May 21—A revolutionary movement broke here Manuel Chamorro, a band of rebels seizing fortress Loma, commanding this city. Upon representations from the American minister, John E. Ra- mer. however, the revolutionists later agreed to turn over the fort to the commander of the American marin at 10 o'clock to-night, to be given back to the government The capture of fortress Loma was effected at noon, under command of Gen. Arcenio Cruz, who took the po- sition by strategy in the absence of the commander. Other leaders of the revolutionary movement are Adan Camon and Salvador Castrillo. All are prominent conservatives, but are of the faction opposed to the present EFovernment. out Rebels’ Reply Friendly. As soon as news of the capture of the ! fortress was received the American minister sent a lett¥r to the commander of the rebellious troops. The reply stated that the rebels were friendly to the ‘Americans and that their pur- pose was to cause the resignation of the president and a change of the pres- ent cabinet. The American minister answered, stating that if the fort fired upon Campo de Marte, where the American | marines are stationed, or upon the city, the fire would be returned by the ma- rines. He also proposed that Gen. Cruz wsend three representatives to the Amer- jcan legation to meet three representa- tives of the government for a joint conference. Mr. Ramer then communicated by ‘wireless with Rear Admiral Coie of the | United States Navy, who replied that he was within 300 miles of Nicaragua and would arrive at-Corinto tomorrow ‘with 400 marines. Governmgat Recruiting Troops. The government was busy today re- cruiting troops, and expected that 1,000 men would arrive by tonight from Granada. There was rifie and machine gun fir- ing between the government troops and those holding the fortress during the afternoon, several soldiers being ‘wounded. Later at the conference it was agreed that Gen. Cruz would surrender the fortress at 10 o'clock tonight to the officer of the American marines, to be turned back to the government. It was aiso agreed that the civilians impli- cated in the revolution would be par- doned and that the inilitary partici- pants should be imprisoned for thirty days. There was high tension and fear among the people today, but every- thing was quiet late tonight. EMBASSY NOT INFORMED. Minister Chamorro Can Give No Reason for Revolt. Gen. Emiliano Chamorro, Nicarag- uan minister to the United States, said today that no advices had been received regarding the revolt, and that the news in the foregoing dis- patch was the first that had come to his attention. Gen. Chamorro is a cousin of the Nicaraguan president. The_reported leaders in the upris- ing. Gen. Arcenio Cruz, Adan Canton and Salvador Castrillo, were at one time connected with the present gov- crnment, Gen. Chamorro said, but he added he could give no reason for! the attempt ernment.

BERLIN, May 22.—The former kaiser may soon receive 200,000,000 marks ($47,600,000) in cash and hun- dreds of valuable paintings and other valuables from the German govern- ment in full gtllemenl of his claim, according to the socialist newspapers Freiheit and Vorwaerts. both of which protest against this plan and demand its abandonment. The ex- emperor filed a claim In the German courts for a great number of works of art, which are now in various museums and other public institu- tions and_ which were presented to | them by the kaiser himself and other | Hohenzollerns for many generations back. 3 “Though ‘it is true that kaisers and kings gave these treasures to the museums, it is even more true that the funds with which’ the monarchs bought them in the first place had been taken from the German people,” says Vorwaerts. The Frefheit declares that Prussian minister of finance, Herr Richter, who has the case in his hands, was . given this job merely for the purpose of helping the Hohenzollcrns to get as much money and valuable articles out of the people as possible. These statements have caused a sensation and aroused in- dignation among the masses. SOCIALISTS SEEK SEATS. Every New York District 'to Run Men for Congress.

