\ PLANS FOR GERMA ROVALIST UPRISING ‘REVEALED BY PAPER Monarchists to Use Radical OQutbreak as Excuse to Assume Power. (By Wireless to The Star and New York World. Copyright, 1921.) BERLIN, January 22—The most sensational expose since the Capp ©coup of monarchistic machination in Germany is sprung today by the com- munist organ, Rote Fahne, which publishes in full the text of a long document of instructions for a coun- ter-revolutionary outbreak in March. The names of Ludendorff, Revent- low, Escherich, Vitzhum. von Eck- stard and von Witkowski appear in the paper, which is in the form of a message, in the letter of the patri- otic royalist party. It bears the date of January 11 and carfies a ref- erence number and the caption, “In- struction for the Occurrence of a Communistic Uprising.” Obviously, it is a confidential cir- cular, addressed to the leaders of the counter-revolutionary organization. as indicated by the Rote Fahne, this copy being addressed to District Capt. Plauen. §g. 48 Fuerstenstrasse, “For your information and use in instruct- ing the men.” It bears the signa- ture von Witkowsky, s manager of the organization's business office. “In agreement with the royalist par- ties of Bavaria and Saxony.” it reads. “we give the following gemeral and specific instructions for the projected attempt of communistic organizations to gain possession of the state. Police Assure Help. “Disturbances of the unemployed may certainly be expected in March, and they may be easily exploited by the communists. We must be just to the task, .which, as the royalist party, we have imposed upon ourselves, and on our part we must not hesitate to provoke such disorders. “As a last resort, an uprising will take place in Berlin, where we shall seize the government buildings and the post and railroad service. The action will be successful this time, because the reichweser and the police will be with us. Agreements reached with the reichwehr and the police authorize us to say that the feeling prevailing in these organizations justifies our as- sumption. “It will be the task of subordinate leaders of our allied organizations to press with the utmost energy all op- position, as soon as our movement shall begin. “Unconditional obedience in all cir- cles of population must be enforced. Every individual leader must be clear in his own mind that, with the move- ment of our action, the power of gov- ernment has passed to us.

Special Tax on Alcokol As to the mortgages and guarantees which will be required from Ger- many, it is proposed that the allies, in accordance with clause 248 of the Versailles treaty, make a general levy oh all the receipts of the German state, to be enforced only in case of a German default. It is further pro- posed that the Germans shall be re- quired to set up special taxation upon alcohol, coal and other things as well as special customs duties for the es- tablishment of a fund for use in case her normal resources should prove in- adequate to pay her debt. As a last resort, the allies under this plan would be entitled to seize Germany's customs duties, request Germany to Suppress as measures of economy cer- tain appropriations provided in her budget and postpone certain pay- ments toward sinking fund of her in- ternal debt In order to lighten the burden upon German shoulders the experts of the allies recommend that a special com- mission to report before April 1 shall investigate the feusibility of a re- duction to 240,000,000 marks gold the cost of the allied army of occupation.

It also is suggested that Germany be allowed two years for the settlement of old commercial debts, that reprisals authorized un- der paragraph 18, annex 2, part 8, of the Versailles treaty against pos! war German properties be renounced, and that up to a definite amount German properties in allied countries be free from measures of Sequestra- tion. Hard Debt te Collect. T T am able to give in advance of other announcements the general system of the propositions outlined by the allied representatives at the Brussels conference. The objection is that it provides no definite fixation of the total amount of the actual German obliga- tion. This fixation every French politiclan_is anxious to avoid, fearing that the destruction of those illusions of immense and quick payments by the defeated Germans, which generally possess the French mind, may recoil upon his head. 1t is_ perfectly clear that the longer France waits the less she will get, because of decreasing allied wil- lingness to support her claims, while | with every moment of delay Germany will gain strength, ming con- stantly a more difficult debtor to deal with. Considerable criticism of Ley gues and Briand is heard because they, if not responsible for the above plan. favor it. Additional anxiety has been caused by the attitude of America. Ambas- sador Jusseraml has been unable so far to forward any definite indication of the course President Harding will follow. Because of this it is believed to be imperative that France should evolve, not a partial, but a compiete solution of the reparations problem before March 4, after which some en- trance of America into the field is looked for. Any definite plan would mwake the adaptation of the American tc the French attitude easfer than it could be if nothing definite were set- tled. It is for these various causes that the present moment i looked upon as being one of the most vital in_the history of Ce.

