BLOSSOM DAY
IS APRIL 11
Time When Valley Will Be
A-BIoom is Tentatively
Set by Committee
Sunday. April 11. is the tentative
date that has been set for Blossom
day in Salem.
After conferring with the frtilt
men yesterday. Manager MeCroskey
of the Commercial club, who origin
ated the Blossom flay i&ra. and mem
bers of the committee, divided to i"U
the probable tine for the event. It
is the opinion of fruit growers that
the valley will be beautifully a-bloom
by April 11. particularly the prune
orchards through which visitors to
the city will bo escorted on that day.
Blossom day will be widely adver
tised and it is expected that the city
will be full of visitors on the ap
pointed day. chiefly of people who
are not familiar with the beauties
and productivity of this section.
The committee will ask for the
use of automobiles which public
spirited citizens are expected to dv
nate for the day. A motor car ex
cursion will go from Salem through
hte Rosedale district and other p rts
alive with color at that time.
Wiere may all these Ribbons be
found?
Right here is a splendid, high
grade, line. Plain colors and plenty
of novelties beautiful Ribbon!
Not so low priced as before the war
but not nearly so high as the markets
indicate, besides, our retiring from
business sale allows 10 per cent discount.

clashes In many places in Germany.
makes an Interesting chapter in the
history of labor's protest against Or.
Wolfgang Kapp's attempt to estab
lish a reactionary government.
Irofrt ..g:ikt Kapp.
When the news of th military
coup at Merlin was received, the
workuen here, aa elsewhere, im
mediately struck. Statements from
both sides, substantially agree that
this is what then happened: The
workmen offered to co-operate with
the police to guard the city, and
posted notices that looters would be
shot. Then they consulted the ma
jor commanding the garrison. He
declared that the soldiers would sup
port Kapp and proclaimed martial
law. He sent to Krefurt. a few miles
distant, where 2000 troops were sta
tioned, for reinforcements.
The workmen from the munition
plants in the outskirts began to con
verge on Ootha. having seized quan
tities of arms and several armored
cars. The forces engaged in fight
ing after the workmen had killel
two soldiers who Interfered with a
boy tearing down the martial law
proclamation.
The workmen lacked organization
but were strong enough to expel the
small garrison. According to one
leader they realized that they would
be unable to resist successfully a
massed attack by the soldiers com
ing from Erfurt and yielded in order
to avoid furthe- bloodshed.
Some Still In Anns.
Their opponents admit that th
workmen did not attempt to inter
fere with the municipal authorities
or establish a government. There
Is no talk whatever of a soviet, al
though the conservatives assert that
Bolshevik agents arrived and tried
to induce the strikers to organize
one.
The correspondent visited todav
every trouble point between llpslc
and Ootha. There exists apparently
only on ii-ue. military control. The
workers everywhere announce as
their principal demands abolition of
maitial law and the re-erention of
the civil, truard composed of repre
sentatives of all classes to replace
"Noske's reactionary army."
In the country districts there are
still a few small bands of artnd
workmen who have not twen rounded
up. Such a one stopper me Associ

It consisted of about a dozen nnl
formYl men quartered at a wayUe

Thev said they had . heard that four

by troops and executed this morning
because they refused to give infor

he overtook sereral soldiers bring

hands were pinioned behind their
backs.
Considerable fighting h.iS occur

entrenched themeles in the for
