'i Seamen Resent Tightening of
Discipline by Trotzky.

STOCKHOLM, March 27. (By the
. Associated t-ress). ine aeians or me
v revolt in Kronstadt against the bol-
', shevikl administration and the cir-
cumstances forming: a background
. Against this episode have been learn-
ed by the correspondent from well-in-"2,
formed sources.
Ever since the bolshevik revolution,
Kronstadt had a tendency to develop
Into a dependent soviet republic witb
" Jo the larcer Russian republic. Undct
czarism, discipline in the navy was
(stricter than in the army but since
- the revolution lack of discipline
among the tailors has been hard to
2 check.
In Kronstadt the sailors lived in
fjeffieers' private villas and idled in of-
fleers' clubs, avoiding all drills and
enjoying a paradise as long as they
7 Were supplied with food and clothes
,'Jfrom Petrograd. The government in
m Moscow did not interfere, arguing it
aji better to have the sailors for
it than against it.
Trolxky Strong for Navy
General De.niklne, Admiral Kolchak,
r General l'udenitch and General Wran-
tt'l. the anti-bolshevik leaders, had
to be fought on land and it was
necessary to establish a bolshevik
" rmy, but not a navy. Yet Trotzky
rover forgot he had been in the Rum
elan nary and he only awaited the
opportunity to make the Russian navy
as etronfT and eupple a weapon as
m he had made the army.
Trotzky started its reorganization
1 directly as the Yudenitch venture was
" ended. It was from those days that
Z the conflict between Trotzky and the
sailora date. The sailors hated dls
J cipline, loved their freedom of action
and the privilege of attending the
" amusement places in Petrograd.
Food Supplies Reduced.
w Finally Trotzky nployed a ready
weapon he reduced the food sup-
plies. The sailors thereupon requisi-
Uoncd foodstuffs outside Petrograd,
which caused disturbances which re
celved the color of a counter-revolu-
'J tion. The sailors were declared to
n have had no idea of overturning the
i Moscow administration, but only
wanted to be masters on their island.
The tension, meanwhile, was grow-
- log and became still more severe
when Trotzky at the end of February
v. cut food supplies to a minimum. The
answer of the sailors was to destroy
A the railway leading from Petrograd
.'- to Moscow and to march over the ice
toward Oranienbaum. This moment
. was seized upon by antl - bolshevik
elements and serious uprisings were
arranged in Petrograd. Simultaneous
ly ly rations were reduced to a mini-
j mum in Petrograd and elsewhere.
. Waiting; Attitude Adopted.
The so-called "intelligent" element
V- adopted a waiting attitude during
these events. It did not care to Join
the so-called counter-revolutionaries,
." fearing that if Lenine were over
ly turned it would mean complete
anarchy. The peasants are mainly
'", against the soviet administration, but
are suspicious of any new movement
S' which they are not sure at first hand
'- will protect their interests..
: It was easy for Trotzky to crush
the risings in the country. He had.
however, first of all, to crush Kron-
tadt. for which the third army, and
not the seventh, as bad erroneously
J, been reported, was sent against the
- fortress. How the offensive devel-
oped is renerally known. Trotzky's,
first attack was a failure, but he
'adopted other methods. He allowed
" part of his troops to run over to the
enemy and when night time came
T launched his main attack, during
-which the defendors were attacked
from behind by the sham deserters.

THE OREGOMAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, March 27. L. E.
Warford of Albany, Or., called at the
White House yesterday and urged
President Harding to visit Eugene
during the Oregon state convention
of the American Legion. An invita
tion previously was extended to the
president by the Eugene chamber of
commerce and the Lane county post
of the American Legion.
Mr. Warford expressed confidence
that the president would go to Eu
gene if nothing happened to prevent
a proposed summer trip of President
Harding to the Pacific coast.

"Great Britain has again taken up

"Through an agreement or under

competition, we can reduce taxes,
restore faith in the government at

abroad."
Representative Frear of Wisconsin
said that the last administration had
submitted amazing" peace-time na
val estimates, and that the navy ap
propriation bill as reported to the
senate would have levied on every
American family. -
War Propaganda Expected
"Protection for America." he said,
"is a captivating slogan following the
war. Behind all movement for a
larger navy. Investigations disclose
that powerful influences are strongly
entrenched whose Interests and indus

By a similar coincidence we may rea
sonably expect, until the naval bill
passes congress, sensational headlines
and editorials advising congress and
the country that Japan is planning to
capture Hawaii and the Philippines
and everything in the Pacific from
the Bering sea to the kingdom of Yap
and the Cannibal islands.

