Army of Veterans
Fights for "Reds"
PARIS, March 22.?Spartacan forces
fn the Ruhr Valley of Germany num?
ber at leas'. 20,000, and some estimate
them at 40,000, according to latest ad
vices received at the Foreign Office
here. They are well organized, being
composed of old shock troops and vet- .
crans, supplied with artillery, machine
guns and mine-throwers and having ?
batteries of 77-centimetre field guns
with plenty of ammunition.
Major Beerfeld, a relative of Maxi-1
rnilian Harden, is commander of these ?
troops, lie is also known as the man
who published Prince Lichnowsky's
report blaming the German government
for starting the World War, and also;
vus prominent in the Spartacist trou- '
ble? at the time of the admistice and
also January, . i? 1 .s.
Ebert ?_-.verument authorities are
concentrating troops and planning to
surround the Ruhr Valley and force
the Spartacists to capitulate. These
men, however, are younger and less
trained than the "Reds."
The occupation of the Ruhr district I
by Gorman troops is in direct violation
of Articles 42 and 43 of the Treaty of
Versailles, it was stated at the Foreign i
Office, which added the comment that
this was the first act committed by i
Germany in violation of the treaty, the)
other violations bcinc' those of omis
pion. It was indicated that the French
government would take no separate ac- ;
.?on in the circumstances, acting only
after consultation with the Allies as to '
what measures were necessary.
Two German officers have been sent*
by the Ebert government to acquaint !
the French authorities with the situa- j
tion in the Ruhr district. These officers
ai< expected to reach Paris this eve- ?
niiig.
Berlin to Launch

In favor of a revision of the Versailles
treaty and the holding of a new inter?
national conference at which van?
quished nations ?night be represented
for the object of changing or eliminat?
ing many clauses of the present treaty
between the Allied nations and Ger?
many, according* to a Geneva dispatch.
A book, entitled "The Greatest Crime
of Humanity," has been prepnred and
10.000.000 copies printed for free dis?
tribution, especially in America, Eng?
land and France. It is said that mill?
ions of other pamphlets will follow.
The reactionary revolt in Berlin on
March 18 put a temporary stop to the
movement, it is said.
Many Barricades
Erected in Berlin
LONDON, March 22.?A dispatch to
"The London Times" from Berlin says
that in largo areas of the city bar?
ricades have been built and trenches
dug along roadways which are manned
by government toorp. .
The dispatch adds that the National
Assembly will not bo able to meet in
Berlin before Wednesday, at the ear?
liest.
At Krefeld, twelve miles northwest of
Dusseldorf, armed workmen have taken
over the whole industrial organization
and the Reichswehr is powerless to
deal with the situation, according to a
( enttal News dispatch from Berlin by
way df Amsterdam.
The food situation, particularly in
the larger towns, is causing alarm.
N. Y. Central Will Adopt

The New York Central announced last
night that it would run its commuta?
tion trains after 2 a. m. next Sunday to
conform to the daylight saving time ar?
rangement. Neither timetables nor time?
pieces of tho railroad will show the
change, and commuters on local trains
will have to add an hour to tho "Lv."

Two Shot Dead, Four
Wounded, in Dublin Riot
DUBLIN, March 22 (By The Associ- j
| ated Press).?There was a riot here !
! to-night, in which two men were, shot j
j dead nnd four were seriously wounded. |
| The riot was precipitated by the dis
i orderly conduct of soldiers, about three
l hundred of whom paraded the streets
i about 0 o'clock,singing, jostling passers
j by, hammering doors and smashing
? windows.
After parading through Harcourt
! Street the soldiers returned toward
\ their barracks, followed by a large
'? crowd of civilians. At the Portobello
bridge near the barracks a clash
' seemed inevitable, and a volley was
tired over the heads of the crowd, but
by whose, orders is unknown.
The shooting, which resulted in the
killing of the two men and the wound- j
1 ing of other persons, took place in ?
Richmond Street. The circumstances j
surrounding it arc not yet known.
The soldiers, who started the dis- l
order, eventually returned to their
be.rracks. Other soldiers not con?
cerned in the rioting were roughly
handled by the. populace while return?
ing alone to the barracks'.

Benson Warned
Him of British,
Asserts Sims
Tells Senate Committee
Chief of Operations Said
That We Would as Soon
Fight Them as Germans
No Reply From Admiral
Witness Says He Advo?
cated Troops in Ship?
yards to Speed Tonnage
Front. The Tribune'? Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 22.?Rear Ad?
miral William S. Benson, chief of naval
operations during the war, was named
to-day by Rear Admiral Sims as author
of the verbal instructions which Sims
received just before his departure from
Washington, in April, 1917, to take
command of the American naval forces
abroad. As repeated by him, these or?
ders were:
"Don't let the British pull the wool
over your eyes. It is not our duty to
pull their chestnuts out of the fire. Wc
would as soon fight the British as the
Germans."
