GERMANY IS BEGUN
Members of First National As
sembly Meet at Weimar.
TOWN NON-PRUSSIAN ONE
Historic tittle City Host to Most
Notable Throng Ever Gath
ered la Its Limits.
WEIMAR, Wednesday, Feb. 5. (By
the Associated Press.) Weimar today
Is filled with the most notable throng
probably that ever assembled in this
beautiful little German city. Some
3000 German political leaders, ranging
in repute from such well-known men
as Chancellor Ebert, Phillip Scheide
mann. Count von Brockdorf f-Rantzau,
the foreign secretary, and Mathias
Erzberger to the humblest and hitherto
unknown figures from every corner
of the former empire have been gradu
ally assembling here and are ready for
the opening tomorrow of the first Ger
man National Assembly.
Special trains for the last two days
have been pouring passengers into
Weimar, until the city is filled to over
flowing. Yet so thorough and careful
had the arrangements for the assembly
been made that virtually every one
who arrived had been given accommo
dation by nightfall. Each person not
only had his living quarters definitely
assigned to him in advance, but his
eating place as well.
Private Houses Requisitioned.
Weimar fortunately possesses an un
usual number of good, although small,
hotels. Virtually all of these were
requisitioned by the authorities. Many
private houses and spare rooms in resi
dences also were requisitioned. The
Weimar "Wohnungsrath," or residence
bureau, then took up the task and
allotted living quarters to specified
groups, such as the ministerial party,
the members o the assembly and the
correspondents, thus keeping each
group together as nearly as possible.
The authorities then designated the
eating places for the city's guests.
These places were divided into three
classes the better hotels and pensions,
where the luncheon costs more than
five marks and the supper more than
four marks; the hotels and pensions
where the meals cost from three and
one-half to five marks and the smaller
eating places where the prices range
from two marks to three marks, 50
pfennig.
Cards Issued to Guests.
Each guest Is obliged to eat at the
place assigned to him and must present
the proper card calling for such serv
ice. First of all there is a pink card
allowing the delegates and newspaper
men to enter Weimar and assigning
them to their places in the court the
ater, where the national assembly will
be held. Then comes a gray card, as
signing the lodging place and stating
the exact price to be paid for the
room. Next comes a yellow food card,
indicating where meals may be eaten.
In addition there are booklets of
Pink, blue and green slips, represent
ing seven breakfasts, luncheons and
suppers, respectively, and gray, red,
brown, yellow, maroon and blue tickets
for bread, sugar, etc.
The entire arrangement is a charac
teristic German system and it seems to
work excellently except for the annoy
ance of keeping track of so many cards.
Weimar Strongly Policed.
Weimar is strongly policed with cav
alry and infantry. Mounted troops are
constantly on patrol to prevent a pos
sible Spartacan attack.
The special arrangements for feeding
the delegates and others taking part in
the assembly will admit of the serv
ing of meals with a good choice of
dishes and a fairly Wide selection of
luxuries. The butter served is ap
parently the real article and marmalade
and tea may be had.
The government has occupied the
beautiful, ancient, but recently reno
vated theater, where the assembly will
be held and which has already been
transformed into the appearance of a
legislative chamber.
Although the constitution for the
new republic undoubtedly will be one
. of the first subjects brought up for
discussion and consideration, there are
on the scene those who would like to
push to the fore the discussion of a
league of nations and there were pre
dictions In some quarters today that
this subject might have first consid
eration.
Town on-Pru8nlan One.
Weimar, capital of the grand-duwhy
of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, 50 miles
southwest of Leipzig and 141 miles
southwest of Berlin, known as "the
poets' city" and "the German Athens,'
was chosen for the gathering of the
first German National Assembly, it is
said, because it Is a non-Prussian town.
It is situated in a fertile valley on the
river Ilm, a small tributary of the
Saale, and has a population of less
than 50,000.
Here, amid the old buildings that re
mind one of a medieval past, the 410
representatives of the German people
elected on January 20 assemble to ac
cept, reject or amend the draft of a
constitution which has been prepared
by the Ebert government and to form,
perhaps, a union of state on the mod
ern American principle.
Sleepy old Weimar, famous as the
home of Goethe, Schiller and I'szt, is
said to have existed more tar 11 cen
turies. Under Charles Augustus, Grand
Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, the
town became a center of Liberalism as
well as art. Its most important build
ing is the Palace, described as "a huge
structure forming three sides of a
quadrangle, erected (1789-1803) under
the superintendence of Goethe," only a
remnant of which, however, with a
tower, is still standing.
