WORKERS COUNCILS ft CONTROL MANY CITIES IN SAXONY By George Witte parial Cable to Th Jrmrnal and Tb Cbicao Imily Nwi. (Owrifht 1920. by Chicago Dailj New Co.) Chemnitz, March: 21 (Via Copen hagen, Denmark, April 1.) --Six ony today In in the hands of innum erable "Kaethe republlken,'.' or re publics controlled by workingmen'a council. On' my way from Stutt gart and Nuremberg to Chemnitz I encountered no less than eight dif ferent republic of thia gind. Al though now ruled on Russian soviet ideas., all the places I passed through were1 quiet. In all order reigned and pven the most prgsperoua busi ness men shared- in the rule of the cities by the pfepulacfe. Fighting had taken place In a number of places and the relehawehr had been driven out at ihe point of the bayonet by organized workmen's nillltla, who, though supposed to be without arms, had produced army rifles from heaven knows where and appeared on the streets ready to do battle with the Noske guards. MILITIA IK WAIT In Hohenntein, Saxony, a trainload Vf workmen's militia, having heard that Minister of Defense Noske was expected to come through on his way to Ferlin last night, waited many hours to catch him. The minister, well knowing the anUgOfitum aroused by his policy, quietly went to Berlin by way of Frank fort on the Main and Magdeburg;, avoid ing: Saxon territory. In Glauchen, the workmen's militia took charge of all the banks, seized the funds and paid out to the workingmen wages for the days on which they had been on a general strike. The employers had refused . to pay, saying that the strike had been called by tha govern ment and that If any wages were to be paid out It would be by the government and not by them. GOOD OOVF.nNMEXT AIM "We want neither a militaristic nor a communistic government," was the sen timent found In all the workmen's re publics. "What .we want." said one labor leader, "is a constitutional govern ment strong enough to enforce the laws, especially food laws; a government elected by national assembly and repre sentative of all classes of the people Independent Socialists as well as con servatives and centrists. The present government, has shown itself to be ex tremely weak and It must be reorgan ized. "The Kapp government was too much of a return fn the Hohenzollern form of monarchy to do the masses Justice. The government adopted by Russia Is too wild-eyed and experimental for us to try. But until the government of Ger many is strong enough to keep the monarchists-its well as the left wing ex tremist?' In check we will rule our cities ourselves and offer armed resistance to iny attempt to subdue us by force." CHKMJN1TZ IS QUIET Chorion it itself is perfectly quiel to day, though In various hospitals, morgues. and privale houses are some 45 dead and 200 wounded who were vic tims of the heavy street fighting two days ago. According to the latest re ports Leipaig Is quiet today after five days of severe fighting for the' public buildings -In which hundreds were killed or wounded on both sides. The workmen, who were In revolt against Noske and his lror fisted regime, delivered an ul timatum to the governmenttroops to fluit the city Inside of 2i hours. When the demand was not compiled with they attacked the barracks and public buildings.

