than by workmans blow torch, as
at first believed.
The prisoners are being housed

C|V|[::!'WAR DEEMED
POSSIBLE OUTCOME
German Labor Supports Re.
public IN Controversy
With Monarchists.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, September 6.-PresideHt
Ebert's order, forbidding former
army officers to appear in public in
their old uniforms, except when at
tending the funeral of a comrade,
has brought 3 protest from the mon
archists, who declare there are many
officers who are too impoverished to
buy civilian clothes and that there
fore the presidents decree means
virtual imprisonment for them.
The order was issued to curb mon
archiStic agitation, in which officers
parading in resplendent uniforms
have been playing conspicuous
Prince Eitel Friedrich, Gen. Luden-
dorff and Field Marshal Won linden
burg, who seldom appear in public
except in full army regalia.
The order applies to ex-soldiers as
well as officers, but the former are
permitted to wear. their uniforms il
buttons. and insignia of the kaiser's
regimasAres removed.
MoAarehfstlc Organizations.
THE monarchists recently have been
sgitating against the republic
through the medium. of soldiers. or
ganiZations, such as the Front
Fighters" the steel Helmet" and
the '.Nationa Association of SOL
ders."
sThe movement received the enthu-
siastic support of a number of news
Hapers. which became so outspoken
that the government suppressed them
and issued warning that further
agitation would not be tolerated.
Labor organizations have assumed
united front against the associations
of officers and soldiers who are seeking
tp re-establish monarchy. and. in the
campaign of propaganda which has fol-
lowed, serious threats and charges and
Gpunter charges have been made.
Labor Fights for Republic.
iThe socialists and communists. and.
in fact. all the ultra asradicals. have en-
listed in support of labor ito save the
epubhc." Though they are not unani-
nous in supporting the present gov
ernment they are of one mind in the
helief that the monarchists must be
completely ieradicated.
sO1e Of the chief arguments of the
labor Organizations in their agitation
against the insistent propaganda of the
rnonarchists is that return to the
old regime would mean the loss of the
elght-hour day, which has been the
workman's principal benefit OF the war
and the revolution.
The, monarchfsts are meeting this
argument with the assertion that under
u monafchy the cost of living would be
reduced at least by half, and 1t is
known that a certain percentage of the
working population. hard hit by low
wages and high prices, is listening at
t4ntiveiy to this appeal. remembering
nre-war conditions. when there was
plenty Of food for all at prices which
the poorest-paid wage Garner could
pay.
The controversy between these two
factions has resulted in another class
war;" in which both sides have been
preaching the doctrine of hate. appar-
tntly with an unalterable antagonism
to compromise. Many speakers on both
sides have advocated resort to any
sort'of weapon. and recent political
murders have so intensified the hatred
that there are observers who believe
civil war is not improbable.

Be FRIENDLY TO
THE BULL SNAKE

MANHATTAN. Kan, Aug. l5--A
full crown bull in a Kansas al
falfa field is worth at least $3.50 a
month TO the former on whose land
he lives.
This is the statistical deduction of
experts at the Kansas state agricul-
tural college here. Tney arrive at it
in this way:
There are on an average six gophers
to the acre and they damage the al
falfa crop to the extent of about $3.50
u month. A bull-snake Of this kind
can keep an acre free.
The calculations are those of F. l..
lliSaw, mammalogist at the college,
and j. h. Rogers of its zoology depart
ment.
"A full grown bull-snake," says Mr..
Hisaw, lis capable of eating all the
gophers on an acre of alfalfa in one
month and during the six warm
months of the year is able to clear six
acres.
alfalfa growers should take SER
ious thought of the economic impor
tance of these harmless snakes. BY
protecting them great deal of mon

GASOLINE BOMB is
PLANTED IN STORE

What is believed to have been an
incendiary plot to destroy small dry
goods store in the Rialto theater
building at Calexico was nipped in he
bud at 4 o'clock yesterday mofniug
when night watchman's acute sense
of smell warned him of the fire. Quick
response by the border city fire depart
ment checked the flames before any
serious damage resulted.
Members Of the CaleXico fire depart
ment say that they found a gallon can
partially filled with gasoline and a
pile of burned papers under seat IN
the theater auditorium Immediately
back of the partition which divides the
theater from the store, and that they
also found indications that gasoline
had been poured over the floor where
the fire started. An investigation will
be conducted by the fire department
and police in an effort TO sdlVe the
mystery.
The acting chief of the CaleXico fire
department said this morning that his
investigation lead him to believe that
the indendiarist did not contemplate
burning the theater, as there were
many other places where a fire could
have been started in the theater with
greater chances of success than would
have been possible in the place where
the attempt was made.
