Arrett of Council Committee
When Fischer and his fifty or a
chundred men Invaded the Diet building.
Fischer anil twenty men entered tlio
meeting room, pointing revolvers at tho
.twelve committee members of the Sol
diers' nnd Workmen's Council and said
"Hands up I We arrest you In tne
name of the Government'
The committee members soon recov
ered from their surprise and desired to
see the warrant. Fischer, who had
none. Insisted that he had received the
authority by te'ephone. "Then let us
consult the People's Commissioners by
telephone," was suggested, but Fischer s
men stood guard over the telephone.
"Form In two detachments, "nch tak
ing six members of the executive com
mittee to prison," commanded Fischer.
But)ust then Herr Bnrth, one of the
Peop'c's Commissioners, who happened
to bo In the building, stepped into the
meeting room and, hearing what had
happened, told Fischer that the People's
Commissioners could not possibly have
VtrrinrAil fh nrrnKts or he wnlllil h:i

' Fischer seemed uncertain, and his
men began to waver. Finally It was
agreed that most of his men should re-

This happened soon alter i o ciock
About the same time a long column of
soldiers and sailors, headed by a drum
cdrps, matched down the Wllhelmstrasse,
lining up In front or tne unancenor s
building. Soon other smaller detach-
fments Joined. They belonged to a dozen
ftllfterent formations, and as they as-
. surcd your correspondent, who went
'among them, had no other Intention
than to demonstrate their loyalty to tho

Blre for an early national convention.
: Splro, their leader, made a speecn,
:jrlvlng expression to these wishes. His
most significant words, however, were
.drewned In the noise, but a newspaper
report, evidently furnished by himself,
quotes him as making the following slg--Tllflcant
remark:
'Tbe executive commltte of the Sol
dfers" and Workmen's Council mu t no
longer be permitted to put Its clumsy
:hand to the wheel of -the Government
or exert any pressure upon It. The
'executive committee's evil Influence
should be stopped at once. We are sure
rtftat we are acting In the name of the
' Vwholo nation, and especially In the
name of our brother soldiers. If we now
: proclaim Fritz Ebert President of the
iCsrman Republic." i
K Kbert Ignorea Presidency Offer
E Deafening applause and the rattle of
'many drums greeted the appearance j(
Kbert, who made the short speech al
ready reported. He Ignored Splro's offer,
defended the executive committee of the
Soldiers' and Workmen's Council and
stated that the national convention
would have the decisive word on every-
' thing.
C " Two other speakers who followed, a '
young civilian and a Bailor from Kiel,
rave expression to antagonism to the
, Soldiers' nnd Workmen's Council. It

Kbert to declare himself against tho

of the People's Commissioners."
The soldiers and sailors had' hardly
marched fiway, when Fischer and his
men nrrUed from the Diet building.
Ho asked to sec Hbert, and a slip of
paper on which to state his business
was handed him. He wrote: "I wish to
report that 1 have Just placed the ex
ecutive committee of the Soldiers nnd'
Workmen's Council under arrejt In their
meeting room, as ordered by the peoplc'B
commissioners. They demand to see a
written order for their arrest "
Fischer was n once admitted to the
council by the nstonlshed iK-ople's com
missioners, who told him ery plainly
that he must be a fool to accept notice
of such an Important order by tele
phone. Hunse suggested that probably
the captain of Kopcnlek had been nt
work again, but the other member
could not see the Joke, called the palace
guard, placed Fischer and his com
panions under arrest and dispatched a
trusty person tot the Wet pubico to
release the Soldiers and Workmen's
committee nnd explain the situation
Meeting- Hears at Arrrl
Between 5 nnd iS o'clock some 500
persons, mostly unemplojed. gathered In
Stophla Hall, In the northern dlitrlct of
Berlin, and listened to speeches made by
members of the Deserters' Council, who
aro said to be In the pay of I-lcb-knfeht.
Suddenly a door opened nnd n
man called out:
"Comrades, they hae arrested the
executive committee of the Soldiers nnd
Workmen's Council. This Is the ne-
glmilng of the counter-revolution. Will
! vou nermlt Schcldemann and his Junker
friends to cheat yoil?"
The 500 men formed In line, proceed
ing on Oranlenhurgcrstrasso toward
Chaussestrasse. They shouted, "Hurrah
for Llebknecht I" nnd horo along great
posters reading, "Down with lllnden
burg! Down with the ollleers who hide
in the Soldiers' Council !"
Some women and cnlldren followed
them At the corner of ImallilcnMrsishc
some guard fuhlllers, who hac bar
racks close by, were In position with
machino gun- They had been alarmed
by a cry that the approaching column
was composed of rtpart"cide-, who in-
shouted: "Go back oi we shoot!"
A man carrying a red flag Kild
"Comrades, you are not going to :-hoot
us We intend to protect the fruits of
the revolution."
But the soldiers would not hear
"Back or wo fire'" they shouted again
Then the crowd surged forward.
"Fire : ' came the command The ma