NEWCASTLE, Pa., March 27. (Spe

of a clown with a mask on his face
and brandishing a revolver, a man
entered the home of Mrs. Clara De
fonso of 216 Rabbltt street, seventh
ward, last night, and ordered her to
put her hands up. She complied.
Benny Capriglione, who had not
been noticed in the room, jumped for
the masqueraded man with the gun
and seized the arm that held the
weapon. The pair struggled for pos
session of the. weapon. Mrs. Defonso
went into another room and obtained
a gun. then came back and shot and
killed the masqueraded man. She then
telephoned the police and gave her
self up. It was discovered that the
masqueraded man was Albert Huish,
aged 42, a married man with four
children, of this city.
Police have as yet been unable to
clear up the mystery as it was found
that the gun carried by the masque
rading man was not loaded. Whether
he was attempting a practical joke
or whether he was intent upon rob

REDS AGAIN IN ORIENT
Poles and British Are Said to Have
Given Official Consecration
to Bolshevism.
BT ANDRE TARDIEU.
Ex-head of the French high commission
and delegate to the peace conference
at Paris. Copyright, 11)21, by The Ore
gooi&n. PARIS, March 27. (Special Cable.)
The past week has not furnished
any of the guarantees of that political
order in Europe which the combined
Interests of the old and new world
require.
In the Orient every happening has
been to the aovantage of that center
of agitation called the soviet government.-
During the peace conference Presi
dent Wilson aaid one day:
"It would be easier to sweep back
a flood with a broom than to con
quer bolslievism by force."
Even If that were true, there is no
reason . now to give to bolshevism
the consecration of official recogni
tion. But such recognition has been
given, first in the Polish treaty and,
second, in the1 Anglo-Russian com
mercial agreement. The ex-secretary
of state in America, Baiiibridge Colby,
in a note last summer, powerfully
demonstrated that treaties of agree
ment with a regime which considers
it a duty to deceive bourgeoise gov
ernments, are nothing more than a
delusion.
Freoch Against Pact.
The immense majority of French
opinion agrees with that point of
view. The English are the victims of
an Illusion, from which the whole
world will suffer.
Germany, the second cause of trou
ble in Europe, continues by her acts
to show, that her old spirit is un
changed. Her attitude toward the
upper Silesian plebiscite is new prooi
of the statement. The Versailles
treaty provided that an inter-allied
commission should fix the Silesian
boundary according to the results of
the plebiscite.
Despite violent pressure by German
organizations, despite the unjustifi
able concession to Germany by the
London conference authorizing 190,000
German emigrants who happened to
be born in Upper Silesia to return
there to vote in a block, although
without any interest in the province,
the result showed that a large part
of Upper Silesia wants to belong to
Poland.
Indivisibility Is Proclaimed. .
Immediately, the German press
shouts that Upper Silesia is indivis
ible, which is obviously contrary to
the treaty which Germany signed.
The great powers will have the last
word in the matter provided they
stand firm. But Germany's effort to
intimidate them is noteworthy.
The attitude of the Berlin govern
ment toward reparations is no less
significant. The so-called sanctions
decided upon at London do not seem
to bother Germany in the least The
customs lines with which the Rhine
land is surrounded are perhaps incon
venient for the Rhinelanders, but not
for the remainder of the empire,
whose other frontiers remain open.
The 50 per cent to be collected on
all German imports into allied coun
tries will not be made effective until
a distant date. As for the occupation
of Dusseldorf, Duesberg and Ruhrort,
it does not hamper the freedom of the
exportation of coal and so fails to
constitute a means of pressure.
German Realataace PoMlble.
It is easily comprehensible under
such conditions Germany will con
tinue to resist and maintain her re
fusal to pay. All expressions of Ger
man opinion confirm this probability.
Nevertheless, it is apparent that Ger
many's resources constantly are in
creasing. The late Lord Cunliffe,
governor of the Bank of England and
a member of the British peace dele
gation, always said:
"Germany will recover much
quicker than people think."
The American economic delegates,
Messrs. Baruch and Davis, held the
same opinion. As matter of fact,
between April, 1920, and January,
1921, Germany collected without ef
fort 83.000,000,000 of marks in taxes,
including the relatively insignificant
sum of 8.000.000,000 in direct taxes.
Germany offers as proof of her pov
erty a railroad deficit of 16,000,000,000
marks, but official figures show that
in the current year this deficit will
be only 6.000,000,000. Moreover, the
German export tat yielded 2,000,000,
000 in ten months, and is increasing
constantly. German factories are
working and capital is plentiful.
Ability to Pay Asserted.
Thus, virtually untouched herself,
Germany can, if she wishes, pay for
what she destroyed, but she persists
in not wishing to do so. Dr. Simons,
the German foreign minister, declared
In a recent speech:
"To repudiate the obligations of the
Versailles treaty, force is necessary."
This formula merits reflection, for
if the conquerors in the recent war
who were devastated by Germany de
sire to collect reparation, they must
do so before Germany deems herself
strong enough to refuse.
Lloyd George, the British prime
minister, said to me once:
"When I decided that Germany must
pay to the uttermost limit of her re
sources, I did not mean that we Bhould
allow her to be the sole judge of
that limit."
The time has come for the allies to
translate this formula into acts. The
conference of experts at Brussels last
December unanimously agreed that
Germany, notably by increasing her
Indirect taxation, could place herself
in a position to pay the annuities the
treaty of Versailles requires. As it
is now obvious she will not do so
voluntarily, the . allies must compel
her by using more effective measures
than those adopted recently at Lon
don. Otherwise political and economic
disorder will continue to blight Eu
rope and the United States necessar
ily will suffer a large share of the
consequences. -

