GERMAN RADICALS
SUFFER DEFEAT
%
BERLIN, Jan 13—After a week of
constant fighting, order is being grad
ually restored and the city is resum
ing it6 normal aspects. The follow
ers of Dr Karl Liebknecht, the socall
ed Spartacus group have been severe
ly defeated. Regent Ebert has as
sembled 40,000 loyal troops in Berlin
and Liebknecht’s followers seem to
have ben overawed by this display
of force.
No concerted attempt to hinder
Ebert has so far been made by the
radical element. Clashes between
small groups of radicals and loyal
soldiers are still occurring, but every
attempt to interfere wnth the estab
lished order is put down and all radi
cals apprehended in revolutionary ac
tivities are severely dealt with by the
jgovernment.
Two thousand of Liebknecht’s fol
lowers have been kiled and the num
ber of wounded are only approxi
mately estimated at between four and
five thousand. The hospitals are
crowded with wounded, besides great
numbers that are being taken care of
by their friends The backbone of the
revolutionary movement seems to
have been broken and Liebknecht’s
followers are gradually being dispers
ed.
Several of the more prominent
leaders are reported to have been ar
rested by the Ebert government, who
is making stong efforts to regain con
trol. The radical group is fast be
coming disorganized owing to the
crushing defeat administered by the
loyal troops.
BERLIN. Jan 17—Considerable
street fighting is still being carried on
in this city.
Heavy losses have been caused by
snipers firing from the roofs of build
ings and considerable opposition is
encountered by the loyal troops who
are endeavoring to restore order and
round up the radicals. Isolated
groups are carrying on a guerilla
warfare but are being dispersed
many of their numbers being taken
prisoners and turned over to the mili
tary authorities for trial.

been unofficially reported, that the
physicians attending the Kaiser, con
sicler the latters condition to be very
serious.
The ex Kaiser’s family is at his bed
side watching the strugge between
life and death.
Hopes are entertained that the ex
Kaiser may rally, but owing to his
enfeebled condition produced by
wwrry and the recurrence of his old
throat trouble the outcome is doubt
ful.
AMSTERDAM,* Jan 14—It is ru
mored here that the ex Kaiser of
Germany has become insane and is
raving continuously.
Ths rumor is ascribed to have em
anated from one of the physicians
who are attending the ex Kaiser at
his residence in Amerongen Castle.
His condition which is considered to
be very grave is supposed to have
baen induced by his brooding over
the collapse of his plans and his con
finement.'
None of the physicians, nor others
who are in attendance upon the ex
Kaiser are willing to give any satis
| factory information upon the subiect
when interviewed.
CONVENTION DELEGATES
TURNS RACIDAL

fight the radical element in the Na
tional Labor Congress was defeated
when the conservatives elected Ed
ward P. Nolan as chairman. Nolan
was a co-defendant with Thomas
Mooney in the now famous San. Fran
cisco Preparedness Day bomb cases.
CHICAGO, Jan 16—Edward D.

Labor Congress in this city declared
that he agreed With any move the
delegates might agree to adopt in
regard to the Mooney case.
He is also in favor cf urging the
government to grant amnesty to all
violators of the espionage laws.
Some of the delegates were thun
derstruck when Nolan who was elect
ed on his supposedly conservative
i„v,^oiKxies made this announcement
while the radical element cheered
him to the echo, giving the session a
Bolshevik aspect.
CHICAGO, Jau 14—Three methods
have been advocated by the delegates
of the American Federation of Labor
in convention assembled in this city
WANTS RELIEF FOR
EUROPEON FAMINE
WASHINGTON, Jan 13—Presi
dent Wilson has sent a message to the
Chairman of the House Appropriation
Committee that the Bolsheviki propa
ganda is making headway at an
alarming rate in Europe and that ow
ing to the serious food shortage the
people are easily prevailed upon to
become converted to the Bolsheviki
doctrine. The President’s message
was read in the House of Represen
tatives where it created quite a sen
sation.
After a lengthy debate of ways and
means to succor the starving people
of Europe, one hundred million dol-l
lars were appropriated to be used in
buying food, and conveying the same
to Europe where jt will be dealt out
to the starving people under Ameri
can supervision to alleviate their dis
tress to some extent. An early pas
sage of this emergency measure is ex
pected in accordance with President
Wilson’s usgency of the need of as
sistance.
The relief of the food shortage is
considered imperative and will great
ly facilitate the establishment of
peaceful and stable conditions.
V. S. DRY
WASHINGTON, Jan 16—Thirty
six states have ratified the proposed
prohibition amendment thereby com
pleting the necessary three fourths
vote required for any constitutional
-amendment.
Unless President Wilson rescinds
his war time dry proclamation. King
Booze will breathe his last gasp on the
30th day of June next.
The liquor interests are expected to
test the constitutionality of the bone
dry amendment iin the U. S. Supreme
Court where backed by unlimited
money they will do their utmost to
save their business.
NO MORE SI RS
PARIS, Jan 14—It is rumored here
that the Allies' delegates to the peace
conference have decided that Ger-J
many might destroy all submarines