Admiral Sims so testified at the
opening of his cross-examination this
morning before the Senate sub-com?
mittee which is investigating the con?
duct of the war.
Although agreeing with Senator Pitt-1
man that this admonition was given by
Admiral Benson before America's ac?
tual entry into the war, Admiral Sims
declared that it was repeated to him
by the chief of naval operations six
months later, when the latter was in
London.
"I did not pay much attention to it
at first," said Sims, "because I be- \
lieved that he was intensely anti-Brit-1
ish, a belief entertained generally
throughout the service. Admiral Ben?
son is a fair, square, honest and high
minded gentleman, and I regarded it
as personal prejudice on his part. But
any man who is intensely anti-British
or anti-French will be controlled by
such sentiments."
Reluctant to Give Name
Admiral Sims was reluctant to give
the name, explaining that he had tried
to avoid personalities. Pressed by j
Chairman Hale, however, he said:
"I will tell the whole story. Early j
in April, 1917, 1 was ordered from my :
post in Newport to Washington. When
I arrived I reported by telephone and
was rold not to come to the depart?
ment, but to get in touch with the
chief of the Bureau of Navigation, j
Rear Admiral Leigh C. Palmer. Every- I
thing was secret, the way they* liked I
it. I could not get in touch with Ad- j
mirai Palmer then, so I reported to j
him later at the department, and then \
I had an interview with the Secretary ;
of the Navy in his office. No one else !
was present, as I remember it. The ]
interview was very brief. I was told ;
that I was going abroad to confer '
with the Allied admiralties; that Am- :
bassador Page had requested that an
officer of high rank be sent for that
purpose.
'Just before leaving Secretary Dan
?els's office, or just before going there,
I don't remember which, I went to the
Bureau of Navigation. The admiral
was there, and it was then that Ad?
miral Benson gave me this admonition.
There was nothing that preceded it
or followed it. 1 left immediately."
When seen this afternoon at his of?
fices in the .Shipping Board, where he
succeeded John Barton Payne as chair?
man, Admiral Benson, who is now on i
the retired' list, refused to comment
on Sims's disclosure.
"Not a Word," Benson's Comment
''Not a word," he said.
He will bo given opportunity to tes?
tify before the committee.
Calling Admiral Sims's attention to
his letter to Secretary Daniels of Jan?
uary 7, in which he quoted the verbal
instructions which had been given him,
Senator Pittman, of Nevada, refreshed
the admiral's memory on testimony he
had given to the effect that he had
never intended the letter to go beyond
the Secretary and other high officers
of the department. He then drew from
Admiral Sims that he had shown the
letter, before it whs brought out in
his testimony on the medal awards,
to Henry P. Davison, chairman of the
American Red Cross and a member of
the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.
"I did so," said the witness, "on or
about January 17, on a visit to the
home of Mr. Davison as his guest at
a dinner he was giving to Mrs. White
law Reid."
"Do you think thi_ was proper?"
Senator Pittman asked.
Called It an Indiscretion
"I admit it was an indiscretion, a
mistake," the witness replied.
"Was he the only civilian to whom
you showed it ?"
"Yes."
"Were there any other civilians
present?" Senator Pittman asked.
"There may have been one or two in
the house at the time, I don't just re?
call."
"Did' the letter contain at that time!
all it contained when sent to the Sec?
retary?"
"Yes, absolutely. It wa? a copy."
"You have intimated, and I consider
it a reflection On this committee," said
Senator Pittman, "that you would never
have made the letter public but for tho
fact that the committee made you sub?
mit it."
"I made no such reflection. I con?
sidered the request of the committee
for the letter equal to a command."
"Might it not have occurred to you
that the publication of this letter, con?
taining matter offensive to a nation
with which we are at peace, might be
prejudicial to this government and
could yop not have so advised the com?
mittee?"
Thought Publication Beneficial
"Had I thought it prejudicial to the
government," Admiral Sims replied, "I
would have submitted It behind closed
doors. As it was, I considered its pub?
lication would be beneficial."
"Did any member of the committee
have advance knowledge of the con?
tents of this letter?"
"Not that I know of."
"But vou had it in your pocket when
you came here that day to testify on
the question of medal awards?"
"That was because ever since I
wrote it I have carried the only copy
I had in my pocket at nil times to pre?
vent it from becoming public. But 1
found copies of it at the Navy Depart?
ment a few hours after I had testified.
That was after Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt invited me to his office, and I
saw a copy of it on his doBk."
"Then you don't think it was im?
proper willingly to disclose to the com?
mittee these confidential instructions
you had received: so confidential, in?
deed, that they were not put in writ?
ing?" Senator Pittman persisted.
