" 3- NEW GERMAN REVOLT SOVIETS FORM REPUBLIC COAST STATES. : Hamburg Declared Capital of Sol- dlers-Workmen Government-- Hun Army Crippled. Stockholm, Nov. 25.--:Adherent§ the Spartacus group at Berlin' at­ tempted to seize the Berlin police pres­ idency. Several persons were killed., pr injured. German newspapers report that the united workers' and soldiers' councils have proclaimed Oldenburg, Oestfrles- land, Bremen, Hamburg and Sehles- wig-Holsteln a republic. The capital will be at Hamburg. Field Marshal von Hlndenjwtfg, ac­ cording to the semiofflpfal Wolff agency, lias telegraphed the Berlin government asserting categorically thM^iho German army, because of the hard terms of the armistice and of the internal situation, Is in no posi­ tion to renew fighting. The German military leader added that even oper­ ations against the French army alone would be impossible. , Berlin, Nov. 25.---The movement to withdraw from Germany and create a separate republic is gaining ground rapidly In the Rhineland, according to reports from Cologne, to the Socialist Vorwaerts. The ^ movement finds strong support on the part of the cler­ icals, as a result of the Prussian gov­ ernment's announcement of its Inten­ tion to disestablish the church. Recent events in Berlin have also apparently Increased the fears of the Rhlnelanders regarding bolshevism. The soldiers' and workers' council for .Greater Kiel has adopted a reso­ lution declaring that all authority be invested in the council until the fruits of the revolution can be safe­ guarded according to the Red Flag, the organ of Doctor Liebknecht, the radical socialist. The resolution de­ clares all banks, principal Industries, and great landed property shall be na­ tional property. All legislation, it-is declared, shall strive in the direction of the social­ ization of the state in collaboration with the soldiers' and workers' coun­ cils. The bourgeois class is to be ex­ cluded. Berlin, crushed, broken and dispir­ ited by privation, has accepted defeat with almost incredible apathy. Paris, Nov. 23.--Premier Clemenceau has asked Charles Lyon-Caen, dean of the faculty of law at the University of Paris, to give an opinion on the quM> tlon whether the extradition of Wil- Bam Hohenzollern can be demanded.

Is the Official Propaganda ajbf „ the Spartacus Extremists. ^ Amsterdam, Nov. 27.--Liebknecht, the radical, has emerged victorious over Ebert, the moderate, in a three days' struggle at Berlin. As in the previous revolutionary combats, the struggle between the two rebel wings has been comparatively bloodless, but the future is fraught with danger, for the radicals, now in complete power, have written . Upon their banner "The end Justifies all means." The affairs of all Germany rest for the moment in the hands of the Ber­ lin workmen anil soldiers' council, which has wrested all power from the Ebert government. The chancellor ahd ̂ his ministers are reduced* to fig­ ureheads. Liebknecht Is devoting himself pri­ marily at.present to an effort to influ­ ence the men returning from the front. The radical leader's ^ oratory is forceful and vindictive. His principal appeal to the proletariat runs thus: "Did the bourgeoisie while In power permit you to have a voice in the gov­ ernment? No; then the working man must not allow It to have a say now. We need a government of soldiers and workmen, one typifyihg the proletari­ at, which will not have to bow down hefnte the entente. "There must be no dickering with entente Imperialism. We will dispose of that just as we did of the German autocracy. The revolution is bound also to reach the entente countries, but we, who made the Russians waste whole years, are demanding that the revolution break out 4n England and France within 24 hours." Simultaneously with the specter of the Red terror another has arisen on the horizon of the strife-swept for­ mer empire: A definite split between North and South Germany, and conse­ quent civil war. The South German states, Bavaria in the lead, have served an ultimatum on the Berlin government that if it is found impossible at the Berlin confer­ ence to re-establish unity throughout the land, Bavaria, Wuerttemberg, Hesse and Baden will secede from northern Germany and form a repub­ lic, uniting the states of South Ger­ many with German Austria. The climax of the struggle between the Spartacus (radical) group and the moderates came when a document was signed between l hem which Berlin dis­ patches describe as an "agreement," but whflch actually was the Ebert gov­ ernment's surrender, for In it the mod­ erates signed away virtually all their power to the Berlin workmen's and soldiers' council. The agreement provides: , "First--All political power is to be In the hands of the German socialist republic and the soldiers' and work­ men's council. * "Seeon<l---Their aim Is to defend and develop what has been accomplished by the revolution and to "suppress all Counter-revolutionary activity. "Third--Pending the election of representatives of the soldiers and workmen's councils to an executive council of the German republic, the executive council in Berlin is to exer­ cise its functions. "Fourth--The appointment and dis­ missal of all members of the various legislative bodies of the republic and until the final constitution is estab­ lished, of Prussia, are to be made by the central executive council, which also has the right of control. "Fifth--Before the cabinet appoints assistant ministers the executive council must be consulted.

