He chiefly directs his attacks at the proposed National Assembly. The indications, however, are that his effort to win over the returning- soldiers has failed. Yesterday's meeting was marked by violent opposition of soldiers. The Radical leader's principal appeal Is to the proletariat. Rosa Luxembourg Is ably seconding Dr. Liebknecht. Her oratory Is of the loquacious and fire-eating group.

"There is a story by Brand Whitlock, you may have read It, which relates just such' a case as this. But I am innocent, and have nothing to fear."

Uersaaaa Still Moderate. It Is admitted that the German coun cils have not yet developed the ex travagances which led to the disinte gration and anarchy In Russia, the councils not being dominated by the Bolshevik element. The Daily .Mall, while pointing out the analogy to the developments in Russia, suggests that the new step Is part of a "big bluff aimed at per suading the allies that the old Ger many is defunct. The Daily Express also thinks the menace is possibly exaggerated for the purpose of Impressing the allies with the difficulties of the position.

I TOMORROW mm I WATCH THIS SPACE ning along Fifth avenue a half mile north and south of Twenty-sixth street pursued by shouting uniformed men, most of them hatless and coatless When they went to the meeting the men, almost without exception, wore red neckties because red flags were under official ban. These red ties were the special mark of soldiers and sailors. After the fight they were cherished as souvenirs. Hundreds of Reds Beaten. Hundreds of the Socialists were beaten, but so far as could be learned none was seriously hurt. The police had the situation well in hand half an hour after the' close of the meeting and the street was cleared except for stragglers. United States Marshal McCarthy and police inspectors were inclined to blame the uniformed men for the trouble. They declared the t meeting would have proceeded peacefully enough in spite of the more or less explosive speeches, had it not been for the soldiers and sailors. The atmosphere In the garden was tense long before Scott Nearlng opened the meeting. Pandemonium broke loose when the band, after playing "The Star- Spangled. Banner and "The Jlarseil- alse," swung into tho "International and a Russian revolutionary song. Shouts of "Long live the International were followed by booing and hissing, when the police, seizing red flags, sud denly displayed, marched their owners from the auditorium. Then minor but simultaneous conflicts broke out In va rious parts of the hall. Andirnee Is Excited. All the speakers pleaded with the au dience to remain calm, Nearlng stating that there were persons present only too eager to "disrupt" the meeting. These warnings, however, were dis regarded whenever the red flag made its appearance. After Nearing predicted "a bitter taste of job hunting this Winter" and assailed the "capitalistic press" and other "indications of plutocracy," he raised a deafening applause when h said: "During the next ten days Mr. Wilson will go to Europe to use his efforts to make the world safe for democracy. At least we may ask Mr. Wilson to grant a general pardon to all political and class-war prisoners before he sails for Europe." Then a red flag bearing in white letters "Withdraw allied troops from Russia" was dropped from the balcony, and after this had been removed and two more displayed from another part of the balcony, marines and sailors, forming in a flying wedge, rushed down tho main aisle and past the police up into the balcony. From the outside their comrades hurled themselves against a side door and nearly suc ceeded in bursting into the auditorium. Two resolutions were adopted at the meeting. Moonry Case Considered. The first indorsed "the plan of action suggested by organized labor bodies on the Pacific Coast" to prevent "Tom" Mooney from hanging. The second ex tended "our fraternal greetings to the Socialists of Germany." protested against armed interventipn "in the in ternal affairs of the German people," demanded the return of American and allied troops from Russian territory and pledged the audience to "work with devotion and fervor until the industrial republic of America takes its place among the industrially free nations of the world. saia tnat the Liards had moved on Thursday. In the deserted rooms the police found more papers referring to the abduction and blackmailing scheme, and a box in which a new automatic pistol had been shipped from the fac tory. While the Inspectors were searching the rooms Mrs. Liard returned for her laundry. She was arrested, and be came at once highly Indignant at what she termed 'a police outrage," and re fused to tell where she was domiciled or where her husband could be found. The Inspectors were still interro gating her when the