GREAT LAKES CASE CITED
Secretary Opposed Building Cp of
Strong Reserve, States Bu
reau Chief.
WASHINGTON, March 23. Captain
Leigh C. Palmer, who. as chief of the
bureau of navigation during the war,
was responsible for obtaining and dis
tributing officers and men. testified
today that a shortage of personnel
was the American "navy's initial
handicap in the war.
In his appearance before the Sen
ate committee investigating Rear
Admiral Sims' charges against the
navy department. Captain Palmer said
Secretary Daniels waa responsible for
the alleged shortage because of his
"proclamation" prior to the entry of
this country into the conflict.
Mr. Daniels consistently opposed
the building up of a strong naval re
serve force before the war, he as
serted, although naval officers had
warned the secretary that after war
was declared it would be too late to
train the men necessary. The secre
tary, however, always favored and
strongly supported recruiting for the
regular navy and after war was de
clared did everything possible to
stimulate It, the witness said. He
halted the Associated Press car for
an inspection of credentials; a Prus-
slon officer, observing a small Amer
lean flag on the radiator, exclaimed
"You are in Germany now, not in
America." He plucked the flag out.
nanaed it to the chauffeur and staiKea
angrily away.
Disorders Are GrneraL
Owing to the non-appearance of
the newspapers, the workmen in re
mote districts and even residents 01
th large towns are woefully ignor
ant f the developments since Kapp's
descent on Berlin: many are unaware
of Kapp's abdication.
Although almost every Industrial
town in Saxony has witnessed dis
turbances, there is no doubt that the
reports sent out have been grossly
exaggerated with regard to loss of
life and property damage. This is
particularly true of Halle. The stu
dents of the university there joined
the troops. The workmen were sur
rounded and corraled in a quarter
near the center of the town.
The soldiers trained mine throwers
on the buildings where the strikers
bad taken refuge, but with the excep
tion of those houses and a few others
n the line of the machine fire, the
city suffered little damage. There
were probably no more than 100 cas
ualties.
BERLIN, March 25. The new Ger
man cabinet, reconstructed as the re
suit of yesterday's negotiations, will
be headed by Gustav Bauer, the pres
ent premier, according to the Mornin

Great Lakes Case Cited.
Illustruting what he declared was a
refusal by Secretary Daniels to look
forward to the navy's tremendous
war time expansion. Captain Palmer
cited the construction of barracks at
the Great Lakes training station
After Secretary Daniels had failed to
act on his recommendation Captain
Palmer said he ordered the barracks
built on his own authority and then
told congress about it.
Captain Palmer said he could not
agree with Mr. Daniels primarily be
cause the secretary "could not see
things from the viewpoint of the
naval man."
Asked by Senator Trammel!, demo
crat, Honda, if great difficulty was
not experienced in getting young men
to enlist In the navy before the war.
Captain Palmer said:
"Yes, that is true. Secretary Daniels
was very anxious about it. He used
to say, 'Can we do anything more to
ward getting enlistments?'"
The captain explained that his state
ment applied to the secretary's atti
tude toward the enlistment of regu
lars and not reserves.
Shortage 67,000 Men.
Captain Palmer told the committee
that when war was declared the navy
was short 67,000 regular and reserve
enlisted men and about 2500 officers
from its peace time requirements and
that at least 20.000 additional enlisted
men and many more officers were
needed for destroyers as soon as war
was declared.
The witness said congress was not
to blame as it gave everything the de
partment asked for.
Captain Palmer said that requests
from Kear-Admiral Sims for ad
aitionai officers to assist him were
granted whenever possible. He did
not remember that Admiral Sims had
made any requests for additional of
fleers early in the war.
"Enlisted men were sent to Admiral
Sims as fast as we could train them.

Military Control I Mar.
The correspondent visited today
every trouble point between Leipsic
and Gotha. There exists apparently
only one issue, military control. The
workers everywhere announce as
their principal demands abolition of
martial law and the re-creation of the
civil guard composed of representa
tives of all classes to replace "Noske's
reactionary army."
