GERMANY surrendered again last
week, end thereupon two more
dictntoreblpe sprung up. Havtrg re
ceived the assurance of support from
the premiers of all the Herman states.
President Ebert and Chancellor Strese
mann announced that paaslve resist
ance in the Ruhr sod the Rhineland
van officially abandoned. First recit-
ing the circumstances of the French
and Belgian occupation, the proclama
tion of surrender continued:
"Ttie former production of the Ruhr
nnd the Rhineland ceased and the
economic life In occupied and unoccu
pied Germany became disorganized. It
Is most seriously to be feared that
should the same line of action ss
hitherto be proceeded with, the crea
tion of u regular currency, the main
tenance of economic life, and existence
Itself would he Impossible for our peo
ple. In the Interest of Germany's
future, as In that of the Rhineland
and the Ruhr, this danger must be
removed. In order to preserve the life
of the people nnd the state we are
today fared with the dire necessity of
relinquishing the struggle.
"It dejM-nds on the powers which
huve Invaded our territory and on their
allies by adhering to this ’.den to give
pence to Germany or to bring about
by rejection of this peuce all tho conse
quences which would ensue with re
spect to the relations between peoples.
We Invite the i/erman people to stand
closely together In the days of dire
morel and material strife which are
to come. Only thus shall he frus
trated all projects for dismemberment
of the retch, and the nation recover
its honor, life and liberty, which Is
Its Imprescriptible right."
Supplementing this, the chancellor
told a gathering of newspuper men
that If France refused to show mercy
and mude a second dictated peace, he
would as a last extreme break off all
relations with the allies and let come
what will, even though the allies march
upon Berlin and occupy the whole of
Germany l>y military force.
The first reunion to the surrender
came In Bavaria, the center of monarch
ism. The ministerial council of that
state met, listened to Premier von
Knitting's explanation of his support
of Stresemnnu’s policy and swiftly dis
credited him. It then named Gustave
von Katir, former Bavarian premier, as
dictator and declared the German con
stitution set aside so far as Bavaria
was concerned. Among the laws defin
itely announced suspended are all
those guaranteeing freedom of speech,
press, assembly, telephone, telegram,
secrecy of mall, secrecy and sanctity
of person, dwelling and property,
llaheas corpus Is declared nonexistent.
llerr von Kuhr Is vested with pow
ers to call troops nnd use troops, ar
rest any one he chooses, keep pris
oners without trial and seize the prop
erty of any one he declares an enemy
of the nation. The ministerial council
also issued orders placing the rail
roads at the dii tutor's disposal, de
daring all officials subordinate to his
will and that his orders are higher
law than the laws of the national Ger
man government. It was announced
tlmt there was uo appeal from his de
cisions.
St rose mans at once called an ex
traordinary session of tlm cabinet In
Berlin and It was decided that the na
tional government would not recog
nize the Bavarian dictatorship and
would oppose ll with ut! the means In
Its power. President Kl-ert then pro
claimed the existence of extraordinary
conditions'' and appointed War Min
ister Otto Uessler military dictator,
giving him practically complete ex
ecutive power. A decree was Issued
restricting such constitutional rlghls
as freedom of the press and the right
of assembly, and authorizing domi
ciliary searches and seizures.
If the opportunity seems ripe, Von
Kuhr may he expected to restore the
monarchy In Bavnrlu with Grown
Prince Rupfechl on the throne. In
this he might he opposed by General
I.Ollendorff, who Is a pan-German, and
perhaps hy Adolph illttler, head of the
Bavarian fuselstl.
Of course the Communists are try
ing to take advantage of the mlx-up
but so far they have made little prog
ress. That they are receiving arms
and other aid from the Itusslnn soviet
government has been proved by the
Berlin authorities.

struggle Is altogether uncertain. The
latest reports said King Boris and
Premier Zankoff had left Sofia, where
fighting was gplng on, and that nearly

the capital from the north. The war
office announced that the decisive bat

ambassadors ordered this payment.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE

vised a way for the government to

reiterates Ids opposition to government
price fixing of any one crop, and ex
presses the oplnlou that white the

make conditions worse unless produc

rates should be anulyzed.

of the original settlers on projects now
remain on them as water users." He
also cites the fact that “one hundred

R
cation board. Training children In
habits of highway safety is the princi
pal task of the 1923 safety campaign,
but through the children It Is hoped
that the principles of traffic regulation
and safety education will be impressed
upon adults, both pedestrians and
drivers alike.
The third annual safety campaign
takes the form of two contests, one
among elementary school pupils and
another among elementary school
teachers. Approximately live hundred
stale and national prizes are to be
given for the beat essays and lessons
written. The prize* offered are the
gifts of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce,' which Is de
sirous of reducing the nnmher of acci
dents and fatalities due to traffic mis
haps. In the two previous years ap
proximately 400,000 pupils and 50,000
teachers have participated each au
tumn.
The subject of the essays which
children are Invited to write Is

the rare gold certificates.
Working to make the job of counter

experts chose the method of standard

of all kinds of currency one distinc