went up. Down went the man lit the

neighboring houses, where they called

About 4 o'clock In the afternoon Cap

of the so-called Franzer Regiment, as
sembled the soldiers' council there, and

j Gove nment to explain how the execu

The great demand for the "DUO" makes it advisable
for our customers to purchase without delay, espe
cially where the "DUO" is to be a welcome Christ
mas gift to men still in camp on this side, or men at
home.
For the same reason, merchants should place orders
early to insure delivery. Owing to present-day con
ditions in the labor and material fields, we will be hard
pressed to keep up the supply. Therefore, we suggest
that you telephone us and thus enable us to meet your
requirements. The DUO LATHER BRUSH is
superior to anything of the kind ever put on the
market. It has an air-tight valve that keeps the air and
water away from the soap. This is an exclusive feature
that insures cleanliness and prevents clogging.
The window display at Ledger Central all last week,
helped to make the instantaneous success. It brought
the crowds to the window, then sent them to the stores.
The DUO Lather Brush and cream containers are
now on sale at drug, department, hardware, sporting

Diet's palace they found It nlready In
charge of Fischer's men, whereupon they
marched to the Brandcnburghcr gale.
There they met tho palace guard of
sailors under Count Mcttcrnlch. The
Frnniers Joined the latter, nnd together
they marched to tho Chancellor's palaco
nnd Joined In the ovation to Kbert.
As they were entering Llpzlgerstrasse,
homeward bound, they encountered an
automobile. In which were seated two
former members of their regiment, who
persuaded Commandant Franz to lead
his men to the oltlces of Die Rote Fnhne
nnd make n search for the stolen Gov
ernment seajs nnd money said to be In
the possession of Llebknecht. They were
admitted without difficulty, but they
found no seals.
After holding the ofTIco of Die Rote
Fnhne for an hour and a half, a deputy
of Commissioner Hanse appeared and
declared that the Government had not
authorized the .seizure. Ho told the
crowd to clear out, which It did with
alacrity.
I'lidcr-onlcrrH to the Ilencne
An hour before Commander Suppe, In
charge of 5000 under-olllcers, who on y
recently organized for the protection of
.ho Kbert-Hnase government, wns noti
fied by telephone that crowds of soldiers
i ml massi'S of peoplo had assembled on
Unter den Linden, on Wllhelmstrasse
and In tho Diet building, evidently In
tending to cause trouble for tho Gov
ernment. Suppo Immediately summoned
about 500 former officers and proceeded
down I'nter den Linden. He took a po
rtion at tho corner of Wllhelmstrasse
and closeif both streets to the public.
Then he sent a reconnolterlng plntoon
towaid the Chancellor's palace. The lat
ter was met by tho palace guards, home
ward bound. Not knowing whether tne
under-olllcers were friendly or other
wise, Mctternich's men prepared for no
tion. So did the under-oilcers. Blood
shed, however, was avoided by Mcttcr

Your cor-ehpondent was Informed
this afternoon that the Government had
already commenced an investigation. It
s thought quite likely that tlte person
who gave Fischer tho order for the ar
rest of the executive committee of the
Soldiers nnd Workmen's Council : Cap
tain Kcssler, who o dfred tho Franzer
Regiment to take part In the arrest and
the ovntlon to Kbert : the unknown man,
who announced to the deserters' coun

rest of the executlvo committee had
aken place, the ollleers who Incited the
guard fusiliers to bloodshed 'In the
Chnusseestrassc, nnd the person who
notified Suppe, commander of the under
ollleers, all acted under the Influence of
some as yet unknown parties, who sought
to create trouble and confusion, under
-over of wfilch, perhaps, more serious
attacks were planned. Others, however,
re still Inclined to see the occurrences
of last night n.s merely the Irresponsible
activity of well-menning hotheads.
Counter-Revolt Is