The eternal question mark has been placed opposite the woman voter by the national headquarters of all par- tles here. Nobody knows a bit more today—now that three primary elec- tions have been held—about the way women will vote next autumn than | was known two years ago, except | one thing. and that's independence of { judgment Figures are not available. The states do not keep track of votes by sexes. The political organizations are trying to check up the number of women who voted in each primary, but there's no way to tell, for in- stance, how many republican women voted for Alter in Pennsylvania as | opposed to Pinchot for governor. or {how many ®preferred Beveridge to | New in Indiana. But every bit of in- formation from those states of a gen- eral character, and that means the statements of successful and unsuc- cessful candidates, indicates that { women took part far beyond the ex- pectations of of the political sharps. any | Womep Independent Units. | 1In other words, woman has the bal- | lot and now intends to use it in pri- maries as well as elections. The ef- | fect on American political parties is | already being estimated, not, however, from any table of statistics, but from a judgment of woman nature. Women may here and there have party pref- erences based upon tradition or en- | vironment, social or otherwise, but in the main the conclusion is being reached by those who have studied the question that women are an inde- pendent unit in the electorate. ganizations like the National League of Women Voters and the National Woman's Party, have tendency and remained intact, not- wiastanding the general entranchise- men: of women by constitutional amendment. Both the republicans and democrats have attempted to organize the women, but with relatively little suc- cess. Women have identified them- selves with the parties, but they have hown little sign of becoming thick- and-thin party supporters. The way they helped the revolt in Pennsyl- vania and the way they disregarded the organization's wishes in Indiana is proof sufficient that women will swing their influence to one side or the other depending upon their own intuitive judgment of a candidate's { ability or moral worth.

Employes of the department have I been enabled to turn out far more { work by co-ordination, co-operation | and increased industry of employes, | liberalization of practices through | decisions and rules, elimination of | lost motion and duplication of work— | in other words, “red tape”—the report set forth. . More Claims Handled. Concretely, the cost to the govern- ment of disposing of a claim for a pension has been reduced from $17.60, | the figure for April of last year, to | $11.50 for April of this year. With thirty-six fewer employes the pen- | sion bureau during the first eight ] months of the current fiscal year has disposed of 82,587 claims, compared i with an output of 53,191 claims for the first elght months of the preced- ing fiscal year. Classified by bureaus the following net savings are estimated to have | been brought about by the campaign ! of co-operation introduced by Secre- tary Fall: Solicitor’s office, $44,018.04; | secretary's office, $5,000; patent office, $98,00; pension othide, $517,325; gen- | eral land office, $144,500; bureau of | mines, $52,995; national park service, 137,066, and St Ellkzabeths Hospital, | $66,612, a total of $936,416.04. | " 'The office force in Washington of {the general land office performed with the same appropriation 35 per cent more work this year than last, thus effecting a consideradle cash | saving. s Less Curreat Claims.

It requires 'no gift of propheey to state that the women hold the balance of power on the de- cislon of such questions as prohibition, and that's why the “wets™ have been S0 eager to emphasize the statemerts of women who in local campaigns may declare themselves in favor of modification of existing laws. While “there are no statistics to prove it, therefore, the prevalent im- pression here, based upon reports from all parts of the country, is to the effect that the interest of women in politics is on the increase. There is a tendency on their part to quiz can- didates more carefully than ever be- fore. One of the biggest political meetings of its kind ever held, for in- stance, developed in Indiana the other day, when the State League of Wom- an Voters invited the successful re- publican and democratic candidates in the primaries for United States senator to state exactly their plat- forms and principles. the republican, and Mr. Ralston, the {democrat, were each given a half | hour on the first day of the conven- tion and drew lots to which should speak first. The candi- dates were askegd in advance to state their views on those general educ: tional and welfare measures in which the women have interested them- selves nationally. This form of questioning and in- quiry is characteristic of women's po- litical activity and the country will see more and more of it as the elec- tions roll ‘round from year to year. Twe Conclusions Draw: Two conclusions may be. drawn, however, even at this early stage of the game—the women -are believers in the direct primary system and will fight wooth and nail a return gen- erally to the convention system of selecting candidates, and they are identifying themselves with the pro- | gressive wing of each of the parties and will reserve for themselves the right to swing from one branch of the party to the other, indeed, from one party to another, depending upon which is the more progressive: Another { significant _circumstance which is the | cause of apprehension to the regular party leaders is the developing tendency of the woman voters to express their views in a party primary, and if the candldate who wins isn't sufficiently | progressive and the opposite party picks a man who is progressive, there is no hesitation to abandon one party [for the other in the election ftself. This swinging from one side to other will revolutionize beth political par- ties and the chances are the full ef- fect of woman's vote, which was hard to -discern in 1920 because of the enormous landslide of the republi- cans, will be noted and felt in the congressional elections this vear and in the next presidential election. {(Copyrigbt, 1022.)