In the country districts there are
still a few small bands of armed
workmen who have not been rounded
up. Such a one Btopped the Associ
ated Press automobile at Naumberg
it consisted ol about a dozen uni
formed men quartered at a wayside
Inn. Most of them were carpenters of
Naumberg and nearby towns. They
said they had heard that four of their
number had been captured by troops
and executed this morning because
they refused to give information con
cerning the whereabouts of their
comrades.
Fifteen minutes later, on entering
Naumberg, the correspondent passed
a squad of cavalry and a lorry with
machine guns, leisurely setting out
to clear up that band. Further on
he overtook several soldiers bringing
in two captive workmen whose hands
were pinioned behind their backs.
Considerable fighting has occurred
at Naumberg, where the strikers in
trenched themselves in the fortress,
from which they were dislodged only
after the garrison had been rein
forced by troops from Weimar. His
torical old Weimar itself did not es
cape the disorders. Several workmen
were killed, but there was little prop
erty damage. All is quiet there now.
The large numbers of troops at Er

General Declared Master Mind of
Recent Kapp Coup.
BERLIN. March 25. The part
played by General Ludendorff In the
events leading up to Dr. Kapp's coup
are not yet cleared, but it is variously
asserted that he was the master mind
of the plot. It is recalled that the
day after Kapp's entry in Berlin the
anti-socialistic Strasburger Zeitung,
under the caption, "Fall of the Jews
Government," openly named Luden
dorff as the leading spirit of the
revolt.
The Frankfort Zeitung, speaking of
The finely woven net spread over the
whole empire by Ludendorff. and
'Kapp is too much a civilian in ideas
and methods for Ludendorff, who has
again shown himself to be a man of
ruthlessness and frightf ulness, and it
is only due to technical incapacity
that' the disaster .did not assume
greater proportions and 'that a gen
eral massacre was avoided."
The Zeitung Am Mittag says the
plot- originated in the spring of last
year, but was twice postponed. The
leading spirts from the start were
Colonel Bauer, Ludendorff's intimate
friend, and Captain Pabst. They were
afterwards joined by Dr. Kapp and
Major-General von Luettwitz.
The plan, according to the paper,
was to provoke a military revolt last
June, when the Versailles treaty was
before the national assembly at
Weimar. Signature was to be refused
by the new government, and Voil
Luettwitz was supposed to have the
support of a majority of the officers'
corps. To avoid the appearance of a
monarchistlc plot, it was intended to
offer Gustav Noske the dictatorship,
but Noske, who foresaw failure, per
suaded Von Luettwitz to desist.
Last August Von Luettwitz believed
the time had come, but his own
friends dissuaded him,' as the under
taking was held to be too dangerous.
The present coup, the third attempt,
was prepared with the utmost secrecy.
Von Luettwitz suddenly sprung upon
President Ebert his demand for a
strengthening of the army and prep
arations for a war of revenge.
Ebert was inclined to treat the af
fair in an offhanded manner, but
Noske, who was minister of defense,
brought matters to a head by sum
marily dismissing Von Luettwitz.
When ultimately it became clear
that Dr. Kapp had not obtained the
following he nad noped for, it was
Ludendorff again, says the Zeitung
Am Mittag. who scouted surrender
and endeavored to sustain Kapp's
drooping spirits.
RED ADVANCE LOXG PLANNED
Trotzky at Gates of Berlin in July
Aim of Spartacans.
ROTTERDAM. March 25. The sr-ar-
tacan movement in the Rhine prov
inces I;as long been organized, with
the co-operation of Russian aid and
the offensive against Poland, with
the joint object that Trotzky, Russian
bolshevik minister of war, would be
at the gates of Berlin at the begin
ning of July, according to a Munster
dispatch to the Courant.
