WRIGHT SONS CO. j L 1 fSTRIKES CHECKED BY SEVERE MEANS German Government Uses Troops, Martial Law and Other Salutary Methods. I BERLIN. Wednesday. April 2. The strikes at Stuttgart and in the Ruhr district seem to have been checked by the energetic action of the government by the prompt use of troops, martial law and other salutary means. Official reports from Stuttgart, sum marizing the situation there, say that serious violence Is reported only from Esslingen, where ihe Spartacans I seized weapons and automobiles, but surrendered them after negotiations. I The large number of nonresidents (among the strikers was one of the feat ures of the uprising, going to prove lhat the movement was. a claimed) : purely a political effort of the radicals land independents to overthrow the covi-rnmont. The strikers at Stuttgart assembled (frequently yesterday despite the mar jtlal law regulations but were dis persed The leaders ere arrested by i the troops, and the government was master of the situation by nightfall. The troops behaved splendidly, though some of them received rough treat ment. In the Ruhr district for a time the strike was extendedby several thou sand, bul the danger of a eeneral I strike subsided. The mines where the j Spartacans prevail are still closed, but in those sections where the union min ers and the majority socialists are in control, the men refused to close down, j Many decided to await developments, I in the meantime continuing their j work. The situation at Frankfort is quiet again. The number of victims of (he riot has reached sixteen, but this num ber will probably be augmented, as some of the wounded cannot hope o lhe. The funeral of the four women i who were killed took place this morn-, ing. The damage from plundering is estimated to aggregate several million marks. . nn USE POSLAM ' I FOR ECZEMA, 1 ITCH NO MORE Every eczema sufferer should know just how greatly Poslam is able to benefit this subborn trouble; how quickly it brings relief, stops itching cools, soothes and comforts.

(By the Associated Press) The opening gun in a new general attack on the government and the majority party was fired by the independents today in an appeal addressed by the central 'committee of Hugo Haase's partv to its members ihroucrhout the country, j urging them immediately to organize meetings for publicly protesting against the anti -labor policy of the present government. The independents charge the Scheidemann ministry with supporting an auxiliary military rule and with organzing" strike breakers.

(By the Associatpd Press) The latest advices concerning the fighting, at Frankfort and the re inrwal of the strike in Berlin confirm the impression prevailing In Germany i when the former Berlin correspon jdent of the Associated Press left there a week that the then comparative lull in the manifestations of industrial disorder and revolutionary violence I and pillago by the rabble was only 1 temporary. Germany was at that time fairly I quiet, the only important exception i being a strike in the surrounding re gion. The March insurrection in Ber lin nnd the disturbances in central Germany and in East Prussia had been suppressed; the flame of disor der was only flickering in the Silesia coal fields, while order was being maintained in Bremen. Essen and oth er cities, formerly scenes of Sparta can uprisings, and the Socialist prole tariat of Bavaria, although running affairs in that state without regard tq the central government, were nbt seeking any occasion of conflict with the central authorities. ivm i'h the surface there were abundant possibilities of trouble. The I majority of (ho German w orking men, ; particularly the married men, wish to work, although higher wages are be ing constantly demanded, to meet the rising cost of food. An energetic jSpartacan minority and the younger irrepressibles, however, are constantly! I causing trouble and preaching lioMu-- vism doctrines of reiterated political I strikes to dispossess factory owners' and overthrow the present govern jment. I On earlier occasions, as at Berlin and in the Ruhr region, these minori ties had been able to invfigle or per suade others into joining the strike movement, producing higher wages in case of success and holding out the' bait of abundant food shipments from! Russia if the government were ovej--thrown and an alliance concluded with1 bolshevist Russia. The factory owners feared that ihr I radical minority might again domin ate their fellows if a new strike was j called under propitious circumstances particularly as there were a number of big establishments, known colloqui ally as "Liebknecht Plants." where the workmen were largely Spartacan, who could be counted on to give a most satisfactory impetus to a strike by go -! ing out In a body at a given signal. Eactory owners and others In close touch with industrial conditions re--ard iht distribution of American food1 supplies at reasonable prices as the' only possibility of mastering the strike movement, re-establishing industrial order and stimulating production. With the workmen able to buy with their j wages the necessary food, the may j be able to shake off the influence ot ' the radicals. Without this possibility all must inevitably drift completely into the domination of the extremists The Industrial situation is compli cated by a shortage of coal and raw materials. Factories are running only j five days a week on a short schedule' of hours. Should the coal production I be increased and transportation lni- proved, there would be a far better outlook for industry. 1 ieaaing uerman manufacturers par ticularly in the electrical and machin ery lines, assured the correspondent that they would have rfo difficulty in (doinq a profitable business even un der the present wage scale if the food and fuel difficulty was solved. The food situation was rapidly becoming ! critical when tho food and shipping agreement was signed. But the speedy arrival. of American food ships :with food on board, had already had an imposing effect on general senti ment, though distribution had not be gun a week ago I The exhaustion of the potato stocks waa In sight, the food administrators j hoping only to continue the reduced ! ration until into May. Some stocks of grain could last at best onlv into the third week of May. The emaciat ed herds of Germany were no longej able to supply even "the reduced meat j ration of from four to seven ounces per weel. The governmental distri bution of bread was slightly over live pounds a week, but was still function- : ing efficiently. Rationing Machinery Broken Down Otherwise the rationing machlnerv hod largely broken don. either on ac count of exhaustion of supplies or in-! ability of a weak government to en-I force the purchasing regulations, Which had been beyond the power of a strong war government The ration, even on papor, was inadequate to' maintain the working ability of peo ple weakened by four years of food I privation. Everyone, rich and poor, j bought what supplies could be obtain-1 ed outside the rations at enormous j prices. The workman, earning his imposing thirty or forty marks per day. had) been spending a day's wages for a pound of lard, pork or beef. The more unfortunate middle (lass man, on a fixed salary, was unable to tinance such luxury except on the rarest oc casions. Both of these classes at the1 end of March found that, even at such exorbitant prices, nothing was to be obtained Restaurants, which earlier had catered to customers with money and had furnished them with food, without the presentation of a card! were being forced to obey the law. The long wait for the" decision of j ihe peace conference, and the press' reports from time to time of decis- 1 ions adverse to Germany had produced a very pessimistic sentiment, and, just I as the government representatives' talked of refusing to sign a humiliat ing treaty, so many publicists and men in various walks of life had begun to argue the advisability of casting over the west and coming to an understand ing with Bolshevist Russia. This sentiment, when coming from those of the better classes, was un doubtedly voiced largely for foreign consumption. An alliance with Rus sia and Bolshevism, however, is a plank in the plan of the independent socialists in their big drive for power, and is a cardinal principle of the prop aganda of the Spartacans who are so largely financed by Russian money that the government early in March in troduced special emergency legislation 0 T H E GAM ELY I THE STRAIGHT-VP SHOULDERS SHOVN IN THE 8 ' I SKETCH ARE MADE COMFORTABLE AND PRACTICAll BK.

