More than 1000 Spartacans who took part In the recent v street fighting have been arrested by v gorerament troops. " , Order is being eEtabllshed through--v ut the provinces, following the lead l of Berlin and Dusseldorf. There Is still some trouble in Ham "'" burg, but It is expected to end Boon. The minister of war, in an address to the loyal troops, declared that if ' the Spartacans attempted to interfere ' -with the national assembly elections in this city on next Sunday, he hopfed ':':'! ths soldiers would know how to deal "with the disturbers."

Field Marshal von Hindenburg has been made generalissimo of German forces for the ' protection of the eastern frontiers, the ' r Zurich, correspondent of the Journal " wired today. This action is taken here to mean that Germany is taking precau tions against an invasion by Polish forces or by the Russian Boleheviki. Armistice With Spartacans f, Amsterdam, Jan. 15. (U. P.) "Peace negotiations" have begun between the ' k fpsxtacana and the German government, according to Berlin dispatches received here today. The government and Spartacans are ' said to have arranged an armistice Fri day whereby neither faction would re- sum fighting without 12 hours' notice. POLICY OF UNITED STATES - IS NOT IN ANY DANGER (Omtlnoed From Pst On abrogation of the Monroe doctrine. No such thing was contemplated, nor was there any Idea of having an international army and navy.' vIn an interview Tuesday night Lord Robert Cecil declared, in reply to the question, that his plan did not contem plate the abrogation of the Monroe doc trine and that he did not consider such a step to be necessary. In fact, he felt that the Monroe doctrine wuld be an advantage for the league of nations. He did not believe that any one contem plated limiting it. Russia's Part Is Considered By Lowell Mellett Paris, Jan. 15. (U. P.) Representa tion -for Russia at the peace congress was expected definitely to be determ ined ' upon at today's session of the inter-allied war council. - The associated powers have reached tha obvious conclusion that discussion of world peace would be absolutely futile without the vast poulation of Russia being considered. They also are understood to realise that the Russian problem cannot be solved with out tha consent and cooperation of the people themselves. : A program for official investigation of actual conditions in Russia was to be discussed fully today. This, it was believed, will result in a committee be ing sent Into that country which would report directly to the conference. Upon tha report would be based some program Of recognition for the soviet government , and other factions that they might send A Superior Service Every Citizen of Oregon Should Know: (TDrcgMlifc Home Office C"S18SK? , Portland, Ore, A.

This not only-xarrles out the league of na tions idea, but Is significant as bring ing additional western thought Into the conference. America's entrance into the war transformed the Issues from Eu ropean to world wide scope and now Old World political "ideas are In contact with those of the New World. Canadian and American ideals, for In stance, are closely allied. Provisional agreement has already been reached regarding delegates for the British dominions. It only remains for this agreement to be confirmed. Un der the present scheme Great Britain and her colonies would vote separately, the latter being drawn In only when questions directly affecting them are dis cussed, thereby eliminating the very re mote danger of a "packed convention." The only countries, in fact, whose rep resentation has not been at least ten tatively fixed, are the two which made separate peace settlements with the cen tral powers Russia and Roumanla. There seems to be po obstacle in the way of granting delegates to the latter, the number being the chief matter un der consideration. Russian representa tion obviously will take more time and discussion. Opposition Tfot Held Final The feelln prevails now that Foreign Minitr Pichon's bitter opposition to even partial recognition of the Russian soviet government, based on a sugges tion of the British government favoring such recognition, need not be consid ered as final. In this connection. It was authentically reoorted today that tnere Is nothing mysterious in the fact that the American delegation knew noming of the British proposal until Pichon's published 'statement. The sroDOsal was forwarded to Washington through thejisual channels. Counsellor Polk of "the state depart ment erroneously assumed that Presi dent Wilson would be advised airecuy. which undoubtedly would have been the case if this particular subject had come up in the course of the diplomatic con versations. But this was only one angle of the nroblem. which the various govern ments, are constantly exchanging views upon. Furthermore, It was explained Wilson was not in contact with the Rritlah renresentatives when tne bud- Ject became ripe, being in Italy at that time. . The "mystery" therefore is regarded as an unfortunate slip up. Results of Meeting Given Tri .Tan 15.

Le Petit Jour nal gave Tuesday the following out line of what was aiscussea, ami, .ii tn Ha tmuallv well informed correspondent, decided. The paper denies that occupation of German ports was agreed upon. 1 RevictualUng : it was oecioea u' Germany must surrender virtually her whole merchant marine to the allies and America In order to facilitate the food relief. In return food will be furnished to her. The Jugo-Siavs, tne izecno Hlavs, Poles. Maygars and Roumanians also will be fed. 9 Tftittioi : The Germans must restore all the materials stolen from the invaded regions.

Oc cupation of the German porta was not decided upon. 5 Poland : The question of interven tion In that country was reserved for further discussion. Monday's conver sations were, confined to the old armis tice terms and to the landing facilities at Danzig. Prussian Poland port on the Baltic. Representation at Conference Then the council took up the question of representation of the various nations at the peace conference. The five great -powers, America, Britain, France, Italy and Japan, will have five delegates each. Brazil is tne omy nation to nave xnree delegates. Belgium, Serbia, Greece, noiiana. tne Czecho-Slavs. Roumanla and China will have two delegates each. Portugal, and the countries which broke diplomatic relations with the cen tral powers, without, however, actually making war, will have a single represen tative. British Possessions Favored Canada, Australia, South Africa and India will have two delegates each, and New Zealand and Newfoundland one each. Jugo-Slav representation is as yet undecided. The Croats and Slovenes are likely to have their own delegates, as well as the Serbs. Russian, German and Austrian repre sentation Is a matter for future discus sions.

"As the legion was organized a little more than a year ago, by General Brice P. Disque and every member pledged hlmpelf to be loyal and patriotic, and,' through the efforts of his labor, en deavor to meet the requirements of the government for the period of the war. The employer and employe alike have been successful in meeting these re quirements and have been highly com mended by the army officers and offi cials of the United States government. "Now that the war is over it is the unanimous opinion of the employes rep resenting over 100,000 members, that we continue on the same lines, worklnsr hand In hand with the employers, on a cooperative plan and with a firm d$- iciinuioiiuii iu insure lnauarriai peace, avert strikes, to keep Bolshevik and I.

"We have two conditions existing be tween employer and employe which are instrumental in encouraging prosperity and they are the eight-hour day and no reduction of wages' below our minimum and a square deal to all.
