LONDON, Mar., 18 Hy As sociated I'ress The Ixmdon Times understands that telcgrama have been received from a well authenticated source In llrrlin which convey the information that the situation in Germany at the present time la extremely nerious. There re rurrrnt rumors In Merlin that Dr. Wolfgang Kapp. who headed thr reactionary movement and set up ! a government in llerlin last Satur- day and who rciitned yesterday nas committed suicide. I'uhlic places and the squares in the city arr filled with crowds in an ujrly humor Anything likely to happen.

M has or dered court action to be instituted against the revolutionary leaders. General Von Luettwitz, rommander- in-chief of the troops which supported i thr Kapp rririme has left Berlin with I an aimed force according to the dispatches from Berlin received at Amsterdam. Before his withdrawal Von Luettwitz proposed to Krnest Daumig, Sp.irtacan leader the forma tion of a soviet republic under mili tary protection according to the Berlin correspondent of the Politiken. The full details surrounding the retirement of Kapp yesterday have Isting in the country and the crisis not been rrvraled as yet.

REASONS GIVEN FOR LOW PRICEi Packing Company Explains the Cause of Reduction in Cost of Hacon Some misapprehension exists a mong the citizens of Albany in re gard to the announcement made yes tenlay by local merchants conrrrn- i ing tne sale or linron to oe iurnisneo ! by the NVbergall Pncking company. The product which la being offered at a price a great deal lower than what is usually paid is not the same as ordinary breakfast bacon. It is made from parts of the aide which is ordinarily rrndrrcd into lard. I.anl has dropped to -'.r rents a pound In rendering the meat into Ard 2.ri per cent It lost. In smokir.g it (or b icon onlv 6 per cent is lost. This explains why at this time it is cheaper to turn it into baron nnd how it is possible to furnish this product at what is apparently an anorm ous out in price. D..niM..ni,l(v. tf ikn !.brirn1l P-i, L, .vish , n,;.lce i, clear that the present product is not the same that the public has been pet ting at regular market prices. The renson that the price on the povini ment bacon is lower than ordinary breakfast bacon is that tho govern ment buys a whole side of the hog for bacon and makes it all up into the product. Pncking companies select tho lean strips ordinarily and render the balance into Inrd. World's Record Made NEW YORK, March 17 According to an official announcement of the American Jersey Cattle club, the Jer sey cow Plain Mary, owned by F. W. Ayers of Bnngor Mo has broken the world's buttrrfat record for Jer seys of all ages with 1040.70 pounds to her credit In 365 daya. This dis places the record of 1031 pounds held by Vive La France, the famous cow in the herd at Pickard Bros., of Mar ion, Or., although Viva La France made the above record as senior 4 year- old and still holds the cham pionship In her class. Beef Brings Record Price KLAMATH FALLS. Or., March 17 Ten cents a pound for cows and 12 centa for steers, a price said to mark a record for Klamath beef, wirs paid by the Klamath Packlne- company for 40 head of cattle recently purchased The animals ahd been stall-fed for 125 days. his mind at the last moment and refused to withdraw with Kapp. This leaves him as virtual military dicta ' tor. Although the general strike Is back of the suddrti downfall ,of Kapp's ' reyime nevertheless he had no poli ' tical prestige and his strength was ' ifained I'rintipally with thr aid of , machine iruns. Friifhtened Brrliners were asking last night:"The White or Kid terror, which?" as a result ' f an official announcement that the reds were planning an uprising and asking the people to rise and save the .country from Bolshevism In preparation for thr expected 1 riing officials remained in their of f'ces all niirht. Soldiers were on duty , in all thr streets on look out for a 1 sudilcn un rush of reactionaries. Des ; pita Kapp's resignation Berlin seems doomed to a period of troublous times. ! Every effort is being made to sup press the communist movement It was thought that Von Luettwitz would transfer his new authority aa ' military dictator to Noske upon the ' latter's arrival in the city. Departure i of the former howevrr with an armed force is deemed to mean that trouble may be looked for from this source.

SAVE MONEY ON MEAT WEEK TO START MARCH 29 "The Department of Justice an nounced today the dates of 'Save Money on Meat' Week in the various States. During these weeks an ef fort will be made to reduce materially the prices of the cuts of beef, pork and lamb now in heavy demand by showing consumers the advantage of turning to those which are equally nu tritious but which cost much less. "The 'Save Money on Meat' Week which has been previously announced will be held from March 29 to April 5 in Oregon. "On each day of 'Save Money on Meat' Week some particular cut or cuts of the inexpensive variety will bo featurd and will be sold at a low price. Retailers who hitherto have not carried in stock some of the less costly cuts because their customers did not ask for then) intend to lay in adequate quantities of such portions of meat. It the consumers will take advantage of the highly nutritious and palatable pieces of meat which are relatively inexpensiv, the saving ef fcted will be tremendous, and It he slackened demand for the cuts now popular will result in lower prices thereon. ' "Under present conditions the price of the choicest cuts are in extreme instanea fifty or sixty cents higher por poond than the price of other good, wholesome meat from the same animal."

APPEALS FOR AID FROM AMERICANS IN GERMAN CITY SENT TO COBLENZ Commander of Army of Oc cupation Gets Telephone and Telegraph call from Stranded Americans. TRAIN IS DESPATCHED Messages State that Situation in City is Dangerous and that all Trains and Utili ties are Shut Down. COBLENZ. Mar. 18 By Asso ciated Preaa Two hundred Americana attending the Leipaig fair have telegraphed to the eoaa mander of the Amercan army of occupation in Germany, urgently asking help to leave the city.

Reports received from Leipsig have not been as disturb ing as from many of the other Ger man cities where the revolutionists have obtained a stronger hold.