"No, I do not. Moreover, other offi?
cers were present when they were given
to me. The officers of the navy have
made up their minds not to go into
another war under conditions which ob?
tained when we went into this one."
At this the spectators broke forth in
a round of handclapping.
Urged Troops for Tonnage
Endeavoring to show that the in?
structions were justified by the pro
British attitude of Admiral Sims, Sena?
tor Pittman directed his attention to a
letter Sims had written Secretary Dan?
iels on November If?, 1917, from Lon?
don, suggesting the advisability of
using a good proportion of the national
army as labor in the American ship?
yards, owing to the great need of ton?
nage, instead of sending it to France.
Pittman also Blbmitted the copy of
a letter, taken from Admiral Sims's file,
which he had sent to Admiral Sir Lewis
Bayly, of the British navy, on January
24, 1918, showing Sims to have been
a strong advocate of the brigading of
American troops with the British, in?
stead of depending on the development
of a separate American army. '
Justifying this, the witness called at?
tention to the fact that this method
of brigading "was precisely what was
done, and it made possible the winning
of the war."
?-?
Navy by 1921 to Equal
Britain'?, Says Butler
WASHINGTON, March 22. -America's
navy will about equal that of Great
Britain in lighting power by 1924,
Chairman Butler of the Naval Com?
mittee told the House to-day in de?
fending the provision in the naval ap
propriation bill for continuing the
eighteen capital ships now under con?
struction.
"In the next four years," said Mr.
Butler, "the United States will put
out. tha most formidable armada the
world ever has seen produced in a
similar period."
In 1921, he continued. Great Britain
will have GO battleships; the United
States. 47: France, 26; Japan, 15; Italy,
13. While England will have more
ships, he added, those of the United
States will he about equal in power.
Representative Kitchin, of North
Carolina, former Democratic leader,
opposed big ship construction, saying
that England, Russia and France were
not building "sea monsters."
"Shouldn't we get back to normal
conditions and wait to see what the
other powers will do?" he asked. "The
league of nations may stop further big
armament."
Gompers Calls Allen
Fomenter of Bolshevism
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
TRENTON, N. J., March 22.?Those
persons who, like Governor Henry J.
Allen of Fjansas, are attempting to
take from labor the right to strike
are engaged in a Bolshevist manufac?
turing establishment, according to
Samuel Gompers. president of the <
American Federation of Labor, who
spoke before the New Jersey Legis- !
lature here to-night. Mr. Gompers j
was granted the privilege of address?
ing the joint session in reply to the ?
argument made before the House and ;
Senate two weeks ago by Governor i
Allen, who sponsored the bill for the
establishment of a court of indus?
trial relations similar to the one in
Kansas.
Mr. Gompers reviewed the record of |
labor with special emphasis upon its i
work program. He told of the discon?
tent that exists in England, France, \
Germany and Russia and declared that '
to take from labor the right to strike \
would render the labor unions and ;
labor leaders impotent.
"Then we would lind some other way I
to express our discontent." he said. ?
Record Crowd
To Hear Rent
Bills To-day
Continuad from past en?
between tho legislators and the realty
and investment interests on Friday
night was most discouraging, because
of the danger that building will not be
resumed. Tho Mayor and tho commit?
tee are anxious to do all that is pos?
sible to give capital security and en?
couragement, but, after all, it is the
immediuto crisis that is most impor?
tant, and we cannot afford to evado
meeting that crisis in tho hopo of
stimulating the building of houses that
will not bo ready for a year."
The Central Federated Union will
be represented at Albany by its presi?
dent and secretary, Edward L Hannah
and Ernest Bochm, with a small dele?
gation of other officials.
The various tenants' organizations
will produce the big crowd. One of
the largest delegations will be that
from the Bronx, headed by John Boyle
jr., A. B. Simonds, E. V. Bradbury and
Peter Wynee. Mr. Boyle said last
night that there would be more than
fiOO in this one delegation. It will meet
in the concourse at the Grand Central
and march to the hearing in a body.
The organization has been completed
under a sub-committee of the Repub?
lican County Committee of the Bronx.
Delegations from the Tenants' League
atid other similar organizations are
expected to bring the total to 1,500.
The big delegation representing
landlords will be that of the United
Real Estate Owners, of whom Stewart
Browne, the president, predicted yes?
terday that there would be at least
200. This delegation will throw its
strength to the attempt to block the
restrictive measures, and to have
passed instead of the Black bill, giv?
ing tenants now holding space without
written leases the right to remain a
year without increased rent. Mr.
Browne himself will advocate the meas?
ure fixing the return on rented prop?
erty at 20 per cent of the assessed
valuation of 1919, the proposal which
raised such a storm at the meeting of
the association on Sunday.