Its Visit to Japan By Jaaiaa B. Wood BrwciaJ cbi to Th Journal and tb CbJcaco Daily New a. iCopjrrfrht, 1920. by Chicago Daily New Co.) Tokyo. Japan, Aprtl 1. A generally hearty accord in views has been shown by thejg bankert representing the lead ing financial houi.es f Japan in the dis cussions of the past two weeks with Thomas W. Lamont of Morgan 6 Co., who is here representing ihe American group in the proposed consortium. In addition to the proposed loan to China other general financial matters relative, to the Orient, especially China, were diss cussed. The Lamont party has been cordially entertained with a constant whirl of re ceptions and banquets. The social fea ture, however, has not interfered with serious work on the big undertaking which will possibly mean much in the future relations of Japan, France, Brit ain and the United States as well as China. In a few days the party will leave for a three weeks' visit to Pekin and. Shang hai, returning to Japan later. sweIhTDs 11 s. action on PEACE HARD BLOW By Hal O'Flaherty 8pcil Cabl. to Tli. Journal and ' Th. Chicaso Daily New.. (Copyriiht. 1920. by Tha Chicwo Daily News Portion Harriet.) Stockholm. Sweden. Anrii i Scandinavian newspapers consider the United State senate's rejection of the peace treaty a heavy blow to the League of Nations, involving se rious doubta of the league's final in fluence. Numberless editorial at tempts are made to explain the American point of view and to point out the necesity for the senate's lengthy deliberation on lines of party politics, but In every case the conclusion reached is that the im mediate future of the league seems hopeless, with the prospect that some of the neutral Btates may be forced to withdraw. It Is deeply regretted that the United States, will be unable to assist in set tling international differences, first be cause all the small neutral states deeply fear the prospect of witnessing another European race for supremacy in arma ments and, second, because they feel that the seriate dispute was carried on in opposition to the will of the majority of the American people. The hope is generally held that the great body of the voters will swing the tide In favor of the league .when the matter is settled by the fall elections. It Is not surprising to find cases of bitter comment in which it is questioned why the country which developed the whole plan for world peace now ruins the chances tf success for that plan in order to gratify the political ambition of its' political leaders. This cynical and somewhat bitter attitude toward the senate's decision is influenced greatly by the recent events in Germany where the partial chaos Is attributed to the long delay In establishing peace. Chinese Continue Japanese Boycott By YT. J. L. Klehl Special Cable to The Journal and Th Chicago Dnily Newn. (Copyright 1920, by Chicago Daily News Co.) The Hague, April 1. The boycott of the Japanese by the Chinese In the LPutch East Indies still continues, .de spite ail government measures. Many DANIELS' NAVAL PROPOSAL IS EYE f OPENER TO JAPAN By Junius B. Wood fiptcial Cable to The Jor.mal and The Cnca f Daily News. (Copyright. 1!1!0 i Chicago Daily New Co. I .Yokohama.: Japan, April 1. Secretary Daniels' proposal to make th? American! navy the largest in the world has unloosed a torrent of? dis cussion in Japan. While the leading -officials decline to be interviewed f-th5 native language newspapers com ment on the; Snatter freely. The Chugsi Apogyo says the Amer ican authorities lay special emphasis on the necessity of 10 high speed cruisers, the objective of which can easily be Imagined. There is no dis guising the fact, says the paper, that since the close of the war the United states has been paying special attention to the Pacific, and Japan, having a mandate over the South Sea islands. Is said to be watching the naval bases at Guam and 4he Philippines. IlfCOXSISTESCT 18 CLAIMED , The Yorodzu Shimbun says that while America is urging pacificism on the one hand she is steadily extending her armaments on the other. It being im- "possible for any country to invade America, it Is not possible, in the opinion of the paper, to see the necess ity of an army of 270,000 to preserve the peace on her own soiL If the real intention of America is to menace the Oriental countries, herlip pacificism is merely for the purpose of deceiving the world and is equal to that Tf German militarism. The spending of $500,000,000 by America upon her Pa cific squadron compels Japan with her Smiited financial resources to devote $430,000,000 to increasing her own navy. This, adds the paper, does not insure real world peace. ARMED PEACE FEARED The writer concludes by saying that if America takes the lead in extending armaments the world will return to the days of armed peace, such as that which existed when the naval competi tion of England and Germany led to the great war. The Jill Shlmno savs that no sensible Japanese or American thinks that war is possible between Japan and America, and that any complications arising will surely be settled in the ordinary way. The world war has not made the posi tion of Britain in the Orient safer nor caused a noticeable change in Japan's position. The Jiji Shimpo adds that both pountries feel the nnenace of a Russian-German alliance and that a renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance means the continuation of the co operation and friendship of Japan, Britain and America, which are really in a 'triple alliance for preserving the peace of the world. Japanese have been tarred or mutilated by Chinamen. The government now in tends to take stronger measures to pro tect the Japanese. It will deport any one suspected of terrorizing the Japa nese, as well as those who, by spoken or written word, stir the people up against them. Dhe Shirt With.
