LONDON, Jan. 18. There is un
bounded relief thrnuehmih Oormnnv
over the passing of Karl Liebknecht I
and Rosa Luxemburg, the Spartacidc
leaders. It is said that not even the
death of William Hohonzollern, the
ex-kaisei would cause greater satis
faction. The cry in Berlin now is
'Eichorn next!
When it became known Wednesday
that Dr. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem
burc were at the Hotel Eden, in the
western part of the city, a crowd rap-j
idly congregated and stormed the ho
tel lobby. Both were spirited to a side
entrance to the hotel but the mob fore
stalled the attempt of the troops , to
save Fraulein Luxemburg. She was
beaten into insensibility and then
thrown into an automobile by the
crowd, which intended to take her to
prison.
Rosa Luxemburg Shot.
A few blocks down the street the
machine was halted by a second mob,
and when the presence of Fraulein
Luxemburg .became , known,, a , man
jumped on the running board of the j
car ana snot ncr tnrougn me nenn.
The body was dragged from the auto
and carried off. It is supposed that it
was thrown into the canal, but it has
not been found.
In the meantime Dr. Liebknecht was
hurried into another automobile by of
ficers and troops, and the car was
headed for the Moabit prison. While
going through the Ticrgarten the ma
chine was halted by a punctured tire.
Dr. Liebknecht was asked to get out
by the officers, who intended to hail
another automobile and continue, to
ward the prison. While waiting Dr.
Liebknecht made an attempt to escape
and was shot dead by soldiers, who
anticipated such an effort on his part.

"No, thero was no leak; I just

LONGER TRUCE
FOCH EXTENDS ARMISTICE FOR
PERIOD OF ONE MONTH.
Erzbergcr Protests Against Terms
Says World Armistice Will
Be Brought on.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. lsi-Tho armis
tice between the allies and Germany
has been extended, the agreement to
that effect being signed by Mnthias
Erzbergcr, tho German armistice com
missioner, at Treves, according to a
Perlin dispatch received here.
The meeting between Marshal Koch
and the German delegates was fea
tured by protests of Mathias Erz
bergcr, representing the Germans,
again.st the status in which Germany
was lert during the period of the ar
mistice. The "financialNtnd economic
dictatorship of the entente" Was the
theme of his main protest. -
"When will you raise the block
ade?" Herr Err.berger asked. "The
food conditions in Germany are daily
growing worse and hunger will pro
duce a mental state which the allies
cannot desire. Your peoples them-1
selves are not proof against a world !
revilution.
Inquiries as to Prisoners
"Will thc entente," h? continued,
''undertake binding obligations re
specting the return of the German
prisoners of war? , When will you be
in a position to conclude a preliminary
ptace? Germany has asked six times
fo negotiations for a preliminary
peace, but has received, no reply."
Herr Erzbergcr, who made these
statements in a speech opening the
proceedings, declared thc Germans
had fulfilled the terms of thc armis
tice up to the limit of possibility. In
t):e cases in which tho terms had not
been complied with the entente was
responsible, he insisted, especially s
rcparding the delivery of transport
material. .
Herr Erzbergcr complained that the
freedom of movement had been im
p'.'dcd between thc occupied territory
i.nd the rest of Germany and he de
flated that the measures taken by
the allies in Alsace-Iorj-aine proved
th: t France aimed to anticipate the
decision of the pea re conference by an
nexing the provinces without respect

BERLIN, Jan. 18. Marshall Foch

Treves, State Secretary Erzbcrger
stated to the German government, ac
cording to a report in circulation here.
Of this sum $7,500,000,000 was for

by Germans to Northern Franco. and

other damages.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 18. Chancellor
Ebert of Germany has threatened to
resign, rather than take the responsi
bility of signing a "peace of might,"
suid a dispatch from jicrlin today.
The Berlin Zeitune Am Mittag and
tho Dusseldorf Nachrichtcn and other
papers sounded this same note:
"What have wo been doing for
peace? Our enemies arc hard at work.
We have done nothing hut war on ban
dits. When the time comes we shall
sec the disastrous effects of our inac
tivity. Our enemies are preparing a
cut and dried peace treaty. When it
is ready we shall rot be allowed to
discuss it, but must accept Whatever
terms they wish to impose."
4t is apparent that Germany is go
ing to make a desperate attempt to
bluff the allies. She Is n8t ready to
accept any terms offered.
It is understood horo that bolh
Count Brockdorf-Kuntzau and Chan
cellor Ebert will take the stand that,
as Germany has accepted' Wilson's 14
points, they will refuse to Bign the
treaty; if these areeillior abundoncd
o.' altered.

part. For tho information of 6regon

"Under orders from tho First army,"
reads tho official instruction, "tho illst
division will bo relieved from th
front line tonight (October 3) and
placed in die corps reserve.
The corps wishes you to understand
that this relief results solely from a
realisation by higher command that
your division has dono lis full share in
the recent success, ami is entitled to a
rest for reorganization. This especially
during thc past three days it has
incurred heavy casualties, when cir-
umstanccs would not permit advance
or withdrawal.
"At a time when the divisions on its
flanks wero faltering and even falling
back, thc Hist pushed ahead and stead
fastly clung to cvorv yard gained.
"In its .initial performance your di
vision has established itself firmly on
the list of the commander-in-chief's
reliable fighting units. Please extend
to yoiir officers and men my apprecia
tion of their splendid behavior and my
hearty congratulations on the brilliant
records they have made."
In hia accompanying letter General
Greene voices his aorrow that he was
'not allowed to lead thc division on thc
field, and declares that there are no
better men "in all tho vast host serv
ing under their country.' flag."
General Grccno writes that he has
been retired from active service and
ordered home from Manila, and that hef