FOUR BILLIONS WASHINGTON, pnl 3.- The pass ! ing of the "billion dollar" congresses of pre-war days and the coming for the ! peace period of "four billion dollar" congresses was predicted tonight in a Statement by Representative Good of Towa, who will be chairman of the ap propriations committee in the next house. Reviewing the financial problems to be faced by the next, congress, Mr. Good estimated that the appropriations "necessary for the various government expenditures" in thf fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, would total more than $3, SCO, 000, 000. Strictest pronoun, he added, would be necessary to hold ex penditures down even to this tutal "The next congress." said Mr. Good In bis statement, "will be brought face to face with manv new and intricate problems, and many of them will call for large expendftUD B Of money. It is impossible to estimate what expend itures will be involved in the future in tho administration of the railroads, operation of our merchant marine, the war risk Insurance payments and to provide homesteads for our soldiers. "While difficult to make a reliable forecast as to what the expenditures of the government will be for the fis cal year ending June 30, 1921. it is rea sonably safe to assume lhat the execu tive departments will most earnestly urge appropriations at. least as large as those appropriated for. the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, for such ap propriations were made to administer these departments on a peace basis. If we assume, however, that both the military and naval programs will be greatly reduced and that our standing army will be limited to 250,000 men, it will require rather strict economy to bring the regular annual supply bills under $2,150,000,000, To this must be added the permanent and indefinite ap- CmJPi 6 Bell-ans CS-ffil Hot water KjflSJPl Sure Relief BELL-ANS FOR INDIGESTION propriations of approximately $1.G50, 000,000 or a grand total of more than $3,800,000,090 necessary for the va rious government activities It will require the exercise of strict economy to hold the expenditures down to ap proximately these figures." Mr. Good estimated that the appro priation made bv congress for the war period and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920. totalled more than $47, 110.000.000. The revenue to meet these appropriations, lie estimated at $16. 657.000,000 to be derived through cus toms receipts and income and other taxes and $25 0RS. 000.000 to be raised from the sale of bonds, notes and war savings stamps. "The appropriations," Mr Good add ed, "to supply deficiencies in the va rious departments are chargeable against the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919. and when deducted from the total of the appropriations above referred to. it will be found that thjp total reve nue will fall short of meeting the ap propriations for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1920, by approximately $3. 500.000.000. A part of thin deficit will no doubt be made up from war salvage receipts and the balance must be met by the sale of bonds " EXHAUSTED BODIES TIRED NERVES Relieved Absolutely by Cadomene Tablets The Real, Satisfying Tonic.

(By The Asso ciated Press) The curtain was raised for the Bnthh public on the position of the allied armies in north Russia for the first time time this afternoon. The serious situation in the Murmansk region and the attempt by the Bolshe vik! to drive the allied troops on the I Archangel front into the sea are the cause of much anxiety.

LONDON, April 3 Dispatches from Omsk rrpurt that during the last few days the bolsheviki have been retiring on the Orenburg front so rapidly that the Siberian armies in pursuit are un able to keep in touch.

The bolsheviki had accumulated at ! Orenburg over three million hundred- I weight of grain which they had seized I in the Cossack villager.
