Civil WAR RACES
IN GERMAN CITIES
Municipal Police Forced to Flee
Frankfort When Mob Seizes
an Ammunition Depot.

LONDON.-During the fighting in
Frankfort fifteen persons were killed
and a hundred wounded, says an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from Ber-
lin.
The police were compelled to leave
the town in consequence of the mob
seizing an arms depot, the dispatch
adds
The militia attacked the barracks
where Noske's troops were quartered
but were repulsed The Noske forces
declared they would remain faithful
to Ebert. Strikers are demonstrating
in the streets of Frankfort.
Accoring to the same correspondent
there has been considerable fighting
between adherents of the old and new
regimes at Dusseldorf. In southern
Germany the Governments are report
ed to be combining to oppose the revo-
luton.
Shots were exchanged between the
torpedo boats in the harbor and work
men in the naval dockyard at klel,
says a dispatch to the Central News
quoting the Berlingske Tidende's klel
correspondent as confirming the sur
render of the German fleet to the new
Berlin Government. Marines are now
occupying the dockyard. A general
strike has been declared by all the
workers except those in the gas and
water plants.
The two Governments of Germany
are now matching wits and forces to
gain control of the republic. DIR.
Wolfgang Kapp, who proclaimed the
new order at Berlin and himself
Chancellor, is employing all his efforts
to assure the German people that
government under him and those he
selects to administer affairs will
mean true democracy, increased pro-
ductiveness and conservation of the
rights of the working people.
Friedrich Ebert, President of the old
Government, who with most of his
Ministers hastily withdrew from Ber-
lin when the revolving troops marched
in and Kapp and Won Luettwitz took
control, is variously reported to be at
Dresden or Stuttgart, and from his
point of security is calling upon the
Socialists and working classes general
ly to stand by the old Government
and to use the strike weapon so that
the counter revolution may be prompt
ly suppressed.

SEE DISASTER IN
SERVICE BONUS
13 of rs House Committee Mem
bers Are Opposed TO Action
at This Time.
COMPROMISE is OFFERED.
Proposal Made to Extend Payments
NJ. Y. Bank Clerk Against Expend-
itures-Enactment Would
Cause Calamity.

Washington.-A preliminary poll of
the Ways and Means Committee of the
house showed that thirteen Of the
twenty-five members are against the
enactment at this time of any financial
legislation of the large expenditure
that would be needed. The assertions
of treasury officials that the raising of
this revenue, whether by the issuance
of additional government bonds or in
creased taxation, would threaten f.
nancial disaster swung several COM
mittee members against the soldier
bonus propositions as well as many
other members of the house.
Of the thirteen members of the
committee against the bonus program,
eight are Democrats, including al but
two of the minority representation on
the committee, while five are Republi-
cans Several of the other ten Re-
publicans are undecided, while prob
ably not more than five of the COM
mittee members still are pressing for
more mediate action on soldier aid.
AS result OF the opposition against
the measure advocates of soldier aid
are now striving to force through a
compromise which would extend the
expenditures necessary to carry out the
program over several years. Such a
plan was suggested by Representative
Nolan (Cal), one of the labor leaders
of the house. He declared that a cash
bonus ought to be given the ex-service
men, but that payments shoul spread
over a period of five years, with ex-
penditures small for the next year or
two, so as not to throw an immediate
burden on the treasury. Mr. Nolan
claimed the necessary revenue could be
raised by 1 per cent tax on gross
rates.
G. NJ. Rushmore, a New York city
bank clerk, surprised the committee by
stating he was an ex-service man
working for 500 a month, but did not
want a bonus. Mr. RushmOre enlisted
as a private, but became a sergeant
during the Chateau-Thierry offensive.
II am opposed to bonus because of
the financial difficulties which would
accrue to the government" he said.
II believe it would do more harm than
COED, because it would just boost the
cost of living another notch and it is
far too high now.
81 have talked to many service men
and I do not believe the majority of
the men want a bonus under present
conditions, because they feel it will
make lot of trouble for the govern
ment."

ALLIES PREPARE TO
CURB GERMAN REBELS
French Inclined to Blame Great
Britain and United States
for Revolution.

Paris. The German revolution
seems to be an accomplished fact in
a large part of Germany. 1t has gained
most of the old empire with the eXcep-
ton of Magdeburg, Brunswick and
Saxony. Hamburg has gone over COM
pletely, and Bavaria, strongest of the
southern states, waverS.
The militarists are complete masters
of the northern and central communi-
cations, whose nerve center is Berlin.
They seem to have well laid plans, in
the execution of which they apparent
ly are displaying all of the old eff
ficiency.
Only the general strike weapon
seems to be left in the hands of the
Ebert government. The strike seems
to be progressing more in the south
than in the north, but how far it will
succeed in frustrating the militaristic
coup is yet uncertain.
That it means a return to mon
archy eventually, preceded possibly by
the nominal presidency of Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg, is the belief in
French circles. By this sudden con-
vulsion in Germany, swinging it back
to the control of those military mas
ters whom President Wilson has de-
nounced so repeatedly, the whole exc
cution of the peace treaty is placed in
peril.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the
feeling of alarm, uncertainty and re-
sentiment against Great Britain and
the United States for their failure to
accept the French viewpoint in recent
months which runs through all France.
Believing that events that have oc-
Cured thus far are merely the prelude
for graver ones requiring decisive ac-
ton on the part of the allies, all eyes
are turned toward the United States
in uncertainty as to what attitude it
will assume with the German treaty
unratified but its troops still on the
Rhine.

FOREIGN.

Without striking single blow in it's
defense, the Socialist Democratic
Catholic regime has fallen. and Berlin
is completely in the hands of the new
government, headed by Dr. Kapp, the
imperial chancellor.
The two governments of Germany
are now matching wits and forces to
gain control of the republic. DR.. Wolf
gang Won Kapp, who proclaimed the
new order at Berlin and himself chan
cellor, is employing all his efforts to
assure the German people that govern
ment under him and those he selects
to administer affairs will mean true
democracy.
The most immediate danger is recog-
nized as a general strike throughout
Germany, which has already made
progress in many of the principal
cities. In the meantime the old gov
ernment is recovering its nerve.
The reactionary movement in Ger
many makes the Kaiser question an
acute one in Holland.
Whatever action the allies take, or
whatever position they assume with
regard to political developments in
Germany will be predicated upon the
enforcement of the treaty of Versailles
The Entente military mission which
went recently to Bremen on Official

when leaving the barracks after pre-

officers there was obliged ultimately
to leave the city without having ac-