The'effect of the new law is as fol-* lows: After May 1, 1919, until the conclu­ sion of the present war and thereafter until the termination of demobilisation, the date of which shall be determined and proclaimed by the president of the United States, no grain, cereals, fruits, or other product shall be used In the manufacture or production of beer, wine, or other Intoxicating malt or vinous liquor for beverage purposes. After June 30, 1919, until the eon elusion of the present Wiar and there after until the termination of demobil­ ization, the date of which shall be de­ termined and proclaimed by the presi­ dent of the United States, no beer, Wine, Or other intoxicating malt or vlyous liquor shall be sold for bever­ age purposes except for export. 8tops Importation of Liquors. " The provision further directs: *' The commissioner of internal rev­ enue is hereby authorized and directed to prescribe rules and regulations, subject to the approval of the secre­ tary of the treasury, in regard to the manufacture and sale of distilled spir­ its and removal of distilled spirits held In bond as of June 30, 1919, un­ til this uct shall cease to operate, for other than beverage purpose; also In regard to the manufacture, sale, and distribution of wine for sacramental, medicinal or other than beverage uses. After the approval of this act' no distilled, malt, vinous, or other intoxi­ cating liquors shall be imported into the United States during the contiQU^ ance of the present war and period of demobilization except wines, which may be Imported until May 1, 1919, provided that this provision against Importation shall not apply to •ship­ ments en route to the United States at the time of the passage of this act, Liquor Men May Flghft. The president's approval of the measure oame as somiethlng of a sur­ prise to many members of congress, who believed that he was not in sym­ pathy with Its purpose, in,view of the pending prohibition constitutional amendment which is in the hands of the states for approval, and especially In view of the fact that the manufac­ ture and Importation of distilled liq­ uors are already under the ban for the period of the war, and the manu­ facture of malt liquors must be stop­ ped December 1 next under a procla­ mation. Some authorities hold that the Jones amendment Is unconstitutional, and It may be that the liquor Interests will carry It to the supreme court, but by the time the supreme court de­ cides the cslse prohibition leaders be­ lieve the nation-wide absolute prohibi­ tion b'll will have been passed. , 4^-j-r Dry Leaders Jubilant. I Columbus, O.--Attempt to form a league of nations for world-wide pro­ hibition, it was stated by dry lead­ ers participating in the world-wide prohibition conference here, would be useless at this time In vlevr of the small representation of foreign coun­ tries occasioned by the world war.' Later the Anti-Saloon League of. America will extend an Invitation to dry organizations of other countries to participate in a meeting when the world-wide orgainzatlon wilt be formed. Gov. Charles S. Whitman of New York, addressing the conferqpce, said: "Although I never have been dis­ posed to deny the largest liberty of personal action and thought to others and have always claimed it for my­ self, and while I have h^er believed that drinking of wine or of beer or of any stimulant, temperately and In mod­ eration. is necessarily or Inherently wrong, yet I do believe that It Is wrong for the American nation longer to permit the licensing and the contin­ uance of an industry whose completed product is found in the almshouses, the asylums dhd the prisons. The liquor traffic Is a national curse." "Wet" Official Indignant. Chicago.--Henry C. Bannard? presi­ dent of the United Breweries, said: "This bill adds nothing to previous or­ ders. The thing amounts to confisca­ tion. I noticed a story of the Chinese government buying opium and then de­ stroying it. They do not do that here. They simply take our property." W v Service Qross for Airman. ; Washington. -- The Distinguished ftervlce Cross has been awarded to Col. (Brig. Gen.) William Mitchell, who displayed bravery far beyond that required by his position as chief of air service, American expeditionary forces, setting a personal example to the United States aviators by polltfng his airplane over the battle lines at peril of his life ever since the entry of the United States into the war, and to Maj.

Chicago.--War conditions, though providing plenty of work for all at the highest wages ever paid, did not prove a remedy for poverty in Chi­ cago, because "the earning capacity per Individual, while greater than ever before, was not proportionate to the In­ creased cost of living."