Russian red army officers, says the
correspondent, already are directing
the German spartacans. whose army is
being rapidly organized and armed on
the exact model of Trotzky's. The
revolution was originally planned, for
May 1, but the leaders believed that
the Kapp government gave them an
opportunity to hasten their plans,
which included the capture of Mun
ster and WeseL
According to the Telegraaf, the
Dutch government is taking steps to
prevent red activity.
LONDON. March 25. The Munster
Anzeiger gives further details of the
plans for a spartacan movement in
the 'Rhine provinces on May 1, ac
cording to a Rotterdam dispatch to
the London Times. It says that a con
ference attended by three Russian of
ficers decided on March 13 that the
time had. arrived to start a red mob
ilization in Germany, which had been
prepared up to the smallest details.
The workers were -to be armed and
the government . troops disarmed. An
army was to be organized on the Rus
sian plan, 100 Rjssian officers having
been distributed in the Industrial
province for the purpose. The work
ers, who had already been selected as
eligible for enlistment, were to plun
der x the munition stores and then
march on Munster. Wesel also was to
be taken snd a strong red array was
to guard the Rhine. The -programme
was carried out mere or less accord
ing to schedule. - - .

:NEW YORK, March 25. (Special.)
Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illi
nois is the first choice of the repub
licans of Missouri for the presidential
nomination, as indicated by the re
turns from, the poll of tfce county
chairmen taken by the Sun and New
Tork Herald.
For second choice Major-General
Leonard Wood is In the lead, with
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio
following the military man closely.
Indications are that both Lowden and
Harding are gaining at the expense of
Wood.
Missouri's quota of delegates to the
republican national convention is 36.
Twenty-two have been elected in con
gress conventions already held. They
are uninstructed, but reports of spe
cial correspondents say that they were
carefully picked for Lowden by ne
powers that are to be.
In the five congress districts yet to
choose delegates three will pick men
favorable to Lowden, according to
present indications. In two districts,
one of them the 5th, in which Kansas
City is located, delegates favorable to
Wood may be elected.
The four delegates-at-large will be
decided upon at a state convention to
be held in Kansas City on May
That convention will be controlled by
Lowden leaders, it is reported, an
while no instructions will be given
It is asserted that the "big four" will
be men who will vote for the Illinoi
governor when they get to Chicago.
League Paramount Issue.
It is a safe prediction," reads
special dispatch to the Sun and New
York Herald, "that 32 of U.. 36 dele
gates from Missouri will be for Low
den in the national convention.
The league of nations will be th
paramount issue in that state, accord
ng to the county chairmen. Amerl
canism, with a strong feeling lor na
tionalism as opposed to lnternatlon
alism, has a big hold on the minds of
the voters there. Aside from these is
sues the extravagance of the Wilson
administration will figure consider
ably with Missourians when they go
to the polls.
As in other states, the democratic
conditions are chaotic. This is the re
port of special correspondents, as well
as the testimony of the republican
chairmen. Champ Clark car. have the
votes of his home state if he is
candidate at San Francisco, but they
do not believe he will go to the bar
rier.
That Governor Lowden is the popu
lar candidate of Missouri republicans
was indicated by the fact that he re
ceived 71 per cent of all the "first
hoice" votes. Some leaders who re
ported that they were for Wood or
Harding or some of the others, de-
lared that the sentiment of the party
membership in their counties was for
Lowden.
Wood polled-16 per cent of the "first
choice" votes, with Harding getting
The remainder were divided be
tween General Pershing and ex-Presi-
ent Taft. One county voted for Per
shing because that was where he was
born. Otherwise the sentiment was
ivided between Lowden and Wood
Johnson Not Mentioned.
Harding received 32 per cent of the
second choice votes and Wood and
Lowden 26 per cent each. Others
mentioned were Governor Calvin
Coottdge, Taft and Senator James E.
Watson of Indiana.
Senator Hiram W. Johnson did not
receive a mention, it is as if Missouri
did not know he was running.
Missouri stands out in distinction
ith the other states on which re
ports have been published so far in
nother particular. It Is that there
was not the slightest suggestion of
Herbert Hoover having any strength.
either republican or democratic.