Continued from Pace One
on Unter den Linden, accompanied
by his usual following In automobiles
armed with machine guns. Spcaklns
from their vehicles he nnd other ora

hesitatingly, recognizing them ns be
longing to the Government's pollco
force. "Don't shoot, don't shoot," they
cried, nnd tho men aboard shouted
back that they would not shoot so
long ns tho peoplo behnved.
Radicals Capture Police Cars
Then nil of a sudden tho crowds
rushed forwnrd nnd before the sol
diers knew what wns happening they
were swept from the armored cars
and their places occupied by the tu
multuous vvnve. Tho cars were then
taken past the Chancellor's palace,
winding their way through cnormouH
masses that by this time nearly blocked
WilhelmstrnsHe.
In front of tho Brandenburger gnto
Llebknecht again, nddrcssed the peo
ple, praising them for what they had
done. It was n. brave thing, he said,
to rob tho Government of means for
shedding blood, meaning the seizure of
the armored cars, nnd then he pro
ceeded to tell the people how, as ho
alleged, seveial guurd regiments had
been kept for some das nil ready at
Nlcklassee, .between Potsdam and Ber
lin, to sweep on the capital, should
the men In power find that they could
no longer withstand the anger of tho
people. Ho said that Marten, Ma
tuschka and llhelnbaden were In tho
nav of tho Government nnd should be
shot on sight "by any honest Sparta-,
cldes.'
After that the crowds dispersed,
,ome soldiers apparently belonging to
the Llebknecht group, taking charge
of tho captured cars.
Itcrllu, Dec. 8 (via Copenhagen.)
Yesterday nftcr.noon news spread over
Berlin that Llebknecht was about to
march on the Chancellor's palace with
2000 men to seize It.
Toward 4 o'clock a large automobile
with a machine gun aboard made Its
appearance In Unter den Linden, fol
lowed by several other cars filled with
armed men, in uniforms and civilian
clothes. Tho first was occupied by
Llebknecht nnd his guard. Tho pro
cession stopped at various places and
by soundlns its horn and with cries
of "Hurrah for Liberty! Down with
Kbert and Scheldemann!" quickly col
lected large crowds, whom Llebknecht
addressed in his most fanatical style.
He asked the people to go on a gen
eral strike, to build barricades and put
lown tho counter-revolutionary move
ment by force of arms, to depose tho
present Government at once and to
make the executlvo committee of-tho
Soldiers nnd Workmens Council the
highest authority in Germany.
At each place whole the procession
stopped thousands of people gathered
nulckly. But so llttln enthusiasm
was evinced for the Llebknecht ideas
tln't he soon left Unter don Linden
and turned northward, stopping, how
ever, in front of the Kommundantur.

How Pennsylvania Met the
War Demand for Gasoline
t
Pennsylvania is the mother-state of petroleum.
though the mid-continent fields now yield more
"crude," the Keystone State was a leader in sup
plying the war needs of gasoline.
War needs developed three standard grades of
gasoline. The highest grades used by the pow-
erf ul aeroplanes for combat purposes, and to reach
the highest altitudes, is known as "Fighting"
Gasoline.' The second grade known as "Aviation"
Gasoline is used for aeroplane engines employed
in less exacting work. The third grade is termed
"Motor" Gasoline and is used chief ly for motor
transport needs.
The "quantities of gasoline transferred over-seas
by vessels clearing from the Delaware River ports
supplied our army and our allies with practically
all of the "Fighting" Gasoline, with about one
half of all the "Aviation" Gasoline and with
about one-third of all the "Motor" Gasoline shipped
from this country.
The patriotism of the automobilists of Pennsyl

it possible for Atlantic Gasoline to meet the needs
for a superf uel the powerful "Fighting' ' Gasoline, r

to form the back-bone of the supply of Aviation
Gasoline and to insure an, adequate" supply of
"Motor" Gasoline for the fighting forces.

In a copy of the Cologne Gazette was
nn account of war correspondent
Wegener's Interview with the ex-Knlser,
In which thc Inttcr tried to put nil diplo
matic responsibility on to Von Bethmann
Holhveg and Von Jngow. Wegener men
tioned that the Interview took place
shortly beforo Wllhelm's flight to the
Netherlands, and I noticed that In addi
tion to the marginal markings the word
"flight" was underlined In red Ink, (ap
parently by n.pcn cither spiteful or In

cases passages underscored In red1 Inis
were seen to refer to tho British Labor
party's prospects and policy.

symposium of the world's news Is a
very Illuminating Indication of tho lines

marked passages showed me that those

sign of political dissension in England
