Mr. Wilson merely had a bad cold. He
warned them, however, that the utmost
care must be exercised to prevent it
from getting worse.

NEW TORK, April-4. Baron Roman
Rosen, formerly Russian ambassador
to the United States, who arrived yes

fled from Petrograd to escape threat

the Russo-Japanese war in 1905. said
the first day of his "self-imposed, but
happy exile in the United States" had
been marred by a report that he had
brought with him from Russia a fortune
of between 300,000 and 400,000 rubles.

added that he was no longer a wealthy

Baron Rosen said he refused to loss

that in time the world would see "the
triumph of truth and Justice." He de

BERLIN, April 3. (Via Copenhagen,
April 4.) The spartacans have begun
their greatest offensive against the
forces of law and order. This month
should see the death grapple, the fight
to a finish, between the socialistic demo
crats and the communistic bolshevlsts
n Germany. Five distinct sparticist
trouble centers give anxiety to the
weakening government.
The most active and the principal
heater of war today is the Rheinish-
Westphalian region. The spiritual leader
and chief strategist of the coal strike
here is a Russian bolshevlst. Dr. Ka
ra k I, who Is economic counsellor to the
so-called commission of nine which is
irecting the strike from headquarters
t Essen.
Dr. Karakl is injecting all the latest
ovelties in Russian bolshevlst tactics
nto the new movement. The strike is
urely political. Its goal being to com
pass the fall of the present government
and to establish a bolshevlst strike en
ginccred by spartactsts. It is believed
that the majority of the miners are op
posed to the strike, but they have been
terrorised into striking by the armed
spartaclst minority. The first day saw
55 mines at a standstill and 50,000
strikers out.
Gevernmeat's Test Coming.
The decisive question today is, can the
government s solitary strong man, the
war minister, localize the conflict and
prevent the new movement from spread.
ing and causing wide conflagration?
The Ebert government Is acting with a
show of energy. It has issued the usual
proclamation to the strikers, proclaiming
martial law. and is rushing the still loyal
white guards into the strike region.
The government's one stragetic novelty
is the threat that no imported food will
be given to the strikers but those who
do not strike will receive extra rations.
The harassed government is handi
capped in the task of restoring law and
order in the Rheinish-Westphalian thea
ter by a simultaneous- outbreak and
hunger revolt in Frankfort, where
deeds of violence are reported the mur
der of three civilians, the lynching of a
sailor whose body was thrown Into the
river Main, the burning of a prison,
after the prisoners were released and
the storming of many food shops and a
hotel, the Frankfurter Hof, by a fan
ished mob.
Stuttgart Trouble Center.
An even more serious trouble center
is Stuttgart, where a political and
general strike concretely aim- to bring
about new elections by the soldiers
ant. workers' councils on a revolution
ary basis. Stuttgart is now cut off from
telegraph and telephone communica
tion, according to the World corre
spondent's private information. This in
dicates that Bavaria- will be heard from
soon and that a fresh outburst of bol
shevik terror Is breaking there.
Berlin still is quiet. The government
has saved the situation temporarily.
but only by showing weakness and
backing down by ordering the release
from Jail of Ernest Raumig in the face
of an ultimatum served on the govern
ment by the executive committee of the
workers councils. Encouraged by tnis
success, the spartactsts ana tne inde
pendent socialist allies are certain to

"I have seen the scourge of war

do not intend that there shall be a third
time and should it be 50 years hence
France again will find England by her
side with all her wealth and power,
for, mark well my words, the wild beast
