Soldiers Widow Steals
To Keep From Starving

Spectators in the Fifth Avenue
court, Brooklyn, yesterday witnessed
the spectacle Of a magistrate and court
attaches contributing to fund to free
from custody a prisoner who had con-
fessed theft.
When Mrs. Gertrude Miellentz, Of
329 Fifty-seventh Street, Brooklyn, was
arraigned on a charge of stealing q
watch, a bracelet and other articles
valued at $52 from her landlady, Mrs.
Lena Holman, the young woman told
story of privation and bereavement
that caused even her accuser to de-
mand that she be released.
The husband of the prisoner had
been killed in action in France, she
said, in August, 1913. One month after
she received the news of his death her
infant son died. She received no in
surance from the government because
her husband had enlisted as a single
man, and his allotment and insurance
went to his mother and sister. She
had taken the watch, she said, so she
could procure money with which to buy
food. Magistrate Reynolds announced
that the law made it necessary to re-
cover the stolen property before free
ing a prisoner, and he led subscrip-
tion list to obtain the 81 with which
to redeem it from pawn.
J. V. Hull, the finger print expert of
the court and member of the Ameri-
can Legion, promised that his post
would make a fight to have Miellentz's s
insurance paid to his widow.

Electric Arc Welding
Approved After Test

Building officials of New York and
Brooklyn approved the electric arc
welding demonstration given yesterday
in the Crescent Athletic Club in Brook
lyn, and the Electric Welding Com
pany Of America will try the scheme
on it's own building at the foot of
Court Street.
Riveted and bolted steel structures
withstand weight of 45 pounds a
square foot. Trusses were welded at
the demonstration and then loaded with
sand bags. They withstood 95 pounds
square foot.
When the steel is welded the joint is
invisible. A building put up in this
way is virtually one-piece construc..
ton. II. B. Payne, chief engineer Of
the Electric Welding Company, said
that this method of construction saved
20 per cent in time, material and cost
and is more serviceable.

Ebert's supporters on the Right openly
favor resistance to disarmament, France
sees no reason why she now should be
asked to give way. The French gov
ernment is pledged to the nation to see
Germany disarmed before anything
else.
France also accuses the German
government of issuing colored and mis-
leading reports of Sparticist risings.
The official information handed to
France dealing with the situation in
Germany to-day contains exaggerations
which are intended to impress the AL

which are known to be exaggerated

.ByStarvation
Entente Representatives Are
Giving Every Assistance
to Ebert Government to
Re-establish Full Power
Hard Fighting Still On
Communists Hold Several
Large Cities; Supply of
Food May Be Cut Off
BY Arthur S. Draper

From The T,ibune's Europcon Burenu
Copyright. 1890. New York Tribune Ino. !
LONDON, March 2o.-The assist
ance which the Entente representa-
tives are giving to the Ebert govern
ment In Germany is expected to 20 far
toward restoring order in that coun-
try, although official reports to-day in
dicate that the Communist movement
is not ended.
Lord Kilnarnock, the British Charge
d,Afaires in Berlin, congratulated the
Ebert government on the overthrow Of
Dr. WoifGang Kapp and his associates,
and added that the granting of food
stuffs. raw materials and credits would
continue provided constitutional con-
ditions prevailed in Germany. 1t is
believed the Communists will be de-
feated by the food shortage in Ger
many and the dependence Of that coun-
try on the Allies for food.
Although the fighting continues in
and around Berlin, the greatest dis
orders have occurred At Leipsic, Kiel
and Essen. In Leipsic armed work
men are reported fighting the Reichs-
wehr (national troops) and an air.
plane was used in attacks on the pub
lie buildings. Several hundred have
been killed or wounded, the dispatches
say.
The battles at Kiel between some
naval units and bodies Of workmen are
reported to have been especially fierce
and long continued. The casualties are
estimated as high as thousand.
The Communists are holding Essen,
Elberfeld and Cassel, but South Ger
man troops are now marching into the
Ruhr Industrial district, the aLvices
report.
Settlement of the disorders depends
largely on the result of the conference
which was being held to-day in Berlin.
The conferees hoped to reach de-
cision on the demands of the Fedora
tion of Labor, representing all the work.
ers, including the Independent Social
lists, most of whom have been support
ing the Communist movement. (The
settlement Of the strike was announced
in later dispatchcs.)
The demands of the federation in
cluded the punishment of DR.. Wolfgang
Kapp and his associates in the at
tempted revolution; the putting Of or
ganized labor in charge of armed agen-
cies for the maintenance of order; a
reform Of the civil service system; the
naturalization of the coal and copper
mines; the immediate enactment of new
social legislation; the retirement of
Gustav Noske, Minister of Defense; of
W. w. Heine, Prussian Minister of
War, and of Herr Oeser.
The Ebert government has offered a
large reward for the capture of DR..
Kapp.
