CRUSH SPARTACANS FIRST TASK FACING | GERMAN REPUBLIC By Frank J. Taylor. (United Press correspondent.) Berlin, March 20. (By Mail.)— Crushing the Spartacist movement is the first and most immediate duty of the new German republic, accard- ing to Minister-President Scheide- mann. His views are held by practi- cally everyone in Germany, that does not belong to the Spartacans is a blind fight against hidden enemies and the trembling republic is having a bhard time of it. It is one thing to declare a war to the finish against the Spartacans, as Scheidemann did on behalf of the government on February 21, and an- other thing to carry that war out.

The Spartacan leaders have con- tinually covered themselves under the cloak of labor leaders. More and more it is becoming increasingly clear that Spartacism is not a labor movement but a political and econo- mie struggle. Invariably the Sparta- cans have begun their work as a strike or a series of strikes, inspired by propaganda directed against wealth and the government. When the issue became clearer, it was seen that the struggie was not for the workman, but that he had been used as a means for political ends. In a considerable degree, the Spartacan movement_ corresponds to the I. W.

Lycan, accompan- ied by his wife, returned to Bemidji this morning from San Francisco where he has been on temporary duty on the receiving ship Boston. Lieut. Lycan has been released from active duty and while he has not definitely decided plans for the future it is probable that he will remain in Be- midji. It will be remembered that it was Lieut. Lycan who instigated the es- tablishment of a division of the naval militia in Bemidji, and in conse- quence of his efforts Bemidji was en- abled to be represented among the first cities of the country in sending a well organized and excellently trained body of fighting men to an- swer the call to colors immediately following the declaration of war.

The German government, facing duced Europe to America, and the surprise is mutual. No longer can this problem for the first time, hesi- tated to use force against its own Europe refer to America as the land of the almighty dollar, and let it every man woman and child should soon belong, according to Spartacan creeds. It would be a general wip- ing-out of the established order. Comment on the merits or demerits of this movement is unnecessary. Familiarity with Spartacan, or bol- shevik, or eommunist movements shows that your point of view is tempered by how hungry and how desperate you are. It is conceivable that practically everyome, with the éxception of a few individuals of iron will, would become a Spartacan if he were starved long enough. This is the position of Germany, or rather districts in Germany, which the government is trying to keep in order. Factories which have been paying high wages to munition work- ers have suddenly become idle. Food becomes more and more scarce and as suffering continues people become more and more mentally bolshevik. Along comes a'Spartacan leader and offers fifty marks a day, and pays it too, to the man who will demonstrate and fight for “freedom from the gov- ernment which has stolen the peo- ple's revolution,” as the cry is word- ed. It goes without saying that leader can get followers. To make the illustration more real, place it in on actual and living city, Dusseldorf, for example, for it has been in Spartacan hands for three months. Dusseldorf is an in- dustrial city rich and busy in normal mous sums of money, which the Ger ing all they wanted was America's moral support. After the United States became a belligerent, Europe pleaded for millions of America’s troops, and now that the war is over suggestions are being made in Paris and Rome that the war debts be pooled so that the United States shall take over a large part of the finan- cial obligations of the allied nations America's experience as a world power has demonstrated during the past two years that Europe is more keenly alive to material advantages than the United States ever was. The exhaustion of the European coun- tries accounts for much, but by no means for all of their efforts to get all they can out of the peace treaty The old diplomacy of loot is far from dead. This means that events of the past two years, and especially the most recent months, have proven that the leadership of the world, if there is to be a new civilization, must pass to people. It was an idealistic and a gocialistic government, and it sought to start a new world with a clean slate. Hence it tolerated the Sparta- can movements, and tried to use prop- times.

FORTY-FIVE CENTS PER MONTH WHIPPET TANK WITH SCARS OF WAR TO VISIT BEMIDJI SOON Coming Here in Interest of Vic- tory Loan Campaign—Giant Parade Being Arranged. EARL BYER PLACED IN CHARGE OF PROGRAM Planned to Bring People of Sur- rounding Country Here.— Bond Sales Given Start. Mottled heavily by the brush of the camoufluer, driven by a member of the United States tank corps and showing scars of German bullets, an American “whippet” tank will visit Bemidji April 17, ariving here early in the morning from Grand Rapids, and will be used in a monstrous par- ade here that the victory liberty loan campaign may be given a substantial start. This was announced by W. L. Brooks, chairman of the county loan campaign, this morning. Earl W. Byer has been named to complete arrangements for thé dem- onstration to be given following the arrival of the tank, and already he has planned a publicity campaign which will bring people from the sur- rounding country to witness the par- ade. It is probable that boys who have returned from military service will be asked to participate. One of Fleet. The tank which i to visit Bemidji is one of the flaet of twenty that are operating in varloys parts of the ninth federal reserve district. They plan on visiting as many towns as possible between now and May 10. Some of the tanks carry the famous French 37 millimetre gun and others are armed with the Marlin machine gun. Before starting through the ninth district, the twenty .tanks and their forty flrlver wero .mnblliaod neapolis. cfore 'scatiering.. they staged parades in 8t. Paul and Min-~ neapolis.

The “‘whippets” are 16 feet long, weigh 7 tons, have a maximum speed of 12 miles an hour and can show a Rocky Mountain t some things about getting over fmpassable trafls. They can climb hflls-that are almost perpendicular, go headfirst over cliffs without injury to tgnk or driver and can wade sloughs like a duck. The tank that Is coming.to Bemidji is working on a timetable as in- flexible as the timetable of a pas- senger train, although it will have to travel on a flat car by freight train. Details of the tank's visit will be published in The Pioneer when all the plans are completed. LOAN FLIERS COMING HERE. BUT AT NIGHT Bemidji persons who had hoped that the airplane circus which is to tour the country in the interest of the Victory loan would come here are to be disappointed. The circus, which fncludes 16 airplanes will be in Duluth April 21, and from there it will go to Grand Forks, traveling through Bemidji during the middle of the night on a special train of thirteen coaches and will have the right-of-way over all traffic in its "nwing~nrounl) the-circuft.” OPERATION AND CONTBOL OF MERCHANT MARINE DISCUSSED St. Paul, April 5.—Future opera- tion and control of the American merchant marine will be outlined to business men of the northwest when Edward N.