To Fight Mortgage Taxes
The Real Estate Board will be rep?
resented by Alexander McNulty, its
counsel, and Edward R. Doyle, both of
whom went to Albany last night.
They will make a final attempt to head
off such legislation as would prevent
investment in building, and seek the
repeal of tho present taxes on mort?
gages. Amendments to the present bills
will be offered in the hope that
a compromise can be reached that will
permit permanent relief, and at the
same time curb the profiteering evils
which are recognized by tho old line
real estate men as well as by others.
The attitude of such owners on the
pending legislation was expressed yes?
terday by Franklin Pettit, president
of the Realty Company of America, at
2 Wall Street. The company has been
planning to erect thousands of apart?
ments for rental at moderate prices
in the Long Island City district, and
the carrying out of its program will
depend on the legislation enacted.
"I can hardly believe that the dras?
tic, restrictive and probably uncon?
stitutional legislation which has been
made a part of the program to be car?
ried out at Albany concerning the rent
situation can be seriously considered
for passage by the Legislature," he
said. "However, it appears that under i
the great pressure which has produced
a state of hysteria, several bills wheh
undermine the fundamental principles
of property rights are about to be
passed.
"The pity of it all is that this very
action on the part of the Legislature
will impede the progress of a move?
ment, which at least had a good start,
looking to a comprehensivo program
for construction of new five-story
buildings, which might, have provided
liousing for thousands of families.
Many of these buildings might have
been ready for occupancy in six or
seven months and a great many more
in from twelve to eighteen months.
This movement for new housing will
be nipped in the bud if this legislative
program is carried out.
Black Bill Indorsed
"The real estate interests have been
asked to suggest other appropriate
legislation in substitution for these
J drastic measures, and fault is found
because they are unable to do so.
They are all in favor of a bill which
would protect the tenants from having
their rents raised from month to
month, along the lines of the Black
bill or some similar measure, but they
cannot be expected to offer any legisla?
tion which interferes with full rights

Damage Verdicts
Soar With Living'
CANTON, Ohio, March 22.?
Damage verdicts have gone up,
with the cost of living. In Com?
mon Pleas Court here to-day,
Judge Day refused to grant a new
trial in a case where $8,000 had
been awarded the plaintiff. The
defendant's motion was based on
the contention that the verdict
was excessive. Judge Day ruled
that in view of living costs it
was proper.
of ownership of property or which
would place in the hands of city magis?
trates or others the right to fix rental
values.
"If the Legislature would pass the
correctivo measure, such as the Black
bill referred to, and pass the bill re?
moving tho tax from interest on mort?
gages, and stop at that, instead of be?
ing stampeded into this proposed
break in constitutional rights, the sit
uation will gradually be cleared up."
A similar position is taken by the
Advisory Council of Real Estate Inter?
ests, in a report by its law and legis?
lation committee, through John Guy
ton Boston, its chairman. In it he
says:
"The hard fact which underlies the
present rental situation is that for
every available apartment of certain
types there is more than one appli?
cant.
"The Legislature cannot cure the ex?
isting situation, because the only cure
is an adequate supply of housing ac?
commodation, and it cannot legislate
that into existence. It may attempt by
one expedient or another to prevent
the indulgence of human greed in the
feast which this opportunity offers.
No legislative attempt in that direc?
tion has ever succeeded.
Patience Called Real Cure
"It may seem a hard thing to say,
but it is the bald truth, that there is
no cure for the present situation ex?
cept patience and the careful avoid?
ance by legislatures of any measures
which might tend to render building
operations less attractive. The Legis?
lature may by favorable tax legisla?
tion attract capital to building .enter?
prises, but action along any other lines
will only be harmful."
Edward P. Doyle, of the Real Estate
Board, suggested to the Mayor yester?
day that the joint legislative com?
mittee of which Senator Lockwood
is the chairman receive power to
fix a reasonable rate of increase
in the income of property own?
ers between 1915 and to-day. The
Mayor made no comment on the
idea. After the conference Mr. Doyle
declared that tenants complaining of
rent increases should be compelled to
show that they had not been guilty of
proJiteering themselves.
"Bricklayers getting $10 a day now
lay only 480 bricks," he said. "In !
former years they laid 1,600, though i
they were paid less. Garment workers '
do less work now for $55 a week than ;
they used to for $14. I can't see ?
where such men have a very good case
when they object to the landlords' do- j
ing the same thing."
William Jackson and Ladan B. Jackson, '
son. 126 West Sixty-sixth Street, were
held in $1,000 bail each yesterday by !
Magistrate Sweetser, on the charge
that they had used a hatchet and some
carbolic acid with damaging effect on
the furnishings of a two-room flat
they rented from Charles B. Miller.
According to Miller he told the men
on March 16 that their rent would
jump from $16 to $28 a week and the
damage occurred the next day.
