BATHING SUITS MOSTLY
SUNBURN; CENSOR NAMED.

Trenton, N. ]. The wearing of
scant bathing suits by girls in public
bathing places in Trenton has resulted
in the appointment of censor of
bathing costumes by City Commission
er George w, Page. Lee Hart has been
appointed censor.
Viewing large group of girl bath
ers, Commissioner Page said they re-
minded him of Winter Garden
chorus. The tights do not reach to the
knees, and the stockings are missing
altogether, brothers. socks being used
instead of the long feminine hosiery.
The commissioner also observed that
there was more sunburn than anything
else on the backs of many of the girls
The girls, when questioned by Com
missioner Page as to whether they
thought their suits we're immodest,
smilingly replied: well, commission
er, we cant swim very well in hoop
skirts"
Page would not take the responsible
ity of debating what the bathing suits
for girls in the public places should
be, so he passed the buck to Lee Hart.

Prepare to Fight,

Berlin, March 15.-Members of
the Ebert government, ousted out
of power by the recent revolution
ary movement, are apparently
gathering their forces to combat
the new regime here. They are be-
ing aided by forces of labor, which
have declared general strike
throughout Germany as protest
against the change in the nations
government.
Prussia SENS to be the nucleus
around which the military leaders
have built up their movement. Re
ports from various cities in other
parts of Germany would indicate
that Gustav Noske, minister of de-
tense in the old government, has
forces at his disposal, and that
there is popular opposition to the
new regime.
Hamburg in Doubt.
Even in Hamburg, the old gov
ernment is said to have taken con-
troll Of strategic points and the
Hamburg senate has issued a
proclamation denouncing the new
government and asserting it's in
tention to retain control in that
state.
Men who are directing the poll
cies Of the government headed by
DR.. Wolfgang kapp have not yet
secured political support, although
a statement issued last night de-
clares the prestige of the govern
ment has increased in south Ger
many since Saturday. Fatalities in
lighting at Frankfort and adoption
OF resolutions by workmen at
Dusseldorf, Essen and Cologne
against the revolt would rot re-
fleet sentiment in those localities to
the regime installed in office on
Saturday.
Threatens Stern Measures.
Strike orders were issued yes
terday in this city, and it is ex-
pected the critical moment for the
new government will come when
working men walk out Chancellor
kapp has announced he would take
decided step to suppress any in
surrection by strikers, but it does
not seem probable he can prevent
wholesale stoppage of work in
Berlin and throughout Germany.
In some sections of Germany the
strike order is said not to be view
ed with favor. but there are tndi-
cations the Socialist parties will
attempt to bring about toal tieup
of business today or tomorrow.
Chancellor kapp has issued man
ifestos in an attempt to convince
the people the government over
which he is presiding will insure
the establishment Of real democ-
racy in Germany. Promises that
elections will be held as soon as
quiet is restored have been given,
and the people have been informed
that maintenance Of order, and pro-
lection Of the country's economic
life will be the only reasons for
the taking of drastic steps by the
government.
Berlin was without news today
beyond the government manifes-
toes. as all the newspapers were
suppressed. The governments dec
larations continued to rail at the
incompetence Of the deposed gov
ernment and promised numerous
reforms. including early general
elections. A rigid telegraphic CEN
sorship has been imposed,
