Gustav Noske, minis ter of defense, presented his resigna tion to President Kbert this afternoon and the president accepted It. Other cabinet changes are imminent. It was announced that the independ ents today demanded a definite labor cabinet and that the government is considering the demands. BERNE, Switzerland, March 22. The whole Ebert-Bauer cabinet prob ably will resign, according to Berlin advices. The crisis has been brought about by the opposition aroused by the agreement with the trade unions, especially in the rural districts. The situation in the western indus trial regions and in upper Silesia, par ticularly Breslau. is still serious, the advices add. The country popula tions, however, are calm. PARIS. March 22. (Havas).

(By the Asso ciated Press.) -The ministry of de fense has declared that the conditions in the Ruhr district were becoming worse. The towns of Oelde. Ahlen and ' Urensteinfurt, in Westphalia, south east of Muenster, had been taken by the communists, it was stated, and the movement was spreading north and east. Pitched battles had been fought, the ministry's information showed, and two crack regiments of govern ment troops had been forced to fall back on the fortress of Wesel, on the right bank of the Rhine. 22 miles northwest of Essen, after heavy losses had! been sustained on both sides. Ten officers in one regiment were killed. Berlin Like Armed Camp. Berlin, notwithstanding the return of the Ebert government to control there, still presents pretty much the aspect of an armed camp with the food supply short and sanguinary fighting occurring at intervals in the suburbs. There is little change in the strike situation. Serious trouble occurred in the Mo abit industrial quarter Sunday night and in one conflict reported Sunday, 20 Spartacans were killed in an en gagement and 24 others who were captured were summarily executed. In the Ruhr industrial region, im mediately adjoining the allied zone of occupation, there is veritable civil warfare, with opposing armies of communist and government troops drawing up their forces in line for battle. Government detachments have been defeated in some preliminary ', skirmishes. p Lelpnie Reported Quiter. ?

HOQUAIM, Wash., March 2!. (Spe cial.) The local American Legion claims the honoi- of having the young est father and son with war service record in the whole west. They are Charles L. Gibcke of the Hoquaim fire department and Fred Gibcke, high school senior. The father is under 40 and the son only 17. When young Gibcke came home one day when the war broke out and announced that he had enlisted, his father said: "You'll have nothiiig on me, son; I'll join too." And he did. The pair served in France, sometimes together and oc casionally parted, throughout the war. Both saw real fighting for 19 months. At one time the son mourned his father's death, and a similar rumor reached the father regarding his son. The error was due to a misprint of names. The pair landed in England, were drafted to France, and thence went their way like chums. They are inseparable. The father is remark- J ably youthful looking and nobody at first sight supposes they are rattier and son. The boy's mother is dead. occupied during Sims said.

Senator Pittmann and Chairman Hale clashed sharply over the form in which the Xevada senator put some of his questions, the chairman insist ing that Senator Pittmann confine his questions to the text of Admiral Sims' direct testimony. "There need be no discourtesy here," Senator Hale said, "and we will have none." "No, I will not tolerate any," said Senator Pittmann. , "I have realized that you were going to try to break up this cross examination." Admiral Sims Interrupted to say that he welcomed the cross-examina tion, that his one desire was to bring out all the facts. Admiral Benson's statement should never have been made puDlic said Senator Pittmann, resuming the cross- examination. 'Do you mean by mar asked Ad- I miral Sims. i Breaking Confidence Denied. "By you-or anyone else," replied th senator. "It referred to a great pow er with which we were on friendly terms and it was given to you In strict confidence, so secretly that it could not even be put in writing. "It was not given to -me in confi dence, said the admiral. It was told to me in a room before other naval officers." "Yes, It was confided to you by other naval officers who, like your self, are supposed to know what to talit about and what not to talk about," replied Senator Pittmann. 'We naval officers made up our minds to one thing," said Admiral Sims, "and that was that we will never go into another war in the con dition in which we went into - this one."
