The communistic reign of terror con

dustrial region. Warlike reports from
many strike centers are beginning to
reach the third army headquarters as
the general strike gains in momentum
and magnitude. One-third of miners
throughout fhe region are striking.
All reVorts apparently agree that the
determined Spartaclst 'minority among
them, armed to the teeth."i terrorizing
millions of the industrial population
and seeking to achieve the complete
downfall of thetold economic order so
as to establish a communistic republic
on the wreckage of Germany's iron,
steel and coal industries.
In Dusseldorff the communistic ex
ecutive council decreed that employers
be, compelled to pay full wages to all
strikes for the number of days they
strike, thus forcing the employers
themselves to put a premium on strik
Ing. Communists, it is known, are al
ready operating the ammunition fac
tories. The thoroughness of their or
ganization Is indicated by the fact that
the wives and families of the strikers
who are actually fighting against the
government's troops, get the full
orthodox war allowance for their sup
port.
The Spartacists advancing from
Dusseldorrf. are entrenched strongly on
Ihe outskirts of Duiesburg, 15 miles
north, and have interrupted railroad
traffic bv tearing up the rails, so
handicapping the bringing up of government-
forces. In Hamborn a gen
eral strike was proclaimed "for car
rying through a new revolution with
the goal of proclamation of a dictator
ship of labor and the formation of
free social republic on a communistic
basis."
The strikers there were exhorted by
their leaders not to employ sabotage
or only as a last resort. It is an
nounced that a central strike com

been organized at Muelheim-on-the-Kuhr,
and typically, machine guns have
been posted in front of the city hall
and miners seeking to resume work are
dispersed by the Spartacists.

who voted to resume work are held

COPENHAGEN. Feb. 21. Kurt Eis

and killed today by Lieutenant Count

from the foreign ministry in Munich
to the diet, says a Munich dispatch.
The shooting occurred In the Pranner

deposition of the royal family early in
November. w,s a socialist of the more
radical type, and recent reports from
Munich have been that he was heading

The Arcovalley family has been
prominent in Bavaria and Germany for

died in Rio Janeiro in 1909 while Ger

Eisner was not a delegate to the
German national assembly, having been
defeated by an overwhelming vote in
the elections.
-.WASHINGTON", Feb. 21. John Reed,
a writer, who described himself as a
revolutionary socialist," told the sen
ate committee investigating lawless
agitation today that he believed the
bolshevik regime in Kussia was doing
"great work, and that he was a firm
advocate of a revolution in the United
States. He followed his wife, Louise
Bryant, on the stand, and. like her,
denied stories of atrocities, related by
previous witnesses.
On cross-examination Reed could not
recall that he had said last Sunday in
speech at Tonkers, N. T., that "three
million rifles are in the hands of
3,000,000 Russian workmen, and soon
3.000,000 rifles wotald be In the hands
of American workmen to do the same
thing that is being done in Russia."
Memory Appears Faulty.
Reed also said he "couldn't imagine"
himself stating in another speech in
New York that he had started the bol
shevist movement and soon expected
that there would be "something doing"
n New York, Baltimore, Albany, Syra
cuse, Boston and other cities of the
east.
Reed, who spent some time in Russia,
freely admitted that he was employed
iv the International revolution propa
ganda bureau of the bolshevlst ministry
of foreign affairs in Petrograd, and
told the committee that he expected to
start an "information bureau in New
York soon. He said he had discussed
the matter with some persons there
and added:
Af A TC D U H 1 IC C niCC in- are some weaiuiy women in
W A I tnMUUot Ulto: New York who have nothing else to do
with their money."
Senator Johixon Rapped.
The witness said he did not speak at
the meeting In Washington which was
largely responsible for the present in
vestigation because he "was considered
too disreputable, having been indicted
for saying things that Senator John
son had since said in the Senate.'
In a long discussion with Senator
Wolcott of Delaware regarding his be
liefs In respect to law. Reed declared
that the will of the people would be
done, if not by peaceful means, then
by force.
"Unfortunately," he said, "profound

a belief that there would be a row in
Portland when the news reached there.
Senator Moser explained that Messrs

and the thing to do was to get rid of
them. - Captain Hosford, a member of
the Multnomah delegation, is hostile
over the bill and charges that the best
men on the commission are being
thrown out. Yesterday Moser explained
thatthe bill was intended to get rid
of democrats on the commission, but a

STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 21.
(Speoial.) Chairman Gordon of the
house ways and means committee this
afternoon called up the bill providing
funds for taking care of Oregon sol
diers in New York, secured suspension
of the rules and put it over with
unanimous vote.
The bill carries an appropriation of
J5000, which will be taken out of the
$100,000 soldiers' and sailors' relief fund
already appropriated by the legislature.
Along with it will go $2500 of the box
ing trust fund held by Mayor Baker in
Portland. t
.-"Mayor Baker assured me over the
phone today that $2500 of the trust
fund will be added to our appropria
tion." said Mr. Gordon. "We have tak
en every precaution to throw safe
guards around the expenditure of the
fund and see that every dollar of it
goes to aid the returned soldiers.
"The governor will name a commit
tee'of Oregon New Yorkers who will
have charge of disbursement of the
fund, without expense to the state."
Mr. Gordon is personally taking up
the matter with members of the senate
to secure early passage of the bill on
the other side of the capitol, as it is
understood speed will be needed if the
money accomplishes the object for
which it is intended.
Word reached members of the ways
and means committee that there is
great need for state funds, that Ore
gon is the only state not making such
provision, and that Oregon boys are in
hospitals without a hand from home
to help them and are arriving in many
instances unwelcomed by any one from
their state.
The bill carries an emergency clause
so the money will be available ad soon
as jt passes the senate and receives the
approval of the governor.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 21.
(Special.) Universal military train
ing- in the high schools and colleges of
Oregron is made compulsory under the
terms of a bill bv Senator Hurley of
Malheur county, which passed the sen
ate this afternoon by avote of 16 to 14.
In defending his bill against the ver
bal attacks of the two democratic lead
ers, Senators Pierce and Strayer, Sen
ator Hurley asserted it was natural
that the two democratic solons would
oppose militajy training, inasmuch as
a few short years ago they were firm
believers in the democratic by-words.
"He kept us out of war" and "Peace at
any price."
RooMevelt'a Warning Recalled.
Senators' Ritner and Thomas spoke
for the bill and urged that the young
men of Oregon be given an opportunity
to fit themselves for service should the '
occasion again arise when this country
would be called upon to take up arms.
"Had the people of this country
heeded the words of Theodore Roose
velt back in 1914, when he stood alone
urging us to prepare for war, 60,000 of
our American boys would now not be
sleeping forever under the soil of
France," said Senator Ritner, who but
recently returned from the war zone,
where he went as a Red Cross official.
Leader to Head Committee.
Senator Hurley admitted that Colo
nel Leader, who for the past year has
been in charge of the officers training
camp at the university of Oregon, will
continue in that capacity and will also
systematize the military training in
the, high schools if the bill becomes a
law. Assurance has been given that
Colonel -Leader will be appointed a
member of the military training: com
mission by the board of regents of the
university of Oregon.
The state superintendent of public
instruction shall be chairman of the'
commission, and the board of regents of
the agricultural college will appoint
the other member.
Pierce Attack Measure. '
Senator Pierce attacked -the bill,
mainly because Colonel Leader is to
have charga of fhe military work. He
also demanded that the officers train
ing jamp, which the bill provides shall
be located at Eugene, be changed to
Corvallis. Senator Pierce is a member
of the board of regents of the agricul
tural college. ,
The vote on the bill follows:
Aye Bell, Eberhard, Eddy. Handley
Howell, Huston, Hurley, Jones, Moser
Norblad, Orton. Ritner, Sljanks, Smith
of Josephine, Thomas, Vintorr.
No Baldwin, Banks, Dimick, Farrell.
Gill, Lachmund, Lafollett, Nickelsen,
Patterson, Pierce, Smith of Coos and
-Curry, Strayer and Wood.
Equipment Is Assured.
The bill specifics that military train
ing shall be adopted in the high schools
of the state at the opening of the new
school year next fall. Exemptions to
individual pupils who are physically
unfitted for the work may be granted
and certain high schools which might
not be able to" carry on the work prop
erly also can be exempted. Each male
pupil must have at least three hours'
training each week.
Senator Hurley informed the senate '
that United States Senators McNary and
Chamberlain have given assurances that
guns and other equipment sufficient to
outfit every high school in Oregon will
be supplied by the federal government.