It is evident from the replies re
ceived that the fact of Wood's being
military man has worked against
his popularity in Missouri. One leader
ent so far as to say that not the
slightest bit of Wood sentiment ex
isted in his county.
The democrats are talking some of
the possibility of making Governor
Fred D. Gardner a favorite son in
case Champ Clark does not care for
the honor. Some sentiment exists for
William G. McAdoo and a very-little
for Wilson. Attorney-General A.
Mitchell Palmer has a few supporters,
but other possibilities do not seem to
have any sentiment In their favor, ac
cording to the republican reports.
Some of these waxed facetious. Two
evidently had the same thing in mind,
that democrats were going to leave
their party and vote the republican
ticket this year. One asserted that
Lowden was the choice of the demo
crats in his county and another en
tered Wood for the same honor. Will
iam Jennings Bryan was not men
tioned seriously by a single leader,
but one wrote in "Prohibition BilL"
Democrats "Just Waiting."
As in other states, the anti-prohi
bitionists are talking lot about
Governor Edward L Edwards of New
Jersey.
"A supine readiness to take dicta
tion from the ultimate source in the
party" was the expression of one
chairman on the democrats.
"Just waiting" and "At sea without
a leader" were other characteriza
tions of the democrats.
This is the way one of the connty
chairmen phrased the Issues: "True
Americanism, tarnished as little aa
possible with internationalism: Amer
ica for Americans, protective tariff,
abolition of pork barrel."
"America above all other nations,"
wrote another. "Charity begins at
home; abroad second."
"The constitution of the United
States," declared one leader, while
two different chairmen summed up
the issues in the phrase, "Wilson ad
ministration." High cost of living and labor do
not seem to be troubling Missourians
at all. Slight mention of either was
made.
The democrats will elect their 36
delegates to the San Francisco con
vention all in a bunch at a conven
tion in Joplin on April 22.
The question of whether umtec
States Senator James A. Reed, oppo
nent of the league of nations and the
Wilson policies, shall be elected as a
delegate to the national convention,"
says a special dispatch, "is attracting
more attention than the candidates
of all the presidential aspirants to
gether." Interest in the race between
Edward F. Goltra and James C. Jones,
both of St Louis, for democratic na
tional committeeman, also over
shadows any suggestion of presiden
tial possibilities. Jones is running on
a platform demanding the repudiation
of Senator Reed.
No attempt will be made at Joplin
to get instructions for Champ Clark
or any other candidate, according to
the prevailing sentiment The lead
ers want to take the delegation to
San Francisco unfettered, .so that It
may be swung according to conditions
as they exist at that time.

BOSTON, March 25. The crusade
of Attorney-General Allen against
promoters and brokers who have been
exploiting silver stock led to the ar
rest of Thomas W. Lawson today. He
surrendered himself at police head
quarters to answer to a warrant
charging him with violating on four
counts a state law regarding the fil
ing of information regarding stock
issues. Four other operators and
brokers were arrested yesterday.
Lawson and his secretary, Van
Riper, who was among those arrested,
in recent months have been active in
the promotion of silver stocks, which
in the Lawson advertising was fea
tured as "silvers, the great gamble of
the age."
Each announced he was developing'
certain individual silver mine proper
ties as units of general holding com
panies.
In the campaigns the prices of in
dividual stocks advanced from a few
cents to $8 or $9 with subsequent
reversals and fluctuations. After news
of the arrests yesterday these prices
tumbled further.
It was the fact that securities were
offered so cheaply, the attorney-general
said, that they attracted to them
persons without investing experience,
who sacrificed liberty bonds and sav
ings accounts to purchase stock in
hopes of early riches.
Lawson, whose stock operations
have attracted national attention in
the last quarter century, called at po
lice headkquarters this morning to
submit to arrest, gave his occupa
tion as farmer and author and walked
through a noisy crowd to the court
house, where he was arraigned and
held for a hearing April . He fur
nished bonds of $2500.
