COBLENZ, Feb. 28. (Special Cable.) The co-ordination here of alarming reports from all parts, of Germany In dicates that the first Btage of the nation-wide Sparta can counter-revolution Its first line aim is to seize po litical power for the purpose of ulti mately realizing the communistic ideal of ruthless and complete socialization. The Cologne Gazette says the strike leaders are leading the masses with them by the, employment of un scrupulous terrorism. Coblenz learns that the situation In Munich Is of the utmost seriousness. The . communists not only have possession of all the pub lic buildings there, but of the- bank-note engraving plant, so they have plenty of paper money at their disposal. The communists, it is reported, are holding not only Munich, but Ausrs berg and Nuremberg, while in the prov inces the 2d and 3d Bavarian army corps refuse to recognize the soviet government, thus opening un limited possibilities of civil war. Strike Reports Alarm. Conditions in Bavaria will be even more serious if a general strike breaks out in central Germany. This would be of a decisive character If not quelled by the government. Coblenz is alaramed by reports that Weimar is completely isolated by strike areas and that the Spartacans are con tinuing to destroy rail communication with Berlin. The Cologne Gazette learns the situation In Berlin Is tense and that a general strike with bloody consequence must be reckoned with. A general strike is also reported to have broken out again in Hamburg and Osnabreuck, in Hanover. Even in Wurtemburg, heretofore well ordered, the Spartacans threaten to rise with the possibility of a sanguinary civil war. as the Wurtem burg government has announced Its determination to suppress ruthlessly any uprising. Strike Starts In Saxony. A general strike has begun in Sax ony. Leipzig is without light and gas. A strike is also reported to have started In Erfurt, -although the storm center of central Germany apparently is Halle. Suggestive report reaches Coblenz from Bottroy that railroad travelers there are forcibly compelled to Join the Spartacans league "member ship," involving the payment of two marks before they are permittted to continue their journey. Equally suggestive is the report that three Spartacan leaders of Oberhausen were seen last fleeing in an automobile for Holland with $1800. Th'e Coblenz Catholic newspaper organ .characterizes the situation in Germany as one of "bloody morality."

Another heading of the financial re port concerns the method of establish ing international exchange which has been seriously deranged by war con ditions, the issuance of paper cur rency and other measures.' Another heading is the possibility of interna tional allied loans from neutral states, as it is understood that neutrals have large stocks of money which may assist in the readjustment of world finances. The articles concerning enemy finan cial interest in backward communities covers such countries as Morocco, Tur key arfd China, and what should be dons with the German-Bagdad railway and German concessions in Shantung and other parts of China. Most of the foregoing subjects are being considered with a. view to per manent conditions after the war. al though the requirements concerning the war and prewar debts of the en emy may figure in the peace treaty. PRESIDENT COJLPLETE3 S Arrangements Made for Wilson' Re turn to Peace Conference, PARIS, March. 1. (By the Associated Press.) As a result of an exchange of cable massages today between Presi dent Wilson and the American dele gation plans were completed for the presidents return to Paris and for the early assembling thereafter of the peace congress, with German delegates fpresent. President Wilson at first planned to have the George Washington land him ats Antwerp, then to visit Brussels and the devastated regions of Bel gium and France, and from there pro ceed to Pari a He desired to accom plish this in the understanding that Premier Lloyd George would be in Paris. E. M. House. In a talk by telephone with Mr. Lloyd George at London, elicited the fact that the premier would be obliged to return to London try March 22. Accordingly, the presi dent's plan was given up. He will land at Brest on March 12 or 14 and come direct to Paris. The British prime minister will reach Paris about the same time and with the others of the council of the great powers they will take up the prelim inary peace treaty, which will then be ready. It is expected that these ses sions will last until March 22, when Mr. Lloyd George will return to Eng land and President Wilson will go to Brussels and the devastated regions. hTe peace treaty probably will reach such a definite stage durlnjr the ses sions in Which. President 'Wilson and Premier Lloyd George will take part that a decision may be reached for assembling of the peace congress, with Germans present, between April 1 and 10. The peace treaty then will be pre sented and will Include military, naval, financial and economic features, all of which will in the meantime be formulated.