vacations to the people in June. That
is Mr. Barbur's attitude, too, he said
yesterday. Like. C. A. Bigelow, com
missioner of public affairs, Mr. Bar
bur is opposed, at present, to the
council's acting under the provisions
of the Kubli bill,' passed by the last
legislature, and which authorizes the
council to vacate streets.
Street Vacation Not Favored.
"I do not, at present, favor the va
cation of city streets by the council,"
said Mr. Barbur yesterday. "Of
course. I have no means of knowing
just what the railroads want, as they
have not confided in the members of
the council. Neither have they sub
mitted anything to us as yet. but as
a general rule I do not favor vacating
streets without a vote of the people.
The streets belong to the people, the
people once voted a charter amend
ment prohibiting the . council from
granting vacations, and I certainly
Bee no reason why we should over
ride our charter.
"Another point is that, should we
follow the suggestion of the legisla
ture in this matter, there is no rea
son why the legislature cannot at ita
pleasure, tell us some other things
to do. In other words, when the peo
ple of Portland voted for the present
charter they supposed they were go
ing to have, home rule, and I take it
that that is what they want. As far
as vacating streets for this terminal
project Is concerned, I realize it is
very important matter. I also real
ize that times change, and that w
must meet the needs of our large and
growing city in a businesslike way.
As far as the terminal proposition
goes, it resolves itself into a question
of how best to provide modern facili
ties for speeding up traffic and dis
tribution of products, and it must be
so considered.
Uaate by Railroads Urged.
"Personally. I think Mayor Baker
made an excellent suggestion to the
railroad officials when he expressed
the wish that, if they want quick ac
tion, they submit their plans to the
council right away the sooner the
better. I shall go on the theory tnat
these streets belong to the people and
that it . is uo to the people to say
whether they shall .be vacated for
whatever nurnose thev are sought.
The street vacations are the vital
point in plans for Portlands union
freia-ht and passenger terminal proj
ect President Gray has said that the
railroads concerned will be able to
start within two months, if the vaca
tions are granted, but that they can
do nothing until this feature is cer
tain. The railroads concerned are
the Union Pacific. Southern Pacific,
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle. The
first unit of the project will be ine
freieht yards on Guild's lake. This
will relieve the congestion at the
passenger station, now used jointly
by these linej.
5 FID FOR MICE
CHICAGO DETKCTIVES SAID TO
HAVE DESERTED COMRADE.
Witnesses Say Sleuth Wounded by
Gunman Was Left Unaided for
More Than 15 Minutes.
CHICAGO, March 27. Five officers
were suspended from the detective
force last nignt after witnesses had
accused them of hiding behind tele
phone poles and refusing to answer
the dying cries of their comrade,
Detective-Sergeant Patrick O'Neill,
who was shot fatally Wednesday
while trying to arrest "Tommy"
O'Connor, an alleged gunman, who is
charged with slaying at least three
men.
While the search for O'Connor was
being extended today to all parts of
the country, Charles Fitzmorris,
chief of police, concluded his inquiry
into the events leading up to the
death of O'Neill. According to wit
nesses, the officers from the bureau
surrounded the house in . which
O'Connor was supposed to be hiding.
Neighbors told of being aroused by
several shots and of finding five of
the detectives hiding behind telephone
poles. "Paddy (O'Neill) has been
shot." one of them was quoted as
saying, "and we are afraid to go
into the backyard until reinforce
ments arrive."
Meanwhile, according to witnesses,
the dying officer was heard to cry
"Joe" three times. Joe Ronan, detective-sergeant
and O'Neill's partner,
heard the cries and began to weep,
but no one went to the assistance
of the wounded man, witnesses said,
until the arrival of a police wagon
full of gray-haired patrolmen who
had been held in reserve at the
station.
"You had better not go back there
or you will get shot," witnesses said
one of the five detective bureau men
told the older patrolmen.
"What do you think we came here
for?" was the retort. "We came to
get O'Neill and we are going to get
him," and the gray-haired patrol
men led the way to the - wounded
man, who was then unconscious. He
died on the way to the hospital. .
According to the testimony, O'Neill
lay for more than 15 minutes with
out any effort being made to aid
him after he was shot and there was
no attempt to pursue the slayer.