The doughboy had been buried in a shell hole in a wheat field belonging to a Frenchman. When members of the graves regis- tration service exhumed the body, the identification tag was gone. A pocket in the soldier’s tattered uniform gave up a Bible and an empty pocketbook. Nothing else was found. The locality where the body was found leads to the belief that the un- known hero was a member of the th, the National Guard division from New York. This division fought beside the British at the close of the war. Peasants living nearby said the soldler was killed on the last day of October. Leading Americans in the Paris colony sugges! that the body be buried at the foot of Washington Monument, as the unknown FKrench soldier was buried beneath the Arch of Tromph and the “unknown war- rier” interred in Westminster Abbey. VOTE FAVORS PRIVATE STREET CAR OWNERSHIP U. S. Chamber of Com.merce Refer- endum Shows Only Twenty- Four Against Proposal. Private ownership and operation of street railway lines received a large favorable vote as the result of a refercndum proposition submitted to its mémbers by the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, announced last night. The vote was 1,657 for private operation and ownership and l‘wenl}ufour against such a proposi- tion. The record of the voting on eight propositions dealing with street car problems showed totals of 1,460 to 167 in favor of relleving the car lines of “all burdens unrelated to the serv- ice performed.” Only one vote was cast against the suggestion that car companies should have “resident responsible executives' and make available to the publi “facts as to the result of operations. The vote in favor of approaching trolley problems on the basis of resent and future needs of the com- munity” was unanimous. MAINE SOCIETY ELECTS. Harold C. Roberts Succeeds Carter B.

The other dis- approved the construction of the pro- posed buildings on square 710, and recommended a site in Southwest ‘Washington. Some members contended that it was unfair to place these plants in the lat- ter section on the ground that the resi- dents of that community have not been heard on the question, while others asserted that the location there would not be economical, due to the long dis- the utilities commission. Yesterday’s accident was the first serious street car collision of the year. During the past two years there have been more than a dozen smash- ups involving street cars in the Dis- trict and on nearby suburban lines. Thirty-Five Injured. The biggest street car accident of 1919 was the overturning of a City and Suburban car on the curve at 2nd and R streets northeast, in which thirty-five persons were injured. An’official of the Washington Rall- way and Electric system stated last night that following that accident the company made a survey of all its lines and ‘established safety stops at a number of dangerous places. One of the safety stops established at that time, the official stated, was at Connecticut avenue and Bancroft place, near the scene of yesterday's collision, because of the street grade above that point. The motorman en- deavored to make the safety stop yesterday. On August 28, 1919, three persons were injured in a rear-end collision of Capital Traction cars on U street near 1l4th. On November 1 of that year, a Chevy Chase car jumped the track at 14th and U streets, but no one was injured. Two Other Collisions. ‘There. were two other car col- lisions toward the end of 1919, a rear- end crash on November 25, between two cars at 5th and G lision three days later between a W.B & A and W. R and E. cars at 26th street and Benning road north- east, in which five were injured. Here are some of the collisions which oceurred in the city during 1920: be- February 19—Rear-end crash tween Capital Traction cars at 31st and M streets. Four injured July 11—Washington Railway and Electric and Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis cars at Chesapeake Junction. Three hurt.

The man who waved it soon lost both the banner and his hat and acquired a black eye and an injured nose after five young Americans caught him outside the pler. He pre_ dicted that lots of red flags would flourish in the United States some Shared by Passeagers. d. This thought was shared by the de- hundreds who showered them with ay. parting Russians and many of the kisses and cries of “comrades, they stepped off American soil. “Ambassador” Martens, just before sailing, said his absence would be only temporary and would be “won- dered at in the near future, when the | United States and soviet Russia get together on friendly terms.” He expressed no satisfaction in leaving the country which for more than two years disdained to recognize him officially and then ordered him to depart. But he insisted it would be only a little while until he or some other “ambassador” would come to America from soviet Russia. ‘The steamer Stockholm, on which he sailed, will take the Russians to Gothenberg, Sweden. From_ there they will go to Libau, in the Latvian republic, and then journey overland to Moscow. —_———— GIRL CHOKED AND ROBBED NEGRO THUG GETS AWAY Teacher Badly Shaken Up, But Regains Stolen Purse and Money. An unidentified negro last night held up Miss Edith Appleby, secretary of the Fairmont School, and Miss Montgomery, teacher at the same in- stitution, as they neared the corner of 19th street and Mintwood place, choked Miss Appleby until she re- leased hold on her silver meshbag and escaped on a bicycle before per- sons aroused by the screams of the women could reach the scene. A purse containing more than $15 was dropped to the pavement during the struggle. Lieut. Stoll and several other mem- bers of the tenth precinct police com- mand were on hand shortly after the negro disappeared, but were unable to trace the route taken by the fugi- tive. It was learned that a colored boy pushing a bicycle had been seen on Columbia road a few minutes be- fore the hold-up, which occurred at about 8:45 o'clock. g refuse. Still other members declared that these plants should be placed outside the confines of the District. Bond Issue Is Opposed. The resolution opposing the float- ing of a bond issue for raising reve- nues for schoolhouses stated that it is inadvisable “for the federation to favor any other mode of raising funds for school buildings.” This resolu- tion was unanimously reported by the committee on law and legislature. Prior to adjournment, the federa- tion unanimously adopted another resolution felicitating Albert Schul- teis, on his elevation to the presi- dency of the Chamber of Commerce.
