According to the figures Of census
statistics in Chicago yesterday 1t is
now exceeded only by London and
New York. At the last census Chi
cago was fourth In rank among the
cities OF the world. London was first,
New York second and Paris third.
But Paris had been growing at the
rate Of only 10000 a year for the last
ten years. while in the same period
Chicago has grown at the rate of
nearly 10000 q year.
Chicago would soon have passed
Paris In any case, but the war, with
!ts awful drain on the lives Of Paris
ians, helped to put them in fourth
place. It Is considered certain, say
the statisticians, that Paris has ac-
tually lost each year for the last six
years while Chicago has grown stead
lily.
Ten years ago Chicago had only
S,is5,z55 residents within her Douil-
daries. Twenty years ago she could
claim but 1.sss,575.

Washington. March 27.-Consti-
tutionality of the prohibition amend
ment and parts Of the enforcement
act were attacked by o brief filed In
the supreme court today by Christ
ian Fiegenstein, d brewer of New
ark, N. j.
Fiegenstein is appealing from fed

featuring beer containing more than

Arguments in this case as well as
in the original suit brought by New
Jersey and appeals from Wisconsin
involving these questions will be
heard by the court Monday.
The brief, which was prepared by
Elihu Root and William Guthrie,
contends the amendment Is invalid
because IN reality 1t is legislation
outside the scope of limitations i'm
posed by article V. Of the constitu-
ton; that 1t impairs the state police
or governmental power and that 1t
has not been legally ratified by three
fourths of the states because the
constitution of several states re-
quires submission of the amendment
to the electorate.

General Palmer is going after the
democratic presidential nomination

the scramble for delegates.

been established on q pretentlous
scale, the first to be opened by any
democratic candidate. Branch head
quarters will be opened in Chicago
soon. and later branches will be es-

Falkenstein. Saxony. March 25.-
Workers have taken over control in
towns and cities Of lower saxony.
but there is an impression their as
tendency will be shortlived. as they
are not sufficiently organized In a
military way to resist pressure sue
cessfully. It is noticeable that the
nearer one comes to districts where
the government troops are in power
the weaker Is the workers hold on
affairs.
In this little town fifteen miles
from Plauen. Max Hoelz, whose
regular Job is lecturer In q moving
picture theater, is directing affairs.
Widespread reports that he had es-
tablished a soviet republic made him
famous thruout Germany few days
ago, but these rumors are declared
untrue. The burgomaster fled when
the upheaval came two weeks ago
and workers have since been CO.
operating with the other town Of
f1ciais, mono of whom has been re-
moved.
The principal task Of tho workers
is policing the town. A guard num-
bering several hundred men has been
recruited from trade union and rev.
olutionary elements, end men have
been placed in banks to prevent
withdrawal Of money by wealthy de-
positors.
Not Seeking Soviet. Rule.
One hundred workers undeN Hoelz
entered Plauen IN motor iorrics Sun
day night and kidnapped City At
torney Hubert and held him as a
hostage until ne had given up data
he had gathered for the prosecution
OF trade unionists and communists
accused of political agitation. Hoelz
has established headquarters In the
castle of Freiherr Falkenstein, who
has fled from this region. 1t was IN
this castle that the Associated Press
correspondent interviewed Hoelz to-
night. He u a small, young appear
ing man with a thin face and sparse
hair, but with glowing brown eyes.
He said in part:
THE time is not yipe for the es-
tablishment Of soviet form of gov
ernment. The agriculturist would not
approve Of 1t and we would be quick
lly starved out. We recognize the alb
sclute helplessness OF workers IN
case Of armed conflict and we will
not attempt to physically resist mil
;tary oCcupation of <Falkenstein. II
the troops appear we will again call
, a general strike"
Hoelz, for whose arrest there Is
reward of 5000 marks, said the work
ers' grievance against the govern
ment was it's militarism, and assert
ed they would try to weaken the gov
ernment by agitation. Falkenstein IS
on the edge OF what has been called
.Germany's starvation belt"
