REVOLUTION IS
SUPPRESSED BY
YANK OFFICER
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Oct. 10 (by Associ
ated Press).—Single-handed, an Amer
ican intelligence officer recently put
down a "revolutionary” movement in
the area on the Rhine occupied by
United States troops.
The first the Americans knew of
the "revolt” was when news reached
army headquarters that in Luetz, a
village of 200 population, a red flag |
had been hoisted and was waving in
the breeze at the tip of a seventy
foot pole. When the American of
ficer arrived in Luetz the "revolu
tion,” conceived by a society calling
itself “Frosinn" (Hilarity), and com
posed of young men most of whom
were discharged German soldiers, was
well under way, and none of the in
habitants could enter or leave the
village without proper passport pro
vided by the society members.
Luetz, like many German villages
in the hills, has no troops in the
town, the army depending upon an
occasional patrol to keep in touch
with events.
The American summoned the
Gemeindevorstaher, or the chief offi
cial of the town, who informed the of
ficer that this was the third attempt
of the “Frohsinnists” to rule the vil
lage, and that the action was directed
against the Catholic priest, for whom
the young men had a pronounced dis- |
like.
The American officer summoned the
executive council of the society, pro
vided them with pick and shovel, and
had them dig up the flagpole, amid
the applause of the conservative ele
ment of the village. He instructed
the burgomaster to withhold until fur
ther notice any authorization for meet
ings of the “Hilarity," gave the exec
utive council a dressing down, and in
structed the one German policeman
to patrol Luetz at all hours on Sun
days, when most political meetings
are held.
Each member of the "executive
council” promised to be good here-1
after, and none of the society mem
bers were arrested. They agreed tha
the American had convinced then
“revolution” did not pay. The revo
lution had lasted six hours.
BERLIN SCHOOLS ARE
OCCUPIED BY TROOP!
BERLIN, Nov. <i (by Associate!
Press). Some of the public schooli
of the city have been unable to admi
pupils this autumn because the J^uild
ings were occupied by home defensi
troops which camped in them durinj
the vacation period. The authority
of the schools have protested to th<
Prussian minister of education and t<
Defense Minister Noske, pointing ou
that hundreds of moving picture the
aters, concert halls and hotels havi
remained undisturbed by troops.
To provide barracks for these sol
diers the government is confiscatinf
the quarters of numerous war soci
eties.
Because of the prospective shortage
of coal it is planned to combine sev
eral schools, reduce the courses anr
hours of study to eighteen a week
This has aroused a protest.
FAMOUS SALT BATHS
AT SALSBURG CURING
RHEUMATIC SOLDIERS
BUCHAREST, Nov. 6 (by Associ
ated Press).—The famous salt bath:
of Salsburg, where the millionaires o
Austria, Hungary and the Baikal
states used to spend their summers
are now curing rheumatic Rumaniai
soldiers.
Stripped of all their luxurious fur
nishings during the war, the Salsbur;
baths have been refitted with the aii
of the American Red Cross for usi
as a military hospital for chronii
rheumatism resulting from trend
warfare. Five hundred soldiers ar
already there, recovering from rheii
matism and similar diseases contract
ed while undergoing the hardships o
war.
In times of peace thousands of tout
ists visited Salsburg, high up in th
Transylvanian Alps, southwest o
Kronstadt. Many came for the da?
zling social life. With its magnificen
hotels and gay casino it was perhap;
the chief show . place of Eastern
_
Europe. When the Germans pushed i
the Rumanians out of this district, j
early in the war, General Mackensen .
and his staff took possession of the
town and staged luxurious revelry
there. When the Germans left they
looted the place, stripped the hotels
of tapestries, furniture and brass iit
tings. Even the equipment for the
medicinal baths was wrecked.
Under the direction of Major George
C. Treadwell of Albany, N. Y., and
several American physicians, the
>aths were refitted sufficiently to care
or fhe soldiers.