Of the $113,000 ap propriated for the Umatilla irrigation project -In the civil sundry bill as re ported out by the committee on appro priations of tne bouse, $30,000 Is to be expended on the canal system. Ex plaining this proposed canal system before the committee. Director A. P. Davis of the Reclamation service said: "That is partly to increase the ca pacity of the main can a I. One of the difficulties on this project has been the impossibility of securing moderate use of water on account of the open sub soil, and we find that the Increased acreage served is taxing the canal so as to necessitate lining it." A large discrepancy between the acreage cropped and the acreage Irri gated, it was explained, is due to the fact that ao much of it is planted in fruit, and the acreage irrigated is small as compared to the acreage to which water could have been supplied. The acreage irrigated was 8100 acres. The 25,888 acres for which water was available includes 10,000 acres just put under the ditch and for which 1918 was the first session.

A copy of the Massachusetts State Bulletin on Social Hygiene containing the following interesting comment on Oregon's comparative freedom from so cial diseases has just been received in the office of the Oregon Social Hygiene society: Oregon has every reason to be proud of her place In the accompanying graph, which shows that lss than six out of 1000 men from Oregon entering camps and canton ments were Infected with venereal disease, as against 89 out of 1000 in the worst In fected state. Official recognition for this remarkable achievement has been given the Oregon Social Hygiene society by Surgeon General Blue of the United States public neaitn service. Since 1911 this society has carried on i vigorous state-wide campaign and has dem onstrated by careful, painstaking means that, when given the right information, peo ple will respond. Such results should cer tainly encourage all workers along social hygiene lines and lead to fresh efforts In the task of education. Legislative appro priations, in addition to large private sub scriptions, made possible this constructive programme by which a trained corps of workers with literature and exhibits was sent into homes, schools, industrial plants and even to remote mining camps. The society also eQ-operated with the Oregon national guard and the United States army. An important factor in combating vene real disease is the elmlnation of quack ad' vertisements and treatment.

ENGLISH DEPLORE CLAIMS British Newspaper, The Nation, Is "Tired of Hearing of Special Claims X ' France." BT JOSEPH W. GRTGO. (CopyrigHt by the New York World. Pub- usnea by Arrangement.! LONDON, March J- (Special by Wireless.) French demands for a ma jor part If not for the- whole of the German fleet, and ths desires of Italy to obtain the Austrian war vessels, again have centered ' publio attention here on the final disposition of the en emy ships. If ths peace conference adopts the policy of distributing the vessels among tha allied nations, Britons believe that they are entltlea to the lion's share. In that case. It will then have to be decided what, to do with them. 'There s little. If any, opinion among naval men that Grea't Britain would adl any of them to her fleet. On the contrary. the opinion was expressed to the World correspondent in well-informed quarters that they would probably be dismantled and used either as depot or school ships. It is generally believed that on the advice of its naval chiefs the British government has fathered the scheme to sink the enemy vessels as the best way out of the problem to avoid recrimina tions. No bard and fast policy in this connection, It is asserted, has been formulated. One argument from eco- nomio grounds against the sinking of J3d.000.000 worth of ships is that they can be used, when filled with concrete, as the foundations for breakwaters and piers. The world correspondent ascer tained the views today of some noted naval men as to how tha ships can best be disposed of. Ships Talne Minimised. Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge said: "If any allied or sssociated nation wishes to preserve its due portion of the Ger man fleet and add It to Its own fleet, there can surely be no objection. My personal view is that the German ships would not be worth the cost of pre serving them." Commander Bellaire. a well-known writer and member of parliament, said: "Share the lighter craft in proportion to the losses. The dreadnaughts and submarines should be stripped of all their fittings and then sold on condi tion that they be not resold, but broken up within 13 months of peace." Admiral Sir Edmund Fremantle said: The destruction of the German ships would be wasteful. I would suggest an equal division between Englana and France, the ships to be demobilized, the machinery removed and uised as necessary, elsewhere, and the ships utilized as harbor derpots for maritime purposes, either naval or mercantile. Italy could similarly appropriate the Austrian fleet- French Demands Criticised. Commenting upon the French de mands the liberal weekly, the Nation, strongly deprecates the desires of Francs to incorporate the German fleet in har navy, eaylng: "Quite frankly, we are tired of hearing of the special claims of France. One would have thought France would have laid spe cial claim to-the prolonged peace. In stead, her special claims end all in the same direction, towards Introducing ones more Into the world the irtoler able competition In arguments which precipitated the world war. Few In this country are prepared at France's bidding or any one else's, to see the race of armament deliberately started all over again."
