RED REVOLT A BLUFF
BY TEUTONS TO FORCE

Paris, April 4.-*-The prescrit oatbreak of bolshevism in tlM Ruhr hasla and
Westphalia is a flgantlc German blnff to scare the entente into revising and
ameliorating the Versailles treaty. Tha German government ooald stamp out
the puny red force south of tho Lippe river fey a two day's march through Essen.
If it wished. But the big labor leaders in Berlin, as well as tho reactionary and
monarchist elements, prefer to let tho disturbance continue, seeking to impress
tho allies with the need of making immediate sweeping concessions. The Socialist
government, too, would like to permit the conflagration to burn, but there Is
danger it will burst beyond control and throw all parts of Germany into bolshe
vlsm, with soviets established everywhere, which would defeat their purpose.
; Bolchevik leaders in the Ruhr basing
and Westphalia do not wish even a
promise of revision of the treaty at this
time, fearing euch action by the entente
Would revive the hopes of the people
and determine them to get to work hard
and try to fulfill the conditions of the
treat)' as rapidly as possible, thus bar
ring the chances of bolshevism sweeping
the country.
Apparent at "Front".
The colossal camouflage covering the
bolshevik uprising is only perceptible
after visiting the "red front" where the
"war" is raging. Inspection shows a
handful of unofficered workmen with
rifles, band grenades, and a few pieces
of artillery they don't know how to use,
half heartedly firing desultorily upon
the reichswehr positions.
Opposite along the Wesel line, the
feienswehr troops lazily are holding the
front" by maintaining machine pun crews
along various roads and lobbing over
occasional shells along the highway.
The reds have perhaps 10.000 men
under arms and are wearing red brass
ards but not half are actually advanced
to the fighting zone. . x
Revision of the reparations terms ot
the treaty, enlargement of the army,
and rectification of the frontier are the
three principal points the authorities in
Germany want changed. They insist
that an army of 100,000 provided in the
treaty is insufficient to maintain order
and they are seeking to prove it by the
present example of bolshevism in West
phalia. As a matter of fact, General
Von Watter has 25,000 reichswehr op
posite the reds and could walk through
them at will if ordered.
Secretly Irate Reds.
The government secretly is inciting
the Westphalia reds about the repara
tions clauses which demand large ship
ments of German coal to France and
also hold up hopes that Malmedy which
was given to Belgium by the treaty
should revert to Germany. The Paris
bolsheviks are falling into the trap of
treaty revision by insisting on maintain
ing a'rms, if the armistice is signed, on
the ground the reichswehr would rush in,
establish a white terror, and massacre
them. . ..
If the German government permits the
reds to maintain arms and to form them
selves into militia, the military terms
of the treaty will be smashed, as the
soviet organizations of Westphalia and
the Ruhr area would soon build up a big
ariny of 200,000.
Red Leaders Not Sincere.
The suspicion arises that the red lead
ers are not sincere and do not desire
to proclaim soviets during the present
outbreak through their respect of au
thority and the maintenance of law and
order. In all the big cities of the dis
trict one obtains plenty of food, even
white bread at the more expensive
hotels, but he pays exorbitant prices.
When the most radical reds insisted the
money in the banks be confiscatel and
distributed, the leaders refused. The
only contrary instance was at Duisburg,
where 500,000 marks were seized and
the red troops were paid 65 marks
daily.
Red soldiers are short of arms and am
munition, chiefly because when tired of
"fighting" they leave the front to get a
little excitement they clamor to raid
the giant war factories and to seize the
munitions. The leaders carefully re
strain them, promising supplies from
other sources.
The belief is held after an investiga
tion that the bolshevik chieftains realize
their outbreak miscarried and they wish

a "peace without victory" for the reichs
wehr so the red troops won't be too
discouraged. The plan is then to pro
ceed to a better organization of the
workmen in the region, so the next up
rising will be a success.
Business as Usual.
That is why they wish to maintain
their arms and to establish their own
militia, barring the reichswehr from
Westphalia and the Ruhr. Only a frac
tion of the male population is participat
ing in the red movement. Business goes
on as usual in the large towns, except
the jewelers have taken precaution to
remove gold and Bilver articles from
their windows and crafty tradesmen do
not make tempting displays of edibles

shops.
In Westphalia and the Ruhr they arc
feeling the pinch 6f hunger through lack
of supplies, although tney are careful
enough not to interefere in the rail
road service through the region. Freight
trains rumble along the Munster-Cre
field line within easy range of machine
gun fire unmolested and the main line.