so, but must cease constructing them.(
MRS ROOSEVELT GETS PENSION
WASHINGTON, Jan 14—A resolu
tion adopted by the U. S. Senate
grants to Mrs Roosevelt a yfearly
pension of five thousand dollars and
the free use of the U. S. mail, as a
testimonial of national regard for the
services rendered by Colonel Roose
velt to the American people.
EXTEND ARMISTICE
PARIS, Jan 71—It has been of
ficially announced here that the Al
lied governments have granted a
further extension of one month to
Germany. Owing to the delay in the
PEANUTS
WE ARE SELLING QUITE A LOT OF PEANUTS EVERY
DAY but if the public knew the food values in peanuts we
would sell to every household in the city and Peninsula as we are
the only house in this section of the world who roast Peanuts and
Coffee daily.
THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE has proven and
recommends the use of peanuts because peanuts contain very
large quantities of both protein and fat and they are regarded as
a very valuable food and new uses are found everyday such as
butter oil, which rivals the best olive oil and delicious puddings,
soups, etc.
PEANUTS contain 25% protein which is more than- most
meat has and from 40% to 50% of fat.
WE SELL PEANUTS for 10c sack 25c per pound.
Peace negotiations, the further exten
sion of the armlistice became neces
sary.
LAFILLETTE not guilty
WASHINGTON, Jan 16—The U. S.
Senate has adopted a resolution com
pletely exonerating Senator La Fol
lette of Wisconsin of all charges oi
disloyalty brot against him by his
enemies owing to the stand he took
and the policies he advocated when
the question of taxing war profiteers
was under discussion in the United
States Senate.
H,is complete exoneration was no
surprise to his friends and supporters
who knew that his policies had made
him obnoxious in certain quarters
and his elimination from the U. S.
Senate was greatly desired.
The means adopted, of charging
him with disloyalty was considered
the most feasible way to bring about
his expulsion in the then hysterical
frame of mind many people were in,
but their plans miscarried.
ONE HALF MILLION
UNDER ARMS

of War Baker told the Military Com
mittee of the House of Representa
tives that the United States would be

dred thousand soldiers under arms.

to bring the Thomas Mooney case
before the Amtlfican public. One i
method advocated consists in the ap
plication to Congress to move the
judiciary to invoke a writ of habeus
corpus. A publicity campaign to ex
posee the alleged frauds in the prose
cution of Thomas Mooney is the sec
ond method advocated and if other
methods fail, the radical element
favors the calling of a general strike
if all arganlzed labor in the United
States.
Many of the delegates consider thi3
latest method, however drastic, the
most likely to force the whole nation
to take some action to settle the
Mooney case for once and all. Eco
nomic pressure ds according to the ex
pressed opinions of the radical ele
ment among the delegates the only
method left weighty enough to force
a quick decision.
v
CHICAGO, Jan 14—At the conven
tion of the American Federation of
Labor called for the purpose of crys
talizing the sentiment of organized
American Labor in the Mooney case,
some delegates made the sensational
statement that they had discovered
a plot to seize the conference and
turn it into a national Bolshevik
movement. The delegates who made
the charge were bitterly arranged for
their attempt to divert attention from
the original purpose the meeting was
called for and to split the delegates
by makng such a preposterous charge
Very little credence was placed in the
charge which was with the greatest
emphasis repudiated.
A complaint was filed against
Boyan McDevert watchman of the
Chilcoot Cannery charging him with
wilful murder. The watchman was
taken into custody and turned over
to the authorities.
REOPENING OF WOULD WAR
WASHINGTON, Jan 17—Senator
Hamilton Lewis told the members of

son’s first peace principal of publicity

of having the leading labor men in
this country to urge the intervention
of the U. S government in the Mooney

grant this request all organized labor
will be called out on the date set for
this monster demonstration