It contains a series of rooms dedi
cated to the poets Goethe, Schiller,
Herder and Wieland, all of which are
decorated lavishly with mural paint
ings. Near by is the house where
Goethe lived from 1782 to 1832, a home
of luxury for that day built as a gift
to the poet by Charles Augustus and
presented to him by his patron upon
Goethe's return from his Italian tour.
REDS RAM PAX T IX MADGEBCRG
Saxony's Capital Scene of Spartacan
Demonstration.
PARIS, Feb. 6. (Havas.) Serious
disorders have occurred in Magdeburg,
capital of the province of Saxony, ac
cording to Berlin advices. Soldiers
and sailors, armed with grenades and
machine guns, broke down the doors
of the courthouse, liberated 160 pris
oners, smashed shop windows, pillaged
shops and trained machine guns on the
inhabitants. The government troops
are vigorously attacking the revolu
tionists. AMSTERDAM. Feb. 6. The city of
Bromberg. German Poland, has been
recaptured from the Poles by German
troops, after brisk fighting, according
to advices received here.
PARIS, Wednesday, Feb. 5. Ger
many is pictured as "a land of grave
yards," by Lieutenant-Colonel Searle
Harris, of the United States Medical
Reserve Corps, who has just returned
to Paris after having investigated con
ditions east of the Rhine. He says
the German nation is bankrupt and the
people actually starving.
"There are no eggs, no milk and only
half a pound of beet sugar for each
person a month," he says.
"Shop girls have lost from 10 to 45
pounds in weight, while every one
shows a lack of vitality. I found
children going to school shod with
paper sandals or with cloth shoes to
which wooden soles had been attached."
EBERT GOVERXMEXT ATTACKED
Red Flag, Organ of Spartacans, In
dulges in Diatribes.
BERLIN, Wednesday. Feb. 5. (By
the Associated Press.) The Spartacan
organ, the Red Flag, which, since its
resumption of publication a few days
ago, has been again indulging in the
most violent attacks on the Ebert gov
ernment, issued today a strong appeal
to the workingmen to avenge the
"throttling" of the Bremen insurrection
by adopting resolutions of protest and
electing new soldiers' and workmen's
councils under radical control.
The Spartacan organ demands again
the overthrow of the government, and
refers to Premier Ebert and Philipp
Scheidemann as ""bloodhounds." It calls
the workingmen "to the breastworks"
and urges them to gather for the pur
pose of inspiring ' terror.
The organ of the independent Social
ists, Die Freiheit, declares that now
that the details of the Bremen fight
ing are known, the soldiers and work
men should protest against the present
shame-covered government and create
a new storm of fury, which ought to
sweep it from Its place.
The majority Socialist organ, Vor-
waerts, exults over the outcome of the
Bremen revolt.

HUN ARROGANCE TO HALT
GERMANS LESS ARROGANT
CREST OF CRIME WAVE AT
COBLEXZ HAS PASSED.
Citizens, It Is Believed, Have Ac
quired Wholesome Respect for
U. S. Military Regulations.
BT CYRIL, BROWN.
(Copyright, 1!19. by the New York World.
Published by Arrangement.)
COBLEXZ. Feb. 6. (Special Cable.)
It is believed that the crest of the crime
wave in Coblenz has passed and that
the inhabitants have acquired a whole
some respect for American military
regulations through many arrests and
convictions for their Infringement.
This has been accomplished in part by
the requirement that the German
press give the widest publicity to of
fenses and to the efficiency of the
Third American Army in detecting and
punishing them.
The Coblenz Gazette features a' com
pulsory advertisement, by order of the
Burgomaster, citing 66 Teuton offen
ders in Coblenz and its suburbs against
American military law. These cases
were brought in January before an in
ferior provost guard.
The most common offenses were
buying, receiving, trafficking in or
stealing food or other property of the
American Army. There were 32 con
victions under these charges. Numeri
cally second were charges of selling
hard liquor to American soldiers. Thir
teen Teutons got fines or jail sentences
for this.
Several offenders were convicted on
two or more counts. There were two
convictions for insulting American of
ficers, one of the men, Karl Kentel, get
ting 90 days in jail, and Fritz Viebsson
paying a fine of 300 marks..
Allies Decide to Impose 'Full Will
on Germans Who Have Not
Fulfilled Armistice Terms.
PARIS, Feb. 6. The society of na
tions commission of the peace confer
ence has virtually covered one-third of
its task, it wan officially announced
this afternoon.
Agreement, tne statement adds, has
been reached on the principles underly
ing the whole draft for a society of
nations.
The fact that there has been much
discussion at the sessions of the com
mission for framing the society of na
tions has' led to the belief in some
quarters that the success of the plan
was endangered. It may he stated,
however, that in the opinion of men
behind this project, such is not the
case.
