording to the authorities, they are so
stirred by hostility to the Japanese
that they probably are willing to join
with any other element in attacking
them.

GERMANY PLANS
A COUNTER CLAIM
OF "ALLIED WAR GUILTY."

Berlin, Feb. 11.-Germany is pre-
pairing list containing the names of
Allied soldiers and high officials who
are accused by the Berlin government
of violations of the laws of war and
plans to submit it as a counter pro-
posal to demand of the Allies for ex-
tradition of Germans who are alleged
to be war criminals.
This list is in the course of COM
pilation and it is expected it will be
ready for publication and delivery
shortly. 1t will contain specific in
dictments based upon alleged authen-
ticated material which is on file in
the German archives. 1t was stated
tonight Germany, however, would not
demand extradition of the men named
in it's Indictment.
Amsterdam, Feb. IL. - Former
Crown Prince Frederick William of
Germany has offered to give himself
up to the Allies in place of the hun
dreds of Germans demanded for ex-
tradition on the list recently submit
ted to Berlin, according to telegram
purporting to have come from him,
published in the Handelsblad of this
city. The telegram, addressed to the
kings of England, Belgium and Italy,
the presidents of France and the
United States and the emperor of
Japan, says:
"As the ex-crown prince, wish to
take the place of my countrymen. If
the Allied and associated govern
ments desire a victim let them take
me instead of the 900 Germans who
committed no other crimes than to
serve their country in war;"

relations of the national assembly to-
day to support the governments stand

Independent socialist members re-
fused to subscribe to this declaration
which was adopted at the meeting of

hours this afternoon. The govern
ment has decided to submit the Off

torney general at Leipzig with in
structions to investigate the offenses
listed and determine whether the
charges made by the Allies can be
punished under the German criminal
or civil codes. He will also be asked
to determine to what extent these
charges trespass upon the rules If

Only cases where specific charges
have been filed in the Allies list will
be considered by the government. For
instance, members of the cabinet are
convinced trial of DR.. Theobald Won
Bethmann-Hollweg for the violation
of Belgian sovereignty and the depor-
tation of her civilians would be Who'll

tary measures for which he was not
responsible. Wholesale blanket in
dictments such as were filed by Po-
land, it is stated, also fail to afford
tangible basis Of procedure.