Chicago, April 4.—"Really I could not
repeat them, Your Honor. They're so
vile, the names she called me. I'll write
them down for you."
Mrs. Cyrus Edson Manierre, daughter
of Carter Harrison, five times mayor
Chicago, took a gold pencil from her
card case and scribbled a long list of
epithets, which she passed over to Judge
Graham.
The judge scanned the list and ap
peared properly shocked.
"Did she call you all these names?''
"She used every single word."
"Three dollars and costs," he said,
turning to Mrs. George C'eija, caretaker
of premises facing Lincoln Park ave
nue.
Mrs. Mannierre's pet dog yesterday
invaded the property over which Mrs.
Ceiga is custodian, tearing up some new
grass. Mrs. Ceiga chased him away
and when Mrs. Mandierre protested,
Mrs. Ceiga gave her a tongue lashing,
telling her she was no better than the
dog and should be at home caring for
her children instead of chauffeuring a
dog around the streets.
"I have a child at home," said Mrs.
Manierre, "but it is not necessary for
me to remain at home all day to care
for it. The dog needs some attention,
too."
"She insulted the dog by calling it a
dirty cur, when everybody knows," she
added, "that it's not a cur, but came
from fine pedigreed stock."
PUNTLIFEDEPEHDS
T
TEMPERATURE. CLAIM
Government Experts Discover
Revolutionary Principle by
Greenhouse Experiments.
Washington, April 4.— Government
agricultural experts have discovered that
plant life seems to depend oiy light
rather than temperature for nourish
ment and may be controlled by regulat
ing the hours of light and darkness.
The principle is revolutionary, but it
rests on actual experiments in which
it was demonstrated that plants sub
jected to alternate periods of light and
darkness in carefully determined pro
portions could be brought to maturity
at any time of the year.
The discovery may be of the highest
importance in the future planning of
cropping systems for different regions,
it is declared.
"Greenhouse experiments." says the
announcement by the department of ag
riculture, "prove that the flowering and
fruiting period of practically any plant
can be made to take place at any time
of year by darkening the greenhouse
in the morning and evening if the day is
too long, or by lengthening the day by
artificial light if the day is too short.
Have the Daylight.
"Spring flowers and spring crops
happen to be spring flowers and spring
crops because the days at the season
of their flowering and fruiting have the
proper number of hours of daylight."
Eventually it may be found, accord
ing to W. W. Garner and H. A. Alard,
scientists, in the bureau of plant indus
try who conducted exhaustive experi
ments, that the animal organism also is
capable of responding to the stimulus of
even day length. They believe that the
migration of birds may be an illustration
on the ground that direct response to
such a stimulus would be more in line
with modern biological teachings than
theories which assume that birds "go
south" as a matter of instinct.
Experiments were conducted with «
large variety of plants. It has shown
conclusively that too little "sleep" or
in other words, too many hours of day
light, would prevent many plants from
ever reaching the flowering and fruit
ing stage.
Even Bearing Type.
It was found also that the plants
would not reproduce except when expos
ed to a favorable length of day, although
too. much daylight for flowering and
fruiting might stimulate profuse vege
tative growth. A length of day fav
orable both to reproduction and growth
results in the "ever bearing" tvpe of
fruits.
By employing dark chambers the
scientists shortened or lengthened the
life cycle of plants and caused some of
them to complete two cycles in one
season.
Temperature appeared to exert no in
fluence in the tests. A striking illustra
tion of relative unimportance of tem
perature was given in the fact that the
plants kept in the dark for a part of
the day, underwent in mid-summer, the
changes that in nature come in the fall
and that heretofore have been attrib
uted to lower temperatures. This was
true even when the dark houses regis
tered a higher temperature than the
outside atmosphere.
Is Potent Factor.
Iris kept in artificial light for 18
hours a day bloomed in two months,
while others in the same temperature
but without artificial extension of the
day required months longer.
"The length of the dav", the depart
ment s announcement said, "is proved
to be a most potent factor in determining
tne relative proportions between the
vegetable and fruiting parts of many
crop plants. Indeed, fruiting may be com
pletely suppressed by a day too long or
too short. This new principle undoubted
v explains the erratic "behavior of which
has been observed with many crops
when they shifted to different latitudes 1 '.
The experiments are said to explain
why many plants grow must luxuriantly
near the northern limit of their range
where the long day perinita maximum
vegetative growth before the short day
intervenes to start reproduction.