Published reports that certain fun
damental principles dear to the Amer
ican delegation have been sacrificed
are declared to be untrue, it being ex
plained that some of the features de
scribed as discarded never were includ
ed in the original American or British
plans.
Lord Robert Cecil and General Smuts,
representing Great Britain, met in the
rooms of E. M. House with Premier Or
lando, of Italy, and Dr. Welington
Koo, the Chinese delegate, today. The
group went over the whole field and
devised plans for meeting any attempts
that might be made to impair, in their
opinion, the value of the original proj
ect of a society of nations.
The supreme war council will meet
at Versailles on Friday to take meas
ures to impose on Germany "the full
will of the allies." says the Matin, be
cause of the unwillingness of Germany
to carry out the armistice terms except
under certain conditions.
There has been a change in the at
titude of Germany, according to th
newspaper, and it is being manifested
by arrogance toward the entente.
President Wilson was in consultation
today with Vittorio Orlando, the Italian
Premier, and with M. Trumbitch. the
Jugo-Slav Foreign Minister, who called
upon the President in the Paris White
House.
The indications were that an effort
was being made by the President to
mediate between the two nations for
the purpose of aiding them to reach
an agreement for the settlement of
their conflicting claims regarding Al
bania, Flume. Istria and Dalmatia.
Nineteen email belligerent nations
won definite recognition from the su
preme council of the peace conference
yesterday, which granted four addi
tional seats on the commission on the
society of nations to lesser countries.
This gives to the small powers nine
seats on the commission which will
frame the plan for the society and 10
beats to tne rive great powers.
Poland, Roumania, Czecho-Slovakla
and Greece will hald additional seats.
This concession became known 'last
night after a long session of the com
mission on the society of nations,
which President Wilson attended. The
chief point discussed was the consti
tution of the executive bodv of the
society of nations.
BEND STORM IS UNUSUAL
Thunder, Lightning and Rain Fol
low Heavy Snowfall.
BEND, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) With
the ground blanketed with snow, which
had fallen only a few minutes before, a
violent thunder storm raged here to-
nignt. Lightning flashintr at freauent
intervals on the whitened surface of
tne earth produced a weird effect. Rain
followed the electric storm, but failed
to melt away the snow. No damage
resulted from the lightning. The pecu
liar combination of weather conditions
is the first to occur in Central Oretron
in the memory of the oldest inhabitants.
The snow and rain of this afternoon
end evening brings the total precipi
tation for the last two months up to
three inches, unusually heavy for this
section, and indicating bumper crops
for the coming season.
HAIR FALLS AFTER "FLU"
Portland Women Anxious to Know
If Locks Will Grow Again.
Many Portland women are agitated
over the loss of luxurious locks of
hair, the direct result of influenza and
are at a loss to know if the hair will
return.
Physicians of Portland state that the
loss of hair by influenza patients is
caused by the high fever which accom
panies the disease, and in all other
cases of fever, the hair returns after a
short time.
Because of the lack of data in con
nection with influenza, the physicians
have io manner in which to authori
tatively assure another growth of hair
for the influenza patients who are los
ing it, and the assumption that it will
return is the only solace which is now
given for the victims.

O'LEM CONDUCTS CASE
EDITOR OP BULL- QUESTION'S
EDITORS OCHS AND HOOKER.
Attempt Blade to Show That New
York Times and Springfield Re
publicau were British Ruled.
NEW YORK. Feb. 6. Jeremiah A.
O'Leary, on trial in Federal Court here
on charges of violating the espionage
law, took the conduct of his case in
his own hands today, cross-examining
at length Adolph S. Ochs. publisher of
the New York Times; Kichard Hooker,
publisher of the Springfield Republi
can, and other witnesses summoned by
the Government.
O'Leary questioned Mr. Ochs for
nearly an hour, seeking to draw from
him an admission that his newspaper
was controlled by British influence or
money. Mr. Ocha had been summoned
by the District Attorney to refute
charges made in O'Leary's magazine,
Bull, that the Times was so controlled.
He testified that he owned 54 per cent
of its stock and that all the remainder
was owned by other Americans.
Mr. Ochs also denied a suggestion
by O'I.eary that the Times was antago
nistic to Ireland.
Mr. Hooker, who was summoned by
the Government to refute a similar
charge in Bull, categorically denied the
charge of this influence.
Edward Rlgney, a cartoonist for
merly employed by Bull, testified- that
O'Leary on one occasion had instructed
him "not to draw anything that would
reflect on the United States."
Mrs. Marguerite Kelly, former treas
urer of the American Truth Society,
testified that in 1916 she offered to