DfJFTTR, Or., March 27. (Special.)
Easter services were held at the local
Christian church this afternoon for
The Dalles commandery of Knights
Templar, about 100 members of the

sermon was delivered by Rev. H. L.
Ford, pastor of the church. After the
service a banquet was served in the
local Masonic lodge dining room to
the members of the order as well as
several invited guests.
The day was an ideal one for the

REVOLT IS LAID TO SOVIET
Establishment of Moscow Branch
in Germany Declared Aim.
BERLIN, March 27. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Communist outbreaks
in the German industrial centers and
the attempt by the German bolshe
vlsts to provoke a general strike
were viewed today by the government
as a symptom of a systematic plot.
the inspiration of which is traceable
to Moscow, and whose single purpose
is the establishment of a German so
viet republic, a government, spokes
man declared today.
As evidence that the government
could adduce proof to support its de
clared convictions, Herr Severing,
Prussian minister of the interior.
said:
"We base our belief on unimpeach
able circumstantial evidence, and
alsd point to the utterances of ac
credited communistic leaders .who
designate the present period, when
Germany is tried with problems
growing out of the entente's inva
sion in the west and the Upper Sile
sian situation, as the most opportune
moment for a revolt.
"The German communist party
takes its orders from Moscow."
Rioting in the Saxon province, he
added, was also productive of tangi
ble evidence of the complicity of so
viet agents. He said be strongly sus
pected, however, that the cue for the
present insurrection miscarried.
"The impending collapse of the
coup and the fact that it is lapsing
into outlawry," he continued, "must
prove inopportunely embarrassing to
the Moscow government, which is
seeking re-establishment of relations
with the United States, England and
other countries at the moment that
accredited emissaries of sovietism are
attempting to establish bolshevism in
Germany with the aid of pillage, de
struction and arson."
Herr Severing, who is the majority
socialist member of the Prussian cab
inet, expressed confidence of having
the central German situation in hand
by Wednesday. He conceded that the
Prussian security police were poorly
equipped to subdue an armed rebellion
like that in the Mansfeld district.
"In Einsleben," he said, "our forces
captured three heavy machine guns
from the communists, whose equip
ment is often superior to ours."
COMMUNISTS TAKE FLIGHT
German Authorities Control Most
Troubled Saxon Cities.
HALLE, March 27. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Battalions of "green
police" today were in control in a ma
jority of the troubled Saxon cities,
from which most of the male popula
tion had fled either in fear of arrest
or in an effort to join their fugitive
comrades to reorganize for another
attack, which in some quarters was
considered probable Tuesday.
Police authorities, .however, be
lieved that the movement had been
checked. Sporadic uprisings contin
ued here and in Eisleben. Mansfeld,
Hettstedt and other important mining
and manufacturing centers.
Count Poninski, colonel of police in
the Mansfeld district, said today:
"The situation is in hand; the up
rising has virtually been suppressed."
As he talked he was surrounded by
officers and studying a map. The
correspondent had just come from
Mansfeld. which he entered with sev
eral hundred police, all. equipped
with rifles, revolvers and hand gren
ades, and followed by field kitchens
and array trucks carrying machine
guns.
Prisoners taken at Hettstedt
marched with hands upraised through
the villages between companies of
police. When Mansfeld was reached
ragged, unkempt communists were
ordered to stand facing the wall of
the city hall. Fifteen stood there

PAIN RESTORES SPEECH
Pulling of Tooth Shocks Dumb Man
Into Articulation.
BALTIMORE. Md.. March 27.
(Special.) Four years ago when his
son was drafted for the world war,
Benjamin Zion Kramer. 207 East
Pratt street, was so grief-stricken
that he lost the power of speech.
Today Kramer had two teeth ex
tracted by a dentist and the shock
restored his power of speech.
"Good luck," cried Kramer as he
leaped from the dentist's chair.
They were the first words he had
uttered in four years. Kramer's re

cured in the office of Dr. S. L. Quitt,
131 South Broadway.
Kramer went to the office and with
pad and pencil made it known to Dr.
Quitt that he was speechless and
that be wished to have two aching
teeth removed. He Indicated two
front lower teeth. Dr. Quitt pro
ceeded to extract the teeth. To his
amazement, after the teeth had been
pulled, Kramer suddenly spoke.
"Good luck." he said, and after a
lapse of .-. moment uttered "Good
bye" as he left the office.
Dr. Quitt said the case was the
most remarkable he had ever ex
perienced. The pulling of the teeth,
he said, must have shocked a nerve
which caused Kramer to speak again,
something less than 20 miles. Engi-