telephone rang. They asked a woman bystander to an swer the call. "Did you get It?" queried a mascu line voice. "Yes," the woman re sponded. "AH right," the voice an swered, and the receiver clicked. A few minutes later Liard called again. "Is this you, dearie?" he asked. "Yes, come on up," the woman replied. Liard appeared a few minutes later. As he entered the door the three in spectors. Snow, Kellaher- and Tacka berry, pounced upon him and pinioned him securely. Prisoner Is Sullen. At the police station Liard stoutly declined to talk, declaring that he would have nothing to say until he was permitted to see an attorney. While Chief Clark questioned his wife in a closed room, Liard was subjected to a "sweating" by the inspectors. When asked for a statement Laird replied: 'As I understand It, they haven't made a formal charge against me. AH that I have learned has been purely by way of innuendo and fly remarks. Yes, I was told to the effect that I was charged with murder. Last Thursday my wife and I, In our car, were stopped before the Benson Polytechnic School by a party of officers, who gave us a thorough grilling. We answered to their entire satisfaction, apparently, and I thought no more of it. They asked me any number of questions con cerning my whereabouts and past life. Now, in charging me with this, they have gone so far as to say my word Is no good anyway, so I'll say nothing. This might get to my folks. Heaven knows I wouldn't have them hear of It, yet bad news travels fast, tney say Asked when he arrived In Portland and where he came from, Laird curtly replied: You'll get nothing of that sort from me. That has to do with my past. Ask the officers If you want to know. They claim to be clairvoyant or something of that sort. I have nothing to say until I am permitted to see an attor ney. If my attorney tells me to tell the truth, why, I'll tell the truth, but If he advises me to use circumlocution I'll use it. Sure, I have a Hupmoblle, two of 'em. I suppose that makes the crime doubly heinous, but they are not gray, they re black and the police have not located either of them yet, he laughed. Couple Meet la Butte. In her confession to Chief Clark, Mrs. Liard said that she met Liard but short time ago. In Butte, Mont.; that he seemed to be well supplied with money and was of ens-aging personal ity. When he came to Portland a month ago she accompanied mm ana tney were married at Vancouver. Not until after their marriage, said Mrs. Liard did she realize the source of her husband's funds. Assured of her loyalty, he disclosed his criminal opera- ions to her, and boasted that he was the man who held up a Northern Pa cific mall-car. in the Seattle yards, some weeks previous. Last Saturday, said Mrs. Liard, her husband told her that he was bound Both Are Rescued From Army Cargo Ship, Ticondercja, Sunk by Submarine. LONDON, Nov. 25. Lieutenant Julius H. Fulcher, of Frisco, N. C, who, with Lieutenant Frank L. Muller, of Oak land, Cal.. was taken on board the German submarine Deutschland from the torpedoed American Army cargo ship, Ticonderoga, September 30, and was brought to Harwich yesterday by the U-boat, was wounded severely when the Ticonderoga went down, ac cording to the Harwich correspondent of the Daily Express. He escaped on a raft and was picked up by the U boat. Lieutenant Muller was taken aboard by the same boat. "They gave me a drink of brandy and questioned me about American troops and other things," said Lieuten- nt fulcher. "I was then taken to the forepeak where I had to sleep with not less than 35 German sailors who lived in this dungeon. The first bath I had was when a rain squall hit the submarine while I was on deck. "On the eighth day of my captivity. Germany sent a peace note and on the 11th day the submarines were recalled from the American Coast. On the 13th day, we encountered a Norwegian vessel from New York to Australia. She was captured and sunk after her provisions had been transferred and the crew turned adrift in a small boat 1000 miles from land. 'We fired 60 shots at an English sailing ship two days later, but two British cruisers appeared and we sub merged. The cruisers dropped depth charges and the submarine trembled." "The first shots from the submarine." Lieutenant Fulcher said, "badly wound ed the captain, killed the gun crew and set our ship on fire. The decks were quickly littered with dead. We managed to get the fire extinguished and to lower boats, but in the excite ment and confusion most of the poor fellows about us were drowned. The submarine again attacked us, and we kept up our fire until we realized the ship was sinking and that it was use less to continue. We then decided to surrender."

There Is no lack of evidence that Liard intended to carry out his pro- ramme of blackmail and threat.