Chicago Tribu* Special Dispatch to
Great Falls Dally Trfbnae.
Chicago, April 4,—Leaf year la
fairly well on its way, bat statistic*
show tho women are not getting any
startling results. Perhaps they
think the present breed of men not
worth going after, thus bearing out
the contention of Or. William Hick*
son, noted psychonathlst, that men
are degenerating at a rapid rata aad
that control of the world Is passing
into the hands of women. Great
things were expected of thie
S articular leap year. It was argued
liât war had made women bolder
and that they would simply go out
and pick the man they wanted, and
lead him to the altar.
Statistics gleaned from nine of
the larger cities do not bear out this
contention. They show a material
increase in mariages over the cor
responding three months of tho last
year, but there is not enough change
to indicate that the women are spe
cializing in the matrimonial lino.
Women, themselves, approached
on the subject, say the war made
them Independent, showed them they
could make their own living. In many
cases a better living than they would
enjoy as wife and they are content
to let things go along as they are.
Of course if some perfectly grand
man, with lots of money comes
along—well, no lady will ask him to
marry her—but thero are ways and
means. So the leap year privilege
seems to be used only by those des
perate ladies who see tnelr chances
growing smaller, who are becoming
passe and shelf worn and who are
willing to take a chance with almost
any sort of a man.
UGLIEST WOMAN
ATMONTE CARLO
Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service.
Monte Carlo. March 15.— Polaire, who
was billed as the "ugliest woman in the
world" on her theatrical tour in the
United States ten years ago. is here,
winning a little spare change at roulette.
Polair is built like an hour glass with
the smallest waist on any living thing
except a wasp, with a big mouth from
ear to ear. and about a million francs
worth of diamonds.
She is no plunger and plays a very
careful game, pulling down her winnings
and making her biggest bet first, instead
of letting the coin ride as most of them
do. Lily Langtry is also on deck. She
looks remarkably young still and has four
complete sets of jewels—diamonds,
pearls, rubies and emeralds. She is now
saving up for a set of sapphires, they
say.
Hobby Peel, of London, has been bat
ting the roulette tables at the sporting
club awfully hard. He made 95,000 francs
one afternoon, 80,000 more that night,
60,000 the following afternoon and 75,000
the following night.
On each of these four occasions. Peel
gave away more than 2,000 francs in tips
to the croupiers. He had packets of
thousand franc notes stuck in every
pocket and it was a lucky thing that his
Bond street tailor had put extra large
patch pockets on his jacket or he would
never have been able to get all his coin
under cover.
General Kcnley, of the United States
army, has been here taking a little rest
after his tour of inspection around Eu
rope to look over new models of air
planes for the army. The general was
in civvies and could go to the casino, but
he didn't play.

Chicago, April 4. —A diamond bracelet
and a necklace valued at $1,800, the
property of Mrs. Lew Morris, wife of
a partner of Marcuse & Co., a broker
age house, was turned over to the re
ceiver for the firm Saturday by order
of Fedeal Judge Landis.
Mrs. Morris was subpoenaed to appear
in court after her husband had admitted
to the judge that be had purchased the
jewelry for her.
"It has turned out that Marcuse &
Co., is hopelessly Insolvent," Judge
Landis said to Mrs. Morris. "It develops
that Marcuse and your husband are the
only men liable. The jewelry he has
given you has been purchased with
money belonging to other men and wo
men. Under these circumstances do you
wish to keej> it?"
Mrs. Morris answered in the negative
and Judge Landis entered an order
authorizing the receiver to accept the
jewelry and also several bank accounts
kept by Mrs. Morris.
