BERLIN, March 15.—Reports
here today indicate Germany is
divided in allegiance to the new
revolutionary government and the
old
Ebert
republican govern
ment. South German states, ac
cording to advices, have not ac-
cepted the new revol ution. Fear
is felt in many quarters of Ger-
many is at the beginning of a
grave civil war.
Essen dispaches said serious dis
turbances have occurred there,
in which thirty persons were
killed, and over eighty wounded,
and hundreds of stores were loot
ed.
It is reported Dr. Kapp, dictator
of the revolutionary government.
Is ready to resign and will charge
a coalition of the parties to form
a new revolutionary government.
A general strike is now largely
effective. Trains have stopped
running, the water supply is off
in many districts and restaurants
are closed. Suffering is beginning
to be acute, particularly among
the poorer classes.
In some quarters there is a
disposition to believe the revolu
tion will be short lived. The ef-
fectiveness of the general strike,
called- by Ebert before he left
Berlin Saturday, is believed by
many to show Kapp has not the
support of the majority of the
people.
The
reports
regarding the
whereabouts of Ebert and Noske
are conflicting. There is no con-
firmation of the reports they are
arrested, It is stated in some
quarters that Noske is raising a
force to act against the revolu-
tion.

ROSE BURG.—According to a
letter received by County Farm
Agent C. J. Hurd from the public
service commission, indiactions
are that the stockmen will win
their fight for restoration of the
former rate on mixed carload
shipments of livestock to the
Portland markets.
The railway company has de-
cided to ask permission of the
interstate commerce commission
to reduce the new rate, which is
alleged to be working an injus
tice on stock shippers besides
causing a material tailing off in
the number of animals sent from
southern Oregon points.
If the rate is reduced to meet
the request of shippers it will
amount to a saving of approxi-
mately $70 on a carload of stock
from this point.