When Representative Reed had fin- ished he yielded time to Representa- tive Ralph Gilbert of Kentucky, rank- ing democrat of the House District committee. Representative Gilbert is opposed to the bill on the general principle that all legislation of this sort is an infringement on property rights. % Representative Wheeler of Illinois and some others, who disagree with | certain provisions of the rent bill, have announced,. however, that they will vote in favor of the measure as reported to the House by the com- mittee. House Leader Mondell, after a visit | to the White House today said that with the committee itself, so serious- {1y divided, it is difficult for the House leader to see what he should really do in disposing of this legis- lation. Chairman Madden of the appropria- { tions committee is particularly inter- | ested in view of the fact that the | new bill calls for two additional com- { missioners, at a salary of $5,000 each.

Copyright, 1922, PARIS, France, May 22.—For. three-quarters of a century, it ap- pears, the world has been wrong in supposing that - Alexander Dumas, the elder, wrote “The Three Musketeers.” To be sure the | rattling, swashbuckling style and ithe warmth of sympathy inspired ! by the hero d'Artagnan probably | do come from him and also the L final version of the book as it ap- pears in print, but the main com- | position is sald to have been the .accomplishment of Auguste Ma- quet.

Special Dispateh to The Star. PORTLAND, Me., May —The problem of the German wives of American soldiers returned from the Rhineland has been solved in large degree so far as this city is con- cerned by the rapid discharge of the husbands from the Army. Probably 60 per cent of the doughboys who brought wives back with them on the transport Cantigny and were landed here have obtained their discharges and departed to seek their fortunes elsewhere. Even this partial solution has not been reached, however, without many | bitter tears on the part of the former frauleins of the Rhine country—tears of disappointment upon discovery how pitiful the American dollar is in its own country compared to its sovereign sway in the fatherland. Will Not Accept Charity. Confronted as they have been by the sudden plunge from German af- fluence to American poverty, the girl wives nevertheless have been too proud to accept other charity than quarters at the Y. W. C. A. The local chamber of commerce, the Rotary Club, and other organizations started to raise a fund to help set the young couples up in housekeep- ing, but encountered a sturdy spirit of independence which made it in- advisable to preceed very far. A part of the money thus raised was used in paying funeral expenses for a baby which died immediately after the ar- rival of the transport on the first voyage, and the rest is still held, pending an emergency. All of the young husbands who were* able to do so immediately ob- tained their discharge from the serv ice. Some others, with money saved on the Rhineland, sent their foreign- born brides to the homes of their parents to be cared for until they could rejoin them. Only about half a dozen couples of the first contin- gent. that came over are left in Port- Iand today, and these are all managing to get along without financial assis- tance or by borrowing small sums from the Red Cross, which are r turned almost immediately. Rents Seem High. The latter organization has been invaluable in helping the brides to get located in’ respectable quarters. In several instances couples have joined. together and taken a two- room - and - kitchenette - apartment, paying for it a sum that would have rented a palatial house in Germany. These little apartments are scrubbed and scrupulously clean. The bables are well tended and. the mothers make & pretense at least of being happy. But their eyes are wistful and they speak longingly now and then of the fatherland “We get 80 tired of not being able to go anywhere,” said _one of the brides to the writer. Some of the brideg admitted at the Y. W. C.

It turns what would have been a riotous election into a stand-pat arrangement under a coalitiog cabinet, leaving the exist- ling parties nearly evenly balanced in possession of power. It consolidates the Sinn Fein on the old basis of re- publicanism and shelves the dispute as to whether the republic is to be reached either as Michael Collins in-. tends, through.the working of the treaty, or as De Valera intends, | through breaking with the British and repudiating. the. treaty.
