TWO REVOLT PARTIES
One Pledged to Dictatorship and
 Other to Comradeship
Rv Associated Press

Nv Associated Prese
 Halle, Germany, October 1.-Two dis- tiuct revolutionary parties, one pledged to the dictatorship of the proletariat through an alliance with the third inter- natonale. the other working toward ''proletariat comradeship" in opposition to Moscow. have developed out of the wreck of the independent socialists.
 The left majority conferred today on the question of executing an agreement with Moscow for a world revolution and directed the district leaders to prepare for a strike. The minority, in separate convention. laid plans to communicate with the revolutionary forces in all coun- tries opposed to Moscow and prepare on organized campaign against bolshevist methods. They adopted resolution of sympathy with bolshevist aims. but ex- pressing unalterable opposition to the policy of destruction and terrorism on which sovietism proceeds.
 The two conventions adjourned. both claiming the old party's name.
 The struggle for the party machinery, including the newspaper Die Freiheit, is expected to be fought in Berlin

 searches to he made without war
 rant or authority, and by cxercis- ing arrogant surveillance over
 speakers and audiences.
 Under these orders political meet ings have been dispersed, the right to religious worship has been denied. churches have been closed against their members. And yet you say General Steiner has acted well within the stat utes of the constitution.
 You further undertake to avoid and becloud the issue by appealing to prej- udice. In your effort to shield Gen. eral Steiner, you say that the memorial and some of the speeches heaped abuse and applied approbrious epithets to the gallant soldiers, who at great incon- venience and sacrifice are serving the
 state in obedience to duty. many of whom are fresh from the battlefields of France, where they gave their health and stood ready to give their lives in defense of their country. Not one word was said either in the remonstrance or in the speeches against any one except General Steiner, and no abuse or op- probious epithets were applied to him,
 but his acts were characterized as those of satrap or military despot. While we do not propose to reflect upon the military career of General Steiner, we feel free to say that he did not offer
 his life or shed any blood in France. He reached there after the armistice was signed. But many of the men who endured the hardships and encountered the perils of war and shed their blood and offered their lives on the fields of ! France to make others free and the world safe for democracy are being 1 themselves denied by General Steiner's s orders that right for which they suf- l fered and fought. Very respectfully. FRANK S.

the four outside walls are still standing, though the building itself has been com pleteiy gutted.
 The origin of the fire is a mystery, and was probably due to some defective in sGlation in the electric wiring into the laboratory. Dr. Gardner, professor of botany, left the laboratory at F o'clock on Saturday noon, with everything in the usual condition. No one had entered the room so far as known between that time and the occurrence of the fire at midnight Sunday.
 The building is only one of many on the college campus, and there will be no in- terruption whatever in the usual pro- gramnre of the student body. Ample pro- vision has already been made by secur- in., the Methodist Church Sunday school, the old Presbyterian Church, the Y. M. C A. and the gymnasium. A meeting of the faculty was called at o'clock Sun day morning by President Dowell, and every arrangement made for carrying on the work without the slightest interrup- tion Examina tions begin tomorrow, and there is no excitement from this cause disturbing the mind of the student body.
